The specific performance is: the
scene is very grand, and the film has realized the manipulation of satellites as murder weapons.
The stunts are very thrilling, whether it's Vin Diesel's cool skateboard at the beginning, the underwater motorcycle later, or Donnie Yen's earth-shattering breaking through a window and jumping off a bridge, all of them almost blinded Yueer's eyes and made Yueer's adrenaline rush. Line soars.
The context is very clear: Compared with "The Mechanic", which has no beginning and no end, only for the performance of super-high killing techniques and thrilling stunt scenes, "Extreme" has a very clear story line. In fact, whether it is computer special effects or Action stunts should all serve the main story. If there is no main story, no matter how wonderful the stunts or special effects, the whole movie cannot be supported.
Throughout the whole film, it fully interprets the core of this film: the sky enters the sea, and the rule is not dragged.
The story is old-fashioned: Stop disaster, save the world, the constant theme of American blockbusters.
The plot is very pale: justice fights evil, justice wins, and it has never escaped the cliché since the birth of the movie.
It was just mentioned at the beginning of the article that these two points are not unique to this film, but are common bottlenecks faced by the film industry all over the world. I believe that in the future film industry, it will be difficult for the plot to break through, and the means to attract audiences will become special effects and special effects.
The image is very old: the tattooed muscular man, the tough guy image of American movies. This is just like Chinese audiences have always liked the screen image of strong men with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but now they have begun to chase after the little fresh meat who can't distinguish between men and women. As time goes by, if the audience always faces one image, There will always be aesthetic fatigue. And this point, the same "tough guy" in the United States cannot avoid it.
In short, this is also a clichéd movie where you can guess the ending when you see the beginning, and the image of the protagonist makes people a little tired of aesthetics.
Speaking of Xiao Xianrou, I have to say Wu Yifan, the reason why "Now You See Me 2" will be able to reap more than 600 million box office in China, there is no doubt that Jay Chou contributed a lot, although he appeared in the film less than 5 minutes, and most of it was in the background, but there was definitely a part of the Chinese audience that came for him.
The same "Independence Day 2" in China's 1.15 billion box office should also be grateful to Angelababy. After all, seeing a star familiar to Chinese people in a foreign blockbuster really makes people feel extra friendly. How can I say that feeling? It's as if you were walking alone on the streets of a foreign country with blonde hair and blue eyes, and suddenly you see someone with the same black eyes and black hair as you who speaks Chinese. That kind of inner excitement is impossible. described.
In "Extreme", Donnie Yen undoubtedly attracted countless older Chinese audiences, while Wu Yifan attracted countless Chinese younger generation audiences. Although it cannot be denied that Wu Yifan's ability to attract fans in China is not small, his role in the film makes Yueer a little messy.
I remember Wu Yifan once asked Feng Xiaogang a question in "Old Cannon": Are you a funny guy invited by a monkey? As a result, in this film, he really made a prophecy, and really became "a funny thing invited by monkeys". Speaking of which, Yue'er doesn't mean to say that Vin Diesel is a monkey, please don't misunderstand, just borrow his (Kris Wu's) lines from previous movies.
In "Extreme Agent", he plays an Asian youth named Knicks, nicknamed The Hood, whose skill is to turn the audience around. But in the whole film, he only got high once, and according to Yue'er's own experience, in that kind of disco place, if anyone shouted something like that, the following people would immediately get high, right? Where is this skill? In this way, Wu Yifan has completely turned into a chicken rib foil in the film.
Of course, this is the director's setting, not his decision. Although Yue'er has complained about him in previous film reviews, he still has to admit that his performance in this film should be a breakthrough. At least it is no longer so cold and paralyzed. When laughing, the corners of the mouth can be seen to be upturned, and when nervous, the eyes can be seen to be rounded. The expression has become a lot more flexible than the previous movies, which is indeed a big improvement.
Speaking of which, Yue'er also wants to say something to the parents who like to complain about actors. When you are complaining about an actor, please don't forget to take a look at his progress.
