Although there were 12 new Chinese and foreign films released last weekend, they all seem to have a low sense of presence. The only "Alpha: The Wolf's Homecoming" that has a sense of existence has a box office of only 70 million. "Mission Impossible 6" is still The protagonist of the theater.
While watching Alpha on Friday, I kept regretting why I didn't go to the next hall to watch Disc 6 again and waste my time on this outdated film. "Alpha" has the visual sense of a juvenile inspirational film produced by Disney in the 1990s, and a cheap sense of a low-cost "epic film", which cannot impress today's audience at all. Whether it is externally or internally, it is actually outdated. .
The primitive people and primitive tribes in the film are simply "taken for granted", just a background, just like the beginning of the fairy tale book we read when we were children: a long, long time ago, there was a beautiful princess in Europe... , As for which country does this princess belong to, whether it conforms to history, etc., no one cares at all. Therefore, the description of the tribe in the first third of "Alpha" is unnecessary, and it is better to simplify it into 5 minutes.
When it comes to the scene where the protagonist boy walks alone with the she-wolf, the director is not very confident. Let the boy keep talking with the she-wolf along the way, how ridiculous, how boring, and more childish like a children's book! The communication between people and animals is more about body language. Playing the harp to a dog is really "playing the piano to the dog", which is boring and boring.
At the end of the film, Alpha gives birth to a litter of wolves, and that's when we know she's female. It turns out that she is the female lead of the film! Going back to the previous episode of the teenager holding her naked in the snow to keep warm, I felt a little uncomfortable. If it were in "Liao Zhai", maybe Alpha would transform into a human figure and sleep with the teenager, which would be easier to accept. At the end of the video, I was wondering in my heart that's it! ? Well, anyway, I've been dozing off all day, and I'm still yawning when I walk out of the theater.
I checked the director, Albert Hughes. He doesn't have many works. He has co-directed several films with his twin brother Allen in the early stage, including Johnny Depp's British Gothic "From Hell"; "The Book of Elie" starring Denzel Washington, full of doomsday complex. "Alpha" is his first solo work, and his brother Allen started filming a TV series after his solo flight, and the two brothers are going to develop in different directions.
