in 2004, 2009, and 2014. The same dish, it is estimated that Luc Besson is also a little tired of eating.
Originally, I walked into the theater with great enthusiasm and [expectation] (☆▽☆), but I was thrown a footbath on my head.
The background structure of the story has not changed much. The action arrangement and editing of parkour are much more ugly than the 04 version. There is no detail in the picture. The plot itself is a little pale (but I still love the 04 version!), and 10 years later, it is full of loopholes.
The following may involve spoilers. For those who haven't seen the 04 version, you can go to the cinema. For those who have seen the old version, it is recommended to wait a while, and then watch it online at home _(:з"∠)_ . . .
Although the 04 version is slightly pale in terms of plot and will have small loopholes, it is not a masterpiece of action movies.
Among them, the character setting is more distinct than the 14 version.
The first is the male lead No. 1, the parkour male. David's background is not small. It is said that he is one of the founders of street parkour. When I watched the 04 version, I was still in middle school. I was completely attracted by parkour. Boiling, very suitable for a character who grew up in the abandoned 13th district in the wall, can only protect himself, but always has a positive attitude.
And the male lead No. 2, the undercover male. Cyril in the 04 edition, some say he was a world martial arts champion. I don't know if it's true, but in the movie, he is agile, skillful in fighting scenes, and very watchable. When Cyril comes on stage, it's the small details that underscore that he's an upright, compassionate, honest, overly decent-minded man. For example, the gangster brother who worked with him when he was undercover would be heartbroken when he was killed. Even if the gang leader was arrested, he would ask him after the ceiling collapsed, how are you? Although the undercover costume is a bit funny, I like it very much. I thought he was an ugly guy, and his interest was low. Also, there is no vilification of the Chinese people, hahaha, I really don't like speeding car battles, it's not novel enough, and I'm tired of watching too much. And to vent his anger by shooting the gang boss's broken car with a machine gun, he found it humorous and interesting. It is worth mentioning that Cyril and David's muscles are more credible for the plot and character settings.
Although Paul Walker in the 14th edition can see that he should also step up his fitness, but compared with Cyril Raffaelli, he is too thin. Maybe due to the height factor, when acting with David, it seems that there is no harmony from Cyril, and he fights. The scene makes people have a sense of sight that the site is too high, and a kind of silly big rush =. = (Purely personal feelings, don't spray if you don't like it) In terms of appearance, it is undeniable that Paul Walker is definitely an orthodox handsome guy. The "Fast and Furious" series is still very fascinating, but Cyril Raffaelli, who is authentic French, is even more impressive my heart.
The plot of the 14th version of the protagonist looking for the enemy to kill his father is really powerless to complain. It's too old-fashioned, but has no integrity. The 04th version, which is highly obedient to the organization, is cleverly set. The grandfather's warm drama is estimated to adjust the rhythm and avoid watching too much. Tired, but I personally feel that it slows down the rhythm of the plot, which is a bit cumbersome and out of touch.
Taha in the 04 version of the villain
is thin (in line with drug addiction) and wrinkled. He must have experienced a lot of right and wrong. He is vicious, scheming, extremely selfish, and will not let anyone go. Kill, if you want to play, you can play with you, including letting the parkour boy's sister take drugs and keep it as a dog.
The so-called villain of the 14th edition is a "chef" who is always inseparable from his stovetop chopping board, and the details will be re-evaluated later.
I have to mention that, K-2, this is my favorite character, funny, clever, cherishing life, a little cruel but not crazy. I like the way the 04 version of k-2 is introduced, the back of the head is shaved with a K-2, the characters are vivid on the paper, and even have a little humor, which is very eye-catching, but the 14 version is completely obedient to the chef of New Oriental.
The big strong man also has to be mentioned. It is estimated that Paul Walker is too tall. In the 04 version, the Mongolian big man who is a few yards bigger than the two male protagonists has no sense of iron wall at all. He is completely a brainless and easy to defeat. Mentally handicapped men, no deterrence, resulting in obscure and uninteresting fight scenes. After escaping from prison, Cyril was handcuffed to the steering wheel. In the 14th edition, the owner of the car who was hit by the car had a big golden tooth, covered with gods and body protection, and appeared harmless to humans and animals. =. =
Let's talk about the setting of the heroine.
The 14th version is the former lover, and the 04th version is the sister. Don't work so hard for your ex-lover, let's not let your ex-girlfriend find a husband in the future! ! The key is that Fatty (K2) actually ran to catch his ex-girlfriend, and the boss acquiesced. This is obviously not an ex, this is an inseparable friend?
On the other hand, I like my sister's little beast character more, powerless but stubborn. Instead, it highlights the strength of the villain and her unyielding defeat from her perspective. The ex is different. He is brave and good at fighting, and there are many fighting scenes. He also helped the chef kill the black maid (so powerful, he can save himself~), and he is confident that ex will come to save him. It seems that the heroine dumped him back then. The male protagonist can be so confident.
I really doubt that the heroine is a special addition. In the old film, my sister is hardly a heroine. It is a movie full of male hormones. It is very pleasant to watch. This time, a black woman with big breasts is added. The maid and the heroine are playing together, which makes people really uninterested, especially the heroine who was trapped by the bomb in the end. She looked so bored, she was not afraid at all, and even looked a little upset, just like she had a princess disease. , and such a person works as a waiter in a restaurant. . .
The 04 version will give more time to the small characters and use the narration and small characters to improve the plot, while the 14 version will give more time to the two male protagonists, mixing small humor into the plot, not from the characterization. It comes out naturally.
The tone of the 04 version of the film is darker, and the whole film is covered with earth tones. The male protagonist's prison uniform, the villain's lair, and the official's office. The oppression of the tone is very consistent with the pace of the plot and scenes. The 14th version is completely Hollywood-style tones, with high color saturation, and there is a kind of rush to watch a popcorn show in a trance =. =
In version 04, for example, the undercover male protagonist who received the task for the first time, in this clip, the hierarchical relationship between the main light and the outline light, the visual level of the characters is more distinct, officials, military commanders, male protagonists, different identities give The light is completely different. The position of the male protagonist 2 entering the office and the position of giving the light and the decision to join the mission after listening to the position and the giving of the light are also changing according to the plot. Before, I thought that the director was a little too obsessed with the texture and composition of the picture, and then I learned that Pierre Morel was Luc Besson's royal photographer and a very good artist. The graffiti on the walls of the 13th block, and the bullet holes that complement the characteristics of the block, all come from his masterpiece (speaking of this, I really want to complain about the exquisite kitchen of the chef boss... tsk tsk tsk~ Every time there is a kind of crossing to another The feeling of a story, can't bear to look directly). From this, the obsession with composition and picture can be understood. The constant detail composition is very symbolic. By the way, the tone of the male protagonist 2 when talking to the official, the tone of his own treatment of his superior, and the tone of the superior to persuade him to execute, the affiliation of the three is clear at a glance, this director is a Virgo. . . The understanding of the characters is also a foreshadowing. For example, officials describe the details of the theft of the transporter, and there will be a dialogue between the transport driver and the child who dropped the bomb, instead of silent details, leaving more room for the audience to infer and think, instead of Hollywood's habitual method: let you see what you are You can only see what, let you know what you can only know.
In terms of dialogue, the 14th version is too standard, always just right, but it is difficult to highlight the characters, such as funny K-2, such as the undercover male protagonist of chatting, such as the wild road parkour male, humorous in the tense rhythm , according to the character's natural expression, not contrived.
In terms of plot handling, list a few clips, for example, the tension of drug destruction, the language of the camera and the setting of props. Compared with the 04 version, the rhythm is controlled. For example, K-2 creates a wrong house and grabs it directly The long-haired man's hair was dragged to let him guide the way, adding a small point to "find" to make the process plump. Before David pushed out the door, a K-2 looked in from the cat's eye, with a little humor that was just right in the tense rhythm, and the male protagonist's action skills were highlighted when chasing. Not addicting. . On the contrary, the 04 version without special effects, the contrast of layers is prominent. First, a batch of soft-footed shrimps and the male protagonist's skills are compared, and then a group of powerful people and the male protagonist are encountered. In an instant, the male protagonist's action skills become taller. . In addition, when I especially want to spray and chase, the 14th version of the couple in bed with soy sauce, when they take out the electric baton, this kind of comedy humor is too overwhelmed and completely unrealistic. The small humor of the old film is completely attached to the character. Most of it is reflected in the dialogue and action, and the 14th version feels like it is caught in the plot in order. It is true that the audience laughed and was very happy in the theater, but it felt a little stiff and slowed down the rhythm of the plot. This clip highlights male characters. The Lord's will was violated.
In the 04 version, after the failure of the pursuit, when k-2 reported to the boss for the first time, the boss was clean and neat and the rhythm was very tight. Although there were many dialogues, he didn't feel cumbersome, which reflected the character of the boss. In the 14th version, the chef is basically intimidated. I thought I would chop off my hands, chop off my head, or put it in a pot to scald it directly, but there was no result. In the end, I used a gun to fiddle with it, so sad _(:з)∠)_
When catching the male protagonist EX, the supermarket was replaced by a restaurant, and then it was the old scene of "catch me, catch me", while the 04 version directly grabbed the clothes in the supermarket and dragged it away, the humor of the dialogue and the waiting Customers who pay, let K-2, the fat man, stand out.
After being caught, on the way to the chef, when I met the lecherous little brothers, I felt a little speechless when the apron was pulled. On the contrary, the plot of the old film was much fuller, and it also paved the way for my sister to let the cheap man eat panties in the future (this scene is actually gone. , unhappy TAT), it makes you feel that the breakout of the sister and brother is very refreshing, and it also pushes the helplessness and laissez-faire of the government and the police to the climax of Taha (the villain). The more excited you are, the more disappointed you will be. The rhythm and the mood of the audience are completely controlled.
By the way, the site issue, whether it is a prison cell or a police station, or the large and ruined feel of the 13th district, the old film is much better, if it is to use a small space to highlight the feeling of cramped, it feels very uncomfortable. The villain's site is very large. The garage, arsenal, laboratory, dormitory, Taha's strength and power are instantly clear at a glance, which highlights the challenge of the hero's courage. The new film has money to buy a car, but no money to rent a venue. As a successful chef, The site is too small for Nima, and the huge transport truck is even more pitiful.
There is also a small detail, the iron nail barricade. I was very impressed when I watched the 04 edition. I personally think it is one of the indispensable elements of the plot. It reflects the tension between the inside and outside of the 13th District, the government and the "trickster" tension. However, the male protagonists continue to walk on this relationship, which is very symbolic. As a result, the 14th edition is gone. . . There are many details of TAT
that are very speechless, such as David pretending to be sick and convulsing, too stupid. . Emma. . For example, in the end, the chef of New Oriental turned over and turned out to be a kind person. . tsk tsk tsk. . He can kill his subordinates with a single shot, but he is reluctant to let the people die. . Without torturing the EX heroine, as a cook who grew up in District 13, it is true that only when his brother dies can he be a good businessman.
Finally, in the battle of passwords, the 04 version is more compact than the 14 version. The editing of the 14 version is too fine, and the action feels very slow. Legend has it that more than 90% of the shots in the 04 version are original shots, the director's skill and attitude. . I guess it's really a Virgo. . .
Of course, the 04 version is also flawed. The characters mentioned above are too simple (but I like it, and my appetite) and the plot is too pale (fighting scenes and parkour are very enjoyable.. I completely ignored them), such as the plot The loophole, after the sister became a hostage, the bomb has been activated, and it took up to 24 hours. When David was released from prison, it felt like he was in prison for at least a month or two, and is the sister drug addiction too fast? However, I still love the 04 version very much, otherwise I wouldn't look at the ratings or reviews at all, I would walk into the cinema without hesitation, and I would regret it. .
In the end, I want to say that the car with "implanted advertisements" grabbed too much drama and entered the drama too deeply. Please die.
