"Refining the essence of "Challenger One" and "The Truman World" but with deviations in execution"
Movies adapted from games often fall into the point of harsh comments from fans and unsympathetic audiences. This film successfully builds a novel and attractive world view, and at the same time incorporates unique props in the game world such as blood packs, attack props, etc. , to strengthen the audience's sense of engagement, the surprise is that the movie does not stop at visual effects and a lot of sugar-filled Easter eggs to pass the test, learning "Challenger No. 1" reflects life in the game world, which contains reflection on the path of life, which is a good deal. method.
Everyone in the whole town lives a regular life every day. Free Guy drinks coffee in the morning, prepares to "receive" the robbery and surrenders, and chats with his friends after get off work. The beginning of the real story begins with Free Guy accidentally jumping out of the frame. It seems to be laughing and scolding, showing off Easter eggs, but the connotation is meaningful for reflection on life. The movie brings out the life of NPCs as our daily life. It encourages us to jump out of the frame and don’t let the momentary stability limit the imagination of potential days.
The film is very ambitious, trying to explore the propositions of breaking through the system and pursuing freedom, the framework of life and the way forward, virtual and reality, etc. Most of them are only shallow, and it is difficult to compare with the concept of "Challenger One" or "The Truman World". In addition, the first half of The NPC that the plot has always advocated also has independent thinking and emotions. The breath of courageous pursuit of freedom strongly encourages us who are stagnant to take the first step bravely. After Guy wakes up, he turns him back into an NPC from another angle, wasting his growth arc. Even though the reversed romance of the ending is also touching, the character suddenly breaks the track, which does not give him freedom in a real sense, and the handling is rather sloppy.
"Ryan Reynolds has limited space to play, and the director's super-rich body movements are even better"
Since Ryan Reynolds' performance in "Deadpool" entered the public eye, he has been favored by mainstream film companies to shoot a large number of action-mixed comedy films, such as "The Bodyguard Saves the Killer", "Detective Pikachu", etc., as if every film is in the Playing the talkative Deadpool, it is true that the beginning is full of freshness. With the repeated and repeated character settings, he will inevitably get tired. In this film, he does not have much room to play. The director Tiger Wet took the place, whether it was his hands shaking greatly during the conversation, or his neurotic behavior and language, his gestures seemed to tell the audience that this character was tailor-made for him, and he wrote, directed and acted in him earlier. In the "Sunshine Rabbit Soldier", I felt his joyful side. I didn't expect that this time I resolutely put aside my burden and went out to play this "Gay-flavored" boss, and even overshadowed the protagonist's limelight.
"Disney once again builds a super world view with IP"
Following the series of Disney princesses in the animation "Invincible Destruction King: Playing on the Internet", Disney once again demonstrated the status of the first brother of the American film company. A large number of its famous IPs have all appeared. The most ridiculous thing is that when the character gets a certain magic When it comes to props, the camera suddenly cuts to the actor who used the prop in a famous series. The actor broke the fourth wall to express his heartfelt voice as an audience, and successfully received laughter from the audience. This scene is composed of different movie IP symbols. The chasing scene is also the climax of the film's unique creativity. Ironically, the movie makes jokes by laughing at IP culture, game culture and the unfinished sequels of a series of successful films, but the IP elements of this film are everywhere. The feeling of "shooting yourself in the foot".
"You and I can also get sunglasses to change lives"
The brotherhood between Guy and You is moving. You absolutely trust your best friend under any circumstances. When you chase after the climax, you suddenly realize, "The most beautiful thing in my life is today. Please keep running to prove our existence value." You never wanted to pick it up. From putting on sunglasses to actively resisting the enemy, the change will bring him a new door with actions. I hope we all have the courage to step out of our comfort zone.
