"Shark Escape from the Great Tsunami" has given mainland audiences a thrill they haven't seen for many years, that is, the type of biological disaster thriller. "Into Science", the horrors introduced are generally borderline balls such as vampires and exorcism. However, biological disaster horrors such as "Jaws", "Thriller" and "The Disaster of the Python" have always been blank, plus the quality of the film itself. It's pretty good, the horror point is very well designed, the 3D effect and the shark lens are absolutely worth the price, no wonder the response is so strong.

The European and American genre films led by Hollywood have formed a fixed pattern. Director Kim Polandao is familiar with this pattern in "The Great Tsunami". Therefore, tsunami-enclosed space-shark, three elements of horror are created. It is very in place, and the maturity of this type of film is also reflected in the in-place grasp of the emotions of people in the fear space.

[Clash of Good and Evil: Police, Female Thieves, Robbers, and Ordinary Good People]

The story of "The Great Tsunami" takes place in an underground supermarket after a tsunami. The ground collapsed and closed the supermarket, where robbers, police, and female thieves were originally located And the salesperson are in a complex standoff, and a bigger enemy emerges, besieging them at the top of a shelf, and they have to face an even more feared enemy: sharks.

Due to the injury of the old policeman's father, an understanding was formed between the policeman's father and the female thief's daughter. However, the two robbers were very different. One acted unruly and had no good intentions, and the other had repented conscience and became a new man, so this kind of good and evil The conflict between them is beautiful. Usually in this case, the human beings who were originally divided, opposed and hated must unite and fight against the bigger enemy, but the robber with vulgar words has no such heart at all. , he felt that being alive is to eat the weak again and again, so he finally wanted to kill an innocent female cashier as a "bait" for sharks. And the human conflict in the horror atmosphere reached its climax.

The film's handling of "evil revenge" will also be controversial. A man who committed a crime for his younger brother and then lost his way back. Behind him is the moral advantage formed by positive characters such as the police and salesperson. The villain who sees through good and evil but has no moral concept stands in the film's moral concept and the audience's emotions. Opposite, but the biggest villain's unusual bohemian and sense of humor also makes this character three-dimensional and realistic. Should he be pierced through his chest and fed to sharks? This kind of treatment in the extreme horror situation creates a climax of human conflict, which will also spark debate among the audience.


[Qi Yuwu, a Chinese in a love triangle, willingly sacrificed himself to become a rival in love]
Qi Yuwu is the most-appeared Chinese character in the film. He fell in love with Shani Vincent, the curvaceous and sexy heroine in the film, but his love is more of a single He knows that the heroine likes the hero, and he exists to give the heroine the courage to live, to live and find the true love of the past, and when this group in the closed space is facing extinction, he Resolutely stood up and told the truth to the male protagonist who had been deeply misunderstood: she has been looking for you. Then he put on an iron cage and jumped into the water, competing with the shark for time, and finally escaped from the shark's mouth, but died of suffocation underwater.

The image of Chinese actors in Western movies has always been very interesting. Most of them appear as villains or weak people. The appearance of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li has greatly changed this situation, but without these big stars, other supporting roles in Hollywood Chinese actors have always had a bad image, and because it was a co-production, Qi Yuwu's image was still unfamiliar and lonely, but he fully demonstrated the human strength and fearless spirit of the Chinese people who dared to sacrifice. His resolute step forward shocked everyone present. He is a Westerner, and the moment he jumped into the water is even more shocking and admirable. He finally fulfilled the girl he admired and his rival in love. This kind of open-mindedness and bravery can also be described as an improvement to the image of the Chinese on the screen.


[The blond beauty of "Love a dog better than a lover" keeps pace with the "Dog Doctrine"]
Dog is man's best friend, and in many Hollywood film and television works, the importance of this best friend even exceeds that of man himself For example, the Che Zhen girl in "The Great Tsunami" obviously loves dogs more than her boyfriend. Her boyfriend who has been cold and humorous and wants to make a car shock accidentally fell into the mouth of the shark. After the heroine screamed, after a while, she disappeared. The pet dog suddenly appeared, and the heroine immediately showed the exaggerated performance of her relatives in desperate situation. For the film, Che Zhen's boyfriend's cynicism is even a little evil, and he also bursts with cold humor from time to time. Such a character is swallowed by sharks, which enhances the horror Effect, and the high love for dogs has also gained a lot of recognition under the social background of the substantial improvement of the status of dogs. Men are not as good as dogs, which really makes countless straight men heartbroken and ruined.

Therefore, the success of "The Great Tsunami" is not only a commercial type of success, but also a good grasp of the emotions of the characters in the film's scene. The conflicts and entanglements of various human nature are vividly reflected from confrontation to unity in the face of disasters. In the triple thriller, the film achieves the inner identity of the characters' emotions.
