Blackhat returns from watching movies

Since knowing that Leehom Tang has joined Blackhat, he has been silently paying attention to the development of this film. After confirming that it will be released in January, I feel not optimistic, because January is generally the month when major film companies clean up their inventory. The quality of the films released is often mediocre and there is not much publicity in Blackhat. The discussion about this film basically revolves around Brother Hammer, who has just been elected as the sexiest man in People’s 2014. The North American netizen’s slot is "Is there a hacker as tall and handsome as Brother Hammer in the world". Later, Sony came unexpectedly. The hacking incident virtually helped Blackhat's attention. The crew finally held a press conference, and the network security engineers who had a sneak peek affirmed the real hacking technology in the film, which made people expect doubled, but within 48 hours before and after the film was released The film reviews of major media and websites are pouring cold water: less likes and more pops.


In any case, this film must be watched in theaters. This week coincides with the Martin Luther King Day long weekend. Most of the audience was sucked away by Eastwood’s American Sniper. Half of the audience came in the Blackhat auditorium. My The engineer’s husband was originally uninterested, and was purely brought by me to accompany him. He didn’t expect that he was attracted at the beginning of the story. He watched the end as quietly and intently as I was at the end, and the audience in the half-time was like this. The atmosphere of watching the movie was very serious and didn’t hear. Any disappointment, complaint, snicker, and distraction are only natural reactions when the plot changes suddenly. After watching it, my husband and I felt: better than expected! Why the score is not high, everyone understands it differently, it may be a detective action film related to technology, the subject matter is cutting-edge, and the lack of innovation and breakthrough is equal to failure.


If you don't demand ideas and concepts, and simply appreciate the established story, it's actually not bad. The microscopic process of virus code invasion at the beginning is a bright spot. The plot advances step by step, the rhythm is fast and smooth, the color tone is simple and tough, the scene is grounded in the market, and the scenes of street fighting, gunfights, chases, and explosions are very immersive and immersive. It is intense and intense, without overly indulging in it, but with proper restraint. Even the soundtrack is minimalist, and the experience and style of the old director can be seen from the grasp of various details.


Don't want to spoil the details, Hammer's performance is quite satisfactory, Leehom shows the charm of a smart and upright oriental guy, and the black actress Viola Davis has a good line. Let’s focus on Tang Wei. She plays Leehom’s sister and computer engineer Lien. She plays a very heavy role and an absolute protagonist. She is rare in European and American films. Among a group of English-speaking actors (including ABC Wang Leehom), Tang Wei’s lines are not There is a clear sense of contradiction, although some pronunciation is vague, but she expresses it naturally and confidently. The film critics have different tolerances, and they have different evaluations of her English. There are affirmatives and dissatisfactions. However, even the accent of Hammer is also picky. Even if Tang Wei's English is not perfect, it is at least reassuring. It does not block, entangle, or interfere, and understands it without hindrance. Unlike some actors who speak English, goose bumps are scary.


Lien is not a novel character. None of the characters in this movie have novelty. I fell in love with Brother Hammer not long after the film started. It was too abrupt and I didn’t like it. But I finally realized that the rhythm of the story is like this. I quickly switch battlefields. I don’t have time. Pave the way for love. Lien's involvement in the investigation in the first half was a bit blunt and far-fetched, and it was also criticized in this film, but the focus of the second half was completely shifted to her and Brother Hammer, showing the expansion of the space. Tang Wei made all kinds of grievances and grievances, severe grief, nervous escape, sad crying, and anger. The emotions are all very well played, and when I am sad, I feel my heart is awkward. Such a role, even if it has no depth, is more meaningful than those vases in 007 and Transformers.


Tang Wei's temperament is very suitable for Lien, moving naturally between the freshness full of personality and the graceful charm, combining the boyish quickness and decisiveness and cool dynamics, synthesizing a unique charm. Tang Wei is one of the best-looking actresses in casual clothes. She is tall and well-proportioned, with a thin waist and long legs. Whether it is a short skirt or the simplest white shirt, vest, and slacks in the film, she is pleasing to the eye on Tang Wei, of course she is tight. Sexy professional wear is also amazing.

At present, the film’s reputation in the North American box office is not satisfactory, and it is also related to the audience’s appetite and position for a large number of Asian elements. Borrowing MiamiNewTimes’ comment: In fact, Blackhat is so engaging in lots of little ways that it's a shame the movie doesn' t add up to more. Tang and especially Wang — both of whom appeared in Ang Lee's Lust, Caution — may not have as much to do as they should, but Mann presents them as possible movie stars of the future, sexy and appealing actors worthy of our attention. (How many Asian men, especially, get to be sexy in American movies? Chow Yun-fat was one of the most sensual actors of the 1990s Hong Kong movie boom, but Hollywood never figured out what to do with him. ) ---- In fact, many of the small details of Blackhat are fascinating. Unfortunately, there is no further level. The soup that Zeng Shuangshuang appeared in Lust Caution, especially Wang, may not be as good as possible, but under Man's display They are likely to be stars in the future, sexy and attractive actors who deserve our attention. (How many Asian men can be sexy in American movies? Chow Yun-fat was the most emotional actor during the Hong Kong film boom in the 1990s, but Hollywood has never figured out how to use him.)

From the meaning of supporting the Chinese to take the lead on the world stage Speaking, Blackhat deserves to be applauded, and I hope it will have a better performance in Asia.

    The whole show shows the stage where Tang Wei is crying and shows better acting skills. Others feel that there is basically no highlight, too many extra shots, not clean and neat at all, and the soundtrack is too exaggerated. I personally think this is a movie that shows more than acting, ps; I was looking at the male goddess. The buddy next to me left ten minutes before the opening.
