"The Mummy" is adapted from an old film of the same name in 1932, written and directed by Stephen Sommers, and released in the United States on May 7, 1999. Although it is a remake, it is based on the old film. The bold innovations and adaptations, which received rave reviews after being released, quickly swept the world and saved Universal Pictures, which was in danger at that time.
The film has also won many awards, not only being nominated for the Oscars, but also winning the Oscars for Best Audiovisual, and it also shined at the Saturn Awards that year.
The film is humorous and relaxed, and it is still an irreplaceable classic in the hearts of movie fans. The film implements Hollywood’s consistent heroic film style: rescue beauties, defeat monsters, and save the world. It can still be fascinating under this clichéd plot, especially the love of the hero and heroine, which satisfies all people’s illusions about perfect love.
——You chase your dreams, I will guard you.
(1) Eve's dream
Eve is a librarian at the Cairo Museum in Egypt. Her biggest dream is to become an archaeologist like her parents. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the film, because of her own reckless behavior, she overturned the bookshelf, which caused a domino effect-the entire library's bookshelves all fell down.
After being scolded by the curator, Eve followed the movement to the back storage room. As a result, her brother Jonathan, who was responsible for the whole laughter, sat up from the coffin and handed her a peculiar small box.
Eve opened the small box with excitement, and there was a map in it, pointing to the city of the undead-Hamnart.
Here is a very warm scene:
Eve lowered his head and said, "Cambridge rejected my application again, saying that I don't have enough experience in archeology." Jonathan pressed her forehead to her: "It's okay, little girl, and me." Seeing knowingly smiled.
Here we can see:
1. The siblings of Eve and Jonathan are very close.
2. Both brothers and sisters are very simple people, immature in their thinking.
3. Eve is eager to take a real archeological journey.
4. Both brothers and sisters are optimistic.
Unfortunately, a piece of their map was burned by the curator, and the location of the destination was gone. In desperation, Jonathan had to take Eve to find the owner of the box, O'Connor.
(2) O'Connor the Guardian
Jonathan leads Eve to O'Connor, who is in prison. Eve wittyly negotiated with the warden, and finally saved O'Connor from the gallows. O'Connor's unbelievable expression on the ground at the end is in stark contrast with Eve's proud situation:
1. O'Connor didn't have much hope for Eve at the beginning.
With a few words, he tempted Eve to approach him and successfully kissed Eve, and at the same time it touched her young girl's heart.
"If you want to go to Hamnart, save me."
How much confidence can he have in Eve? Rather, he was testing Eve's determination.
Almost all of his comrades at the time were ruined in the ruins of Hamnart, and he wanted to try to see if the little girl was a greedy treasure hunter or just a play game on a whim.
2. O'Connor is even more desperate.
He can come back from the vast desert alone, and his desire to survive is very strong, and he is absolutely unwilling to die in prison so unclearly. He must seize this opportunity, even if the possibility is zero.
3. After Barney's betrayal, O'Connor chose his teammates more carefully.
At the beginning of the film, O'Connor, who was still a soldier at the time, and his comrades led the enemy in the ruins of Hamnart. Before the gunshots sounded, O'Connor's superior ran away. O'Connor asked the class next to him. Ni: "You can't run, can you?"
"No." After saying this, Benny dropped his gun and hurriedly fled behind him.
The enemy was violent, and O'Connor could only escape if he lost. In his desperation, he reminded Benny to hide in the grave. As a result, Benny closed the door selfishly, and he could only face the enemy's muzzle alone.
We don't know how he came over the past three years, but the betrayal of a friend must have made O'Connor discouraged until Eve's appearance saved him.
At first he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect this cute little woman to actually save him. For Eve’s life-saving grace, he made up his mind to protect her, not only to take her where she wanted to go, It is his responsibility and mission to bring her back safely.
Love, at this time, has quietly planted seeds in his heart.
(3) Love is sprouting
In the evening, the two talked on the boat, Eve told him excitedly why she yearned for Hamnart, and then she asked O'Connor a question shyly: "Why did you kiss me at that time?"
O'Connor, who was fiddling with weapons, replied casually: "Anyway, I was dying at that time. Find something to do."
Eve walked away angrily, scorning O'Connor who was ashamed: "Did I say something wrong?"
The alert O'Connor spotted his former comrade-in-arms Benny, and Benny asked him: "You never believed in Hamnart, why are you going back?"
"Have you seen that lady? She saved me." Looking at Eve in front of the stable, O'Connor's eyes softened, and the seed of love had quietly sprouted new buds in his heart. Even though he could have 10,000 reasons not to go to Hamnart, he would also find a reason to stay for Eve.
Eve is certainly beautiful. When she appeared in Egyptian costume, covered in a veil, with autumn water in her eyes, and smiled, O'Connor’s heart fell in an instant. Beauty can attract men’s attention, but it can make men more attractive. What was left was the essence of this woman. Eve's essence was innocence and kindness. This was what moved him most.
On Hamnart’s night, Eve’s drunken expression on her face, every detail touches O’Connor’s heart. This lovely little woman , like an angel, slowly injects a stream of clear spring into it. In his heart, even if he walked through thousands of mountains and rivers and saw all kinds of customs, it was no better than the heartbeat when he saw her.
(4) When the curse is fulfilled.
1. Eve accidentally released BOSS Emerton, which brought disaster. O'Connor wants to take her away, but Eve willfully decides to stay. Eve relies on her own feelings and never considers the consequences. On the one hand, it is due to her nature. Eve is optimistic, brave, and has She was full of passion; on the other hand, she trusted O'Connor's protection, and unconsciously, she had already regarded O'Connor as her strong backing.
"The rivers of Egypt are red, like blood..."
The wine in the bar turned into the smell of blood, and O'Connor realized that there was nowhere to escape, and he was also terrified, otherwise he would not argue with Eve at first. But after realizing the danger, he was a soldier who had already put these things aside. He wanted to quickly retrieve his little angel, and couldn't let her take risks rashly alone.
Especially when the Pharaoh's guard said that the BOSS had chosen Eve as the sacrifice to resurrect his lover, O'Connor's mood was mixed:
1. He knew that Eve would never give up the idea of saving the curse.
2. He knew that Eve would never escape.
3. He is afraid that monsters will follow them to the ends of the world.
4. He never wants to see Eve become a sacrifice himself.
So, what can he do? Of course, I followed Eve's meaning. All I had to do was to protect her and fill her loopholes.
So O'Connor embarked on a non-stop journey of "filling the pit".
(5) Guardian
BOSS Emerton is completely resurrected, and for everyone's safety, Eve voluntarily follows him. "If I am turned into a mummy by him, I will be the first to come back to find you." Eve said to O'Connor when he was leaving. O'Connor gave her a surprised look.
Eve's words have three meanings to O'Connor:
1. He will kill me.
2. I know I will die, but I still want to go.
3. I believe you will come to save me.
It can be seen that before this, O'Connor's confidence in himself was not enough.
In the face of the three-thousand-year-old mummy, he was not sure at all. Even if Eve found the position of the golden scripture, he was not sure that he would be able to take her to find the golden scripture and kill Imodun. But the bravery and determination of this little woman, Eve, is beyond his imagination. Eve can do it. What can't he do? Didn't he swore to protect her?
The escaped beauty rescue team found the retired pilot Winston, and with the help of Winston, they rushed to Hamnart by plane.
This scene is the most classic shot of the film:
Immortal used his mana, the earth split, and countless sands rose from the ground to form a huge curtain, sweeping the entire sky. In the sandstorm, a huge human face appeared, opening his mouth wide to devour their plane. In desperation, Eve kissed Imerton's mouth, the sandstorm retreated, the plane shook a few times, and finally fell on the desert. Winston was buried in the quicksand with the plane, which was also the most satisfactory method of death for this World War I veteran-to die on the battlefield.
The three immortal Xiaoqiang finally reached Hamnart safely.
(6) Salvation
They entered the tomb, and the dazzling treasures of the tomb shocked O'Connor, Jonathan and the captain of the guard.
O'Connor was not confused by the treasures. He was full of thoughts about saving his Eve. His heart was unwavering . Eve was his treasure, and these treasures were just things outside of his body.
They successfully found the Sun's Golden Sutra, and Jonathan was drilled into the body by the scarab. O'Connor picked the bug out with a knife and shot the extremely fast bug. The gunfire alarmed Immortal below. He awakened the buried monks, and soon a mummified squad rushed towards the three of them.
After the captain of the guard carried a gun to cut them off, O'Connor and Jonathan rushed to the altar with the golden scriptures.
Eve has been chained to the altar, and Ansuna’s mummy is next to her. When Immorton raised his golden sword to stab Eve to death, O'Connor and Jonathan arrived in time.
Immortal was led away by Jonathan, the brave O'Connor jumped out and cut Eve's chains, and soon he was besieged by the remaining mummies.
The God of Luck was always on the protagonist's side. Jonathan found the spell, controlled the guard mummy to kill Ansuna, and successfully stole the key from Immortal's robe.
"Hold him." Eve shouted to O'Connor. "No...problem." O'Connor squeezed out these words desperately.
As the most resistant O'Connor, at this time he was at the point of being slammed by Imerton. Fortunately, I have a high physical fitness, and I found Eve to find the spell.
This scene full of comedy effects also made people cry:
1. O'Connor is ready to abandon himself to buy time for Eve.
2. BOSS Immortal lost his mind because of Ansuna's death.
3. Eve is actually more anxious than anyone else, and has to maintain patience to find a suitable spell.
4. O'Connor believes in Eve's ability very much, she will find the spell in time.
Sure enough, Eve found the spell, "Dust return to dust, dirt return to soil, what should go, should not stay." Immortal's mana was taken away, O'Connor successfully eliminated him and reversed the situation.
At this time, the greedy Benny carrying the treasure touched the self-destructing device of the tomb, and the entire tomb was about to collapse. O'Connor protected Eve and quickly escaped from the mausoleum.
There is a detail. O'Connor was at the end when he escaped. He had to do his best to let Eve go first, and finally himself, especially in the end he planned to save Benny, although he did not succeed.
Outside of Hamnart, O'Connor finally hugged Eve and successfully embraced the beauty. Behind the camel he and Eve rode on, there was a golden treasure exposed.
The final ending is happy for everyone.
Immortal and Ansuna’s unsuccessful love is certainly sighing, but O'Connor and Eve’s love is most in line with expectations and fantasy. We have always pursued the best look in love, isn't this the best look? There is a person who loves you and knows you love you, and he silently gives everything for you behind his back, so that you can chase your dreams unscrupulously.
Of course, Eve is not totally willful, she also loves O'Connor, believes in him, and is willing to surrender herself to him. This kind of mutual trust and mutual dependence is what every couple yearns for.
At the same time, O'Connor and Eve have similarities: they are both kind, brave, strong, and they both love adventure. Because these similarities have strengthened their connection with each other. They are complementary: Eve's innocence fills O'Connor's heart, making him believe that the world is really beautiful; O'Connor's reason allows Eve to make fewer rash mistakes.
Therefore, here is the inspiration for every couple, including husband and wife:
Why are you together?
Where do you want to go together?
How much are you willing to pay for each other?
The maintenance and development of feelings is never unilateral, let alone restraint and tolerance. What is needed is tolerance and mutual improvement, common progress, and common hobbies to help each other to make up for the shortcomings.
When every couple is together, love is the prerequisite, but in the end they go further and further, because we forget that love is actually an eternal book. When we see the beginning, we don’t have the patience to carefully figure out the details in it. , Some people even just browsed through a few clips at their fingertips, resulting in a different ending.
In real life, getting married and having children means that many people have lost the right to choose their future. In fact, this is not the case for every couple. A happy marriage is always inseparable from the support of the other half. There are also many people who have climbed to new heights in their careers after marriage, because they all understand one truth: love is protection and support.
Don't be afraid to give, let alone be afraid that she will leave you after you give. As long as you truly consider each other, you will have an eternal and beautiful ending.
