"The Creed" is 150 minutes long. I have enough time and leisure to observe the reactions of the surrounding audience:
Almost all of them were expressionless, deeply anesthetized, and a pair of Nolan, what you say is what you want-do you want ♂ upper position or ♀ upper position, whatever... come on. faster. It's over.
Why is there such a situation in Nolan's works? Why is this kind of reaction in Nolan's movie a dangerous sign?
I was deeply impressed by the theater audience being incited to tears by "Interstellar". Naturally, watching "Inception with your breath" or sleeping in "Dunkirk" are all the many reactions Nolan brought to the audience.
In this "Creed", Nolan's message is undoubtedly terrible and negative. Take the climax montage at the end of the movie as an example. One side is the offensive and defensive battle of Russia's 404 nuclear city, and the other is a vacation yacht offshore Vietnam. Both sides are trying to "fate by a thread" and have a relationship with "world destruction". What is helpless is that the scenes on both sides do not have any sense of tension and oppression. No matter how frequent the cutting, the intensive intensity, and the high, I can't establish a good relationship with the characters. A trace of empathy.
The reason couldn't be simpler. In "Creed", what it will be like when the human world is destroyed? I saw that the business of talking and talking around the world is not even as intuitive as Thanos' snapping fingers. Although speaking of it, the exaggerated tactics of comics that disappear into the dust are a bit of a trifling matter. Well, they are also like the destruction of the world. The female protagonist’s domestic violence and calf protection are even more deadly disasters than soap operas. They are completely inexplicable plot settings that are straight to the audience. How the heroine loves her son, and how cruel and unruly the violent plutonium man is. The information given by the "Creed" is full of details from the back, or a belt. In those flashing memory flashback fragments, we can easily recall that in the era of "Inception", Xiao Li's miss for his beloved wife is also this kind of sudden feeling of train passing. The problem is that Inception Space has an ever-increasing emotional experience, gains and losses, gains and losses, gains and losses, mixed together. Saving one's wife, lover, and first-love girlfriend, no matter whether a boring audience has ever experienced it, it can be brought into the imagination. It is human nature and a literary classic for thousands of years. It has been like the popularity of the last century. Songs, like today's smartphones, are embedded in your daily life and brain memory.
But the wife who saves others is different . That means that the two of you have to have some special and different stories, and this point, this line, can pull the nerves of the audience, otherwise, you simply have to save Hillary, and the audience will also enjoy it. Be happier. Obviously, in this matter, "Creed" was very rigid and boring, and when it was serious, it made some blunt jokes of green hat slaves. When it's funny, there will be another suspenseful war of wits and courage among the agents who are about to collapse in 007 days. Hei brother is attracted to the female protagonist, why is it difficult for the female protagonist to get rid of the shackles of the family and is not easy to let go. This kind of vague language can naturally be handled as a high-level or treated as a high-level blank, but this thing is to support The protagonist is going forward, and you can’t use the audience’s thinking about the story after watching the movie. Moreover, even if it’s true, I can’t recall it. The movie fills the skeleton with flesh and blood and details, and there is no emotion between them. spark. This kind of unreliability will be like a fallen domino, causing a distorted dream to collapse quickly.
Aside from the formula explanations in Zhihu formulas or physics textbooks, isn't the movie about two things like a group of people who want to save the world, and a man who wants to save a woman. Adding the two things together, it still couldn't be more simple-something that has been rubbed hundreds of times in the field of film, but Nolan is not a fortress, and it is a mystery. Someone will definitely say, why do you have high standards and high demands when you come to "Creed"-I want to ask the question, isn't it just directors like Nolan Quentin who deserve our harsh and severe faults?
It was the red and blue war at the end. What are the movie characters playing? Is it the NPC soldier in the third dream of Inception? Back then, I was already impressed by how bad Nolan filmed the action scenes-I was talking about "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" gang gangsters fighting and fighting.
But for some reason, Nolan seemed to know that he was in a position to grasp the winning ticket in the "Creed". I read it in the correct order and repeated it in the reverse order. The result of this was not to help me clarify the logic of the story, but to pass Reverse playback confirmed that the action scenes Nolan filmed were really bad. Don't try to escape the eyes of a group of Chinese fans who grew up watching the gunfights of Hong Kong movies. Nolan's action scenes, whether chasing cars, fighting in the corridors, or the final battle, are really sloppy. Objectively speaking, "Creed" is also well shot, but not much. Like the opera house at the beginning, the enemy is indistinguishable, black and white are indistinguishable. The Opera House has a large panoramic view, and there are also small boxes, inside and outside, with cooperation. However, in most other places, the movie is just a picture of a tiger with "mood feelings" (note: Hokkien vocabulary, refers to the tiger's tinny).
In my opinion, the collapse of "Creed" did not appear in the tenet setting of positive and negative cycles, nor was it the awe-inspiring and just saving the world, but it was a fake and empty, but Nolan's obsessive-compulsive disorder, obsessed with the concept of time, and watched , Mobilize the world time and space, have no solution to the last-second rescue. Because the more accurate to the second, every second counts, and the opportunity is indispensable. As a result, the audience has lost the basis of emotional resonance with the characters, and time will become dispensable-everyone has fallen into a narcotic coma. By the way, some people understand this kind of brain short-circuit fragmentation as a brain-burning high IQ who can't understand the movie. In my opinion, this is the biggest misunderstanding of Nolan's movies. Just imagine, if Nolan is really a physicist, then he is more suitable to go to BBC to make a science education documentary. Therefore, it took too much time and too complicated a long story to tell too little and too simple a cliché story entitled "Salvation". This is the "Creed". As for those settings, the term TENET is nothing more than a set, a set of people.
Or more popular, "Creed" to Nolan is equivalent to "Gemini Killer" to Ang Lee. Of course he can play and try, but as an audience, there is no need to fight for Stockholm syndrome because of the clichés that movies are used to feel. Good movies may become scarce, but there is no need to spend all on Nolan's bullet.
