Since Disney's acquisition of Marvel has injected new impetus into superhero movies, FOX, which still retains the copyright of the "X-Men" series, and SONY, who does not let go of the rights of the "Spider-Man" series, are still stubbornly working with the Avengers universe. Confrontation, the former film series worked in a two-pronged way, constantly exploring the genre possibilities of "X-Men", and finally opened up a passive situation in the true sense of the "Deadpool" series.
The latter, who has been playing with the character of "Spiderman" for many years, at least the first two of Toby Maguire's orthodox "Spiderman" trilogy can be regarded as classics in the history of superhero movies, but parallel time and space. The performance of the coming "The Amazing Spider-Man" was not as good as expected. Obviously, SONY's creative ideas in superhero movies in recent years have obviously not kept pace with the times, and joined the "Spider-Man: Homecoming Season" in the Avengers Universe. It can only be said to have caught the light of Disney. Fortunately, this year, SONY finally ended its Mercury retrograde.
The "Spider-Man" series of derivative characters in the big movie "Venom" traded a relatively low budget (100 million US dollars) in the superhero movie for a global box office of 850 million. Although the film itself is lackluster, all this proves that "Spider" The "Xia" series has extraordinary commercial value.
In less than two months, another "Spider-Man" movie was released, which is different from the old-fashioned boringness of "Venom". This brand new "Spider-Man" relies on only 90 million US dollars. This year’s budget kills all Marvel and DC film and television dramas, and it is actually a cartoon! ! !
For a long time, animation movies are not SONY's strong points. After so many years, only two well-known animation series, "Hotel Spirit" and "Gourmet", have been born, but the performance of these two series is just ordinary. , And it has been unqualified in terms of reviews. However, what is unexpected is that this year SONY produced this "Spider-Man: Parallel World" with the "Caotai team", which unexpectedly brought the audience a big surprise that far surpassed those animation giants.
Blue Sky Studio, Pixar, Disney, Lighting Entertainment, it's time for you to tremble! ! !
"Spider-Man: Parallel World" brings together the directors of "The Little Prince" and "League of the Guardians", and the screenwriters of the "Dragon and Tiger Boys" series, "The Lego Movie", "Jessica Jones" and other film and television series, It can be said that the main creative lineup is extremely mixed and matched. It makes people can't believe that a team that is completely separate from each other can actually create the best animation work of the year, and even this century.
Different from previous comic-based movies, "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe" is not based on any ready-made comic story. Instead, it starts from a new start and brings together six parallel worlds of Spider-Man with an almost original story. The film has shown a very high standard in terms of drama, audiovisual, scene design, editing, concept, soundtrack, etc., and you really have never seen it before.
The story of "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe" has a hard science fiction temperament. The protagonist of the story, Miles Morales, comes from "The Ultimate Spider-Man". Ability, but relatively cowardly, he didn't know that he was about to face a huge challenge.
I lost my wife’s and child’s villain Kim because of a traffic accident and built a huge quantum collider underground in New York, trying to carry out experiments underground to send my family members from other parallel universes to my side, but such quantum collisions will cause quantum collisions. Entanglement, even creating a black hole to destroy New York, so Spider-Man Pete Parker stood up and confronted Jin Mei, but he did not expect his life to be killed and his hands. Before his death, Pete Parker hoped to witness the whole process of Miles Morales completely. The last wish to destroy the quantum collider.
Surprisingly, several experiments of the quantum collider have attracted Spider-Man from different parallel worlds. In order to return to their own world and destroy the plan of Jin Bin, they teamed up with Miles Morales Started the confrontation with the villain, and Miles Morales also continued to grow in the process, and eventually became the new Spider-Man.
From the story point of view, "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe" follows the classic Hollywood theme of youth growth. The film also spent a lot of space to portray the role of Miles Morales. His cowardice, he and The estrangement of my father, the mismatch between his inner desire and reality, and his lack of self-confidence, this is why a little-known or even incompetent little person represents every one of us watching movies.
However, this is the real core of the "Spider-Man" comic. It is not about the story of genius, nor the story of Chosen one, but about the growth experienced by every ordinary person after gaining great abilities. The story, the hero's road, begins with a single step, and each one can become a hero.
The film tells the story of a teenager's growth, but also tells a story about how the master and apprentice made each other, and also tells the story of countless oneself in a universe. The multiple levels of the play make the film more than just a visually cool animation. Movies only.
In addition to Miles Morales, the other main character in the film is the loser version of Pete Parker who traveled from another parallel universe, a middle-aged uncle who failed in marriage, failed in his career, and gave up the road of heroism, and these two The characters gradually found their own life direction in the collision with each other and achieved the bond of being a teacher and a friend. It can be said that this is a very moving story line in the film.
The most exciting and exciting thing in the film is the sympathy between the six Spider-Man. Everyone has experienced the confusion of life and the death of their loved ones. This crisis allowed them to find each other. It’s one of the most beautiful things in the world to find someone who can snuggle up to each other in this boundless universe, and the fighting side by side of these two characters also made me once again experience what is called juvenile blood after "Gintama Ending Theatrical Edition" .
I have always felt that successful commercial films do not need to create unprecedented stories. After all, in this era when the values of the world tend to be unified, no matter how you play with the drama, it is impossible for you to jump out of the limits of reality. What a successful commercial film really should focus on is The way of telling the story and the attitude of telling the story, the same youth grows up, the same justice defeats evil, you must first believe that you must have hope in your heart and use trendy narrative methods to truly let the audience experience countless similar stories. After that, you still pay for your work.
And "Spider-Man: Parallel World" can basically be said to be the master of commercial masterpieces in this respect. With so many characters, so many levels of expression, and such a compact narrative, the director and screenwriter have not missed a single detail, even the two-dimensional two-dimensional Penny Parker, Spider Pigman, and Shadow Spiderman all have their own flashes. Time, and the careful thinking in the narrative avoids the sense of repetition brought about by the background of many characters. Two hours, I really can’t find a pee point. I think, at this point, Pixar’s animation really has to study hard. Take a look at the film.
Today, when Hollywood CG animation is constantly seeking to be close to reality and as precise as possible, "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe" goes the other way, combining CG with 2D, a sense of comics and a sense of game, and the action scenes are added to the comic page-turning style. The frame-drawing effect combined with the extremely gorgeous color combination stunned people. After "Scott Against the World", I have never seen a movie that can interpret the texture of comics and games so perfectly, and the experience is even more powerful on the big screen.
I can say responsibly that the action scene design of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" is the best of all the superhero movies I have ever seen, even surpassing the super-burning climax of "Avengers 3". Getting rid of the limitations of the real world, the creators have broken through the ceiling of imagination in the animation world. The design of the animation sub-lens basically presents a lonely king posture, and the design of several animation long shots is also admirable. .
In addition to the film’s drama and audiovisual effects, the film’s soundtrack is also excellent enough. Because it is the black protagonist, the film is full of original street hip-hop songs. The whole film presents a very smart, hip-hop, and hard-core temperament. The temperament is even more unbearable under the cooperation of the editing.
Really, what nightclub to go to, just watching this movie is already high enough!
In fact, in the final analysis, "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe" is the kind of movie that makes you admire the magic of Hollywood. It appeared in a period when many people began to slander Hollywood's creative ability, and shocked the world with actual quality. For me, this is a really good movie, a good movie that is really worth my money to buy tickets, and it really allows me to finish watching a good movie with a long lack of ending subtitles and I don't want to leave.
So, are you ready for this unprecedented adventure?
