This past weekend, during the Association’s activities, the eleven arhats had just been released. This popcorn movie that I have watched N times, and when I watched it again, I lost a lot of freshness. That’s why I insisted on reading it.

Eleven Arhats, personally have always regarded him as the pinnacle of Hollywood stealing movies. There are two main reasons for saying this, one is its star lineup, and the other is its meticulous setting. Speaking of eleven arhats, people who have never watched it may think of Shaolin Temple. This is a movie that has nothing to do with Shaolin Temple. Don't be confused by this title. In fact, it is better to have another Chinese translation. The first impression of Eleven Arhats is his star, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, Don Chandle , Bernie Mack... Among them are Hollywood superstars, brothers and sisters, and golden supporting roles who have been in Hollywood blockbusters for many years. When many people commented on Eleven Arhats, it was the star who supported the film, but personally feel that the success of the film lies more in its sophisticated design.

The most attractive thing about stealing movies is the thief’s art of stealing the sky. This not only requires a large number of high-tech products to be armed, but more importantly, the design of the game. How to design a seamless plan is whether the action is possible. A prerequisite for success. As far as the design of the game is concerned, the Eleven Arhats are slightly better than the same type of "Stealing the Sky" and "Stealing the Sky Trap", and are far beyond the two boring sequels. The Eleven Arhats is a group play. When dealing with the group play, it is easy to reduce the people in the film to facial characters. As a remake of the movie, Eleven Arhats can learn from the experience of the original version. Director Soderbergh Each character’s appearance time and line design are well grasped, so that the stars have a primary and secondary distinction in the movie, forming the core of George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and other stars as the foil. In the story of, these two people are also the planners of the action. They control every link of the action. The eleven people have their own strengths. Although it is a group play, no one among the arhats is playing soy sauce and is in action. In the process, everyone contributed a bit. The one who was a little lazy was Ruben Lao Jianghu, but Ruben provided financial support for the entire operation, which can be regarded as a contribution.

As with movies of the same type, Eleven Arhats also encountered a lot of difficulties when they acted. This time is to test the resilience of the two leaders, George Clooney and Brad Pitt, how to overcome numerous resistances and ensure normal actions. Progress, the climax of the film, all the arhats were dispatched. In the action, the plot design was one after another. The people who watched were very addicted. The audience kept seeing the final with doubts. When the truth came out, they realized that it was just For a trick to cross the sea, the screenwriter must have been familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies. The classic of eleven arhats lies in its design of the "bureau", from the initial recruitment to the next planning and conspiracy, to the final stealing and exchanging of posts, the golden cicada escapes the shell, the whole story is completed in one go, and the action is really seamless. Think about the later Twelve Arhats on the star lineup more luxurious than the Eleven Arhats. On the basis of the original lineup, Catherine Zeta Jones, Vincent Casso, Bruce Willis were added, but in the end, no matter the word of mouth, the box office reached the top. Less than the level of eleven arhats.

We can regard Eleven Arhats as a textbook for commercial films. In addition to its use of star effect to attract audiences, the design of its story is the biggest attraction of the film. In addition to the exquisite setting, the comedy elements in the film are also a major attraction. The film is full of American humor. The gags of two black movie stars and the gentle jokes between George Clooney and Brad Pitt add a lot of fun to the film. Nowadays, many domestic film industries draw on the experience of eleven arhats and adopt the star effect. However, some movies only learn the epidermis, but not the essence, so tragedies like "I have seen the uncle" were born. In this movie, the cut scenes are played in turns, and it is even more incredible that there are sequels to this kind of celebrity cut scenes. The "Grandpa" series can be continued. I really see your uncle!
