In fact, as far as the plot of this movie is concerned, the argument "accidentally cannot become inevitable" is also fully applicable. The kidnapping of the protagonist’s daughter in the original film was entirely an accident, and it was a well-trained person who deeply moved the audience. After all the battles, at this time, it was just the courage, persistence and even unscrupulous means of an isolated and helpless father in saving his daughter. As the saying goes, true feelings are revealed in times of crisis, and what resonates with the audience is the deep paternal love buried deep in action scenes, car chasing scenes, big bangs, etc. When he is desperate and helpless, the audience also feels sad, and he is injured. At that time, the hearts of the audience were also bleeding. This kind of interaction is the key to making the audience willing to spend 100% with the protagonist until the end; and this time the scene of the villain’s revenge greatly weakened the unpredictability of the plot’s direction and fundamentally changed it. A "double-blind" narrative routine makes the story almost indifferent; what's worse is that the ex-wife character who is stuffed into the film takes up a large part of the time required for the development of the plot but does not show what it should be. The character has not developed any personality that can resonate with the audience. The emotional impact of the film is severely diluted, and the narrative becomes lax. As a result, the protagonist hangs all the way and the bad guys are weak in the film. It takes an hour and a half. The movie banged to the end like a derailed train. After watching it, people only have one feeling, OUCH, how did it make it like this? Look at the good things you have done.
But even if the movie is not successful, I still can't help but show mercy to Taken 2. There is only one reason-Liam Neeson, or the character he portrayed Bryan Mills. He always looks too serious and daunting. He always fights against the whole world alone. He cares less and less and encounters more and more troubles. He is too tired and just wants to make All this will end forever, but have to stand up again and again to face the danger and death that comes to the door. This man is a hero of our time. He is no longer young and chic, no longer omnipotent, no longer beautiful and no longer saving the world. The brilliant sunshine of California and the waves of applause and praise never belonged to him. He always silently and quickly walked through the dark streets and alleys of the ancient city, tightly holding a fatal blow in his hand. gun. The tall and stern Neeson no longer carries the scorn of youth and impulsiveness. After so many life changes, he is now quiet and kind, almost responsive, with a touch of British dryness and stubborn sense of humor; his next character is Matthew Scudder , As a 60-year-old senior actor, he took over this role to make Lawrence Block fans all over the world rejoice and rush to tell; some people will gradually age like a good wine, maybe the aftertaste is a bit bitter but full of mouths The fragrant wine makes people can’t help but taste it again. I think Neeson must be one of these people. As an actor who can always look forward to his next role, Taken 2 is just a small episode in his acting career-this movie may have failed, but he definitely did not. In fact, for the audience, with such an actor in the line, it is finally worth the movie ticket money.
We always hope that our hero can be happy, but the protagonist of a blockbuster movie always seems to be happy before long and will be pulled out to make a sequel to make the audience feel uncomfortable. ——Can't help but want to say, stop tossing, if the audience is annoying Bryan Mills, where should we go to find the next lonely hero in film noir style?
