Among them, there are very few movies that can go down in history. In fact, for most movies, the ability to shoot is exciting enough to make the audience willing to pay for it and complete the task.
I really don't think this is difficult, especially when the budget is sufficient, as you can see from the film "National Treasure", which was 10 years ago.
As a treasure hunt and adventure movie, is there any innovation in the theme? No. This subject has been repeatedly filmed countless times, and the audience couldn't be more familiar with it. Indiana Jones used a trilogy to brush up the minds of Americans as early as the 1980s.
Is the plot cleverly designed? Also general. The whole film follows the traditional routine, and there is no shocking chin drop at the end, and the whole can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Such a "ordinary" movie can still be bought by a large audience, and it sold more than 300 million at the box office that year. This shows that it is not necessary to make a good film from time to time. If you can make up all aspects above the level according to the conventional thinking, the film will not be ugly.
First of all, "National Treasure" has stars as selling points. Nicholas Cage and Strongwater two big movie stars plus the beautiful "Helena" Diane Kruger, the cast is eye-catching enough.
Secondly, the rhythm of the movie is well grasped. One tight and one loose, always leaving suspense to suspend the audience's appetite.
Third, although the plot is not impeccable, there are no loopholes that are big enough to make people play. Combined with the "Declaration of Independence" and other real historical elements, it can effectively arouse the interest of the audience.
Fourth, the plain story line, without complicated dark lines and intricate plots, makes it easy for anyone to understand, suitable for all ages.
And so on, there are many more. This shows that the film is a film with many advantages and few disadvantages. There is no revolutionary innovation, but no major omissions, the routine is very old, but the degree of completion is high. It didn't create a new era, but it was enough to make the audience pay for it. After all, we just want to go to the cinema to have some fun.
