When I was a kid, my family had a video recorder. My parents were also movie fans. I often played some ripped Hollywood classics at home. My childhood left a deep impression on me. They are all a bit horrible. I vaguely remember watching "Terminator", "Star Wars", "Alien" under a quilt, and of course "Jurassic Park".
Therefore, "Jurassic World" was reviewed twice as soon as it was released. It is exciting, exciting, and beautiful. It is not only a thrilling action sci-fi blockbuster, but also an excellent plot film and story writing template. Considering the current situation I also wrote the script, here is a brief analysis of the story writing of "Jurassic World". Since I can't remember the English names, you can only look at the code name. Forgive me =. =.....
[The first scene, the establishment]
The opening scene of the movie explains the scene of dinosaurs breaking out of their shells. In a movie called Jurassic, the audience must be rushing to the dinosaurs, so the first The appearance of dinosaurs in this picture is inevitable. But it’s worth noting that this is actually non-plot. Through the joke and the abusive bird's feet (dinosaurs evolved into bird stalks), the real opening scene of the movie quickly shifted to the protagonist brothers preparing to bid farewell to their parents and go to "Jurassic World." The separation scene of the vacation, and the airport father "the family can not eat the last breakfast", confessed that the family is about to be broken. This opening scene does not mention "dinosaurs" except for the bookcase props, and the deep meaning of it will be discussed later.
Next, the characters appear in sequence. The aunt that the child is looking for is a role similar to a professional manager of a dinosaur park. The mouthful of data, workaholics, and family estrangement all reflect the state of the characters at the beginning of the scene. Of course, it is also for the characters behind. The conversion has made a foreshadowing, which belongs to the character setting of low driving and high walking. In this section, the controversy between the middle-aged aunt and the otaku programmer about a Jurassic Park T-shirt cleverly connects the movie to the plot of Jurassic Park 1. Although the programmer otaku is a supporting role, he has assumed the role of a "prophet" and hinted at a possible crisis in this world. (It is worth noting that it seems that this film is regarded as an orthodox sequel, because Park 23 is a story that takes place on Island B?)
One of the more interesting roles is the way the Indian boss plays. He is driving a helicopter and is not very skilled (foreshadowing). Correcting the aunt's management philosophy makes people feel that this is a more positive role. However, this positive and positive will end in a similarly anti-type treatment in the later story, forming a discussion and metaphor about the theme, which we will talk about later.
The protagonist of "Jurassic World" is also the villain of the story. The mutant tyrannosaurus appeared. Here, only a part appeared, as well as the increasingly high breeding environment, broken glass and other side descriptions, which not only aroused the curiosity of the audience, but also succeeded. In line with the rhythm of the movie, this is a "blockbuster" after all, and the dinner is always on stage later.
The actor Owen takes his Velociraptor team to the stage. The plot of dinosaur training is first used here to refresh the audience. At the same time, it also implies that the Velociraptor team will inevitably undergo a more important role in the development of the latter part of the plot. Irving’s rescue of the new employees not only reinforces the cooperation between Irving and the Velociraptor, but also shows the character's brave and witty character.
Regarding the handling of the militarization of the Velociraptor, the fat villain also appeared and preached his weaponization concept, which in fact also embodies the controversy over the values of the film. (In this part, the fat villain is portrayed too straightforwardly. Some are straightforward. Some reason is that the dinosaur is the real number one resistance in this story. The fat villain is just a side plot. But I think it can be regarded as a movie. A small mistake, I will talk about it later).
During the play of the two brothers, some dinosaur play items were also interspersed. In addition to the interesting cuteness of riding a triceratops and the "gene animation" that pays homage to Jurassic Park, the important part of the story was also completed. The foreshadowing and display of dinosaur characters, the luminous rod used for feeding by Tyrannosaurus rex, is a classic tradition in Jurassic Park and will also be used in the third act. Mosasaur's hunting habits are also an important foreshadowing and a key solution to the problem.
So far, the first act has basically completed the appearance of the characters and the explanation of the relationship between the characters. The focus is on the relationship between the characters. The brother of the protagonist is in adolescence and has a rude attitude towards his younger brother, and their aunt is a workaholic who will forget the age of his nephew, and the protagonist seems to be a one-night stand friend, and the two are also very good friends. . The Indian boss is ambitious, and the fat villain has a ghost in his heart. And that computer controller looked like a waste, and it would flash in key places behind.
[Second Act, Advance]
Finally, we are about to enter the second act. After a slightly cumbersome construction, after all, the characters are separated in the early stage, and there are dinosaurs and scientific concepts to be laid. Fortunately, there are various curiosities and interesting points of the theme park. The motivating event at the junction of the two acts is the escape of the mutant tyrannosaurus. The setting here is to set the tone of the story. It is no longer a man-made scientific accident, but is entirely the cunning of the dinosaurs themselves, using their camouflage skills and superb wisdom to deceive the breeders and successfully escape. In this process, it was the first contest between the hero and the villain dinosaur. The plot in which the hero Owen escaped with the smell of gasoline showed the hero's aura, and also showed the ability and brutality of the villain dinosaur. Here, the dinosaur’s abilities have not been fully explained. How to avoid thermal imaging and how to disguise is to be explained gradually later.
After the dinosaurs fled, the reactions of several characters were differentiated. The Indian boss and heroine Claire still regarded the dinosaurs as exhibits at this time and demanded a harmless capture. The fat man, the villain on the double line of the plot, called on the dark line as well.
The arrest operation failed for granted, and people knew that this mutant tyrannosaurus would be invisible and disguised, and further explained his ferocity and power. In this process, the protagonist questioned its genetic makeup, on the one hand, explaining the features of the wonders that have been displayed, on the other hand, it also continued to pave the way for the following plot. (The reason for the failure of the Velociraptor to encircle and suppress at the end)
In the development of the story, it is time to gather the two scattered main lines of the characters. The two protagonists and brothers drove the ball to the jungle adventure. (The doctor in it seems to be the first one. Broken leg? Not sure) Encountered Tyrannosaurus hunting Ankylosaurus and successfully escaped. And entered the site of the early Jurassic Park, repaired the off-road vehicle. The focus of this section is to show the emotional changes of the two brothers. They began to recall that they had helped grandpa repair the car. Gradually, the audience realized that the two brothers began to become close.
On the other hand, Auntie and Owen decided to find their nephews by themselves. They went deep into the jungle. Here is a plot similar to the Virgin of the Animals in which Claire conducts Diplodocus's final farewell up close. The heroine left tears of conscience and also awakened the audience's reflection on the relationship between humans and animals, but it may be a little bit bloody here.
Just as the relationship between the brothers and the characters has changed, the emotions of the hero and heroine are also changing. The heroine is in a disguise, and in the process of being chased by the mutant tyrannosaurus, he does not have to deal with the reaction of Irving's support and escape, which makes the audience smile and the characters also Become cute. It is worth mentioning that the small details of the small reactions between people who drifted away from the main line of the plot have not only played an excellent role in this movie, but also in recent Hollywood blockbusters.
[Story midpoint]
The boss with a more positive image in the front decided to go to battle in person, driving a helicopter and holding a machine gun to hunt the mutant tyrannosaurus. Just now confidently showing that he is the general leading the soldiers to the front, he immediately fell to the pterosaur exhibition. Pavilion. As mentioned earlier, this character dies at the midpoint of the story. In addition to plot needs, it is more of a conceptual metaphor setting, which symbolizes that a confident human being who thinks he is correct and has sufficient conditions is convenient and confident, facing the unknown. Unbearable and absurd. The escape of the pterosaur undoubtedly promoted the development of the plot in the overall structure of the story-the dinosaurs began to threaten all visitors, and the park was completely out of control.
As for the scenario setting of pterosaurs attacking humans, I think it may be regarded as a relatively large slot in the whole film. On the one hand, from a scientific point of view (I am referring to the pseudoscience in the film), it is slightly false, and the scenes on the street The innocent people seem to be a bit too much. But what is more interesting is that the female assistant who lost the child was taken away as a big fish as soon as she finished talking about paying attention to safety. Then it was swallowed by the blue dragon and the pterosaur. Here, the characteristics of Canglong are strengthened again. (In fact, professionals can guess the role of Canglong after seeing this)
In order to adjust the atmosphere, after the pterodactyl attack, the protagonist finally got together from two lines, and used all the relaxed emotional stalks, such as boyfriend or colleague, follow you or follow her to adjust the rhythm of the plot. My aunt began to have a sense of responsibility and arranged for my brother to hide in a seemingly safe car. The brothers also had a sincere confession. My brother recalled his childhood ghost hunting experience and said that he would protect you at all times. The audience can realize that this event has allowed everyone to grow.
At this time, the private militia arranged by the villain Fatty began to take over the company, and he proposed a plan for the Velociraptor to capture the Tyrannosaurus. As the dinosaur trainer, the actor Owen personally led the task.
It should be said that the plot of the actor carrying the Velociraptor is a big gimmick in this movie. It is not only a conceptual attempt, but also an interesting sublimation of the IQ of the Velociraptor in the previous three movies. It should be said that it is more than Wing Long Lai is convincing. At the critical moment, the answer to the genetic makeup of the mutant tyrannosaurus that had been laid before was revealed at this moment. It turned out that he was also a half velociraptor, so the plan was messed up all at once. In addition to the action scenes during this process, the audience should also recognize the information that the Velociraptor undoubtedly knew Owen and his black friends, and Owen also felt sad that his Velociraptor was exploded by a rocket launcher, whether there were humans and dinosaurs. truth? It is not only suspense, but also pave the way for the subsequent plot.
Next, on the one hand, the main villain’s hunting down of the dinosaurs, on the other hand, the fat man’s private armament began to take away the dinosaur genes. These private armaments did not play a key role in the plot, and can only be seen as a sequel. It means that a minor plot that should have been more interesting is gone, which is also a small flaw in the overall structure of the movie. If these private weapons directly affect the confrontation between the protagonist and the dinosaurs, it will undoubtedly make the focus of the second half of the story more concentrated.
I want to emphasize again that the author thinks Fatty is a failed character. When he appeared on the stage, the character design of the villain Fatty was too simple and rude. The audience already knew that this person was not a good guy. Therefore, the bad guy ejaculated prematurely and let everyone treat the Velociraptor. The app foresees the ending early. If the fat man can be suddenly exposed after the hunt fails, the plot may be more compact. Simply put, it is the role change and lack of depth.
The otaku programmer chose to stay is also a more ingenious plot setting. On the one hand, he used a failed confession to ease the rhythm of the plot and let the audience take a sigh of relief. Effect), on the other hand, it explains the brilliance of the human nature of the small person in front of the decision (this is also a successful experience that has been tried and tested), and it also leaves a functional role for the final solution to the trouble.
When the protagonist and a group of people passed through the laboratory, snakes, chameleons, newts and other animals appeared. This is also a good detail setting. The scientific concept was outlined with some concepts in the front, and the audience's seeing is believing here, so that the mutant tyrannosaurus I firmly believe in the rationality of the American science fiction films. The reason why American science fiction films are so enjoyable is that they pay great attention to the concept of self-justification. For example, tree frogs are used to explain how dinosaurs control their heat output, and infrared perception is used to explain why dinosaurs move toward crowded places. Although it is pseudo-science, at least let the audience watch the movie under a virtual rule. Rather than think of a thunder plot that is one out.
Once again, it was the kind of plot change that was tried and tested. Fatty had just made a vow and was attacked by the Velociraptor. The three-dimensional imaging dilophosaurus during the escape is also an interesting protagonist in the first part, which is a tribute. The protagonist escaped the hall and was chased by three raptors.
[The third act, climax]
In fact, the plot in the second half of this movie is already spiraling tension, so the so-called emotional and action scene climax has already started before. But after all, the main opponent of the story in this episode is still the mutant tyrannosaurus, so the confrontation with the mutant tyrannosaurus is undoubtedly the third act.
The emotions of the previously laid-up actor Owen and the Velociraptor were confirmed at this time. It turned out that the Velociraptor was still on the side of humans. The Velociraptor and the mutant tyrannosaurus fought, and the Velociraptor and Owen looked vulnerable.
The heroine and the children are hiding together. The little boy's habit of counting teeth has been laid before. He wakes up the heroine, and the heroine also actively and bravely makes a breakthrough. Remember Jurassic Park 1’s luminous rod that attracted Tyrannosaurus rex and the way of feeding Tyrannosaurus rex before the story. The heroine took the signal stick and ran to the front of the Tyrannosaurus fence. But fortunately, it’s in the climax section, don’t bother about it.) The Tyrannosaurus rex hit the spinyback skeleton and reported the revenge of the Jurassic Park 3 Tyrannosaurus being smashed by the spinyback dragon.
The genuine Tyrannosaurus can't beat the pirated mutant Tyrannosaurus, mainly because of short hands, and it seems that it will be completely exploded. At this time, the raptors that had foreshadowed before reappear. After a few combos, the Canglong that had been laid out before finally reached the time when it was time to use it, and walked you in a big gulp, finally the theme event was over.
Okay, let’s take a look at the final scene of the movie. Remember how the movie started, a broken family. At the end, it played a role of anaphora. The family was reunited, family, affection, trust, even in the movie with the dinosaur world as the protagonist, the story always put the focus on family, affection, character emotions and intimacy, focusing on the emotions of the characters. . This is the secret to the success of Hollywood blockbusters.
As for the last Tyrannosaurus, does it confirm that Tyrannosaurus is orthodox?
[Four. Summary] The
reason why a blockbuster is a blockbuster is that its overall high-end atmosphere is high-grade, many but not chaotic character settings, a stable and solid construction part, a good task status and a virtual world view, rather than just coming up. Pursue sensory stimulation.
A more systematic scientific setting of the concept of dinosaurs has been carried out. The dinosaurs and the characters jointly dominate the advancement of the plot and enhance the initiative of the dinosaurs, not just unilaterally. Justified in conceptual science and enhanced the convincing power of the story.
In the character setting, children and teenagers are important roles. Family affection and growth run through the story. The aunt is a high-end white-collar worker, and Owen is a cool, hot-blooded, rough-and-blooded adult audience with different classes and characteristics. The roles are suitable for all ages. Coverage. This kind of protagonist setting must be scientifically demonstrated and researched.
The relationship between man and animal, man and nature is also the focus of the film. The trust relationship between the protagonist and the Velociraptor is a sublimation of the previous movies and a big gimmick; on the theme, many dangerous attempts by humans to pursue interests have been carried out. Irony and discussion are full of mainstream values.
In terms of the plot, the three-act structure is still closely linked, and the construction is completed steadily. After ingeniously designed several key plot nodes, one scene explains the completion of multiple tasks in a compact rhythm. After many suspense and foreshadowing, when needed, it becomes a solution smoothly and naturally.
When it comes to the problem, the main reason is that the fat man and the power represented by the fat man in the secondary plot are somewhat anticlimactic, and somewhat weakened in structural logic. In addition, after all, it involves the dinosaur park, and some small issues cannot be deliberated, such as the heroine, an executive goes by himself. Find your own children to ignore all the tourists in the park. Of course, these are just small problems. Nothing can cover the big dinosaurs~~~~
Well, that's basically it. Although it is not perfect, it is still worth studying and digging. of.
