Let's talk about this cool film seriously. I've heard it a long time ago, and filmmakers love to emphasize that without a good script, no matter how good editing, video, art, and actors, they can't be saved. This play is a lively counterexample. Two little directors who do technical work and have little literacy in the drama came to the whole film. They just rely on professional photography and creative editing. The soundtrack is unparalleled. The aesthetics and handsome actors support the drama to become a swift chase. . It's really fun. I couldn't help but watch and analyze how this bad movie turned things around and gained popularity with the audience.
First of all, the play is terrible, but the wonderful thing is that it is terribly selective and terrible. It was like a knife stabbed more than a dozen times, but no one was at the point. Bad is irrelevant bad. Instead, the real "critical points" are protected very accurately. The screenwriter is incompetent, but he knows what the audience wants, so much. Friendship line of rubbish doubts. All the supporting roles that collapsed. The three-act chaotic set of too long resolution (from killing a son for a dog suddenly to killing a father with friends, the plot is broken into two pieces is too contrary to the expectations of psychological instinct). At the beginning, killing people for a dog cart was super ridiculous and humorous, but this kind of comedy atmosphere that was built so hard was broken and did not continue. There are all kinds of illogical links to escape from birth, the villain gives up, and the big boss provides for his son.
Oh, but these ones, are they important? unimportant! ! Those of us who read Shuangwen want to see that the male protagonist is cool! The hero wins! The male protagonist kills indiscriminately! Did these screenwriters do it? done! ! And the contrast is pretty good. At the beginning, when a group of people heard whose dog and whose car it was, including the big boss, they were silent. The moment was really effective, funny and cool. Everyone who sees him later knows him and respects him. It is a must for cool drama. A hotel where the magical asylum killer uses coins to trade, who doesn’t like this kind of fantasy setting with a little Harry Potter "im the chosen"! The characters are generally badly portrayed, but what the audience wants is emphasized! john wick loves his wife, loves dog, old retiree, treasure knife, young and principled image of a solitary warrior who doesn’t love. The villain boss gentleman and the cold side add a real appreciation for john wick and other capable killers. Both of them are very principled and trustworthy. Go to the back to kill the son without talking, without grinding, with a headshot to solve the biggest goal of the whole film! The climaxes of other movies are at least twice, not this one! Self-confidence feels that the emotional advancement is very good, what the audience wants is the two refreshing shots of sex! It's a bet!
Let's talk about aesthetics, I like it so much. The service and music design of this film can be seen with great care. At a small cost, it has made a magical aesthetic that is different from other ordinary action films, with a little bit of cyberpunk elements + Game elements (the climax part of the direct cross cut game screen I was shocked at the time). electronic music. The clothes are neatly tailored, which is popular in modern suits, and a handsome suit arrives. The modern atmosphere of the whole film comes up, which is different from the classical/realism of traditional spy warfare.
So much has been said in a moment, it is still very interesting to analyze the success of commercial films, I think about writing
