for me a good movie needs to meet the following criteria
a He told a few good or The
second story is very connotative. It makes people think about it. Third, it makes people feel comfortable to watch. The visual effects are good.
Fourth, there are favorite characters and
hero movies. This theme is quite easy to fall into the stereotypes. One with super powers. People keep bad guys every day, and then a powerful big bad guy on the last day. This is the most inferior hero movie, mostly from animations for children. A little better hero movie will be added when fighting a strong big bad guy. A conspiracy and framing, there are so many spy-like films like 007 and Bonn. A little bit more is a story in which the hero himself is in a conspiracy, and the black knight has almost done it in place.
However, the watchman makes people feel good. Surprisingly, he started from an old-fashioned heroic story, from conspiracy and frame-up to the climax, and to the end, just when we thought the conspiracy had been cracked and the powerful villain was about to be knocked out, the truth came to the surface again. Surprisingly, it immediately sublimated the connotation of the whole film. From the old-fashioned group of heroes saving the world to the height of "how to change the nature of mankind, let mankind self-salvation."
I will return to the 4 good movies I said. Elements. The essence of the movie is to tell the story. The story is not good. No matter how good the special effects are, the actor is good, and the investment is more, it is still a scum movie that you have seen it. The recent examples are Terminator 4, the far one There is Australia. Terminator 4 is poor in the ability to guide the story, and the double story line, a high level narrative method, can't grasp the point. It neither tells the origin of the protagonist of the cyber man nor describes the heart of John Connor. The Australian film is boring because the theme of the entire film itself is boring, isn't it just a group of people driving cattle? The director's low storytelling level amplifies the boringness of this boring story. After
watching the negative example, watch the watchman's The plot, in which there are 5 characters in the main line of the story, large and small characters add up to double digits, and there are entanglements between blood and emotional lines. Accidentally filmed into a running account, or a group like Oshii Mamoru Yes, the whole film director is mumbling to himself that the audience doesn't know what they are watching.
But what is very surprising is that the character story style of the watchman actually has the feeling of Gary (of course, I am referring to those classic works in his earlier period) characters bring out characters, characters develop plots, plots lead to new characters, characters Intertwined with each other, short interspersed fragments depict the outlines and relationships of the characters. It is very clear to see, and you can directly focus on the plot itself instead of racking your brains and thinking "Mom this guy and that guy are very familiar... What is their relationship? "
The depth of the plot is also a major weakness of hero movies. The connotation of 99% of hero movies is the Republican party platform. "Lao Tzu is justice. If you oppose Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will destroy you." Among them is Stallone. The "Special Police Judge" is the apex of the Republican heroes, and there is no one that can be surpassed. The remaining 1% are chaotic neutrals, such as Reborn Man and Constantine, they may have values or no values, no life creed or have The morbid life creed has the meaning of survival or just for revenge. In the
watchman, there are all kinds of choices. There are people who believe that human nature is evil and use violence to fight against criminals. The spacecraft went for a ride, and rescued the people in the fire by the way, and then played with the car quake after saving people. There are Nazis who are heroes just to kill people and enjoy them, and there are people who have the future of mankind in mind. Technical school. And the director does not preach at all, does not dump values, what do you think is what you think. It can be said that the whole film does not have a protagonist, but everyone can find the protagonist in their own heart, and find that he is indeed the center of the whole film. Characters.
If this film exposes the second and fifth boys in the team and the heroes save the world is over, it is just a second-rate story with first-class special effects, and you will forget it after you watch it. However, the final ending is in an MGS The general story of BIG BOSS, only human beings can save mankind. Heroes want to save the world, they must change the nature of mankind. But What can change a nature of a man? Sacrifice a small number of people to save most of them, when only What is the hero's choice when saving the world with an eternal scapegoat? I won't be spoiled, let's see for yourself.
Finally, let’s talk about special effects and characters. Now more and more films treat special effects as the movie itself, but in fact, special effects are the means, and the story is the end. Although there are some people who regard the means as the end
such a movie. I thought it was just another hero comic adaptation. In the movie theater, after I watched the DVD today, my intestines are all regretful...so I wrote a essay to remember...
