When the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" reached 700 million, we felt cheered. Finally, a domestic film could reach a certain height. Even if the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" was equally high, it did not make people feel uneasy. When the box office of "Painted Skin 2" also quietly reached 700 million, people began to feel speechless. In fact, such a high box office cannot be regarded as the fault of the film's producer, even if such a victory seems so unbearable. Because this kind of box office was caused by embarrassing institutional protections. Throughout July and most of August, Hollywood blockbusters did not come, and this summer prime time, there were no better works. As a result, "Painted Skin 2" picked up a huge bargain, so the box office continued to be drawn into its own ticket warehouse. However, the box office space that should have been more than two or three times the size has evaporated. As a result, several blockbuster films that could have won a good box office were compressed into a short period of one week, and they were released in succession. This bizarre arrangement can only be breathtaking.
As a result, Marvel’s work "The Amazing Spider-Man" and DC work "The Dark Knight Rises" directly collided. For me, of course I prefer the latter a little bit more, because the height left by "The Dark Knight" is too high, I can't help but pay attention to the next story of Batman. So, "The Amazing Spider-Man" is the first to watch it, and it ends before there is no self-comparison.
To say that "Painted Skin 2" is not so good does not mean that Hollywood blockbusters are necessarily better. At least, "The Amazing Spider-Man" is not as powerful as imagined. In recent years, movies based on comics have attracted much attention from Hollywood. The starting point was "Spider-Man" in 2012 10 years ago. In the past 10 years, all kinds of heroes have been on the screen. , Among them, there are excellent works and defective products. Among the masterpieces, including "Spider-Man 2", "Iron Man", "Dark Knight", "Watchmen", "King of the Sea", "Transformers", "Avengers", etc., are all considered good products on the market. And "Soul Chariot", "Green Lantern", "Fantastic Four 2" and so on can be regarded as failures. On the whole, movies adapted from anime have almost gone downhill, because the development has been developed, not only the subject matter, but also the depth. The profound topics in the "Dark Knight" make it difficult for latecomers to reach. "King Kong" and "Avengers" fully display the big scenes, big productions, and big casts, making it difficult for latecomers to catch up. When many new heroes came out, it was already difficult to get so much attention from the predecessors. Therefore, "Thor", "Captain America", and "Iron Man 2" are not too successful. "King of the Sea" has some new ideas. Although "X-Men: Hour of War" can be considered a success, the overall achievement is not so great.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------After
writing the above text, it is still in the draft box for almost 10 days. Changed to a new job, took on the work of a department, waiting to be renewed, and relatively busy. Although I watched some movies and books, I really didn't want to write something. It was a pity. Today, taking advantage of the weekend, let's hurry up and make some fun. At least, I will finish writing this half-letter first.
After watching "The Amazing Spider-Man", I watched "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Prometheus" one after another. In comparison, I have to say that Little Spider is the worst one. It is also a restart work. Although "The Dark Knight Rises" has reached the third part, it is still part of a restarted series, and "The Amazing Spider-Man" is the first part of the restarted trilogy. It’s hard to say whether there will be a sequel to "Prometheus", but this time the restart was quite successful. Coupled with the earlier restarts of "X-Men: First Stop" and "Rise of the Apes", I really have to say that in terms of world view, "The Amazing Spider-Man" is relatively average. Because in addition to it, the above-mentioned several films have undoubtedly moved to a new height in the world view, and have broken away from the shackles of the original work, and opened up a new realm on top of innovation and change. The little spider appears to be a little flat, just telling a new story, justifying itself, and establishing a new idol. In terms of pleasing to the eye, the newly appointed little spider is indeed more enduring. Compared with Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield has a little bit less scent, and is more handsome and idolized. As far as the actor’s temperament is concerned, Toby Maguire’s Spider-Man appears to be more humane. The poor dick has super powers because of accidents, so he wanders between ordinary people and superheroes. Feeling the mission of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", and the suffering of fame and fortune, it seems more credible in the shaping of the role. As the opposite of superheroes, Dr. Octopus and Venom are also more successful. Presumably, the "Lizardman" in "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a bit anticlimactic.
In fact, behind the Marvel series of animation images, many characters appeared and the worldview behind them was in the 1960s and 1970s. After World War II, global technology developed rapidly, and technology promoted the rapid development of the world economy. Of course, at that time, the great China was falling into a period of rapid development outside the world because of the Great Cultural Revolution. This is a digression. The development of science and technology is embodied in culture. Some people have fear of science and technology, the fear of technology out of control and nuclear fission, and the two empires of the United States and the Soviet Union in nuclear weapons and space competition. The impact of the Cherbeno nuclear leak in the Soviet Union was reflected in the culture, and a series of mutated images brought about by technological aberrations appeared. In Japan, Godzilla and Astro Boy appeared, and in the United States, a series of cartoon images and various sci-fi horror films, such as the opposite sex, appeared. Mankind's loss of control over technology and the fear of uncharted territory have driven cultural anti-war, although this development now seems a little ridiculous. But imagine the age of the leading directors who dominate the film industry. Today’s film culture reflects the tastes of the children in the 1969-1970s. They will influence their culture after they have the ability to project it. On top of today's influence. This seems to be very ashamed. The current film culture is actually a reflection of the culture 30 to 40 years ago, and the factors representing the current culture cannot be fully released because of the weakness of the people in it, so they have to Postpone. It's just that these images, because the directors have added some current cultural factors to cater to the present, or adapted the story to make them closer to reality, but in the core, they are still decades ago. thing. If in order to cater to the present, the worldview and culture behind the original story are completely discarded, in fact, it is not desirable, because it will make it superficial. Unfortunately, "The Amazing Spider-Man" is just like that. Whether it is the Lizardman or the Hulk, they are actually out of control of technology at the beginning, which has brought terrifying power. This kind of setting, in the exploration of the genetic field, the Hulk, the Lizardman, Doctor Octopus, and Captain America are all It will not become a reality, but at the beginning, the sense of inability to grasp technology has actually created these images. The daunting power they possess is culturally objective. The trend of his character lies in his grasp of human nature.
Going back to "The Amazing Spider-Man", originally, Dr. Kurt Connors refused to do evil and has been resisting orders suppressed by his boss to prevent the application of immature technology to humans. The gentle and cowardly Connors looks a bit similar to Dr. Banner of the "Hulk". Unfortunately, in the evolution of technology, he is troubled by the side effects of technology. When such side effects show their power, their nature is I suppressed it indefinitely, and when I was a little awake, I wanted to find the serum for treatment. However, the same as the image of Marvel, the Hulk was portrayed as a superhero, and the Lizardman is unfortunately just a supporting role to contrast the superhero, but they undoubtedly have the same sadness. In "The Amazing Spider-Man", if this sadness can be dealt with more vividly, I believe that the current film will be more enduring, instead of just having some skills and coolness of handsome guys. The lizardman seemed sensible and unwilling to do evil most of the time, but after the sudden change, it suddenly became like destroying the entire city. This is a bit unreasonable, although there is a foreshadowing that he hates incompleteness, likes perfection, and does not want to watch To the sordidness of this world, I want to create a powerful new world by myself. But this change seems too sudden, and it's better to rescue Spider-Man suddenly, this change seems sudden. The whole connection, the lizardman's personality setting is not perfect. And a superhero movie, whether it is good or not, is largely about the villain. The more vivid the villain, the higher the decentness will be. Just like "The Dark Knight" has a crazy "Joker" that makes the whole film look more beautiful, and in "The Dark Knight Rises", the new villain "Bain" is sharper than the "Joker". The degree is not so clear, which makes the impression a lot smaller, and quite a few people think that "The Dark Knight Rises" is not as good-looking as "The Dark Knight".
"The Amazing Spider-Man" uses 3D technology in its shooting technology, and the cleverness of female pig's feet, as well as the wonderfulness of Uncle Little Spider and Auntie, it makes the overall look reasonable. At least, it can be considered in the movie theater. Good-looking, or, in the box office in China, still ahead of the "Dark Knight Rise". But on the whole, it was not a loss, at least not a failed restart. But following the current path, there is a hidden crisis, and I hope it will look better in the next one. Just like the "Spider-Man 2" that year, it became a typical sequel that was better than the first one.
