What to do if the domestic blockbuster is swollen?

After the release of "X-Men: First Class", the critics enjoyed a high reputation, and I saw it today and it is true. This film is another Hollywood industrial assembly line product with a little sincerity and wisdom added. But such a product is enough to make domestic blockbusters ashamed. In recent years, after the baptism of special effects blockbusters such as "Transformers", "Avatar", "Genesis: War", the special effects scenes have been reduced from the audience's "exciting needs" to "basic needs". This film can no longer rely on the excellent performance of special effects and superpowers to prop up most of the film like the "X-Men" series and the "Spider-Man" series of the same era. From the point of view of the special effects scene alone, although the special effects level of this film is dazzling, it is slightly stable and lacks novelty. This is because over the years, a series of superhero movies, including the main story, have almost exhausted all kinds of superpowers. The film’s creators also know the truth. The special effects scenes in the film fully serve the development of the plot, and the special effects are used clearly and appropriately, so that the effects of the final few team battles can still excite the audience. The story of "X-Men: First Battle" is based on the Cuban Missile Crisis during the Cold War. Like many Hollywood blockbusters, the plot of this film is straightforward and simple, without much ups and downs or extra suspense. However, the director and screenwriter have used accurate grasp of the film rhythm, humorous treatment of details, and successful shaping of the character's personality. Let the plot of the film not appear thin at all. It is worth mentioning that the actor "Wolverine" Hugh Jackman in the main biography of "X-Men" has a wonderful cameo appearance in this film, a faint sentence" Just as some film reviews mentioned that "Professor X" and "Magneto King" are insinuations from Martin Luther King and Malcolm X in real life, I very much agree with this view. "Professor X" and "Magneto King" have many similarities with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. It is because of the strong support of real characters that the relationship between the two cartoon characters is positioned more than that of " The "X-Men" True Story series is clearer and clearer. The two have a complete and convincing set of views and behavioral logic on the issue of racial conflicts between mutants and humans (of course, you may need to count the three main stories), and the actors performed in one go. The relationship between the two of them from cooperation to parting ways gradually progressed smoothly and naturally as the incident became more acute and rational. This kind of solid narrative skill is extremely lacking in the domestic blockbusters with countless bugs and walking above the clouds. The sad thing is that although the technological gap between us and "Avatar" is huge, the gap is tangible. Although we can't do it in the short term, at least we know what to do, but the gap between us and the film mentioned in this film is Intangible. It's like if you can't do a certain math problem and you know what theorems to memorize and what examples to watch, but if you can't write poems, then just do it. What movies do you come out to make? Go back and study again.
