"Pirates of the Caribbean", as a classic Hollywood commercial blockbuster not favored by widows, was finally flopped by me in the last few days of January. These commercial films, especially those that have launched a whole series, have a title like a LOGO, which is really uninteresting. It's like a big brand that will always pay for it as long as you are familiar with it. I only saw this LOGO at first sight, and I was really not interested in it.
But this kind of successful commercial film looks really enjoyable.
With a box office guarantee, it means that it has been recognized by many people, at least with a smooth story, good special effects (if necessary), and Hollywood full of handsome boys and girls. This is cool in the ordinary sense. No need to worry about it. It is easy to be taken into this bizarre adventure when you watch it. You don’t need to dig out any deep connotations. Even if you read it, you will forget it. Half an hour.
When the audience walks into the movie theater, this is the most suitable movie to watch while eating popcorn.
It’s very boring to spend time at home, and it’s the most suitable movie to kill time while eating snacks.
In the first part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the emotional drama between Elizabeth and Will is really a bit clichéd. I am sorry that it is not likable in my opinion, and the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the refreshing Captain Jack. This role made me pay attention to Johnny Depp.
Jack is often the kind of character that audiences like to see most.
The style is classic, facial expressions and orchid fingers have become his unique flag, which can be distinguished from the crowd at a glance.
A bit ruffian, funny, chicken thief, the most important thing is that you can’t tell if he is a good person or a bad person. A good person, a hero who represents justice, is often as boring as Will; while a bad person is always rejected by people. There are good times and bad times, neither good nor bad. As a pirate but occasionally stand on the right side, as a friend but occasionally betray a friend, it makes people feel interesting.
Nowadays, no one likes to watch the performances of heroes with bitterness and hatred. After all, this is an era where entertainment is supreme.
In other words, everyone who will eventually grow up will understand that there are indeed no absolute heroes and villains who are either black or white in the real world.
Nowadays, people are getting more and more uncomfortable. They can watch a two-and-a-half-hour adventure movie with special effects in a movie theater or facing a computer screen. If the comedy element is not added, the atmosphere of the film is relaxed, I am afraid this pair Most people are tortured.
So to summarize the success factors of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the primary reason is to create the protagonist image of success-Jack Rock. With him as the mainstay, he laid the light and funny tone of the whole film. The fighting is exciting, the adventure is fantasy, and the special effects do not make people play. By the way, an emotional drama is used as a spice, and it can be regarded as a feast.
The narrative mode is often two lines or even three lines unfolding at the same time, and finally cross each other, perfect docking, and always promote the development of the story, twists and turns, fascinating.
To be honest, watching a good commercial film can also completely make people feel that "this wave is not at a loss."
I gave the first four stars and the second five stars, of course not because compared to the independent story of the first, the second story seemed more "cute" in the end, nor because the style of David Jones was really disgusting to me. It's a bit unbearable. But I think that compared with the first, the second part has made significant progress in all aspects.
The first is that the plot is better. Whether it is Savage, David Jones, or the newly appointed little bitch, they have caused a lot of trouble for the protagonists. More importantly, the first half of the first part is divided into two lines, and the main plot is actually a single line, while the third part perfectly controls the three lines and the plot develops in an orderly manner and is more closely related to each other. When the final overlaps, the appreciation will naturally increase. To the highest point. A lot of coincidences were used in the operation, and the chaos was orderly, at least it didn't bother me, which shows that a lot of work has indeed been done.
Then the image of the heroine is more prominent than in the first part. Although the final incarnation of Bitch is annoying to me, I have to admit that in the second part, the digging of her is deeper and fuller and more three-dimensional. Until here, the trio finally showed their pirate temperament, and the heroine was integrated into the story.
The third is to create a more realistic and desirable pirate world, and further open up the creative space of pirates. From the background, the highlights of the first part are the Black Pearl and the Cursed Gold, while the second part adds savages, sea monsters, sea monster managers, and prophets, involving the service of souls and the masters of the sea. , People really feel that the sea belongs to pirates, pirates symbolize freedom, and there are countless mysterious legends and stunning legends in the world of pirates, which are waiting for the protagonists to experience. This is equivalent to the background being drawn on the original drawings with only characters, and this magnificent world is obviously worth looking forward to.
In addition, I think the captain is cheaper, so he is also cuter. In the first part, he was thrown into jail time and time again. To be honest, it was a little frustrating. The second part was more free. Of course, the excitement of the adventure has been greatly improved. He encountered life and death crisis several times. This is because of the plot. Full, on the other hand, the rhythm is more compact.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" deserves five stars for the second part.
Of course, for me with obsessive-compulsive disorder, I can't wait to collect a complete series of badges. Of course, I want to finish it as soon as possible for the ones that have been released. I look forward to seeing them as soon as possible.
