[Note: This article has spoilers for some details. 】
"Wonder Woman" was released on June 2nd. I couldn't withstand the bombing of so many praises in the early stage. I also went to watch this film on the first day (I still didn't do "House of Cards" well). It can be said to be superior in the same type of comic blockbuster. If you add the consideration of the "DCEU" series of movies, this movie really can withstand so many praises, and its most valuable quality lies in its "innocence . "
I am not a DC cook or Marvel cook, and I can’t say which fan I am. I just like to watch blockbuster movies. In this respect, it will be less fun... But "Wonder Woman" is good, she It is a relatively independent and complete story, and there are not so many fans who can understand it to discourage ordinary passers-by. Even if the background knowledge is half-knowledge, it will not affect the pleasure of watching the movie.
In this respect, we should thank Patty Jenkins for directing the film, and Zach Schneider took a back seat as producer and screenwriter (the latter has a strong personal "style" and doesn't like more than he likes).
Let’s talk about "Wonder Woman." Last time I saw her on the big screen. It was a glimpse from last year’s "Super Bat Fight." There are countless fans , which makes Wonder Woman independent movies a lot easier.
However, if it's just a story of a beautiful girl hitting a girl, then this piece will certainly not have the current treatment. I believe people who have watched the movie will find that Diana's feelings, reactions, cognitions and attitudes towards the human world are very interesting, and I think this is also the biggest attraction and highlight of the film .
Let’s talk a little bit more, those kinds of stories about love and hate, good and evil are never tired of telling, and as long as they pass the test, everyone will always love to read it, because "the great way is simple, the understanding is in the sky", just like simple and brave Same as Diana.
The length of the film is so long, to a certain extent, because it took a considerable amount of space at the beginning, patiently telling the story of Diana’s growth from the beginning, if it weren’t for Captain Steve’s crash, accidentally hitting and ran to Paradise Island, probably wearing Anna will be trapped in the utopian world of Amazon warriors for a long time.
After Diana followed Steve to the dunya, the wonderful chapter officially began.
Due to the long-term isolation of life, Diana is full of freshness and curiosity about everything in modern human society (including men). The most direct result is all kinds of jokes -such as frankly reading 12 "Sex Book" and Without changing his face, he bluntly said that Steve's secretary Eta was a slave, holding a shield and a sword through the revolving door and so on.
But at the same time, it is precisely because of the lack of red tape and common sense constraints of mortals that Diana can often speak surprisingly, and every time she does everything she can touch the essence of things and tell the existence and absurd reality , such as scolding generals. We talked about "war or peace" in the war room, instead of going to the front line to lead the way and set an example...
Diana learns very quickly and can do what she thinks she should do: because in addition to common sense in the world, her ideas and will are very positive and firm . She can help Steve and Charlie solve their troubles, and even when they cross the battlefield, they can "liberate" the village through the line of fire despite the difficulties.
Here is a very heartwarming detail. Before Steve and Diana went to the front line, they looked for a few helpers, but these people Diana were a bit dissatisfied, Samir, a scammer who loves acting, and a drunk sniper. Charlie, and the chief who specializes in smuggling...
Especially Charlie, after the battle in the village, Diana couldn't help but complain about him as a sniper who was not worthy of his name, but Samir's phrase "everyone has his own battle" on the side made her realize something.
Steve’s tenderness, coupled with the cuteness of the squad members, made Diana truly accept them. When she hits the road the next day, she also hopes to keep Charlie behind. The reason is not that "he will definitely be there in the future." Play a huge role in battle", but only "he can sing."
Diana is of course an upright and pure warrior, but this does not mean that she is good or bad . The audience will always enjoy the maturity and growth of characters like this.
What really tested Diana was also her primary goal in the world- how to end the war .
Innocent, she initially thought that as long as she went to the fiercest front line, she would find the "initiator" Ares of the war. After that, she pointed her finger at General Ludendorff who wanted to continue the war everywhere, thinking that he was the incarnation of Ares, killing Ludendorff would immediately end everything...
In Diana's eyes, if people like General Ludendorff and Dr. Isabel Maru are ended, the war can also end, but the truth is a fantasy -the ensuing strong sense of frustration and loss makes Ares Can take advantage of it.
Innocence has to pay the price of innocence , Diana was lost and at a loss for a while.
Fortunately she has Steve. It was he who let himself understand the most commonplace but unchanging truth in the world: how ugly humans can be, how good they can be. They can be selfish, hateful, cowardly, or magnanimous, fraternal, and fearless, depending on their belief. what.
And she, because of Steve's tenderness and courage, chose to believe in love.
Themes like this have emerged endlessly in various film and television animation creations. Considering that this is after all a commercial blockbuster featuring action, adventure, and fantasy, it is considered a success to be able to speak to this degree.
Finally, I have to say that for a long time, I have always believed that good actors can have more innate advantages, but the actual gains to the work are still limited... I have not produced "the actor's appearance and temperament can give I feel like adding a lot of points to my work (I was surprised by Anna Tove when I first watched "Edge of Crisis" last time)!
This time, I was really fascinated by Gail Gadot . Not only did she have good looks and long legs , but more importantly, the charm of Diana that she interprets is convincing, whether it’s kindness, innocence, or bravery. Good at war, and even compassionate (this world is still w(ﾟДﾟ)w as expected).
In June this "blockbuster month", "Wonder Woman" has undoubtedly made a good start. I hope that the next few hot films will also have the urge to continue to write film reviews-the expectation index from high to low is "Alien: "The Contract", "Transformers 5: The Last Knight", "New Mummy".
