To say that the movie I am most looking forward to in August, it must be "The God of Cars".
Not to mention that until I watched the film, the whole Internet was full of words about this movie, "this year's best drag racing show", "regret not watching it", "original praise",
There is no need to mention the cast of big names, such as "President Shimoki" Kevin Spacey, "Madman" Jon Hamm, "Blind" actor Jamie Fox, "Cinderella" Lily James, Aisha Gonzalez, the glamorous dancer in the drama version of "A Dawn", and the cute little meat Ansel Elgort in "Fault in the Stars"... The light is directed at the director Ai Degas Wright is enough to attract me to the theater. This is the geek director who filmed the "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy"! "Zombie Shaun", "Hot Blood Detective", and "End of the World" are full of all kinds of blood plasma and full of British humor, highly recommended by friends who have never seen it.
With full expectations, I walked into the theater, but I didn't expect to leave with a broken eardrum and tired nerves. The following content contains spoilers! ! Please watch carefully! ! ! The protagonist of the story, the big baby, is a full-time driver of a criminal gang. He is very talented and good at all kinds of difficult drifting and flicking maneuvers. He has never missed the road and created a legend of the viaduct humiliating police cars.
In order to make the genius more aura of the protagonist, the film sets that the big baby has not only complied with the unspoken rule of "the protagonist's parents die" because of a car accident when he was a child, but also left the big baby with the aftereffects of tinnitus, which can only be relieved by wearing headphones all the time. , So I always bring my own BGM in the show, and by the way, I have an amazing sense of music and dance skills against the sky.
His mother was a waiter and amateur singer before his death. She left a precious cassette and gave the big baby the bonus of beat + DJing. In addition to dancing and driving, the DJ level of the big baby is also enough to kill the black fear in China. The stepfather is a deaf-mute person in a wheelchair. He can not only show the big baby's meticulous care for his relatives, but also give the big baby the same talent for lip-reading. Of course the genius will not be buried. When the eldest baby was 12 years old, he stole a car and stolen it into the hands of the criminal leader Dao. This person is usually very cautious, and he does not use the same people for big things, but a bunch of people. Permutation and combination...
Since encountering Dabao, Dabao has not changed his driver in ten years. Whether it is robbing a bank, an armored car or a post office, Dabao will always be Dabao’s exclusive driver. He was spoiled in words. When his teammates dissed him, he blocked his guns. Without the big baby, he drove. Brother Dao didn’t even have a good meal. But it was going to rain. Niang was going to marry. The big baby grew up and fell in love with the restaurant next door. Er Ya, the beautiful waitress of the elders, started to think of washing her hands in the golden basin, and began to make tricks in Brother Dao’s extremely vicious small team—something to hide bullets for the onlookers, to help the old lady carry bags, to give a word to the post office aunt. These actions have caused strong dissatisfaction with the black brothers of the comrades-Laozi are bad guys! What kind of trouble do you want to learn from the red scarf to do good deeds!
So the black brother began to target the big baby everywhere, scaring the girl he liked, sitting in his stepfather’s wheelchair, and grabbing the precious cassette left by his mother, and finally successfully turned on the big baby’s dark revenge mode, demonstrating how to complete the task. At the same time, he killed his teammates one by one. Under his skillful operation-the unlucky teammate No. 1 black brother died of sticking a stick in his forehead, the unlucky teammate No. 2 big breasted sister, died of random shooting, the unlucky teammate No. 3 Dao brother, Died from blocking guns for the big baby (true love!), hapless teammate No. 4 Wall Street Elite, died in a parking lot crash + explosion. That’s right, the evil teammates died in the end, and the protagonist and his girlfriend have lived a happy life from then on... No, it’s impossible to pass the trial, so the big baby must choose to bow his head at the critical moment and spend five years. After being in prison, I had a happy...bail time with my girlfriend. I have to say that I am a bit disappointed. In addition to the eardrum torment caused by the film's overly full soundtrack and the excessive sound of the auditorium, the film's story and characters are even more unacceptable. For example, the waitress in the restaurant that the big baby looks at does not seem to have any memory other than the sweet songs, and the description of the love between the two people only stays on the surface, as if you only need to look at each other in the crowd, you can meet in the world. Therefore, the part of reluctant to part with love and reunion after a long time is also totally unmoving.
For example, the gun battle between criminal gangs and arms dealers seemed a bit boring. It was a gun battle entirely for the sake of a gun battle. The reason for the fight was that the black brother believed that the arms dealer was a police undercover, and Dao did not explain until after the guns and ammunition was robbed of the guns and ammunition. The police he bought, so why can't you say it earlier! For example, Brother Dao was initially portrayed as a stinky profiteer who only tried to force good fortune into a prostitution. He even threatened the safety of the life of the big baby’s loved one. He looked like a big boss, but in the end he was willing to stand up for the big baby and let people touch him. Not thinking about it, maybe this is love! The result of a weak story and a large number of soundtracks is that it makes people feel that the soundtrack is too full, the emotions cannot be concentrated, and it is prone to fatigue. Three times it was distracting, and this is exactly what happened in "The God of Cars". However, even though there are various pitfalls, "The God of Theft" is not a bad film. In fact, the film was released abroad in June. Up to now, the IMDb score still has a high score of 8.2, and Rotten Tomatoes has maintained 94%. Director Edgar Wright’s talent is indispensable for the freshness of the film. As the so-called ghosts are self-willed, from the smuggling of pop culture stalks in "The House of Nothing", to the spoof genre film of "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy", to the "comic" movie of "Scott the Crooked Boy" , Edgar Wright can always bring a refreshing experience to the audience with his movie language full of otaku feelings. The concept of "The Thief of Cars" began with a song that director Edgar Wright heard when he was a child, "Baby Driver" by Simon & Garfunkel. Like "Guardians of the Galaxy", "The Thief of the Galaxy" is also a movie that has a playlist first. The difference is that the plot of the latter is also conceived entirely based on the playlist, using one of the leading actors, Kevin. In the words of Spacey, "This is a drag racing movie driven by music". On the one hand, this may explain the messy sense of the story of "The God of the Car", and on the other hand, it can reflect Wright's "artistic Highly bold"-there are not a few people who dare to think like this, but he probably doesn't have anyone who dares to do this. Innovating the definition of car chasing action genre, not to mention, "The God of Cars" from the perspective of completion is enough to be called one of the best drag racing scenes in recent years. The drag racing scenes are all real shots, and the actors listen to the rhythm of the soundtrack when filming, and the final effect of the film is also proportional to sincerity, which is the best this year.
And to be honest, at normal volume, the original soundtrack of "Car Theft Auto" is also great, and I am in a good mood for two hours. So, although for me personally, "The God of Cars" is not the best work of Edgar Wright, but the courage to explore new possibilities of genre films is still worthy of praise, and I also plan to go to the second brush and listen to it. Listening to songs is not bad.
