Assassin's Chaos - "Assassin's Creed"
Introducing the American movie "Assassin's Creed" today.
The film title Assassin's Creed (2016), alias Assassin's Creed (Hong Kong/Taiwan).
The film is based on Ubisoft's famous game "Assassin's Creed" and is a game adaptation movie.
Audiences should not expect too much from this film, given that there have been few successful cases of game adaptations in history. If you are an audience who has not played the game, you only need to regard this film as a parkour action movie. If you are a fan of the "Assassin's Creed" series of games, then come and feel the leap of faith of Fa Shark.
The movie version borrowed the shell of "Assassin's Creed" and told a story of its own.
In the film, everyone is mainly divided into two factions.
One faction is the Templars, who are committed to building a society of absolute obedience, eradicating all dissenters, and using the power of the Apple of Eden to destroy the free will of all human beings to resist.
The other faction is the Assassin organization, they are in the dark, their hearts are bright, and they are bringing light to people in the dark. They have been blocking the Templars' plans to make everyone rise up against totalitarian rule.
The Knights Templar organization developed better and better, and after a few years became a big consortium with huge power. They have been searching for the Apple of Eden, wanting to realize their original dream.
The Assassin organization was withered, and in the age of Cal Lynch, he was the only one left, and he even had to rely on the power of the Templars to survive.
The Templar Order wants to unearth Callum Lynch's sealed memories in search of the Apple of Eden hidden hundreds of years ago. Callum Lynch, in the process of excavating memories, regained his ancestral wishes and tried his best to stop the Templars.
The two camps are so clearly divided, it is clear at a glance which is right and what is wrong.
The movie does not need to set up complicated interpersonal relationships and ideological appeals, and directly uses a simple and crude binary method to create two forces on opposite sides.
Under the banner of freedom and equality, the audience only needs to follow the assassins to stop the Templars and release the will of freedom in people's hearts.
As a game adaptation movie, the main focus of "Assassin's Creed" is to restore various classic scenes in the game.
The advantages of the movie are also concentrated here, and a lot of details are highly restored to the game scene. The weapons are well received, the costumes are well received, and the fighting scenes are well received. Game fans can find all kinds of shadows in the film.
As a movie, a high degree of detail is a plus, not a deciding factor.
Die-hard fans may have tears in their eyes when they visit Hagia Sophia on the ground, but there is absolutely no need for tears when watching this Assassin's Creed. The audience will never yell because of a knife or a jump. In essence, the main purpose of the movie is to tell a story, and the movies that fans are looking for are changing their shells with the help of different types of games, and action movies are still action movies.
In the "Assassin's Creed" film, there are many scenes of the protagonists holding parkour games in the historical city.
The protagonist jumps up and down the wall and jumps up and down, which can give fans a familiar feeling. Just as Prince of Persia is a gymnastics game, Assassin's Creed is a parkour game. Other than that, there seems to be nothing.
The main task of the film is to tell a good story, and it is difficult to support it with tribute and restoration alone. Especially with the film adaptation of game IP, it doesn’t matter if you start anew, the key is to be able to tell a self-consistent story.
Assassins who relied on sneak attacks became violent fighters who were tough with the elite troops. Although they played well, they lacked the taste of assassins. The first few fighting scenes are good for viewing and entertaining. With the help of Callum Lynch's memory awakening process, several action scenes are interestingly connected. The assassination at the end makes the film look top-heavy, and the feeling of unfinished business arises spontaneously.
Perhaps not being able to justify it is also part of the tribute. Don't be surprised even if there are some places in the film that viewers think may be bugs, maybe these bugs are a tribute to Ubisoft.
No thing is ture and every thing is permitted.
We work in the dark and serve the lights.
We are assassins.
