Zombies, translated as zombies or zombies, are displayed in works of art in a human-like but disgusting form. They are similar to vampires and werewolves, and they belong to traditional Western stories. George the Father of Zombies A•Romero made a zombie movie in 1968's Night of the Living Dead. As the first zombie movie, the influence of this movie made Hollywood realize the commercial value of zombies. For most people, zombies are the most important label for the details of Resident Evil, and as the first and best film in the series, such a successful commercial film will of course not be limited to the theme of sci-fi zombies. Apocalyptic themes, the suspenseful color of suspense films, the horror effect of thrillers, and the fan base of the original book based on the game adaptation of the movie, I can only summarize these four factors for the success of the first Resident Evil movie. The zombie theme originated in the West and is now popular in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. As a movie with an excellent game modeling foundation, the zombie image in it will definitely not disappoint. The ordinary zombies and lickers appearing in the movie are at the end. The Nemesis Easter egg should get a lot of gaming parties excited. As a movie in 2002, it is no inferior to the American TV series The Walking Dead 8 years later. It simply starts from the construction of the zombie group and the construction of the zombie world view and the completion of the zombie image. Resident Evil is certainly the standout in the genre. Suspenseful plot Suspense and crime are like two tacitly coordinated magic actors who have appeared on the art stage several times, from literature to movies, from Agatha Christie to Hitchcock, Conan Doyle to the detective Sherlock. Countless crime suspense The novel was made into a film and television work. But when the commercial value of O'Henry's reversal ending is seen by writers and directors, the suspense has already involved various subjects. The creation of a suspenseful atmosphere in Resident Evil is also one of the flash points. From the first time, the face of the person who leaked the virus was not given, and Alice gradually recovered the frame-drawing and shaking memory, broken lines, and abnormal time narrative form. The audience was misled into suspicion about the real culprit who released the virus, and began to doubt the protagonist, and when the combination of the final memory explained the ins and outs of the whole thing, the audience had an unexpected sense of surprise within the cleanup. The thrill of horror, how the art of fright creates a terrifying atmosphere, how to make the audience feel that the zombies are around, how to make the audience sweat when the characters are in danger, this is the artistic purpose of the horror movie, as a horror movie, The Resident Evil part is really well done. The lengthy narrative will make the audience lose their attention. When introducing the world view and mutating after being bitten by zombies, it is combined with dynamic images and montage clips and the appearance of deceased comrades in arms, which makes the audience's interest not decrease but increase. In the form of a confidential report and narration at the beginning, the deep color scheme not only shows the world view, but also sets off the horror atmosphere. The first time audiences got to see the director's thriller art was at Red In the scene of the elevator when the queen blocked the company, she first used the extreme speed of the elevator to descend to create the first round of horror effects, making the audience think that their necks would be twisted when the elevator fell, and stopped the elevator at the critical moment, when the audience thought that in the play When the characters are in danger and relax their psychological defenses, they quickly stop the fish that have fallen, so that the audience can be caught off guard when the elevator goes up. The second is the plot of Ryan starting the train, first diverting the audience's attention, and then reflecting the teammates' mischief from an unexpected direction to achieve the purpose of scaring. And the most terrifying and exciting scene in the whole movie was staged in the action team, Red The laser attack of the queen trapped in a confined space, the one-and-a-half-minute clips are switched nearly 80 times in the corridor and the computer room. People in the corridor are killed and cut by the laser, but the people in the computer room can only work in a hurry. The background music and the alarm sound beat the nervous nerves of the audience over and over again. The close-up and close-up of the face amplify the anxiety of the characters and the audience, and maximize the horror effect and tension. Commodities and art are the ultimate in a game, there will be movies with corresponding themes, and a strong fan base will allow investors to make a lot of money. The commercial value of the first Resident Evil is huge, and it has also set off a lot in the film and television circle. Waves, but the loss of quality caused by the confusing logic of the last few parts has reduced the series to a mediocre game adaptation like "Tomb Raider" and "Assassin's Creed". The success of the first Resident Evil movie, with its compact but not out of logic plot, loyal to the game's zombie setting, Mira and Michelle's superb acting skills... And these are only worth the movie ticket price, in contrast to other similar types Or a movie of the same period, "Train to Busan", which opened the door to Japanese and Korean zombies, has a profound humanistic concern, deeply excavating the glitter of human nature under the premise of disaster, and depicting the emotional texture of the characters in great detail, so that the audience will also follow. The character of the protagonist has been sublimated; recently, Netflix's costume Korean drama "Kingdom" integrates politics, history, conspiracy, retro, zombies and one. The efficient multi-line narrative and profound political introspection are also unique among zombie films; the same is around the 2000s The special effects of "The Matrix" and "Resident Evil" are comparable, but the Matrix is a sci-fi chip inlaid with religious philosophy, so that future generations will continue to understand its core and push it into a sci-fi movie. Even the movie "Silent Hill", which was also adapted for the game, also embodies religious metaphors, humanistic connotations and guidance on real life while fitting the game, thus becoming the most successful game adaptation movie. To sum up, all the advantages of Resident Evil lie in how to cater to the audience's viewing pleasure, like a delicious fried chicken Coke, and also has a unique zombie flavor. As a successful commodity, Resident Evil is impeccable, with a total of six box office. $1.2 billion, but most of the missing artistic core of Resident Evil was replaced by special effects fights, and after the success of the first film, Alice is standing on the streets of Raccoon City, if the film side is willing to bring a mix of philosophy and art The way of human survival, with the original trendy setting and realistic special effects, Resident Evil should go further.
