Therefore, the mainstream aesthetics in Hollywood action movies has always stayed away from the fists and closely linked to the themes of guns and bullets.
"The Matrix" contributed a new entry to film art: bullet time. Computer special effects make the process of shooting, flying, and hitting bullets complicated and dazzling. This effect makes many commercial film producers and consumers feel the powerful temptation of "bullet aesthetics" at the same time. How to play with guns and play with violence? To be cooler and more provocative of aesthetic appeal, has since become the expectation of the two parties' conspiracy.
The bullet time in "The Matrix" only slows down the shooting speed of the bullet, and does not change the trajectory of its shooting. In "Wanted", the bullet aesthetics has a new concept-bullets can not only intercept each other in the air , And its shooting track is no longer a straight line. It begins to turn into an arc. Even if a fat pig blocks a thin goat, the bullet can bend the fat pig and hit the goat. It is almost a modern and mechanized one. "Across the mountain to fight cattle."
In fact, Hollywood’s "bullet aesthetics" tradition has a long history. After being enlisted by Hollywood, Wu Yusen, after inheriting Melville’s elegance and solitude, formed his own unique signature style: windbreaker, white pigeon in slow motion, and fight. With double guns with endless bullets, this formula has created a unique Wu's "violent aesthetics" and allowed him to enter Hollywood, and has influenced Quentin Tarantino, who are keen to interpret violent scenes, and other Hollywood directors.
The plot of "Wanted Criminal" is simple and boring, and won't give you too much surprise, but its "bullet aesthetics" is further astonishing after Wu Yusen and "The Matrix". Two of the shots can at least leave in the history of violent visual development. Trace, the role played by Angelina Jolie, shot in a round room, the bullet cruised through a large 360-degree circle, and after passing through the heads of many people, she shot herself to death, not only strangely It's the bullet's flight path, and at the same time, the bullet's super penetrating power-you know, the human skull is quite hard.
The beginning and the end of the film are both a super long-distance shooting similar to the "Knife Thousand Miles, Take the Leader" style in the martial arts novels of the original poster of Huanzhu. The lead killer played by James McEvoy, the half-goat man in The Chronicles of Narnia, in order to avenge his father, at the end of the movie, a sniper rifle was placed at an infinite distance, and the threaded bullet shot was at least halfway through. This city kills the opponent like a precision-guided missile-and the coolest thing is that the ending shot is "retrograde", that is, after the bullet kills the person, it returns to the barrel of the gun along the original route. The same shot was also shown at the beginning of the movie, but that time, it was the opponent who killed his father-it seems that the "bullet aesthetics" also pays attention to echoes before and after.
Whenever a foreign director enters Hollywood, he must have his own unique skills. The British humor + British drama nourishes the intricate relationship between the characters, while his elder Hitchcock is suspicious. The spokesperson, Luc Besson of France relied on cold spears and "not too cold" killers; New Zealand's Peter Jackson's killer is heavier than the weight of the whimsy, Lee Ang is a Chinese and Western culture A good blender, Chamaran of India continues to contribute to disaster-ridden science fiction films...
The director of "Wanted Order" is Beckman Betov from Russia, and he was conquered by this sharp and innovative visual effects. Hollywood. This is also the blessing of movie fans all over the world. Hollywood’s constant bombardment of visual effects really needs the supplement of such fresh blood.
