always feel uncomfortable when I go out. It is not just the difference in skin color, but also the feeling of cultural incompatibility, and this incompatibility is often kicked off by language barriers. Therefore, things like movies that convey information through pictures often make people feel a familiar feeling. Whether it is the first row of the overcrowded Beijing Wanda Cinema in the summer of 2007, or the somewhat dirty auditorium at the Odeon Cinema in Oxford, when the lights of the auditorium are dimmed, Dreamworks' iconic Logo is accompanied by a full sense of machinery. When the background sound of, this familiar feeling will immediately prepare people to a state that is most suitable for watching the movie, and the sense of incompatibility that is out of place will disappear in an instant.
This is the charm of movies.
Another advantage is that for the time being, I don’t have to worry that what I see is a version that has been clicked by a certain bureau, and I don’t need to carefully Google "XXX mainland version and the original version" after watching the movie, and then make a sudden realization: Oh, it should be like this!
Going far, pull it back. The central idea of this review is: Transformers 2 is good-looking.
For different types of movies, I have different criteria to give a good-looking evaluation. For Transformers, a commercial special effects film that can predict the plot when you close your eyes and does not have any deep meaning or metaphor, my praise criterion is that after watching it, I don’t feel fooled, but I can say a few more enjoyable and enjoyable. I am willing to free up dozens of G hard drives to download the 1080 version as a collection. A movie of this type that can meet this standard, I think it is a good movie of this type. Those that meet this standard include Transformers 1, 2, Iron Man, etc., and those that do not meet this standard include Terminator 2018 and Wolverine Prequel.
Yes, it has an old-fashioned plot. It is still a group of people who have experienced some setbacks for a goal, defeated the villain and finally reached the goal, simply scumming. Yes, some parts of it are classic vulgar scenes. For example, when Optimus Prime was pierced with a knife through his chest, I knew that he would definitely come alive. When Sam was about to die after being bombarded by a plane. There is no trace of worry either. According to the law of immortality of the male protagonist, he will definitely not die. Yes, its plot bug can be picked up by people at will. For example, no matter how big a robot is, Sam and his woman can't run away. For example, the boss of Section 7 is never hit by flying rocks.
However, so what. Such a film has weaknesses that cannot be denied, but the director and screenwriter have succeeded in making people more pleasantly surprised than doubt, and let the light of the film overshadow the flaws. Such a film is a success. From the theater to the present, the texture of the Audi R8 when it was cut open, the two sharp blades of Optimus Prime, the fighting similar to the grappling hand of the Bumblebee, the wordy and mischievous robot of the old robot, the bitch and naughty of the little robot, the Big Mac The combination is spectacular, Sam is fucking neurotic, the waves that Sam brought up when his woman was running and the 7th district boss’s sentence "Tell my mum what I did for my country", these shining places almost squeezed out those flaws. All that remains in my mind is the joy of seeing the big truck in my cabinet fighting on the screen when I was a child.
Invigorating and dripping.
In comparison, Comrade Bale let me remember the embarrassing suspected PSP and the suspected motorcycle with a USB interface, while Hugh Jackman didn't let me write down anything. People can't help but sigh that it is also a special effects film, how can the gap between the special effects be so big.
After talking for a long time, it seems that it has nothing to do with the topic I wrote down. In fact, the two words of self-sacrifice and symbolization are two words that I jumped out when I was thinking about this movie when I was listening to the previous British old men who didn't know why High was singing on the bus.
Self-sacrifice. This concept was mentioned in the first part. In the first part, the word "no sacrifice, no victory" is often mentioned, but Sam's grandfather yelled at his crew, and Optimus Prime said it after the Hornet was caught. Human feelings are like the boss of the younger brother. By the second step, such lines simply disappeared. Instead, it uses specific actions, such as Optimus Prime's self-sacrifice, such as the boss of District 7 and Sam's dedication to express this spirit, which is an improvement. Another improvement is that there is no feeling of "brothers first". The concept of sacrifice is further sublimated to the concept of self-sacrifice: what kind of spirit is this, this is the spirit of Bethune and Lei Feng combined!
Of course, a movie is a movie. If you don’t want the judges, you can really start doing it yourself. After all, the hero of the movie can’t hang in the movie. It’s hard to say that we are in flesh and blood. Before we sacrifice, we should consider wives and children, fathers and mothers. Bar.
The other is symbolization. There are basically two big symbols, good people and bad people, or "us" and "them". Then there will be some detailed symbols in "we": there are good people who are like Lei Feng (Lei Feng type), there are good people who start to be weak and then become strong (wake-up type, sometimes erection type), there are also troublesome but not Bad people (troubleshooters), there are those who specialize in innocuous quibbles (funny). The awakening type is like Sam; the Lei Feng type is like Optimus Prime and Superman; the messy type is like the staff in Change 2, the boss of District 7 in Change 1, and the Minister of Defense in Japan and China when the earth stops; the funny type is like Sam and his mother. The bad guys used to be simpler, just bad. It may be that the screenwriters feel that this is too singular, so the combination will make good people become bad and bad people become good. But in the film, these types of people are basically doing it. Everyone thinks that the new thing is just that these people are constantly changing vests.
This time, the Transformers were replaced completely, and they were directly replaced by robots. Therefore, the profound human characterization and discussion of turning a good person into a bad person and a bad person into a good person are completely ignored. Optimus Prime is the big Leifeng, and he also taught a small Leifeng Sam. The degenerates and the deceptives have no human nature to the end. The only thing is the mentality. What has changed a little is that Sam and the boss of District 7 are two people, and they are only two characters, easy to portray.
You see, just a few simple symbols can be used to make a lot of money around the world. By the way, it teaches children to know how to sacrifice for the country.
Looking at our Lei Feng can only be possessed on a certain day of the year, people can't help but sigh, it is also Lei Feng, how can the effect of Lei Feng be so different.
Having said that, people can write the Secretary of Defense and the President as SB in the movie, and make their own city like the end of the world. What about us? We also have to worry about whether the filter tyrants theater version will soon be deployed in major theaters to filter the turbulent waves of Megan Fox.
In that case, wouldn't it be a big loss.
