"Prince of Persia" is derived from Ubisoft's classic game. Ubisoft's creative team also got inspiration from the little man in the pixel version of the original "Prince of Persia" on the red and white machine, and created "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time". A sensational game. Subsequent generations also established the status of this action game. After playing several works in this series, I think that the game version of "Prince of Persia" has three success points: the exotic Persian style, the touching grievances between the prince and other characters, and the setting of the sand of time and time reversal. And the movie version of "Prince of Persia" would be a big hit for one reason: a typical Hollywood-style production.
The movie version of "Prince of Persia" has a very imposing scene and action design. When you see the handsome prince standing on the top of the bell tower of the ancient city, a 180-degree perspective sweeps over, and the prince makes a graceful leap, just with a rope. Get rid of an enemy, basically a woman is fascinated by him. Why Wu Zun in "Jin Yiwei" loves to be cool on the roof is probably because he understands this truth. The effect of the flow of time in the "Dagger of Time" that the film strives to show is fresh at the first time (in fact, it is not new at all for gamers), but after watching it a few times, it becomes a bit boring. This reason is still the same as watching In "Jin Yiwei", the hot girl in the Western Regions takes off the same "off dance". On the contrary, the scene of the handsome prince performing parkour on the roof is very enjoyable to watch, and it turns out that real people still like to watch real people's performances. It's a pity that this film does not have professional parkour actors like "Block 13" and "Casino Royale", and the chase scene still seems to be a bit stunt. When the parkour in this kind of film can be shot as hard as the round table fighting in "Ip Man", then I absolutely love the choreographer and the actors.
Of course, the plot of "Prince of Persia" is not complicated, it doesn't pretend to be 13, and it is not literary. Although the male protagonist Jake looks like a beard and a scumbag, he can be regarded as starting from the literary film "Brokeback Mountain". Originally, the plot of this type of game movie should not be literary and artistic. The writers and directors only need to give us a story that everyone can accept, and then try to focus on adding enough seasonings to the story. This "Prince of Persia" is quite satisfactory. Although I think the plot of the original game has taken a twist, it might be good to move it directly.
The one that made me grit my teeth the most was the heroine of this film. The heroine with a turkey-like body was once the girlfriend of Ben Alfred's version of Daredevil, which is one of the worst films in the history of raspberry. She herself has also supported the TV series "Alias", which is also a tasteless American TV series. It is estimated that the fat farmers who grow corn in Nebraska like to praise her. This time, Disney did not know that it was the brain-dead executive who made this big girl with a strong American country flavor as the heroine, which made the whole film suddenly full of rich corn flavor. Of course, Disney has done a lot of brain-damaged things. First, firing Tim Burton and then paying him a lot of money to come back to film "Alice in Wonderland" is the most talked about joke. When the big girl appeared on the stage, the gauze mask was still a little reserved, and she showed her true face after a while. Not only did she grin and flirt with the prince without a princess attitude (the flirting was also without chemical reaction), she appeared in the close-up shots. The princess jade feet, the skin is even rougher than my bear feet... help. We were looking forward to enjoying delicious and authentic Persian fresh fruit, but we brought up a battered Xinjiang Dapan chicken or a turkey. Although the "Clash of the Gods" released not long ago is also a traditional Hollywood production of the big scene of rough brothers and beautiful girls, at least the heroine is still beautiful. Even if you are not very beautiful, you can have a little acting skills; even if you don’t have acting skills, it’s alright to have some beautiful action scenes; even if the action scenes are not beautiful, you should use makeup for close-up shots; even if you don’t have makeup, then… Let's deal with it... As a result, none of the previous ones were done, and the special effects processing was busy doing the camera playback.
When I read an article about the introduction of Disney's product line in Nandu Weekly, I learned that Disney, as a huge business empire, the profit of movies only accounts for a small part of the profit of the entire product line, but it guides the profit of other products. important tool. For example, when "Pirates of the Caribbean" is on fire, pirate-themed scenes can be added to all Disney parks around the world, and related video games and online games authorized by Disney can make money continuously, not to mention the related costumes, hats, Derivatives such as shoes. For Disney, themed movies are like the corporate planning department, the spire of a pyramid, and the head of a ship. As long as such a thematic film has the conditions to develop a large number of spin-offs, then the film is considered a success. From this point of view, "Prince of Persia" is very successful. Go to Hong Kong Disneyland this time next year and you'll be sure to see actors dressed as princes and a few plastic Persian machetes at a premium price at the theme store in the park. But even at Disneyland, I still wish the actress who played the princess wasn't as big as the one in the movie.
