From March 22 to July 22, which happened to be 4 months apart, the White House scored twice. It was occupied by criminal gangs and demolished twice. Its repair ability is astonishing. As early as "Independence Day" and "2012", Roland Emmerich has already destroyed the White House twice. This time, he performed a hat trick, changing the usual understatement of "destroy in seconds" and directly built the stage on the In the White House, both civil and military defenses are available. It is said that the investment of funds is high, and the first-line lineup is also excellent, but it always seems to feel a bit sorry for the title of "Invincible Destruction King". Apart from the three groups of bridges, including the demolition of the Capitol Building, the fall of the Black Hawk, and the destruction of Air Force One, it is almost impossible to pick out where the money was lost. When watching the movie, I spent nearly half of the time acting and dancing, and what I thought most was undoubtedly how would he shoot if Michael Bay was directed? ——Let's just raze the Capitol first, and then turn the White House upside down, and then move the scene to the president's underground shelter. During this period, he adopted the tactics of attacking the west, involving some armed forces. Take the Pentagon plus half Washington DC, and eventually multiple nukes self-destruct in the last second of reaching their targets. The more you think about it, the more messy it becomes. It can be seen that just relying on the theme of "Bombing the White House" can make people think a lot, trying to mix and match all existing and possible imaginary ideas. It is estimated that when the British watch it, they will think about bombing Baijinghan Palace; when the Russians watch it, they will think about bombing the Red Square in Moscow; when the Japanese watch it, they will think about bombing the Yasukuni Shrine; when we watch it, they will think about... Of course I want a harmonious society.
It is very necessary to take out the English titles of the two crash works, one to prevent confusion, and the other to treat the sound properly. Please ignore the mainland translation of "Shocking Crisis". If you don't know it, you might think it's a horror movie or a science fiction. piece. Anthony Fuqua's version 4 months ago, titled "Olympus Has Fallen," starring Gerard Butler, well-known to audiences as a tough guy from "Spartan 300"; Roland Amory The odd version, titled "White House Down," features double reeds by Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx. From the title, the two have exactly the same meaning. As far as the overall structure is concerned, the completion of "White House Down" is far more than "Olympus Has Fallen", Emmerich is not playing special effects scenes at all, but is like a low-cost action movie that has long been boring." Black and white collocation, work is not tired" the number of ways. For this reason, the rhythm of the whole film and the atmosphere that should always be in a close state are perfectly diluted by the sometimes startling shootout and sometimes self-deprecating humor. The PG-13 rating seems to is well deserved. On the other hand, the R-rated "Olympus Has Fallen" gives the impression that the younger generation can be directly regarded as a comedy. Especially the rhythm of occupying the White House in 15 minutes, regardless of those heaven-defying bugs, I have to admit that the director's ability to schedule scenes must be first-class. Afterwards, headshots and blood splattered all over the screen, killing no nonsense, no ink, and ruthless attacks. The scene of corpses lying everywhere at the entrance of the White House was frozen several times. And as a commercial film giant, Emmerich knows how to make a lot of money in order to expand the scope of the film. As a result, the scene where the surrounding of the White House is surrounded by ancient and warm-hearted people naturally appeared. At least through the expression of the film, I can't see that they have anything to be nervous about.
The villain image in "Olympus Has Fallen" carries the negative effects to the end, such as fake terrorists, it is easy to say goodbye. The villains of "White House Down" are mixed, and the leading guy has even passed his sixtieth year and is still fighting for his son, and the center of gravity is easily lost. For this reason, the peak point of the film's climax has been pushed and pushed again and again. In the strict sense, it is basically "Little Lolita waving the flag", which can be regarded as the real G-spot of the audience. But having said that, Emmerich didn't play all the blame, and the performances of Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx were enough to save him face. As a non-staff agent, if the president is unfortunately killed this time, the Pentagon will hold a press release and declare that the rescue operation failed miserably because it was disturbed by temporary workers. Channing Tatum, who was born in dance, is by no means a tough guy, but he is also strong and powerful. It is actually very easy to beat Xiaoqiang who can't be killed. He can dodge all bullets by constantly turning over and jumping, plus the powerful thinking logic of the audience. , It looks like it's heading for the PG-13. On the other side, Jamie Foxx is definitely the highlight of the film. He goes into battle in person, and is proficient in shooting, hand-to-hand, and hand-to-hand combat. The feuding president (played by Aaron Eckhart) is much more interesting. In addition, the indispensable family drama really made the little loli a big fire. Don't think about it, this is the family-friendly element that has been tried and tested for thousands of years.
"White House Down" claims to have twice the investment of "Olympus Has Fallen". If it is really full of gold and silver, even taking into account the rise in prices and the decline in the US dollar exchange rate, the efficiency this time is still extremely low. Thinking of Spielberg's "The War of the Worlds" many years ago, most of the money was spent on a dismembered Boeing 747 and a cruise ship. It seems that the old masters don't feel distressed when they spend money, and they don't care about spending money. It can be so artistic, so unpredictable. Roland Emmerich has an interesting homonym: "I suck (you) can't help", as for the answer sheet presented in "White House Down", let "Roland Emmerich? I suck (you) can't help" The symbol in the middle is the equal sign or the not equal sign, I think as long as it is paid for, it is reliable.
