In the past two years, Hollywood's "old ginger style" has been getting stronger and stronger: the first two "Expendables" films were global hits, especially in mainland China, which was unexpected. Stallone, Schwarzenegger and other popular tough guys in those days returned to the big screen to fight blood and blood. It was astonishing that the zombies appeared on the street at first, but after watching it, it was like returning to the era of video halls in the 1980s and 1990s. The realistic action style is applauded. Corresponding to the splendid reappearance of this group of muscular men, another action film "Red Flame Battlefield", which also gathers many old movie stars, is also very popular, but the interesting style is completely different: the former is masculine, masculine, simple, and straightforward. Violent carnival; the latter is much more technical: fighting wits and courage, acting PK, both action and humor...
Therefore, not only the male audience is addicted, but the little girls who are sitting at the movie will also laugh and watch. It is suitable for all ages, both men and women.
The reason why there is such a different style difference, look at the cast list of "Red Flame Battlefield 2", you will understand: Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Helen Miller... …
RED means - Retired Extremely Danganrous. This is a legendary comeback story about the CIA's retired veterans, translated as "Sunset Red Rangers", it is all appropriate and interesting. The story of the sequel started from the disclosure of military secrets by WikiLeaks, and logically cut into and brought out the story of military confrontation, nuclear danger and espionage in the Cold War era, so this group of CIA veterans who were retired and dangerous were unfortunately involved, and then they fought again. The story setting is very cleverly and effectively stitched, the distance between the young audience and the unfamiliar background and the unfamiliar group of old movie stars, based on the young people who grew up watching "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" and "Transformers" Only people are interested in caring about what these immortals are going to do! This is the first step in the success of the film.
Because it is adapted from a comic, the character settings are naturally close to the tastes of young people: Malkovich's "Uncle Weird", Helen Miller's "Nuke Old Lady", Zeta Jones' "Royal Sister" Fan Er, Hopkins' "black-bellied big boss", and even the heroine Mary Louise Parker's old girl pretending to be a "cute girl", Korean star Lee Byung-hun's "perverted muscular violent man"... These audiences all accepted the order, Everyone has an eye and a heart.
In contrast, under the background of too many wonderful greens, the male protagonist Bruce Willis performed quite well. Although this big bald guy is tough and cute, he is like a high school forward on the football field. , on the contrary, it seems that it is too rigid in the afterglow of "Die Hard" and lacks new ideas. Fortunately, even if it is quite satisfactory, the hands in several action scenes are still not old. Of course, this is inseparable from the inspiration of Li Bingxian, who is known as the world's No. 1 professional killer. Speaking of which, I would like to praise the casting again, Lee Byung Hun really chose well. Not only as a popular male star in Korea, he can drive young audiences, especially female audiences (when Lee took off his shirt to reveal his ketones and abdominal muscles, the screams from the female audience in the field were really wave after wave). What's more, the male audience is so cool - Lee Byung-hun's skills are really good! After all, it is a young man, that speed, that strength, that sturdy and powerful, the tempering of Korean movies over the years really came in handy. Li Bingxian really contributed some of the most exciting action scenes to the film, and the future world film industry will have a good reputation. To put it aside, the "Korean face" of the Korean actor is really close to the cold-blooded perverted killer. There is no way, it is too convincing. So much so that in the end, Lee Byung Hun wanted to choose justice and give up the plot of murder, which was a little less convincing.
For the male audience, Zeta Jones' stunning appearance should be worth the price of the ticket (after all, it's not enough to watch old men): the hot body of the mature woman, the charm of the superstar, the Porsche drift car chase scene... ...Of course, I personally prefer Hopkins's play. He is really domineering as a neuroscientist. Thanks to his old-fashioned acting skills, he can enhance the charm and thickness of the latter part of the film. It is not a simple hormone injection.
Speaking of which, the veteran's journey is really not easy: spanning more than half of the world, filming on three continents and five countries, and tossing the sky into the ground like "The Bourne" and "007", fortunately, this is not only a dangerous journey , or a honeymoon trip. Mary-Louise Parker played a cute girl and didn't want to be a housewife, but she loved being a new sister and her husband as a desperate mandarin duck, so she made jokes along the way, which made the film both thrilling and funny. When the film was interrupted to join Zeta Jones, the former goddess, the love triangle was so jealous... Almost everyone forgot to come out and play for their lives, but the multiple emotional lines and female perspectives really added a lot of things that action films lacked in the film. Different fun. Audiences who have seen it, I believe they all agree with this, this is perhaps the most popular part of the film for female audiences. And if you want to win a woman's heart, you can secure the box office money.
