Uncompromising and awkward monster movie

1 The overall framework of the story is too complicated to build, and everything is thrown into it. Family emotions, nuclear energy crisis, natural balance, etc. From this it can be seen that the director is dissatisfied with the superficial visual effects and wants to play some deep mapping films. But this is contradictory in the environment of commercial blockbuster creation. You have to meet the restrictive commercial requirements such as the audience restrictions required by the film executives. It also needs to add the individualism of the original independent environment to it. It is difficult for the original audience to accept something that is made without compromise. For example, the choice of narrative perspective in this film is very embarrassing. It is not a big perspective of the Pacific Rim, nor is it the small monster of its original work. Perspective. It is between the two-"human interspersed perspective." So when people’s anticipation of the monster war just started, the director decisively switched to the male lead’s house, sang, xin, bing, and mia, using the family perspective of TV screens. Narratively. This kind of visual transition of the gap really makes people shoot (ji) case (du) called (bu) jue (shuang). It is this uncompromising concept of creation that has also created a blind storytelling of irrespective priority. Subsequently, the plot is scattered and the relevance is too weak. In fact, there are some fragments that are extracted independently. For example, in the middle of the film, there is a scene where the male protagonist meets the Muto monster on the high-speed rail bridge. The lens processing is very personal and stylized, and the drama contact between humans and Muto. The sense of horror created by this prominent psychological atmosphere is unmatched by sensory processing. There is also an impressive section-skydiving: exquisitely symmetrical composition, apocalyptic color toning, reverse light, subjective lens switching, appropriate selection of scenes, and high-profile music. These are the indispensable elements to create bright spots.
2 Talking about the design of the play, this is actually disappointing to me. Godzilla's huge body made it cumbersome and unable to flexibly show its smooth movements and combat. Even then you can use scene props to add interest. I can't feel it at all. Some are just a few tricks, no impression after throwing and biting. Where is the high-energy breath (although there are some bugs in the setting), it is indeed amazed by its visual effects. So if you can’t play the action, you can play other things!
3 The performance of the actor felt that Lao Bai was a bit too much, and his emotional power was too violent to set a cliché when he touched the burst point. The flashpoint of the wife's death is understandable, but the emotional appearance after that is not too much to touch the setting. The performance of the protagonist, his wife and others was disappointing, and the performance of props was too rigid. In fact, it has caused such a large number of settings that cannot be separated from the characters. The relationship between the core characters is not very involved, and the character setting is far-fetched and deliberate in promoting the story, and some do not even promote the role of wife. I don't know what this role is for the main plot. This is the conflict and development of the story caused by the inability to come out of the role. So everything is too deliberate and props made so that the actors can only helplessly adapt to this painful character setting. As for why Godzilla is only interested in Mutto, there is no strong explanation for him in the film. It is only attributable to the macroscopic theory of balancing the forces of nature, which is a false void. In fact, I discovered that Godzilla's role setting can be explained by his transliterated name. The name "Fuck it" seems to reveal that he is a member of my big FFF team, so that the setting that Godzilla will come to stop in anger as long as Motto sends out a mating signal is powerful. Theoretical support. Burning the beast eggs with pig's feet is a profound implementation of the core regulations of the F regiment. Why does Godzilla only help the male lead? This question has been clearly explained. Because at the same time members of the F group! Is it their common goal to unite and deal with heterosexuality?
4 is another pseudo 3D film, the three-dimensional effect is basically zero, and the picture is very dim. Really regret it! But now it seems that I can't see any 2D lineups anymore. It seems that the theater manager is well versed in the idea of ​​"people stupid, money come quickly"! The visual effects are just like that.
5 I lowered my expectations before watching, but I was still disappointed. Maybe the trailer and promotion are too good. No thanks for 7 points!
