"Pirates" - an assembly line product with a mediocre story

"Group Pirates: The Age of Civil Chaos" easily topped the Korean box office in its first week and set a record for the highest first weekend box office of the year. This phenomenon made me begin to doubt the appreciation taste of Korean moviegoers, even to the extent that they can be "comparable" with domestic moviegoers. In China, "Breakup Master" has sold more than 400 million yuan, and there is still some word of mouth, which is unbelievable. Good movies and bad movies, no, movies and non-movies are becoming more and more blurred in the eyes of the audience. "Break Up" "Master" not only does not have a clear story line, but also seems to be Deng Chao's perverted personal show. It is just a product of excessive narcissism by atypical and well-known male stars between the first and second tiers. I admit that Deng Chao does look quite good. He is handsome, and he strongly supports the activities of the Youth Film Festival (the promotion ambassador of the First Film Festival in China), but these cannot be the reason for him to use such inferior means to play tickets. Besides, it is the first time to direct a tube and spoil his debut film. .
Similarly, about the film "Group Pirates: The Age of Civil Chaos", it is not a shoddy product, but its story is an obvious industrial assembly line product with no emotion and no sincerity. Compared with other Korean films such as starring Yin Zhengyu ( Group Pirates: The Age of Civil Chaos"), the previous starring film "Terrorist Live", is far from the same. Several turning points of the script are concocted by strict licensing model script writing, the background - leads to the protagonist - the fate of the protagonist changes - the fate of the villain changes - the protagonist is at a disadvantage (the villain is at an advantage) - the protagonist is revenge (the villain is Revenge), the story is simple to the level of digital movies produced by CCTV Movie Channel.
However, after all, it is the lineage of the heir to the developed Korean film industry-to this day, it is no exaggeration to say that the Korean film industry is developed at a level-the rhythm of "Group Thieves" is very subtle, even for audiences who have not systematically studied the play. , they can easily foresee a turning point in the story later, for example, the movie ushered in a small climax when there are forty minutes left - the thief gang kills the evil man. Obviously, with such a long time left, the thief No matter how obvious the gang's advantages are and how many people there are, the villain will never die, so this monstrous man showed his perverted fighting power and pushed the gang to a dead end. When there are about twenty minutes left, each of us will Understand, next, the film will also have an exciting climax of the male protagonist's reversal of revenge. In addition, the soundtrack of the film is inspiring. It innovatively adopts the original soundtrack of the American western cowboy movie. Whenever the plot presents a high-spirited atmosphere, the original sound will pop up at the right time, directly pushing the audience to a G-spot.
Looking back at the whole film, I thought that I was probably deceived by the film. I said it was a group of thieves, and I said it was a big official fight against the villain. In the end, the decent became Yin Zhengyu's one-man show, and the villain has always been Jiang Dongyuan's one-man show. The advantage of this is that the whole film is simple and rude, and every knife kills people's hearts. The disadvantage is that the plot falls into a rut, and it begins to gradually evolve into the title CG of a large-scale domestic 3D online game. the way. The film is about two utopias that destroy the protagonist one after another, the former is his family, the latter is his Liangshan and the group of heroes. I have to say that when the group of cute uncles in the cottage were killed, it was really abusive.
Fortunately, the two leading actors in the film are very attractive. Yin Zhengyu showed his amazing tough guy temperament in "Berlin". In the film, his combination with Jun Zhixian made the film soft and firm, just right, while Jiang Dongyuan was a model. The temperament is still good, and the facial features are full of evil spirits.
In 2013, the Korean film market entered the era of 200 million viewers. So we can understand that there are some pipeline products that were born under the stimulation of the market tide. Today, film no longer exists strictly as an art, and it begins to assume more of the responsibility of mass entertainment culture. The works under the environment of this era, "Group Pirates: The Age of Civil Chaos" are simply ordinary.
