Godzilla: 300-foot-tall Mr. Monster strikes from the bottom of the sea

Although this film is the second film of director Garris Edwards, at the time of the leap in cost, it also demonstrated his extraordinary understanding of monster movies and disaster movies. The method of not seeing the beginning and the end has proven again since "Clover Field (The Clover Archives is a translation name Tucao weak)" that as long as it is used well, it can achieve the two-in-one effect of saving money and shaping the atmosphere. A large number of elevation shots, subjective shots, and reaction shots are really unsatisfactory. But the shortcomings of the director himself are also obvious. There is often a subtle sense of separation in editing and narration. At the same time, although the story of the film focuses on the monster itself, the human story is a bit of a suspicion of deadening length in order to not be tasteless. I twice All dozed off in the cinema. Perhaps it was an oversight. I didn't quite understand the nuclear bomb strategy adopted by the US military in the film, and the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb seemed to fluctuate between the male and female mutos.

(It is inevitable that this scene did not appear, Apple City is not going well on the east coast, it can only be used for publicity) I
don’t know if it is the result of studying Lovecraft’s works recently, and everything is the shadow of the myth of Cthulhu. . However, Cthulhu can be regarded as a mythical sustenance of the historyless United States, and it is excusable to be called repeatedly. For example, the monsters in "The Mist" came out of the world of Cthulhu, and "Pacific Rim" and director Jill Model Toro also had the plan "Crazy Mountains" between him and Cameron, and he is also a fan of Cthulhu. There are many interesting and weird creatures in the quick editing of the opening film, and the two mutos are worm limbs, and the male only has bat wings. Although it is not completely copied, it can be regarded as some Cthulhu relic. The setting of this version of Godzilla is exactly like the old god in the myth of Cthulhu, not only has lived for a long time, but also appeared from the bottom of the sea. At the same time, its main function is to maintain the balance of the natural world. For this reason, Godzilla is actually a life form that transcends human existence like muto in this film. Human beings are almost meaningless to him. Its only goal is to eliminate muto and maintain balance, not to help. Humanity. In this sense, although there are many scenes of Godzilla lying down with guns and blocking missiles that may be shot at the onlookers, it has nothing to do with humans. Think about it carefully, Godzilla is almost like the superman in "Man of Steel" in this film. At first glance, it seems that he defeated the evil one and saved the common people. In fact, when the chaos hammer was hit, the building was just knocked down. I don't know how many onlookers have been hurt.
In this sense, a title in a TV shot at the end of the film is worth pondering: King of Monsters, City Savior? (King of monster, savior of city?) It
can even be said that a question mark sets the tune of the sequel.

In terms of the style of the picture, the film has a very distinct apocalyptic style, especially in the second half, the burning chariot flowing in the river and the classic paragraphs of skydiving. Under the roaring and very successful soundtrack from beginning to end, People can't help but feel fear. One of the sources of inspiration for "Pacific Rim" is said to be the "Giant Statue" made by the dark painter Goya. In my opinion, this film really captures the charm of this painting: the fighting giant in the background, the foreground The panicked humans, the gloomy and dilapidated scenes, are full of desperate emotions. Compared with "Godzilla", although the main characters of "Pacific Rim" keep on going, due to the difference in creative thinking, they still seem too magnificent.
From the performance point of view, Lao Bai is undoubtedly the most eye-catching character in the film. Although he has not played for a long time, his extremely delicate facial muscle changes accurately capture the entanglement and complexity of the characters' hearts, which is unforgettable. Honorary heroes and heroines must be eye-catching. Juliet Binoche and Ken Watanabe each receive soy sauce. In addition to Shang Nen's face, the young guy and the young lady's acting skills are also a bit unable to hold the starring title. Fortunately, the 300-foot-tall Godzilla is the real protagonist. No matter how weak the human performance is, it is not a selling point, right?
Speaking of selling points, since I have watched the two versions of normal 3D and IMAX3D, it is obvious that in addition to the bombarding sound effects, IMAX's high-definition is really powerful, plus a very bright light bulb, the film effect is quite amazing. The 3D of the film is very useful in some shots, but most of them don't have a special sense of depth, especially in some scenes that could have a sense of depth, which is very wasteful. But overall it is slightly stronger than "Edge of Tomorrow".
However, if you can see the fat and cute Godzilla open up his mouth and roar, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s 3D or not~~_(:з」∠)_
