I recently finished watching the movie "As God Said" and all 110 episodes of the updated manga. It's a pity after reading the manga, because the movie could have been made better. Of course, the movie also has its own highlights. I especially like the first level of the tumbler in the movie. The splattered blood and dark red blood beads scattered all over the place. There are corpses overlapping in the classroom, much like the scene in the movie "Confession" where classmate B wanted to blow up the school hall full of corpses of students. Relatively speaking, comics are relatively simple headshots, not as gorgeous as movie scenes.
The following is a comparison of the similarities and differences between the movie and the comics on the basis of no spoilers (the reference to the movie is limited to the trailer as much as possible), as well as the last two original games in the movie.
The first game is of course the very handsome Dharma tumbler. The details of the tumbler's eyes have been changed in the movie, and I personally think it was a success. A closer look is a little disgusting and creepy. The staples around the eye sockets remind me of the big-eyed woman in the movie "The Teacher's Favor". The scene where the tumbler jumps out of the teacher's neck is also in the comics. The movie looks very good, and it is a perfect interpretation of the comics. There is also the glass bead after the headshot in the movie, which is a great innovation and improves the difficulty of the game. The curly-haired classmate who died at the first level in the movie and the recollection of the plot are really smooth. So far the movie can be said to have survived and the game has cleared.
The part where the game meets (the protagonist takes the girl from the first game field to the second game field) feels that the movie is a little delayed, but the details of smashing the glass with the chair seem to indicate the daily changes and the unchangeable nature of fate.
The second game in the comics is also in the original movie, but the details have been changed. Anyway, I think most of them are bad changes. Because of the change, there is a huge bug, that is, the appearance of the murderous classmate. The cats in the movie are much cuter than in the comics, and the details of the rope behind them are amazing. However, the movement method is a little unscientific. When it comes up, it quickly kills a lot of people. However, in the comics, the cat has a fixed movement method at the beginning, so the protagonist can understand the boss's movement trajectory, obtain the avoidance skills, and move smoothly in the gym. Friction and friction on the ground, the hero saves the beauty. Later, the cat's movement method suddenly changed, just like the boss will enter a violent state after losing half of his blood. In fact, the movie can highlight the sound of heavy crawler movement at the beginning of the cat's movement, and then the action is relatively stiff, giving play to the audio-visual advantage. In this way, we can also understand how the protagonist thinks in order to avoid the cat's attack and not die. In the movie anyway, the protagonist moves away super fast, just like showing off the protagonist's brilliance and acting as a rogue. In fact, the protagonist Shun-kun in the manga is a very responsible person. In the movie, I can only see the protagonist's halo and weakness, and the impression of weakness is created by the actor's face... By the way, I don't think he is particularly handsome, but the childhood sweetheart girl is quite good-looking. By the way, I don't think the clip in the movie about wearing a mouse costume and being able to understand the cat's speech is not clearly expressed. In addition, the shooting star will appear, and the filming of the shooting scene is very good.
In the third pass, the entire structure of the movie has undergone huge changes. In the comics, the protagonist was rescued after finishing the first two levels in the school game, and then played the third level in a separate hospital. Stick-shaped puppets were flying all over the sky, and irrelevant people in the hospital were killed. The protagonist of the movie was immediately stunned and teleported into the cube. He was locked in a room with Bob, a cannon fodder girl and a junior high school classmate who obtained the computer from nowhere. The number of puppets increased from three to four (there are only three puppets in the comics). , the difficulty is lower), the way the protagonist clears the customs is also different. Anyway, the customs clearance method in the movie is inexplicable for my low IQ, so I won't talk about it here. But I really don't understand why Mao's film clearly has sounds that can express the different timbre characteristics of the puppets, as well as the rotation of the puppets, and also let the protagonist play with flowers and pass the level in an inexplicable way? Later, in the comics, there was also a jumping rope game. I think this is very good. When I was in elementary school, I always felt very scared when I participated in the big rope jumping activity in my class. But the movie didn't, I changed the seven keys to open the door, and this one was okay.
By the way, the striped suit worn by the cannon fodder man who likes to eat parsley in the movie seems to be the real high-IQ scholar who the protagonist met in the game [Hopscotch] at the back of the second movie.
The fourth game, the original movie, seems to be from Hokkaido, tell the truth, White Bear. In the manga, the Manneken Pis 4vs4 tug-of-war is probably a scene that cannot be filmed in a movie (laughs). I think the white bear level is very similar to the Tengu Labyrinth in the game [Hell Change] played by the protagonist in the second part (the second protagonist in the room looking for Tianma's classmate realizes this scam, and this scene is also impossible to make in a movie. Scenes). Perhaps the director was inspired by this. The confession of the junior high school classmates in this movie looks so bloody, alas, it really feels like a confession for the sake of confession. There is also the action of the white bear, which is like skipping frames - is the budget not enough to feed the director?
The fifth game movie is purely original. But I saw the Matryoshka doll, the mascot hosting the game, in the comics. Also in the back of the second part, there is a picture saying that all the elves all over the world have been dispatched and started to kill human beings. In the spectacular big picture composed of many small pictures, one of them is the Russian nesting doll that appeared in the movie. I think the fifth game of kicking the jar in the movie is a childhood memory, and the setting is beautiful. Eating popsicles at the end is also good. There are no popsicles in the comics, it's just a lottery. The fifth level of the manga is a game by Urashima Taro. At the end, the line [luck] is also consistent with the comics. It can be said to be the same destination. Although the four and five games are different, the movies are all inspired by the original comics.
In the movie, the otaku who are very rude to their mother, and the homeless uncle just made soy sauce, so that the audience can't understand why. In fact, they are also important characters in the comics, and the uncle with the weird hairstyle on TV (I always think he looks like a character in Osamu Tezuka's comics) is also an important role in the first comic.
The ending of the first manga was particularly touching. Friends who can't read the movie, go read the comics, you won't be disappointed. If you haven't watched the movie, I recommend reading the manga first. The second part of the manga has changed the protagonist, which is the story of the high school students who didn't go to school when the incident happened and were called together to play games, which is also very exciting. The new protagonist also has a strong fighting neurosis beside him. Called the ugly three classmates. In the end, the two protagonists meet, fight against the gods, play games or something.
Tian Gu in the first part and Chou San in the second part are so loving. Speaking of which, there is a character like a murderer, why not let Masanobu Ando play it... Do you think that the curly-haired fighting maniac in the movie "Sinru" is very similar to Ando in "Battle Royale"?
Also, have any of the students who read the second comic found that the protagonist and Saiin were playing the face of "Detective Di Renjie" minute by minute? It's not about plagiarism, it's about inspiration. Some stalks are really easy to think of. Either you grab it first, or I grab it first.
