This is another film adaptation of a young best-selling novel. With "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" a lot of money, then "The Hunger Games" once again broke the box office record, and also made a young Oscar by the way. The movie queen came out (although this movie queen didn't win the award with the help of The Hunger Games), this is enough to allow more and more booksellers and film dealers to target the youth group. After all, at this age of strong hormone secretion, it is normal for the brain to be filled with all kinds of mysterious and magical scenes. Under the stimulation of powerful own hormones, it is also a very natural choice to go to read books and buy tickets. In the face of huge market opportunities, businesses naturally have no reason to stay the same. So in recent years, in addition to the above works, there have also appeared, "Divergent", "Percy Jackson", "Ander's Game", "Beautiful Life", "Host", "Holy Grail Artifact: City of Bones", etc. Among them, there are many sequel works, uh... most of the visual inspections are the death of eunuchs.
Only the "old fox" searchlight appeared at the beginning, and he found a little fresh meat that has gradually grown up and has accumulated popularity in the field of TV dramas for many years-Dylan O'Brien plays the protagonist of the film, and is supplemented by a group of invincible youth Fresh meat, including the little handsome man who appeared in the "Game of Thrones" in the fire drama "Game of Thrones" and was announced soon: Thomas Sangster, enough to see the scheming FOX's attention to this film. Knowing the box office revenue of this film, you can safely wait for the sequel to arrive.
So what is it that makes "Maze Moving", which was originally a "cannon fodder", no cannon fodder? This has to start with the positioning of "adolescent best-selling". For commercial profit, most of these literary works cater to the needs of readers of this age-fantasy, and fantasy can be divided into two directions: subverting reality of the world view fantasy And emotional fantasy. Let me talk about the latter first. As mentioned in the previous article, at an age when hormone secretion is strong, who has never dreamed of romantic love? Ever since countless works began to play the love card, from the famous "Twilight" to "True Love as Blood" adaptation of the original "Southern Vampire" to "Host", "Beautiful Creatures" and so on, "The Hunger Games" will also Emotion is an important thread throughout. Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the first protagonist is often set as a female, and then surrounded by perfect boyfriends of digital or humans or unknown species. And the first protagonist is a male work, except for the founder of the mountain "Harry Potter" from the beginning to the end, "Percy Jackson" died in the second part, and "Ander's Game" was seen to die...
but any Things have the opposite side. At the moment when almost all youth adaptations are showing off emotions, most of the time at the beginning of "Maze Moving" is equipped with completely male characters. It can be said that the emotion card has been completely abandoned. Nor will it be in such works), the emotional clues are completely erased, thus spending more pen and ink on the main storyline. It can be said that the painstaking practice of one's own internal strength has brought gratifying results.
Apocalyptic crisis has always been a popular theme in recent years, and more and more works of this theme are spreading to young people, such as "The Hunger Games", "Divergent", etc., and this film is based on a man-made Unfolding in the apocalyptic experimentation field, such stories all reflect the primitive restlessness of modern people in the material and civilized life. In addition to the popular science and technology pessimism, more and more tragic works appear in the field of television and film. While inheriting this emotional tone, the film has begun to return to the "IQ" test mode. A group of young people are advancing all the way in the adventure of IQ, courage, and teamwork. One level is cleared, and another level is reached.
A film that should be almost completely shot in the studio, but uses a large number of wide-angle and deep-focus lenses to create an exceptionally grand scene of the maze. From time to time, there are low roars and roars that seem to come from the depths of the hell. Roaring, every time a gust of wind hits the door before closing, the labyrinth camp becomes an extremely fearful underworld. However, after the male protagonist came in at all costs and broke the original balance, this forbidden area for 3 years was not so terrible. In order to allow more school-age youths to enter the theater, although in the final stage of the film, when the camp was destroyed, there were continuous scenes of teenagers being attacked by maze guards, and there were hoarse screams from time to time, but there was absolutely no bloody scream. The scene, according to the trend of Hollywood's more and more heavy mouths in recent years, this situation should have been the scene of red sugar water spraying all over the sky, and the scene of broken limbs and internal organs splashing with the wind, and the most extraordinary thing in the film is the maze guard monster being crushed to pieces. After that, it was a little disgusting.
In a well-planned trap with one ring and a bigger ring, several protagonists flew to the next level. The despicable old witch fooled the young people with a play. They will be lying in a lie. Keep exploring, what will your future adventure be like? Wait and see!
