'The Expendables': A Fallen Remake

As a female version of "Ghostbusters", the film has injected the trend of the times with women as the leading factor, and has been rendering this emotion throughout the film. The most important feature is the "Saturday Night Live". The two actresses, who were included in the cast of the movie, established a rather vulgar spoof style for the movie. It felt like the movie was doing a TV variety show. The boring satire and spoof were completely immersed in It is difficult to extricate oneself from the taste of low-level kitsch. It has to be said that the movie is undergoing a change of modern style, but the texture is a bit like a TV series. The design of the whole ghost is full of cartoon characteristics, immersed in a cartoon style, exaggerated and It's a little boring, and most of the plot content of the film is kept in a mindless and childish atmosphere, mixed with the support of high-tech and academic theory, and staged an absurd and uninhibited wonderful show. Of course, at first glance, the movie can be seen as an absurd comedy. Although the plot has been following a rather serious theory of real life, once Mars hits the earth, the extraordinary spoofs and nonsense will start out of control. . We can't understand the mood of those fanatical chasers, let alone feel their inner feelings, because in our opinion, they are a group of abnormal lunatics. Perhaps it is because of the existence of this group of lunatics, that supernatural phenomenon cannot be explained by science, but through their frantic pursuit, a real answer that we think is impossible can be obtained. This seemingly absurd truth is precisely the truth. 's authenticity.

This is a family-friendly movie, so the storyline is relatively simple and direct. Coupled with the usual comedy style of Sister Mei, it is not easy to be serious and serious. This kind of comedy-style movie is like sugar. It's okay to watch it, it's a little trivial, but if you watch too much, it's unbearable. However, the actors in the movie are still acting in a serious manner. It seems like a nonsense plot, but they act so seriously. I really admire this, because they completely invade the actor's professional ethics. However, it is precisely the two actresses of "Saturday Night Live" who are best at comedy performances, but their performances in the movie didn't work out. The geeks acted, but the geeks who acted in this movie were the most unnatural. Of course, the director did not give them much room to play, and even the lines were poor. I have to say that the arrangement of the movie is to erase the traces of "Saturday Night Live". I don't know how to do it. Whether it is good or bad, although it strengthens the independence of the film style, it still gives people a strange feeling. However, the most unbearable part of the movie is that Thor plays the role of a fool. Emotionally, we can't get through it. What's more, Brother Hammer's performance is a bit exaggerated. It can be seen that he is working hard. Performing his role well, but the out of place style did not bring any vitality to the role, which is inevitable, although Brother Hammer tried very hard to expand his acting path in order to be competent for any complex role, but he did not Not all characters can be interpreted with acting skills, which is very impressive.

Because I haven't seen the original version of "Ghostbusters", I can't make a comparative evaluation of the two movies, but the movies I see do not meet the requirements of modern people for comedy. Now comedy movies are all going in a vulgar and funny way. Routes, for comedy routines composed of weirdos, have been unable to meet people's needs. Essentially this movie is one of those weirdo movies, so there's no prejudice against him. The remake of a classic movie itself is understandable. It is a pity that there are very few people who can keep up with the requirements of the times while remaking. Take this movie as an example, the movie has made great efforts in the design of the characters. Replacement, the original male characters are all replaced by female characters. Although it does not interpret the idea of ​​feminism, it still makes people understand to some extent the meaning, but the plot mode of changing the soup without changing the medicine does not It doesn't bring much freshness, especially when it is mixed with ghosts and gods. Once a joke similar to pediatrics is added, it becomes much more difficult to seriously evaluate and feel, especially the movie treats the audience as the audience. Treating it with ignorant fools makes people feel more disgusted with the movie. When I watched this movie, I felt that the director played us like fools. How old is it, why is there such a naive and ignorant plot in it? Do you really think we are stupid?

The main focus of the movie is a nostalgic feeling, so the storyline has not changed much. The only thing that has changed is that the movie has made the special effects better, and the ghost hunting weapons worn by the characters have become more and more advanced, but the characters They are becoming more and more stupid and boring. From the moment I saw the ghost in the movie, I felt that all the plots became unbearable to look at, especially the ghosts and monsters are exactly the same as those in the cartoon, and I knew that the inspiration for the creativity came from the cartoon. Originally, the movie fans of this series were teenagers in their teens, but after so many years, the youth has become middle-aged, and their cognition has become mature. If you go to watch this kind of comedy without IQ, you will be There is no feeling at all. Although the movie has recruited comedy stars from the popular variety show "Saturday Night Live" to add highlights to the movie, the movie itself is not at all suitable for the plot and IQ of the middle-aged age group. Inside, that's why the movie hits the streets. It's not that we don't like geeks, we like the kind of serious geeks, rather than pretending to be geeks for the sake of being funny, I like "Forrest Gump", which is also a geek, because he Reality is not contrived, but interpretation is a kind of authenticity. Times are changing and movies are also changing. We only hope that while remaking classic movies from the past, we can really put our minds into it and put our emotions in it, instead of just taking it for soup instead of medicine. Perfunctory, we are not fools, we can distinguish between good and bad.
