I believe that many movie fans who have experienced the golden age of Hollywood in the 1990s have extraordinary feelings for the name Nicholas Cage. Yes, maybe he is now in a state of despair, and his aesthetic and artistic qualities are not as good as before, and he has even become a laughing stock in the mouths of movie fans. But in that era, the series of Hollywood blockbusters he starred in can be said to be the starting point and enlightenment of the "Hollywood complex" of countless foreign fans. There is no complicated plot, no deep and sharp thoughts, typical Hollywood routines that can no longer be typical, but it seems to lead us to open the door to a new world. "Prison in the Air", "Leaving Las Vegas", and this "Risk to Death Island" are all such "enlighteners"-not necessarily the best, but they must be the most memorable.
In particular, this film "Brave to Death Island", in the eyes of fans who have been raised up now, is obviously just a brain-dead action YY blockbuster, but the market and the industry are almost all its brain-dead fans, no one thinks it is superficial and superficial. Boring, on the contrary, the ratings of Chinese and foreign film critics are quite high, because it really feels too in place and the effect is great, making everyone who has watched it excited, so don't pay too much attention to these details. This hugely expensive film more than ten years ago also tells the story of an American hero saving the world. However, the emotional depiction and the proper application of humor in the storyline make the film seem to be found in the big scene. Some beautiful things have a quiet and far-reaching charm in the intense and exciting plot.
This film held me HOLD from the beginning, the first minute-gunshots on the front line, radio calls for help, raging fires, and the generals’ dialogue for the rights of their subordinates in the military assembly, and finally, on rainy days, General Hammer hugged me. Flowers went to the Martyrs Cemetery to bid farewell to his wife...From childhood to now, whenever I see this scene, I will be excited, and the opening of this section, as well as all the blood swelling in this film The author of the plot’s soundtrack was Hans Zimmer, who was still unknown at the time and has now been touted to the altar. This is the charm of Enlightenment movies: Uncut treasures are buried all over the body, and just digging out any one can change the world.
At that time, Cage hadn't lost his forehead, and his body hadn't gone out of shape. At that time, I almost didn't have that kind of idiot state. It is also this movie that made me a real fan. Since then, I like Hollywood blockbusters, watching various actions and gun battles, and I like the wonderful scenes and the passionate soundtrack, although these high-tech scenes are a little bit Unreal, but it does not hinder my love for it.
It is precisely because of this movie that I remember the name Michael Bay. Like Cage, current movie fans despise his explosion, his brainless plot, and demote his changes to nothing. But looking at his early work, I can feel that the directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes production staff at that time were making movies with their heart, rather than simply using high-tech to complete the set tasks. Although there is still a technical production component, the director has spent a lot of thought on the handling of details and the grasp of the shots, as well as the storytelling and plot description, and all the efforts have finally turned into a classic action film that is difficult to surpass; The soundtrack in the movie is very passionate. In the transitions and ups and downs of the plot, the music can always be connected to the right; the visual effects are also excellent. There are no fake computer-drawn shots in the current action movies, which can be seen. The stimulating and hard-to-capture images almost all come from the strong production team behind the scenes.
Hans Zimmer, who is good at using electronic percussion to fit the plot, Michael Bay, who likes to stimulate hormones with explosions and bullet rain, and Nicholas Cage, who has a calm and precise acting. After more than two decades, these three people have long since become different. Some became gods, some were buried by the wind and sand of reality, and some still adhere to their own style, ignoring the disdain and ridicule of others. In any case, what they shared back then, that a little bit young, the purest love for movies, and the golden age created by this love, may indeed be gone forever.
