Science fiction + Spielberg, what kind of "chemical reaction" will it produce? !
From the self-questioning exploration of alien life in "The Third Type of Contact", to the allegorical fairy tales of "ET Alien", to "Artificial Intelligence" exploring the meaning of consciousness life awakening, and the "Minority Report" on the future and peace Questioning the paradox of the hedge between reality.
Every previous science fiction work of Spielberg has never disappointed in terms of themes and visuals.
Today's "Number One Player", although the depth of the story is not so precipitated, it is still fascinating, rich in layers, and a strong sense of substitution.
The visual presentation of the film can no longer be described with words. Spielberg's smooth mirroring and rich imagination make people look amazing.
Today's movie special effects, the scene is getting bigger and bigger, but it does not mean that you have the best movie special effects resources to make people adrenaline, but Spielberg's "Number One Player" can do it.
There are several long shots in the racing scene shortly after the opening of "Ready Player One", which will keep you going all the way to the end.
The collisions and explosions of various racing cars made people cry out "My cao (first beep)? My cao (fourth beep)! My cao (third beep)..."
The racing scene starts from the perspective of God, and then shifts to the perspective of the protagonist, making you feel like you are in control of the whole scene, and you are on the scene again.
In some key moments, the director deliberately used slow speeds to relax the rhythm of the action scenes, making the audience feel like they were suddenly suspended in the air while sitting on a roller coaster. The heart is about to stop.
What's more moving is that the various obstacles that appeared in the racing scene, the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, King Kong and other classic screen characters, all came to crash the venue, so it was so lively.
The fragments of the decisive battle in the film are even more explosive. Thousands of characters are almost without repetition. In the end, the Gundam battles Godzilla, which is almost bloody.
"Player One" saw this, Dah Cong's mind had already appeared "lifetime", which means that in the age when he was alive, he could see the mature film industry, coupled with such a good director, brought us Such an exciting visual feast.
The plot of "Top Player" is not complicated. Simply put, it is a game player's adventure. The story driving force of the film lies in the setting of the Oasis Game Egg, which is to find three keys and get control of the Oasis.
The exploration and cracking of each game level is a tribute and love to the past entertainment culture.
In addition, the film also hides some of Spielberg's selfishness. For example, the key to the second key is the plot of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining".
Perhaps everyone is not very clear, Spielberg and the late director Stanley Kubrick, the friendship between the two of them is not exaggerated at all.
In "Artificial Intelligence" that year, it was Kubrick who had won the right to adapt and film the story, and he had long discussed the script and storyboard with Spielberg.
Just when the Kubrick storyboard script was drawn and ready to be filmed, the great director died unexpectedly in 1999.
In grief, Spielberg took over the guide of "Artificial Intelligence" and created special effects miracles in the film industry at the time. In the story of "Artificial Intelligence", it also continued Stanley Kubry. Ke's exploration of future human crime and punishment.
So when Dah Cong saw that the "Top Player" really had a "The Shining" plot, he was very excited.
This is Spielberg's most special and most cinematic way to make the most nostalgic tribute and greetings to his late friend Stanley Kubrick.
The imprints of those times have made people burst into tears of nostalgia and moving.
The characters in the games and animation movies that appeared in the film, as well as the first action-adventure game "Adventure" in the third level tribute, these are romantic love letters from "Number One Player" to gamers.
If you are a gamer, if you love games, you will be sensationalized by these sincere movie designs.
You might say that the main story line of "Ready Player One" is actually an adventure game mission, which Spielberg has filmed before. This kind of story structure can also be placed in movies such as "Indiana Jones" and "The Adventures of Tintin". , Nothing new.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with this understanding. Regarding the depth of the story, "Top Player" really can't discover any new treasures. Real and virtual discussions on the future of humanity, the film is just a little bit of water, and I don't want to dig deep.
But Dah Cong still feels that the story of "Number One Player" is very full. Although it is a traditional story structure model, the film achieves the most natural connection in the triangle relationship between characters and plot, plot and action special effects.
In addition, when the trailer for "Top Player" was released, many people started looking for various Easter eggs. In the feature film, there are so many Easter eggs that it is probably the highest record in movie history.
But Spielberg is treating these eggs and tribute stalks, and he has done the most friendly treatment to the audience.
If you watch "Top Player" as a noob, you don't understand the big slogan of "The Shining", nor "Back to the Future", "Akira", "Overwatch", "The Ghost Baby", " "Gundam" and so on. In short, you can't get a single easter egg, in fact, it doesn't affect the understanding of the whole movie.
The film does not dig holes, leave no stalks, the whole movie is dug and buried, patiently explained, and no future troubles. Give the audience a clear and complete gluttonous visual feast.
From the perspective of Dah Cong, the true meaning of the various Easter eggs in "Number One Player" is to pay tribute to the Easter eggs.
How do you understand this sentence? ——
The key to cracking the crystal key in the third level of the film is to play the 2D game "Adventure". This game is also the first game in history to have an easter egg.
Nowadays, many hidden eggs and stalks in movies are actually inspired by video games.
As early as decades ago, video games like to hide clues in the game, allowing players to find secret passages and easter eggs in the game through clues.
Players or movie fans, in order to find the easter eggs of the game or film, spend time and energy to research the work, which is the greatest respect and love for the work itself.
Movie fans looking for easter eggs outside of the movie exactly corresponds to Wade's tirelessness of the easter eggs in the "Oasis" game in "Ready Player One". "Player One" uses the protagonist to find eggs in the plot, and thanks to the fans who are looking for eggs on the side.
In addition, the process of finding the crystal key in "Top Player" tells the truth that the most important thing in the game is not to win or to win the championship, but to experience the entire game process and experience life.
And to experience life, not only in the game, but more importantly, in real life, to find your own friends and find your true love.
As expressed at the end of "Ready Player One", "Oasis" is closed two days a week in order to experience and feel the real life.
This also hints to the audience, although our current reality conditions are far from the future background set by "Top Player".
But we are also being washed away by the Internet in our time. How much time we spend on the Internet every day is just like how much time the people of "Top Player" spend in the "oasis".
