Not leaving the author| Thank you for the fish
Speaking of Hollywood's greatest directors, a lot of people will be referred to the history of Steven Spielberg 's name, but at the same time, he is also a fan of the so-called high-end groups are most contemptuous director, and on fans keen to criticize, like Zhang Yimou, The American "Zhang Yimou" does not seem to be worthy of the compulsion of many audiences, and even makes many people think that putting him on the list of their favorite directors is a particularly falling thing.
But, what about this, all disdain can't conceal the greatness of Steven Spielberg. The 72-year-old director has filmed the world's greatest adventure film ("Indiana Jones") and has filmed all The world’s greatest science fiction film ("Jurassic Park"), the world’s greatest biopic ("Schindler’s List"), and the world’s greatest war film ("Saving Private Ryan" )Etc., etc.
In his half-century of directorship, Spielberg has been experimenting with different types of movies. Like Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese and other old directors, he used his work to prove to the audience time and time again. He has not been defeated by his age, and maintaining a vigorous creative power is his greatest respect for film art.
And this year, after shooting nearly 10 years of academic drama, Spielberg once again let fans feel the ultimate charm of the movie with the help of "Number One Player". After so many years of filming for film critics, it should Make a good film for the audience!
"Player One" is adapted from the novel of the same name published in 2011. The author Ernst Klein can be said to be a senior otaku, geek-style text, ubiquitous easter eggs and tributes, wild imagination and VR themes make this The novel quickly became a national bestseller, but in fact, as far as the story is concerned, "Player One" is really just a second-rate popular book.
And when Spielberg announced that he was going to shoot the movie version, many fans voiced doubts. Many people did not think that an old director like Spielberg could control a sci-fi adventure with youth themes and full of popular elements. Entertainment blockbuster, even think he may be the most unsuitable candidate.
However, they were really wrong. They far underestimated the director's childlike innocence and creativity. There is no doubt that "Top Player" set off an ultimate carnival for movie fans!
Regardless of the serious themes that have been shot in recent years like "Washington Post", "Lincoln Biography" and so on, Spielberg is a veritable old urchin in Hollywood, and adventure has always been a very important theme in his films, whether it is " "Indiana Jones" series, "Seven Treasures", "Captain Hook", "ET Alien" or "The Adventures of Tintin", Spielberg always pretends to be a child full of curiosity and fantasy about this world , And "Ready Player One" is an explosion of his childlike innocence.
The film is a Hollywood commercial blockbuster that combines elements of VR, video games, science fiction, adventure, action, dystopia, and fandom. Spielberg uses your deja vu stories, deja vu concepts, deja vu characters, and a second-rate book. The novel creates a first-rate movie you have never seen before.
In fact, the concept of VR games is really not new to everyone. Back then, Cronenberg’s "Sensual Game", "Detective Conan: The Dead of Baker Street", "The Matrix" and other classic movies have been used I’ve played this format so many times. It’s really difficult for you to make breakthroughs in the story and concept. What is more, Spielberg’s focus is not on how to make an old story novel. On the contrary, he is With more respect for the audience and the film experience, the film exudes a unique charm.
How simple is the story of "Ready Player One"? Simple enough to be summed up in one sentence, it is the story of a poor boy teaming up to find easter eggs in a large VR game called "Oasis". Reality and virtuality are intertwined. The growth of young people is matched with dystopian settings, and the "Hunger Games" There is no essential difference between youth movies such as "Moving Labyrinth", but Spielberg's special effects scenes and feelings are two parts that make "Number One Player" enough to make audiences of all ages crazy.
In my opinion, "Number One Player" is a pop culture carnival created by directors born in the 40s with the love of music from the 50s and 60s, the animation and video game elements of the 80s and 90s, and the most addictive shooting methods of the 00s. It brings the audience a lot of touch and fun beyond the film level, but it is not as simple as a crude consumer feeling.
Although the story of "Number One Player" has a routine, we will still find Spielberg's careful thinking. During the process of watching the movie, I took Nolan's "Inception" against the creation of the label "Number One Player" countless times, and The two do have many similarities. The process of finding the three keys in "Ready Player One" corresponds to the three-layer dreamland of "Inception", and what the protagonist of "Ready Player One" finds the key to finally open is the ultimate idea of the creator of "Oasis" and its true impact on the game. The love of "Inception" also has a dramatic correspondence with the relationship between father and son conveyed by the windmill in the safe.
In addition, the former male protagonist encounters obstacles in the real world in the game world and the latter’s confrontation with each layer of dreams is quite similar. Even in such a routine story that can be seen at a glance, "Number One Player" still plays It seems that the film is about the male protagonist’s personal growth through the game step by step, but in fact the director retrieves the original intention of game creation and even film creation through the perspective of the male protagonist. Every section The exploration of the lives of the creators of "Oasis" brings us closer to the most primitive touch in our hearts.
Moreover, the final meeting between the actor and the creator of "Oasis" can be called the tear-jerking moment of the year. The scene without any traces of sensation still made us teary eyes.
Another outstanding aspect of "Ready Player One" is that it gives the audience a sense of game comparable to an immersive experience. The several game worlds from the beginning to the end of the film are not just showing the audience a visual wonder, every part is Set up a game operation that makes the audience applaud.
In fact, in 2010, "Scott Against the World" directed by Edgar Wright has used a strong sense of game as the packaging of the film, dropping gold coins, upgrades, big moves and even exaggerated subtitles design all make movie fans It was an eye-opener, but with the incomparable special effects and extremely complex scene design, "Ready Player One" magnified the fun of "Scott against the World" to fans by countless times, and it was amazing.
"Ready Player One" is actually a half-animation. The film is clearly divided into two completely different time and space, the reality and the game world. Spielberg challenged his expression again after experiencing the commercial fiasco of "The Adventures of Tintin" Capture technology. Previously, whether it was "The Adventures of Tintin" or Zemikis's big investment animations, the audience was caught in the "Uncanny Valley" viewing discomfort because of the excessive pursuit of the realism of the character expressions, but this time Spielberg I have a good grasp of the degree between the real and the virtual, and avoided the discomfort of the "Uncanny Valley" in a more cartoonish way. This feeling is very subtle.
It's a pity that Zemikis is not making animations, or he can really learn from Spielberg.
The most crazy part of the film is of course the ubiquitous easter eggs, but I will not spoil any easter eggs here. I even want to advise friends who have not watched the film. From now on, don’t watch the trailer carefully. Don't read articles about spoiler eggs, all you have to do is buy a movie ticket to go to the theater to experience the fun of watching movies without any cold spots and welcome the eggs that are coming.
Of course, you have to drink less water. Missing any easter egg is a big loss for you to watch the movie!
It's so exciting. You can still play the game by sweeping the easter eggs that appeared in the "Gamer One" movie. It's just punctual and convinced! The following is the website ⬇️⬇️⬇️
