The falling temperature and the harsh north wind cannot stop the enthusiasm of movie fans. In order to watch the Hollywood comic strip "Aquaman", which was released half a month in advance, they did not hesitate to get up early in the dark and get a glimpse.
At the beginning of the film, old friend Nicole Kidman came out beautifully. Her appearance was even younger and more beautiful than the psychologist in "Batman 3" 20 years ago. With the help of the movie queen, the style of the film has also improved a lot. Although the beginning of the mermaid love is brief, it is very important, like the beginning of a fairy tale, with twists and turns, and fascinating. Love is the beginning of the story, and it will also be the end of the story.
After the romance, the rhythm of the movie has become very dense, making people dizzy, and it feels like a blow to the face. The villain, the Black Manta, immediately appeared and immediately became Neptune's mortal enemy. The reason was actually love. Although both the black manta ray father and son are extremely vicious pirates, the flesh-and-blood sentiment shown by the father and son at the final juncture will also make people move and cannot have a special dislike for this black man. This kind of emphasis on family affection seems to be an innate ability of Chinese directors. As early as more than ten years ago, Ang Lee's "The Hulk" had a strong manifestation. The big villain was the father of the Hulk, and the family relationship between the two took up a lot of space. Although the movie was criticized by Western audiences because of this, some fans also supported it. A few years later, "Hulk" changed players and restarted, but it didn't achieve very good results.
Afterwards, there was a treasure hunt and a battle of palaces, the two intertwined, and they were the traditional routines of European classical mythology. The Legend of the Seven Seas, the Great West Continent that has fallen to the bottom of the sea, the different kingdoms, the lost artifacts, the princes living outside, the tyrannical second generation ancestors, etc., all these are so familiar, and so natural. Watching this movie, I seem to forget the rest of the comics heroes, whether it is DC or Marvel, but completely walked into a unique and bizarre underwater world.
There are many action scenes in this film, but it is difficult to make breakthroughs in the arena and car chasing under the sea, because there have been jewels and jade in the front, and stylization is inevitable. On the contrary, the Battle of Sicily was more exciting. Aquaman and Mela acted separately and fought, which caused the town’s people to turn their backs on their backs and their houses to collapse. While distressed by the destruction of those monuments, they also really praised this painstaking arrangement. Such as drinking water from the toilet and attacking with red wine are really good ideas.
The climax of the film came very late and the duration was very short. I was very worried that I would be pinched if I couldn't see the ending, and I had to break it down next time. Fortunately, the director also adopted a short, flat and quick strategy for this kind of impossible and extremely money-burning melee. At the end of the film, the theme of love is highlighted. Several protagonists are bathed in the beautiful and harmonious morning light on the sea again. Although the war must be resolved through violence, in the end the bonds of family love are still cut off, and the differences are temporarily reconciled in the name of love.
"Aquaman" is a maverick in the DC universe, and it is also a new and oriental interpretation. I believe that if Wen Ziren is asked to film "My mother is also called Martha", it will definitely be much more delicate and reasonable than a foreigner. Although Aquaman’s coffee position is the weakest among several superheroes, his plasticity is also the strongest. Because he is a newcomer, he can't grab the show, and making the whole film his personal show, which just gives this movie that was once not seen by others with more freshness.
I like this movie because it surpasses the general comic strips. It eliminates the flattering, funny and meaningless grounding. It goes straight to the theme and gallops all the way. It puts the audience in a strange fantasy world, and gets the spirit again. The baptism of love is much smarter than the straight male cancer comics filmed by white directors of silly masculinity and group collaboration selling rotten monsters.
ps, Wen Ziren doesn't seem to be good at making love. The chemical reaction between Hai Wang and Hai Empress is almost zero. They are not like a pair when they stand together, but like brothers and sisters. Because Aquaman was too anxious, he had to call Patrick Wilson, who was 6 years older than him, to call his younger brother.
