Simple and straightforward man beauty

Watching Emmerich's movies, as a movie viewer, you should actually have a very good attitude.

You don't expect to see Nolan's complicated narrative and human salvation.

The change is expected to lead to the revolution of imaging technology as if the card god appeared.

He doesn't even take the effort to make a slightly more complicated story, and he even chooses the dull poker face directly.

Of course, you don't have to worry about him cutting corners on the scene, or playing some brainstorming and nutritious things.

Previously, the director had finished filming "Anonymous" in a very low-key manner. This time he simply let it go to play a medium-invested action blaster.

Effortless, easy to come by, but surprisingly wonderful.

A good action movie is to hit the end from the beginning to the end, explode to the end, and have a great time.





Although I don’t know what kind of story is hidden behind the translating title of "Shocking Crisis", but fortunately, you don’t have to worry about the previous film called "The Fall of Olympus", also known as "The Fall of the White House." Movies of the same subject.

Just by blasting the big labels of Hollywood action movies such as the White House, lone hero, hot president, black and white, and complex villain, one can guess the general direction and style of the movie.

The difference is in the details, how to throw more weapons into the world of the White House, blow it up enough to be particular, rich, level, and accent.





At the beginning of the movie, the president returned to the White House by helicopter. A few simple sets of shots gave a comprehensive introduction to the seemingly dripping security of the White House.

Then Channing Tatum played the leading actor, a divorced veteran who was a president's bodyguard, and brought a White House know-it-all baby daughter to pave the way for the film's dramatic conflict.

Then came the background confession, the black presidential New Deal, the peace talks on the withdrawal of troops from the Middle East, which offended arms companies and interest groups.

In fact, it doesn’t matter what the president does. Terrorists always have enough reasons to mess with you.

It also designed a plot to make an appointment to visit the White House, and included some small science popularizations on the history, architectural structure and function of the White House.

After the simple preparation, without a word of unnecessary nonsense, the terrorists rushed into the White House. The security that looked like a copper wall and iron wall turned into scum in an instant. The terrorists took control of the field instantly, and the president was beaten as a lonely man.

In times of crisis, a lone hero takes action. He is half of the motherland, half of the love girl. The protagonist’s halo is turned on in an instant. The terrorists who shot and shot before face the male protagonist, no matter whether they are pistol shots, submachine gun sweeps or hand-to-hand combat, they will not be injured. To him. In the remaining hour, with the assistance of the president, the hero took steps to solve the seemingly invincible terrorists. By the way, he also guided the terrorists to blow up the White House from top to bottom, from west to east. The bottom is off.

In the end, the terrorist conspiracy was exposed. The White House was bombed by bombs, rocket launchers, gas bombs, and the actor set on fire all the way, leaving only a frame.

It closely reflects the original name of the movie-White House Down.

Yes, it is probably such a simple story.





However, the story is simple, and it makes people open their minds to watch. The director’s lens is neat, there is no cold scene and procrastination in the whole film, several key plots are in place, tense and exciting, the scene weapon is gradually upgraded, and the IMAX shocking sound effect is counted in the theater. Magnify.

After losing weight, Channing Tatum once again sold his figure. Compared to "Special Forces 2", he is already considered graceful. Probably in order to be worthy of the not-cheap film pay, the director finally opened the fire spray, letting the male protagonist and the villain wet hands to complete the final battle, and the intention of taking care of the female audience and gays is self-evident.

The actor Jamie Fox has always been a good performer. After playing the nigger and staying with him, he will act as the president. He really turned over and became the master once, and this kind of role is not difficult for him.

The heroine is marginalized to the point of being completely absent.

The villains who should be the most brilliant are all face-faced or straightforward. They don't have outstanding personalities, and their demeanor ability is average. The final reversal seems too deliberate, and the clues are revealed in the middle of the film.

The whole movie is actually more like a traditional Hollywood action film like "Die Hard" and "Break in the Dead" style, with a lot of effort in the scenes. Needless to say the detailed White House blasting, but seeing the bulletproof vehicle chasing, the tank breakthrough, the Black Hawk falling, until Air Force One was destroyed, the scenes were very exciting, and it was full of impact on the giant screen. However, Emmerich gave the big scenes without talking about the small details. The traces of the special effects in a few scenes were obvious, and it was a little too much to deal with.

At the same time, as a movie that requires the audience to use less brains, the film will inevitably have such and other flaws or bugs. If you are entangled in it, you will really have trouble with yourself, just pass by.



In the end, the little girl waved the flag, and the honest soldier resolutely refused to carry out the ambiguously motivated bombing mission. The theme was sublimated in an instant, and it made people realize that this is a main theme. Knowing this, I was actually a little touched. The movie theater is really a place that amplifies people's emotions.

In short, this is a Hollywood-produced benchmarking action film with exciting scenes, audiovisual shocks, serious production and political stories and humorous laughs. It is full of male hormones and sells the strength and beauty of men. The advantages and disadvantages are the same as all. American action movies are much the same. If it were not for some unrealistic expectations, this should be a good entertainment film that can meet the needs of all kinds of audiences. It is far above the passing line and can be said to be excellent. It is recommended to go to the theater to watch.
