Today, the Hollywood script production system is very mature. As long as it is accompanied by actors who are in the limelight and have a certain temperament, a movie with a clear style can be easily produced. For example, "Ace Bodyguard" released in China this week, the main actors are Ryan Reynolds, who is popular because of the role of "Deadpool", and the dedicated Samuel Jackson. The film as a whole is a very standard Hollywood model, which can almost be used as a textbook template. But the same problem is that although the routine is wonderful, it is embarrassing that people do not escape from the textbook.
From the beginning of this film, you can find the standard operation of various Hollywood commercial films. For example, the film's dual protagonist model, a mansao, a chatter, a white and a black, is quite similar to "Rush Hour." Speaking of routines, the killing of the client that the protagonist protects is a "sudden accident"; the two protagonists get along with each other mode, which is "from mutual hostility to the same hatred of the enemy". These plot trends can almost find tons of similar movies. And the film covers all the elements that an action movie should have. When it’s bloody, it’s bloody, when it’s a quarrel, and when it’s a gunfight, how standard is the gunfight.
This is indeed a serious traditional action movie, but as mentioned earlier, this movie is not boring, but boring. Reflected in several aspects.
The first is the male number one Ryan Reynolds. After "Blood Solitary Words" and "Deadpool", his anti-traditional and alternative temperament was loved by many audiences. But in fact, from the point of view of this movie, the protagonist Michael is not a very different personality. Instead, it is a very standard popular routine from various stubbornness to sublimation and transcendence at the end, and there is not too much color setting. However, the role of Deadpool is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When the audience sees his face, they start to automatically fill in various pictures. Therefore, this movie has not been complained by too many audiences, and Ryan Reynolds's personal charm is a big factor.
I don't know how many people still remember the story of "If You Are the One 2" starring Ge You, but the scene of Ge You confession in the church is believed to impress many audiences. For comedy-themed movies, sometimes the memory points of some scenes are deeper than the characters. In fact, it indirectly shows that when creating, most of the creators think of the paragraph first, and then add it according to the characters. So no matter whether it matches with the character's overall character, Xiaoguo is good. This is the case with this "Ace Bodyguard". On the way Michael took Kincaid from the safe house to Amsterdam, the scene where the two people teased in the car was a period of time when the film's jokes were more concentrated. However, although the dialogue in this scene is humorous enough, it can be an excellent small sitcom if cut off alone, but it feels too deliberate, and a little bit less can really make the audience amazed.
I would like to mention here that black people are indeed a race whose age cannot be restrained. From the online information, the starring Samuel Jackson is nearly 70 years old this year. No matter the appearance or the action scenes in the film, people really don't feel a bit old.
Compared with Europe and the United States, the version of this film released on the mainland has been cut by 6 minutes, mainly with a few shots that are too bloody and too concentrated on swear words. Before the bloody battle of eleven domestic films, this standard Hollywood movie was delivered with an appetizer in advance. As for whether the audience is willing to pay, it seems that they are not too optimistic at the moment.
