So when I saw the adapted TV version this year, and the director was still Rodriguez, I happily decided to jump in this pit.
Also, in order to find the difference, I went back and watched the movie version again before watching the first episode. (This move actually has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that at the beginning, you will be very anxious to see the original characters and the adapted plot; the advantage is that the clues of the movies and TV series are still clearly engraved in the mind, which is very convenient for comparison. , which also made me more deeply aware of the direction and significance of the changes in the plot of the movie version of the TV series.)
When the drama began, the door to a new world opened - from the anxiety and impatience of the first and second episodes to the thumping of the third episode. The table laughs, and the fourth and fifth episodes are getting better, and then the sixth episode has a big explosion, and the seventh and eighth episodes have steadily risen. The decision to stick with it is the right one. The TV version of "Killing the Dawn" is a very good conscience commercial tourism drama.
Yes, it's not a masterpiece. It can't be compared to the superhero series that is widely recognized by the public for crafting art. But it has a smooth plot, vivid and detailed characters (the lines are super exciting, there are woods), and although it involves supernatural factors, it always insists that the cable must be accepted and not random nonsense, even in order to retrieve the original unprincipled brain hole and throw it away. And create a new main line, but also carefully designed the "snake tribe" and human society coexist worldview. From these points, it can be seen that the writer and director are very sincere. They want to entertain us, and to entertain us without fooling us. This is so rare. The devil of the big tomato and the American fear that if they figure out whether the speed of digging a hole far exceeds the speed of filling it, go home and eat yourself.
After watching the first episode, I wrote a short review like this: "The brotherly love line is maintained at this level, and the blood cult line is hard to make up, and it is worth four stars. It can be seen that Rodriguez's ambition is still quite big. , I hope the surreal brain hole in this play can make my heart fascinated by the last scene of the movie when I was a child. Please."
Now it seems that Rodriguez and the others have completely achieved this. And it surpassed (the ninth episode plus one star), so the five-star offering is considered a fulfillment of the promise. In the process of watching the drama, in order to prevent forgetting important clues, I basically maintain the habit of writing short reviews after each episode, and sometimes read other people's short reviews. Many people think that the TV version is not as cool as the movie version, the goddess is not enough aura, the dance scene is not cool enough, and the original characters are so annoying. But that doesn't work either. The movie only lasts so long, and the selling point is the conversion between police and gangster movies and zombie movies. The dance of the goddess is the climax of the whole movie. Of course, you can't shoot it casually. Moreover, all the highlights of the character [Dead] in the film are extremely madly dragging Kuba out to the ground, and then he will die if he says he is dead. No foreshadowing and no follow-up required. The goddess is a ruthless super S, and then hangs up - and the setting of the TV series is that the goddess is actually controlled by the nine kings and has a very sad history. The dancing section is only a benefit for fans, and at the same time has the effect of connecting the plot. The main line has changed, and the character setting has to change accordingly. The character setting has changed. Based on the plot of the movie's original plot, the drama will inevitably be greatly reduced. Definitely. I also admit that the goddess Yanwu, who is famous in film history, cannot be surpassed, but the story to be told in the TV series is longer and more complicated than the film, and the focus is also different. So why should everyone hold on to this? Movies can burn to the top in a short period of time, but TV series cannot. It has to have a longer main line, more branch lines, and a greater amount of standing detail. Under the big dramatic conflict in the main line, there must be small dramatic conflicts that change from time to time, so as to attract the audience's attention for a long time, let them feel that the plot is exciting and it is reasonable to move forward gradually.
You see, art is not only in the visual spectacle that explodes in an instant, but also in the relentless pursuit of perfecting the plot. Can't we feel happy when we watch the drama carefully and see the details buried by the directors and screenwriters, from passively receiving information to actively participating in jigsaw puzzles, and finally suddenly enlightened? Besides, even if the iconic classic scenes of the movie version have been weakened, the TV series still gave us a lot of surprises by paying close attention to the new worldview.
The cool title, the retro tone that covers the whole play, the action scenes that never cut corners, the exotic music that plays from time to time (remember the Spanish version of After Dark with violin accompaniment), the appearance is beyond the table and the charm is outstanding Some of the main characters (some of them are still original characters), the bloody cruel Cult setting (Temple Meat Grinder and Dark Invasion Terrier), these are the real hard goods in this commercial TV series. . Very entertaining, very exciting, and the service is warm and touching at home. So everyone, don't give up so much joy because of [this is not as unhappy as the movie].
Personal cute details:
1 In the indoor scene of Richard and the bank cashier, the cartoon he watched was Woody the Woodpecker. I also like this cartoon.
2 Seth and Richard's classic brother's hug is blind. My generation from the movie bromance to the TV series is deeply gratified.
3 Everyone knows the famous saying of the sister-in-law. Rodriguez, did you have any thoughts about Quentin before? Honestly, we won't hit you.
4 Confidant Brother & Barefoot Fortune Teller Richard. Chatting with the little girl is fun because his mental age is only in his teens. [Beat]
5 priests and demons are in a very high-energy state.
6 The strongest plug-in... ah no, the foreign aid Carlos appeared in a real height, obviously it was a back cover, but the aura he came out was a dick.
7 It is very meaningful to change the hands of the phantom snake knife.
8 "He's more effective when he's wet" and "I like young boys too"..........
9 Carlos dedicated parking spaces [rolling with laughter].
10 The Jieko brothers broke up, and the enemy appeared after the breakup, so they used a continuous combination of skills, and the pinkness was full.
11 Why the director didn't let Carlos lick his shoes, I want to see him lick it from the bottom of his heart.
12 Listen to the old man Carlos tell the story of the past. Young people, don't be black and white.....BLABLABLA.....By the way, I forgot to tell you that you are actually a magical girl. And has woken up. Don't struggle, accept your fate.
13 Inception + One Life Clearance game stalk. Aside from watching brothers quarrel, what I love most is how they work together.
14 Seth's 9th episode is so weak for Mao. Is the director a younger party?
15 The nine kings are really money fans. Rob the bank for the money. The decadent ruling class tut tut. I despise you.
16 According to the inference of Professor Dead Ghost, the protagonists of the prophecy story are a pair of brothers. So no matter how many times the breakup is false. And little police. It's not so easy to get out of it if you get involved, next season...you and Carlos will definitely have a philosophical dialogue.
