The climax in the mucus severed limb-"Dread Planet"

If "11 Arhat" can be regarded as a successful case of Stephen Soderbergh's successful action film after making a literary film, then "Fear Planet" can also be regarded as Rodriguez's success in paying tribute to the 7th and 80th B-level movies. Typical works. Like Jia Zhangke's soaking up in the video room, Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino both grew up soaking in the ocean of B-level movies, and eventually they practiced magical skills. Quentin has already fried Chinese kung fu and gangster movies that he had deeply influenced when he was a child into a feast called "Kill Bill", which is quite flavorful, and has also become the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival. Rodriguez estimated that in addition to being the most affected by Wu Yusen, he was also a guy who was killed by a zombie movie. This time, "Dread Planet", which I played with Quentin, has a lot of elements of traditional zombie genre films, and there are many innovations, which are very flavorful.

Beauty: Is there any zombie film without a beauty? It seems that in this type of film, the conflict between beauty and ugliness is more dramatic and more attractive. The beauty in this film is a bit offbeat: one leg is a deadly automatic rifle, a slim figure, killing zombies and special forces, but not a single Gordon. If some orthodox writers in China want to write a book about "pornography and violence", the stills of the heroine are suitable as the main picture. The protagonist started out as a weak woman, whose name was the very sweet Cherry Darling, but was forced to become an invincible female King Kong by zombies and bad people. In addition to the "human and gun-in-one" modelling which is CULT, the transformation of the beauty's personality also seems to be a metaphor.

Zombies: Zombies? Of course, zombies are the focus. Even the opening ceremony of the Olympics is a comparison between similar programs that can leave a deep impression. What's more, the standard elements in the genre film? The zombies of "Dread Planet" are very good, because they are really disgusting to the extreme. Watching those guys running towards the camera, the audience watching the movie can't wait to pick up the guy closest to them and give them a few shots. Think of the zombie played by Quentin, dripping viscous body fluid from the crotch, OH, MY GOD, let's not talk about it.

Plot: Generally speaking, the plot of genre films is really routine, but the cult classics in B-level films mostly do not follow the card. This is also an advantage for larger B-level films and factors to be considered for blockbuster films. Too many, it is unlikely that the sword will go slant. If the male protagonist group in the police blockbuster is finally killed by the two little thieves like "Very Suddenly", then it is estimated that the screenwriter will also be killed by angry audiences. Although most of the plots in "Dread Planet" are the traditional plot routines of zombie films, there are still many interesting differences. The most important thing is that the biochemical weapon expert played by Sayyid in "LOST" confidently took everyone to prepare to grab the plane. Before, I felt that the guy was very strong and stylish, but when he showed up, he was beaten into a deflated fly... Similar There are still a lot of small plots, you can experience it when you watch it.

Special effects: "Fear Planet" intends to deliberately create the effect of the 80s video tape film. The film is "old". The color tone in many places is also obviously "distorted", in fact it was deliberately adjusted. Of course, there is no need to mention that the "heat" of the sex scene caused the "accident" of the "film burned". All the processing methods, including the "Machete" trailer that is not known to be true or false at the beginning of the film, are creating a unique atmosphere. If the audience feels the joy of watching the film when watching the film, then the director's goal will be achieved. NS. There are a lot of "hard special effects" in the film-that is, the kind of special effects made with makeup and machinery-and it feels very enjoyable.

Friends who are innocent, friends who don’t like to fight and kill, friends who never listen to MANSON and ROB ZOMBIE, friends who are neither interested in zombie films nor have any feelings, friends who hate B-level movies, "Dread Planet" Not for you. On the contrary, if your answers to the above questions are very firm "NO!", then man, what are you waiting for, let's watch the movie first!

    When I stayed up late in the dormitory to watch it, a lot of blood plasma was so addicting to me.

    Among the 2 films in the torture chamber series, I still prefer Quentin's, "King Kong is not bad"! , although this is a B-level film, although it is more straightforward (many people just like this). But there are less aftertastes, and many people think that "King Kong is not bad", but there are too many places worth aftertaste. Just like in the Kill Bill series, I also prefer 2. In those rambling dialogues, there is deep love and responsibility, and it makes people understand human nature more
