The B-level film era of muscle men

This is Arnold's early small-cost fantasy film, which is what everyone calls a B-level film, rough but not inferior. This is also a good memory of many adults in their childhood.


Of course, the ones I watched most in my childhood were domestic films. I didn’t have much contact with foreign films. The first ones I came into contact with were a batch of B-level films that now seem to be shoddy. My friends and I were shocked and thought it was a big production. I think it looks very NB, and the way I go is naturally through video tapes, pirated VCDs, DVDs. There are "Living Jumping Corpses", "Men Ghost Street" and a large number of unknown monster movies. When I was young, I always thought that Americans had aesthetic problems. , I always like to make movies of big rats, big lizards, big monsters, now it’s funny to think about it, hahaha, let’s


get back to business, the first time I watched "Conan the Barbarian" was through VHS, the blurry and grainy images are still fresh in my memory. As a result, I don’t feel anymore watching HD or anything. It’s strange,


Arnold. In the early days, he was a fitness trainer who only sold meat. Later, he entered the film and television circle and became out of control. His early movies were selling meat. No exception, he has no acting skills in this movie, his expression is stiff, his movements are stiff, and his poor English makes me remember his hair and strong muscles. . . . . . . . . . .


The movie has been revisited again. There are so many dew-point shots. Don't I remember that I had these clips when I was a child. . . . . .


Arnold successfully won the favor of James Cameron with his expressionless and stiff performance in the film, and finally won the classic role of the robot T-800 in "Terminator". Nima, facial paralysis is also in her early days. what! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Very inspirational! ! ! ! ! ! !


It was Arnold after the achievement of the "Terminator" series. In T1, Arnold made the limelight and took away the protagonist's role. I have to praise Arnold's facial paralysis acting skills! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !



Although the investment of this film is small, it is full of entertainment and is very popular with the audience. Many sequels were made. The quality of the first one was not good (to be honest, I thought it was great in childhood), and the later sequels were even more terrible.


The film was also popular overseas, and it was picked up by Italian B-level director Joe Damato (what kind of popular filming is this guy, the horror of western murder, and N many love films). It was remade by him and it was the "Ator" series. , The quality of this remake can be imagined. . . . . . . . . . . .


Such a rough fantasy film has produced a super big name, so young directors should not underestimate the actors under your hand. Maybe they will become big stars in the future.


Young directors should watch more B-level films. These B-level film directors have limited funds. To meet the needs of the audience as much as possible under the circumstance, try to make the film in your mind as much as possible. This persistent spirit is worth learning by every director. SO, don’t look down on B-level movies, don’t look down on starlets.


This is not a film review, just a feeling. And spread nonsense throughout

Conan the Barbarian quotes

  • [director's cut]

    Conan: I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind.

    [pause]

    Conan: Almost 20 years of pitiless cumber! No rest, no sleep like other men. And yet the spring wind blows, Subotai. Have you ever felt such a wind?

    Subotai: They blow where I live too. In the north of every man's heart.

    Conan: It's never too late, Subotai.

    Subotai: No. It would only lead me back here another day. In even worse company.

    Conan: For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

  • Conan's Father: Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts.

    [Points to sword]

    Conan's Father: This you can trust.
