The box office itself is a poison. A film that can beat "Team 9" can only be a film worse than "Team 9", and "Night Watchman" just proves this.
The story itself is a mix of sorcery and a bit of sci-fi, and the original is Sergei Lukyanenko's trilogy (Night Watch, Sun Watch, Twilight Herald), which is said to be set in the Soviet Union status is still high. Due to the box office results, the filming of "Sun Watcher" is still going on. This kind of film, in addition to stunts, is also about the ability to direct a story. In this field, no one can be better than a director trained in Hollywood. Americans are always better at telling a story clearly, what culture Anyone who can understand it, belongs to the Bai Juyi level. The director of the film, Timur Bekmambetov, can be said to be very unsuccessful in this regard. Excluding some of the troubles caused by the poor subtitle translation of the disc itself, the director's own storytelling ability is indeed serious. of congenital insufficiency. First of all, the obvious problem is that I don't know where to start and make an uncomplicated thing complicated. In addition, too much curiosity, imitation and unsure of the film language also make the audience feel like falling into the fog. The Soviet audience may look better because they are familiar with the original book. If the American audience does not buy it, it can very well explain the problems of the film itself.
The editing is the worst part, I call it spastic editing. The rhythm is completely out of the director's consideration, and the whole film is full of loose and tight shots, and the tightness does not take into account the psychological process of the viewer, which makes people often in a very uncomfortable state. The director of the key and climax paragraphs will only blindly cut and cut, causing visual fatigue, but does not arouse a spiritual high. In this regard, I hope he learns "Silence of the Lambs", it is really a great horror movie. A quiet dialogue will make you tense all over, so you don't need to adjust the speed like a lunatic~~
The most surprising thing is the stunts. Although there is still a considerable distance from the United States, it belongs to the level that can be seen, at least it is many times better than "Promise", and its stunt scenes are much more and bigger than "Promise". . You must know that the investment of "Wuji" is more than 300 million yuan, and the total cost of "Night Watchman" is only 5 million US dollars! God, why is the labor in Moscow so cheap?
