However, the last two movies have changed my opinion of stick movies. One is a typical tribute movie of "Return to Base", but it also focuses on the expression of human nature, and the other is this "League of Thieves".
The whole movie is full of plot, and there are many characters, but both the protagonist and the supporting characters have given enough shots and plots to explain and describe their personalities, abilities, roles in the whole thing, etc... The
opening is a successful introduction to theft Picking up a team member and then using less time to introduce another team also implies that the other team likes violent stealing, and of course it is soy sauce.
After the two teams are formed as a whole, each team member has his own abacus, and there are actually undercover police officers among them. There are various conflicts between some team members, and a lot of flashbacks are inserted in the middle to describe the grievances between teammates. These episodes make me look hooked.
Casino thieves obviously learned "Eleven Arhats", but the smart thing about the Korean director is that they learned the shell of "Eleven Arhats", but used the core of "Steal the Heaven and Change the Sun". To be honest, I thought about the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole at the back. , but I didn't expect to be the planners of this operation, I just thought they were all playing tricks on Wei Hong. The director's Easter egg design is quite good here.
After the mission failed, I thought escaping would not be a problem, but the director was quite ruthless in cutting off all the dragon roles, which was beyond my expectation, but the time given was not much but the overall coherence was achieved. At the same time, it has to be said that compared with the idealistic Hollywood directors, the Korean stick directors are more realistic, and they also show a spirit of thieves who come out to mix and pay back.
The third trading scene is still very predictable. The police catch the thief, and the thief will be trapped by the boss. The boss and the police are undercover. Among them, there are also the group that was tricked and returned to win the treasure. It is really twists and turns. Such a complete narrative, interspersed editing, I can only compare with Nolan's films. You know, a genius director like Nolan is also a rare item in Hollywood, which is rare.
Finally, there are still about 10 minutes to explain the ending of the remaining characters...
It is not easy for the entire film to maintain the fullness of the film's plot under the condition of a long narrative.
Now many movies are less than 90 minutes, and more than 2 hours of storytelling is not too much in Hollywood. However, many really good movies have a narrative time of about 2 hours, such as "Stealing Fire", "Stealing the Sun", "Eleven Arhats", and "Batman Prequel II".
Really good directors don't worry about timing, because they can control the timing of the film, they have enough confidence and ability to believe that they can keep the audience in the theater. What about our directors? In my opinion, it is just a practice assignment for elementary school students and an advertisement used by businesses to promote products. Unfortunately, our director made it very enjoyable.
When our director was still doing homework for elementary school students, making all kinds of scandals, and raising all kinds of goddaughters, the Korean stick next door had already taken concrete actions against the Hollywood industrial film model.
It is said that the proportion of domestically produced ticket revenue for theaters has decreased this year. Although we are very willing to support domestic production, we also need directors to show sincerity to be worthy of our hard-earned money.
