"It can't go on like this, it's too busy to pursue blockbusters. Small films without 3D and non-special effects have to survive.
" In the hall, under the treatment of almost a private viewing, when the prelude sounded, I still did not realize that I might be slapped in the face.
The results are of course embarrassing. At this time last year, I saw my favorite "Ace Agent" in the movie theater. This year, the same Matthew Vaughn, the same "Egg" Taron Egerton, the same middle-aged and elderly male The pattern of the god mentor leading the young man, but it's not the same thing at all - out of my love for Dandan, I enthusiastically recommend this film to everyone, and now I'm in a huge embarrassment... Of course, If you like Hugh Jackman, there's nothing wrong with paying 9.9 to buy a WeChat ticket just to see the male god's face, right?
A few flaws:
1. The art is very bad, and the photography is not like extreme sports.
2. The BGM is very out of place, it can't be pasted on the screen, and the rhythm of the pasted screen is not right. Only the ending song is good.
3. The narrative rhythm is grinding, the narrative method is too weak, and the plots are all routines...
4. Except for the protagonist, some supporting characters are like tool people, and they are only responsible for commentary without any personality.
5. Lack of competitive sportsmanship.
I looked at the comment area, and I was embarrassed to see that some people really liked this movie, and even compared the male protagonist with Fukuhara Ai... Thank you, thank you, as Dandan fans, if everyone can think so, I think It's good, but reality is always cruel. It's not that you don't stop being cruel when you drink chicken soup. I believe that Eddie, the prototype character of the movie, does have a great place, and of course Ai Fukuhara can also sympathize with each other, but as far as the movie is concerned, it is really embarrassing to say that.
If it is table tennis, badminton, Go and other sports, I believe there is no problem with this method of shooting. For example, according to this script format, the director directly filmed Ai Fukuhara, who studied in the Northeast when she was a child. When she grew up, she tried to challenge the big devils again and again. She cried miserably and still did not give up. In the process, she developed friendship with many big devils. And fetters, this is bound to be very touching, the Japanese will love it, and there is no need to worry about the box office... But Eddie is different.
The sport of skiing itself is different. This is extreme sport.
Whenever Eddie stands on the high platform of 60M+ and looks down at the moment - I don't know what Eddie thought at that moment in the history of 1987, or people are cheering and cheering at their feet, prosperous. The world seems to be gone; maybe the glasses are too thick to see anything... But, being able to stand in that place, for amateur athletes who only started skiing in their 20s, and for professionals who have won Olympic gold medals repeatedly For the players, they are all determined to die.
I think the director and screenwriter expressed this with a great deal of respect for the sport of skiing.
Fukuhara Ai was brutally abused by the big demon kings. No matter how much she cried, it was difficult for her life to be in danger in table tennis. In history, there are many athletes who accidentally fell off the platform and died during the live broadcast of the Olympic Games.
Even so, skiing.
Even so, you have to stand on a 60M, 90M, or even higher jumping platform...
An ordinary little guy, Eddie, the son of a British mason, went skiing with such determination. He may be seriously injured and die, and he is destined to lose the ranking. Before that, he has to steal the family car and take away the savings of his parents, otherwise he will not be able to make up the travel expenses-with the consciousness of becoming a bastard son or even a bastard son who died of serious injuries, Eddie also wants to keep skiing.
Such a terrifyingly strong, tearful consciousness—at least it should be in the movie—was gently wiped away and covered in ordinary chicken broth.
After realizing this, I was very depressed throughout the entire viewing process. Especially in its routine process, you can guess the progress of the next minute at every step. If an orthodox inspirational film is an equation, the director just regards the actors as a factor and substitutes it into it without any thought. Ordinary failures, ordinary wrestling, ordinary injuries, ordinary encounters with male god coaches, ordinary strategy male god coaches, ordinary teammates slapped in the face, ordinary rescued male god coaches to achieve idol love drama achievements... A
large number of teammates, The portrayal of these plots with peers despising Eddie also makes people feel very uncomfortable, as if all sports should be like this, yes, juvenile comics should always be like this, teammates who play football always have to tear you up, teammates who play basketball always have to You beat him...but that's not how skiing works. Everyone went to the platform with the determination to die. In such a high altitude, the determination to die is equal. Maybe this year will laugh next year. Next year, there will be one less teammate. What about discriminating against "bad tech" peers?
From this point of view, I think the director does not really understand competitive sports and has no relevant shooting experience.
In terms of photography editing, the production team really has no relevant experience. Extreme sports are so beautiful and heroic as a moth to a fire. Although the crowd shouted, there was only loneliness, but even the most basic and beautiful skiing shots were not well captured in the film. I waited for 100 minutes until the male protagonist made the last jump, and that shot was considered a pass... But it's a paradox again, a good shot and a good action are two different things, why are the previous ski shots Not well shot?
In terms of the protagonist, the interaction between the male protagonist and the coach is also very routine. During the publicity period, everyone always thought that this was a story similar to the structure of "Ace Agent", in which a middle-aged and old male god leads a young disciple. In the midst of a huge depression, I can't get any spirit of the interaction between the male god uncle and the male protagonist. Yes, the male protagonist Hongyun meets the down-and-out male coach, who trains with the male protagonist, and the male protagonist finally saves his dream like the heroine in a love story, so what? Drinking a bowl of poisonous chicken soup, even Hugh Jackman's long legs only make people feel empty and lonely.
In terms of supporting roles, the gold-inlaid jade-like bar owner is a complete commentator-style NPC character, as is the male protagonist's mother. Represented by these two, many other people are too much like NPCs, and their tool is far stronger than human nature. For stylized routines and chicken soup. Even the head of the British Olympic Committee, because the actor looks too much like Van Gaal, it is really an instant drama...
Eddie in history may have a deeper connotation, such as how he became popular, how to prepare funds, and constantly exposed and even exposed himself. Ugly Gan is a joke, just to get more sponsorship... In this process, what kind of mood do people in the world care about, admire or spurn this person, making him more popular... This has its own red dust and flashy style, But the moment Eddie stood on the 90M high platform, fame and fortune disappeared again, only the desperate jump.
Any of these shots is enough to make people memorable for a long time. However, the director chose the most shallow, boring, and inspirational film formula, which is really disappointing. Maybe the loss-making production company is even more disappointed. No sponsorship was brought in, the male protagonist drank so many glasses of milk, and none of them had a milk brand on the bottle...
Finally, let's talk about some highlights.
1. Dandan's acting skills are still very good, maybe this film is just to reflect the acting skills of the protagonist.
2, Hugh Jackman is a real god.
I think the best scene is not any skiing scene, but at the end, Hugh Jackman reunites with his teenage coach Warren Sharp in the locker room, Hugh Jackman said, "I was kicked out of the national team by him that year. , I went to beg him, I knelt down to him and begged him to let me go back to skiing, but he still refused"... The old man sighed and walked towards him, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He looked down and saw the former disciple next to him. In his backpack was his own biography—in which former coach Warren Sharpe wrote that "he was a genius, but he wasn't more competitive than he was, and I was disappointed in him"—years later, The aging Warren Sharp looked at the disciple who had broken with him, at the disciple who was once uninhibited and now led another child to ski, picked up the book, opened the title page, signed the autograph, and then Sighing hug with Hugh Jackman.
The frivolity has passed, and the years are suddenly too late. Christopher Walken's acting is so good, a living old coach, this moment can remind a lot of people off-screen, so many masters and apprentices in the competition have turned against each other, and I don't know how many people can meet and embrace each other like this?
However, even this moving is not the film itself. Some plots are touching, just because there are too many helpless in reality. Some of the plots are boring, just because there are too many helpless in reality, this chicken soup is really unbearable...
I originally wanted to use the title "Pushing where I want to be", but later I thought it was too vicious, considering that it may be a few more days. There are no more schedules - originally, small-budget films were not completely unwatched, only the difference between "good-looking" and "not good-looking". The theater manager got the copy, looked at the finished film, and saw other blockbusters getting together recently, and it was difficult to make a decision to increase the schedule.
Standard inspirational films always like to say that hard work will definitely pay off, and the important thing is not the result, but the hard work. The price of hard work is that the male protagonist will desperately steal the car from the family in exchange for tolls, take away the savings of his parents, and leave a note to fly abroad and jump down from a platform of dozens of meters. He may be seriously injured and die. Parents are also required to spend money to take you back to China for treatment - of course, this will not be filmed. The standard inspirational film is like a standard soup treasure, only the process of hard work and the process of hard work will be rewarded.
So, do you want to drink or not to drink this chicken soup prepared by Tang Bao?
