I didn't read the original book, so I don't know what side branches were cut from the movie.
The American kid Ji had dreams about magicians, gunmen, sewers, and the black tower. He painted on paper the people and objects he saw in his dreams and pasted them on the wall of the room, so that friends and family could prove that these paintings exist. It's a pity that they thought Jack was insane, until Walt dispatched the disguised school social worker and his assistant to pick up the child to the new school. He found that the assistant's neck skin showed red suture marks. He knew the dream was real, so he forgot to be in the bathroom. Take the excuse of the toothbrush and run away.
The movie depicts Ji as the strongest child of Shine, so he just suffered a little wound to defeat the gatekeeper monster to open the secret passage to Middle-earth, and then encounter the gunman who once suspected that the child was Walter's plan to hurt the mortal enemy, The plot is just plain boiled water, such power comes first, and if you have spiritual power, you can run wild in the two worlds. The screenwriter doesn't know how to use spiritual power to have such courage and luck to knock down the goalkeeper. The adaptation of the movie is only 95 minutes. The screen time of the show, the character statement that the audience needs to know is largely omitted, the film tells the story in the most direct way, regardless of whether the audience understands the origin of the Black Tower, the brief introduction of the life of the magician Walter, the mysterious building, and the appearance of the mysterious magician from unknown origin. There is a feeling of collapse that is difficult to put in.
Why is it necessary for children to have spiritual power, but not adults? As long as the magician or gunman says: [Children have not yet been contaminated with adult vulgarity, they are innocent. ], no computer special effects, no need to spend time talking about the past and the present, and the screenwriter who can answer my questions in just a few seconds is too lazy to pay attention. In a word, this is a movie about the confrontation between good and evil by virtue of their powerful strength. The moment Walter recites a [Stop breathing] (stop breathing) spell to take other people's lives, the magician's eye pupils reflect the flames destroyed by his control. The reflection of human wails is shocking, the audience can feel the man in black from the man in black with his eyes fixed on the man he wants to kill, but he has to tease the ice cream eater. The little girl? The evil spell the magician cast on her just made her eyes turn black instantly, the sweets I expected pierced through the mother's face, or the daughter's fangs smashed the mother's throat, it didn't happen, Walt's magic was Deadly, since his magic is just a bad prank, the movie might as well put away this boring paragraph; the other is a man in black, the English is a man in black, the adjective has a pun, and the original Roland is white, The actor who played him in the movie is a black man. Since the demon is played by a white man, then the righteous gunman is played by a black skin, a big tribe of the American race. The black shirt worn by the white skin Walt highlights his ability and unfathomableness; the black gun The natural fit of the white shirt he puts on to match his complexion shows that he is a teacher of justice, and the black actor Idris Elba, who plays Roland, does his best to perform the loneliness of the enemy who curses the inevitable death of those who walk with him in a pale script, and After getting acquainted with the product, it is like a father and son who are temporarily trying to break the curse.
The main actors of good and evil use the audience's in-depth understanding of their roles, but they support the film with their sophisticated performance. Their performance is slightly higher and almost castrated the score of the film. Frightened subordinates, they are afraid that if they make a mistake, they will lose their lives. Walt ruined half of the face of the beauty's subordinates and left his hands. Do you think they will still work for the leader?
Dude, you killed a gunman by giving him vitamins with Coca-Cola, which is falsely called Sugar. Did you know that? The pH of cola will affect the absorption of the drug, and even reduce or make the effect of the drug disappear. It's going to be sad to see a gunman as a dad.
It's understandable that the movie has Sony's own product placement advertisements. Sony Vaio laptop sales have long lost to American brands, and the product is only launched in a few countries. Sony mobile phone sales increased in the first half of 2017, and the return of the money is more. Earn 3 times the profit, then the brand uses the outdated product to extend the film promotion to a necessities of the staff. Looking forward to the future, forgetting the past sales strategy and using it to make movies at home, the extra discovery is to pass the time of watching movies that is not boring but not very glorious .
What does [Hong Kong Palace] at the end of the film mean? Sequel footnote?
