end times + sin + humanity
It is another bloody and violent work that lacks novelty, empty content, and focuses on the end of the world. Can it play new tricks? Can you jump out of the established framework? is the key to the success of such films.
Looking ahead
① Mentioning the theme of "End Times", I immediately thought of the "Mad Max" series, which can be called the originator of this type of film. I don't know if this new drama is "parrot learning"? Or "unique"?
②In the cast list, I saw Kate Bosworth, an American beauty, known as "Real Barbie". What kind of surprises can she bring to the audience after not seeing her for a long time? Look forward to it.
③R-rated movies, the taste is relatively heavy, and the visual effects and special effects are optimistic.
Essays in Views
①Main line of violence, hidden line of love
Bloody killing. In the first half, the male protagonist rides the dust and smashes into the sky; in the second half, the female protagonist undergoes a bloody transformation and rages to commit the villains.
Restoration. In the first half, the male protagonist fights for love (love for the female protagonist) and sacrifices himself; in the second half, the female protagonist sacrifices herself for love (responds to the male protagonist's love) and confronts the thugs.
The two-line blending is enjoyable.
②The logic is not important
Honestly, what's the logic behind watching this movie? ! Don't use your brain, whoever uses the brain is "brain disabled".
What narrative is incoherent, what character changes are too abrupt, what mob can't match the "Halo" duo, these are nothing, there is no need to be critical, why use the perspective of "logic" to look at this film? Focusing on the picture is enough.
③ Fighting and killing all the way, refreshing and fierce
Simple, no-brainer story
The husband and wife (looks and looks separated) traveled through the city where the thugs gathered to find a place to rest. Along the way, there were constant obstacles, some allies (Betsy) secretly helped, and some robbers obstructed them. The two stumbled and finally returned to Nina's hometown and ushered in a big battle. .
The pace of the plot is really good.
After watching
①Sweet slices (soon to finish)
When I watch it, my blood is surging; after watching it, I meditate and get nothing.
②Limitations of subject matter
Why do you think of fighting, killing and killing when you mention "end times"? Devastated? Ruins?
Why can't the director jump out of the established thinking? Will it only follow the creative pattern of predecessors?
Why is it necessary to face the "sins of the world" in the "last days"? And ignore the "ray of hope"?
What's holding back a screenwriter's imagination?
What limits a director's creativity?
I don't understand...
③ cliché
The unfolding of the story lacks enough novelty,
The portrayal of the characters lacks enough sincerity.
The construction of connotation lacks enough deep meaning.
All in all, it is the "conventionality" that limits the "viewability" of the film.
End of review.
Screenwriter ★☆☆☆☆ (This kind of film is too routine, I feel that the screenwriter does not know where to put it together)
Director ★★★☆☆ (What about writing and directing yourself? Can't you get out of that frame?!)
Actor ★★★☆☆ (Acting skills are just like that, they are not enough and more than enough. The key is to look at: the appearance of the heroine and the figure of the hero)
Plot ☆☆☆☆ (The story is very general, but the rhythm can be done in one go)
Visual effects ★★★★☆ (this bloody degree, this violence, this fluency, refreshing)
Sound ★★★★☆ (thrilling, exciting texture)
Recommendation ★★★☆☆ (when the film is empty, take a look)
