Everyone knows that Xiao Ai is a fan of science fiction, and the disaster type is definitely the first choice for watching movies.

A movie called "Global Storm" that I recommend to you today, although this movie was released a long time ago, but in retrospect, it seems that there is an uncontrollable "urge to complain". Because of this film, Xiao Ai understands why some film critics become bad film killers

It is rare to spray a film directly. After all, Xiao Ai is determined to do "I love film and television reviews" from a neutral point of view, and I hope everyone will support her.

Disaster movies, aren't they just typhoons, volcanoes, tsunamis, aliens, etc.? But behind these countless unknown aggressions, there is no shortage of man-made disasters. For a long time, the most commonly used and most sacred sentence is "the most evil is the human heart". Although this film is not so disgusting, but unexpected man-made disasters, unexpected people still talk about it very much.

Like the name of the movie, "Global Storm" brought a man-made disaster to the world. On the surface, it was a disaster caused by various weather anomalies, but it was caused by humans behind it. Therefore, countries around the world have joined together to make a satellite network called "Dutch Boy", which will wrap the entire earth and change the impact of abnormal weather through high-tech means.

Such rescue operations are indeed effective, but after a long time, there are always some people who want to conspire.

Jack and Rosen can be said to be brothers and sisters. They grew up dependent on each other, but they have different positions. They work under the same roof, but there are many contradictions.

Jack's invention of the Dutch brother made him the limelight, was kicked out of the team because of disagreement, and lived a leisurely rural life with his daughter. Although Rosen and Jack are somewhat at odds, he still plays an important role in cooperating with Jack to restore the Dutch brothers. It is also indispensable that he hooked up with the agent's girlfriend and best friend Zheng Long's sacrifice.

Under the protection of the Dutch brothers, people still live a colorful life, until the weather in a certain place lost a village, and the underground gas pipeline exploded in a certain place, destroying half of the city.

Jack, who has returned to his old business, rushed into space with excitement and anticipation. He was surprised to find that his former immediate boss did not listen to him, except for a very naive and newly appointed Youte beauty. After confirming the eyes, the two would have A relationship, of course, this is a later story.

Life in the sky isn't easy, as Jack struggles to repair the damaged satellite while keeping an eye out for those who want to kill him. Suddenly one day, a satellite that had a problem suddenly jumped up uncontrollably, and almost caused a lot of casualties. When everything calmed down, it was discovered that the satellite was implanted with a virus, and a hard disk was missing.

The high-tech is really powerful. The only hard disk was found by ubiquitous surveillance, and the cause of the death of a previous programmer was also found. It turned out that the corrupted satellite was implanted with a virus by the traitor, but the dead programmer hid a hard drive, which is why he was killed by the traitor.

The more Jack thought about it, the more frightened it became. He just came up to build a satellite, and it involved such a big thing. On the other hand, Zheng Long, a data analyst played by Wu Yanzu, accidentally found himself unable to enter the Hong Kong satellite system. During his shopping trip, he experienced the fire of life and death from a ground explosion.

Zheng Long, who survived, told Rosen that there was something wrong. Rosen, who is still intoxicated by the beauty, is a little unclear. So, until his brother sent a video, he began to believe that there are traitors in the high-level, and some people want to use the Dutch brothers to destroy other countries and achieve self-superior conspiracy.

The sky was in a hurry, and Zheng Long and the others couldn't enter the satellite system. Only the ultimate password at the highest level could enter, which showed that the traitor was at the top. Jack has suffered a lot in space. He was almost killed in the cradle when he repaired a satellite and found a hard drive. The last time was especially thrilling.

On the day of the presidential election, the hacker using the space programmer hacker completely launched the Dutch brothers' plan to cause a geological storm to destroy other cities on Earth, called "Project Zeus". In order to get the ultimate password as soon as possible, Rosen found another high-level Leonard, but his cleverness was mistaken by cleverness. It turned out that Leonard was the culprit.

The ending is beautiful, and the so-called evil is the eternal truth. Jack almost sacrificed himself in space to save people on Earth, while Rosen and his secret agent girlfriend saved the president. The only regret is that Zheng Long sacrificed himself to expose the conspiracy.

After watching this movie, I feel that even though unpredictable natural disasters are scary, they are hard to guard against in the face of real man-made disasters. Everyone understands this principle, but it still makes people feel a lot when it is interpreted through the movie. Perhaps, this is precisely the point. Although this film does not have an advantage in terms of plot, it has a box office of 400 million with such a core meaning.

Interestingly, everyone's comments on this film are mixed, but the two protagonists Jack and Zheng Long in the film are praised. Speaking of the two protagonists of this film, I believe everyone is familiar with it. I feel that the contribution of these two people at the 400 million box office is at least two-thirds.

Jack is played by Gerard Butler, a singer-actor star. Although he is 50 years old this year, he has many film and television works, but they all have the same characteristics. Save the President in "The White House Has Fallen", save the President in "London Has Fallen", save the President in "Global Storm", and save the President in "Ice Has Fallen", different roles are doing the same thing, professionally saving the president for 100 years Who is the title not given to him?

As a well-known movie star in Hollywood, Gerard Butler not only has acting skills, but also the image of a macho. People who have seen him walk the red carpet give the impression that he is tall and majestic, with a mighty appearance and a fierce expression, and it would be a pity not to play a heroic character.

Remember, in the movie "300 Warriors" by Gerard Butler, he played Leonidas as the "leader brother". His masculinity penetrated the screen, and he screamed like a tiger's roar, which made the female audience salute. Worship, the male audience is ashamed.

Unlike Gerard Butler, Zheng Long's actor Wu Yanzu can be described as a combination of yin and yang beauty. There are many friends around who talk about Wu Yanzu's image as a nympho. Whether it's a man or a woman, when you see Wu Yanzu's portrait on the street, you can't help but look at it.

Although time has passed, most young people have forgotten about Wu Yanzu, but Xiao Ai remembers that in "New Zha Shimei", the classic image of the male god is still fresh in his memory. The romantic comedy he collaborated with Miriam Yeung is the story of the same Cinderella routine, and also uses the police gangster as a coat. The gang boss Ou Haiwen played by Daniel Wu in the film has become a classic and perfect male god model.

Later, Wu Yanzu won the Best Actor nomination for the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for his role in "Monster Night Corridor". Different acting skills are shown in the movie. This film is an independent low-budget film with elements of suspense and thriller. It is an alternative attempt by Wu Yanzu.

Later, "New Police Story" became Wu Yanzu's second nominated work for the Golden Horse Award. Wu Yanzu has been generally defined as a bright and handsome positive character before, but in this film he plays an almost crazy criminal. In the film, Wu Yanzu's acting skills are incisively and vividly, and a tragic character with a cold-blooded twist and a maniac element leaps onto the screen.

After that, whether it is "Four Heavenly Kings", "Night Banquet", "Eavesdropping", "Get Out!" "Tumor King", "World of Warcraft", "The Wasteland" and "Tomb Raider", etc., Wu Yanzu moved from the inland to the international celebrity, and the image of the male god on the screen is getting stronger and stronger.

how to say? It is not false to say that now is an era of looking at faces, especially those with good looks and talents, who never get tired of watching, and never give up.
