This statement is not an exaggeration. In fact, the storm caused by the latter was not inferior to the former. Before it came out, the sluggish American film market had long regarded this film as the only box office savior after "Star Wars 3", and the director Uncle Si even responded to the popular sentiment and shouted the slogan of the global $1.8 billion goal; In China, its release date was postponed after the manipulation of a mentally handicapped department, adding fuel to the fire and let the fake foreign devils including me see through the autumn water. Rong, it's so lifeless). However—when the dust of his global raids settled, it was unclear whether Uncle Si was lying on the carpet of his mansion and singing hymns because the box office had finally crossed the cost line.
Objectively speaking, the reason why Spielberg deserves to be a master-level role is precisely because each of his works carries the spiritual core of breaking through and seeking change on the basis of mature expressive power, and even the ambition to create a new type of film. "War of the World" is of course no exception. But this time, when he set about packaging a model drama that women and children knew well, the risk finally turned into a price. As the saying goes, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The detractors have singled out the plot loopholes in the film no less than the number of special effects; as for the ending of the film, it has reached the level of hatred by everyone.
However, for me, who has come to see the true face of Lushan Mountain after all the hardships, the film is still very good. Not only is it beautiful, but it can also be seen that the filming is very careful and unique. In the process of watching the movie, there were only two words in my head: shock. After inevitably absorbing almost all of the plot in advance, the world it created still deeply shocked me, from the brain to the spine. Moreover, many of the accusations against this film are extremely unfair. If necessary, I can write a special article to refute them one by one to rectify the film's name (laughs). Of course, there are flaws that cannot be ignored in the film, and the plot could have been better if the production cycle of the film was more than 72 days. But you know, if you want to shoot such a clichéd and veritable "Mars theme" with incredible appeal and so thrilling, try it for someone else? By the way, I also appreciate the ending of the controversy. On this issue, the benevolent should have different opinions.
From another perspective, even if it is criticized no matter how harsh it is, it still has a charm that makes you irresistible, doesn't it? In this sense, we need more "World War".
