Introduction : It’s been a
long time since I watched such a cliché movie. It is said that in Hollywood, it is impossible to find investors in a movie script with no bad actors in the role. I sometimes don’t understand why the touchstone will invest in such a film, and it will be launched as an A-level production. The doubts about this movie are actually more than that. In short, before I even wanted to put it in the disc player, it could be said that I had a very fierce ideological struggle. Because I had to watch a football game in the middle of the night, it was difficult to pass it before the game started. In my boring time, I finally put it in the disc player, but a little unexpectedly, no matter how impatient I was, the final result was: I missed the football game.
In fact, people of my age, when many people were boys, had three main dreams in life: to be a soldier when they grow up, or to be a policeman, or to be a firefighter. This ideal has nothing to do with China and foreign countries. Most of them are so. It is conceivable how stalwart and heroic these characters are. On today’s screen, such heroes are rarely seen. My own children are more willing to grow up to be Spider-Man or other heroes, but turn a blind eye to the ordinary heroes living around him. So I just flip through recent film reviews. Those white-collar or yuppie film critics living in the city can of course write things like "rough plot", "bad story", "old and old-fashioned" and so on. Wait for the same comments, and more comments may lead you to the sensory stimulation of how to watch the compelling special effects in this film. . . . . . . This makes me have to admit the fact: why the Wu Yusen-style movies will die, in fact, all because of the intellectuals like Du Qifeng; reading more books has many advantages, but there is only one disadvantage: people will become rational and rational. One of the side effects includes: cold blood.
Seek truth from facts DI or from the perspective of rationalism, watching this "Ladder 49", for people who watch a little more movies, it is natural to compare it with another firefighter-themed movie "Fire Ambition/ "Break in the Fire/Returning Fire" (I thought of the impulse to slap the head and brains of Fan Zhongying, so I can translate two movies that have been more than ten years apart into the same name?!). However, compared to Ron Howard’s "Backfire" more than ten years ago, the gap or difference in "Landscape 49" is huge. There is no superstar like De Niro in the "Cloud" film to play supporting roles. , No tortuous life growth experience, no cunning arsonist, no meticulous description and preparation of the knowledge and skills of the fire scene, no man’s renin secretion, "TOP GUN"-style "firetruck sex", even a handsome guy No. . . . You can't help but ask me, K! It's all like this, what else can there be in this piece? Is there someone to watch for P?
In fact, some people have answered the above question early in the morning: "Ladder 49" actually has nothing, it is an American-style "main theme" movie. So I feel that it is actually so clichéd and clichéd. According to the current film experts’ point of view, this is simply a vulgar movie, and nothing can be said about it. Like the famous film critics in this world, It must be one hundred percent of the pen and ink that will not be wasted for this piece. Here I also give those students who want to watch this film a vaccination in advance. If you want to see some exciting scenes or glorious heroic images, you'd better watch "Spider-Man" again, although this disc Wearing a THX-certified hat, although the sound effects are really good, there are actually no exciting scenes of burning and explosion. At least the scenes on the fire scene are far less thrilling than the scenes made by the computer in "Lord of the Rings".
After talking for a long time, this movie seems to have nothing to read, so what are you going to say? You must ask that. Yes, if you watch this film for the purpose of sensory stimulation and addiction, this film can actually be completely ignored from the watch list, because this film does not have this aspect of watchability, and it even includes actors and actresses. The most basic film elements, such as photography skills, audio and video special effects, are very poor. I even think that this is a “face-saving project” film funded by the city committee or fire department of Baltimore, a medium-sized eastern city. Seed stuff everywhere). But when I saw a line from the protagonist’s mother-in-law in the abridged segment (I’m not sure if it was, it seems to be), the line was to the effect that “what the firefighters are after is actually just a beautiful funeral”, I finally understand What kind of theme this movie wants to show and render, and this theme is actually too vulgar, too simple, too simple---saving people from water and fire is the basic humanitarianism.
Some truths in this world are in fact so simple. When countless firefighters in China and foreign countries are born and die every day, it is really difficult to say what the earth-shattering and compassionate grand motives are. It is just a job, and this This work needs such simple and noble people to complete. This is actually the stuff this movie is about, and it's also the most moving element. Almost everyone in this world dreams of becoming a hero, but in fact, there are such heroes around us all the time. When they don’t give their lives for you, you may never realize their existence, but In fact, they are all preparing in this way.
While watching this film, I have been thinking about why there are countless heroes in the history of movies, but never has the image of a fire-fighting hero become a movie or a historical classic? In fact, they are just like this movie, they are all ordinary people, their nobility is only in their hearts. So this may also be the reason why Ron Howard's twists and turns of "Backfire", which has been exhausted, is ambitious but has little applause. In fact, "Landladder 49" is also the case. Therefore, in the past few decades, no movie about firefighting has become a classic, and it will be the same in the future.
After watching this cliché movie, I occasionally have a lot of cranky thinking about why Chinese directors are digging their heads every day to cater to the tastes of foreigners who always want to be curious about them, and shoot those martial arts movies that do not know how to do it. , Social dark films, desperately shaping those so-called anti-heroes like emperors and generals or anti-society and anti-humanity, but don't want to take a look at these ordinary and real civilian heroes in your own city? Why would Hollywood invest in such a theme film with extremely poor commercial and dramatic elements? The Americans and American society after 9/11 are perhaps the most eager for, right?
Finally, I mentioned a little bit about the situation of the R9 disc. In fact, there is not much to say. This disc is very good in all aspects, the sound and picture effects are very good, and the good songs in the film are all recorded in the additional OST. Among them, the most commendable is R9's subtitle translation. Whether it is the translation of the feature film or the highlight, it is very accurate, restrained, decisive, simple, without any sloppyness, and is extremely in line with and close to the language characteristics of the film's theme and role. , And what is surprising is that R9 has translated the lyrics of a large number of songs in the film, and the lyrics are beautifully translated and poetic, which adds a lot to the promotion of the theme of the film. . . . . . The full disc includes the feature film and all the highlights. I occasionally saw only five errors in total. Among them, four of the features were typographical errors. For example, the homonym of "surprise" was mistaken as "fine", and another error was in the highlights. It is a pasting error of the actor's name. A few days ago, someone posted information about the upcoming release of the film in the three regions, but for me, I don’t have to look forward to any other Chinese version of the new film and disc translation level like R9.
