The existence of this movie itself is a challenge and question to the mainstream blockbusters of today's rotten streets. Those sacred and inviolable protagonists, those villains who died of talking too much. "The Becker Experiment" is like a middle finger raised high against these mainstreams and routines. Although slender and insignificant, it is difficult to subvert this capital rampant market, but still stubbornly expresses his disdain.
In a sense, the existence of "Belko Experiment" has swollen the faces of countless routine directors.
I often recommend people around me to watch some movies. Recently, a friend of mine asked me why I made up for it in Amway. My answer is basically the same, movies are all the same routine, with too few highlights.
Indeed, a film has the characteristics of a film. It is very simple for you to let me watch a new film and write a short review. Even I can write you a non-repetitive one every time I watch it, but this is not what I intended to write. There are very few ideas that really give me something to say.
A few days ago, I finally finished watching "Interstellar" which I haven't watched for several years. However, after being brainwashed by various science fiction films, science fiction and science fiction games, my brain is basically difficult to control by myself. Seeing the little girl studying the "ghost" on the bookshelf at the beginning, she instinctively thought that it might be the mark made by herself after returning back many years later... It turned out to be the case. Frankly speaking, too big a brain hole is not a good thing.
Blockbuster movies are always the hardest hit areas for routines. A formulaic movie plot can largely obliterate one's love for it. The narrative method of changing the soup without changing the medicine has also been difficult to be satisfied by the audience's growing brains. The audience knows very well that no matter how many remakes of "Spider-Man", the bad guys will be killed in the end and everyone is happy, but the director also knows that the audience knows the ending even when the script is not finished, they will honestly go to the cinema to watch it. . Both sides of such a cycle are unwilling to break, because the investment is too large, no one dares to bet with such a large capital, and the consequence is that the quality of the script is declining with the development of special effects technology.
At this time, some anti-routine low-cost movies will appear. I don’t know once that my favorite genre is North American low-cost thrillers, and the reason may also have a lot to do with this.
"Belko Experiment" is a rare small-produced thriller this year, and its anti-routine script has made me, who has been brainwashed by the blockbuster formula, countless times in the film and screamed. It can even be said that, in a sense, the existence of "Belko Experiment" has swollen the faces of countless routine directors.
The plot of the movie is extremely simple, or simple and crude.
In Bogotá, Colombia, social security is very bad. On this day, a multinational company is working normally, and there are dozens of employees of men, women and children in the building. Suddenly the company triggered the martial law mode. All windows and doors were blocked by steel plates. There was no signal and no wifi. Then a mysterious person said in the broadcast that you will kill each other within two hours and kill half of the people, otherwise we will pass the previous plant. The explosive device that enters your body randomly kills 60 of you.
Such openings are really common, but few are so simple and rude. In my impression, only a movie that I saw in the past few months that reduced social demographic pressure by executing students who failed the college entrance examination can match it.
However, this is only the beginning, all anti-routines will appear in turn in less than 80 minutes.
I think the boss of the company behaved very calmly, speculating that he might know something. mistaken. He was also dumbfounded.
I think he asked everyone to calm down and discuss countermeasures, speculating that he might have a plan, which was wrong. He just wants to kill each other.
I think he lined up innocent company employees after he got the weapon, but someone would definitely jump up and take the gun, wrong. He really killed all those people with one shot and one shot.
The rules of the game that have been regarded as ironclad in other movies are child's play in this movie. The director said as if he was making various jokes to the audience, how about it? Unexpectedly? Just like Happy Tree Friends, the audience was still thinking about how these people can wisely escape from birth, or think of ways to help them cleverly. Later, they simply waited to see how they could die.
Because the rules of the game in this movie are just unreasonable. It is not a jigsaw in the horror of a chainsaw. It relies on a very high IQ to think about every step you might do and set up traps in advance. It just bullies you.
The employees wanted to take off the explosive devices on their heads, and the broadcast rang: No taking it, and whoever takes it will blow it up.
The employee wanted to put up a banner asking for help on the rooftop, and the broadcast rang again: if you are not allowed to hang it, whoever hangs it will kill anyone.
It's so simple and rude, it's so unreasonable, it's just telling you, my game, I have the final say.
The black eldest sister hid in the basement from the beginning, and stayed near the end. You think it's so witty, other people are killing them from gentlemen to beasts, it's better for her to hide honestly. As a result, the eldest sister just went upstairs, the elevator door opened, and the mad boss at the door, banged, had a headshot.
The fat, harmless auntie held an ugly amulet and shrank in the corner and sobbed. It stands to reason that such a poor person will live to the end. Then a madman threw a homemade Molotov cocktail and burned her to death.
A group of people were killed for more than an hour, which was one short of the 30-person target. It stands to reason that the villain will come up with a weird rule to kill this person. However, the villain's words count, and he snapped a button and killed 31 more people. The employees who had tried their best to survive before died inexplicably.
The heroine has always been a reasonably sane existence. According to the law, the movie that survives is either a woman or a child. Even Ning Hao, who played the card the least according to the routine, only the heroine survived at the end of "No Man's Land". Then at the end, Boss shot the heroine to the heart.
The male lead hugged her and said to hold on. It stands to reason that she can't die, and then she slapped twice and died.
The most terrifying thing in this world is those who don’t play cards according to their routines.
People like "A Song of Ice and Fire" largely because it has no protagonist aura. Until half a second before Ned Stark was beheaded, people were still wondering who would rescue him from heaven. The deep-rooted thoughts of the protagonist have restricted people's thinking process, and people will think, how could the protagonist die? Then clicked, and Ned's head fell to the ground. The audience looked dumbfounded, and then asked with luck: "Did you use Yi Rongshu for a fake one?"
As a low-cost film, "Belco Experiment" meets many people's definition of a bad film. It has no plot, only brainless killings, not even a decent location scene, renting an office building, all kinds of headshots. What do you think is the point of killing these people? Shouldn't the protagonist be a game designed by bad guys after all the hard work? According to this method of filming, what else can be made in this movie?
From a plot point of view, such an idea is understandable. Think about it from another angle and look beyond the plot. The existence of this movie itself is a challenge and question to the mainstream blockbusters of today's bad streets. Those sacred and inviolable protagonists, those villains who died of talking too much. "Belko Experiment" is like a middle finger raised high against these mainstreams and routines. Although slender and insignificant, it is difficult to subvert this capital rampant market, but still stubbornly expresses his disdain.
What special effects of firework headshots are used in "Ace Agent" to avoid blood and gore, right? I'll give it to you for real.
The heroine can always live to the end, I will let you die before the end.
This kind of unconventional thinking is, to a large extent, what is most lacking in commercial films that are increasingly rampant in the domestic and even Hollywood markets. It may not necessarily be so simple and rude to kill the protagonist, but if you continue to use the bad written and unwritten rules to replace them and put them in theaters, sooner or later they will be eliminated by the audience and the market.
"Belko Experiment" is not a masterpiece, but he has a very interesting idea. In many cases, such an interesting idea is enough to win admiration for a movie.
