After the new rain in the empty mountain, hang the southeast branch

After Pita was trapped in the enemy camp, Katniss, physically and mentally exhausted, has been recuperating in the base area of ​​the 13th District Resistance Army. On this day, the leader of the Resistance Army, Coin (I can't help but want to transliterate this name into "Quick Silver") sent a black man who is good at lobbying to persuade Katniss to act as the mascot of the Resistance, and send some photos or something to boost morale. . Then Katniss was cordially received by Aunt Kuaiyin, and the two parties fully exchanged views on the issue of being a mascot. Katniss' basic position is, no appointment.

Hammer, who played two episodes of soy sauce, finally got his head this time, and became the spare tire next to the heroine. When the two of them were eating in the cafeteria that day, they saw that Pita, who had never heard of anything, and the famous news anchor Caesar, who is known as a big star version of Wallace, were chatting and laughing on TV, and advised the rebels everywhere not to grow old. Thinking of making big news. Katniss, who just told Hammer brothers to be each other's angels, immediately ran over to lick the screen when she saw her rumored boyfriend on TV. At first glance, Pita, who was assassinated in the capital, looks a bit like a young hero who choked to death from eating sesame seeds earlier this year. That widow also appeared in the film. .

In order to get her boyfriend back to her side as soon as possible, Katniss promised Aunt Kuaiyin to be a mascot. Then Effie, the heroine's nanny, went out to help her create a fashionable and fashionable look. The fashion show in the first two parts, which was loved by young audiences, was simplified this time to just changing outfits casually. "The Hunger Games" draws on "Battle Royale" for all to see, but I really think that since the original author is so concerned about the protagonist's dressing up, then the Japanese pop culture work that should be used for inspiration should not be "Battle Royale" "It should be "Saint Seiya" or "Sailor Moon". After finishing the styling, Katniss went into the studio to shoot a weak and explosive war propaganda full of rustic flavor.

Under the advice of Katniss’ coach Hei Miqu, the film crew decided to go out to shoot on location to enhance the effect of the promotional film. Here Katniss met the above-mentioned poor woman whose husband ate sesame seeds and died young. She was the director of this filming. The film crew first made a friendly visit to D8. The filming work went well, and Katniss had a high popularity in D8. But all this was seen by her old rival, President Snow, and he was very unhappy. So the president sent two bombers to the D8 to explode. Next is the most talked about scene in the trailer: the bow hits the plane. The posture of the heroine and the hammer brother made me want to add music to this passage: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~hhh I flew very high and far beyond the range of the two protagonists. It was probably out of curiosity. I wanted to fly closer to see clearly what the two goods were. As a result, the witty protagonists tried to lure the enemy. Hit the lower body and crashed. In the trailer, I watched it once and laughed once, and when I watched the feature film, I felt more joyful. The two protagonists’ exaggerated movements and serious expressions matched wonderfully.

Because of the faithful record of Katniss’s heroic flight, the propaganda film was a great success, and the resistance forces in various districts were inspired by it and acted actively. The power of the capital was hit to a certain extent.

Katniss and Hammer went out on a hunting outing to bask in the sun. It seems that there are three scenes from the poems and verses to the philosophy of life. I don’t know how to distinguish these three scenes. I even suspected that they were only filmed once and then repeatedly used for recycling. . After relaxing and returning to the base, the two saw Pita on the TV again, tearfully urging people across the country to cherish a peaceful life, do ~ love, don’t fight, ask for guns and don’t fight.

The second stop of the promo shot was the 12th district of Katniss and Hammer’s hometown, which had been razed to the ground by the president, and the two who were in love with the scene kissed a kiss that seemed perfunctory and seemed to be procrastinating. After that, Katniss released the first single "After the Rain in the Empty Mountain, Hanging Southeast Branches", the first single with pleasant melody but terrifying lyrics, which was very popular. Inspired by this song, the resistance movement continued to rise.

The bombing of the hydroelectric power station is the most exciting part of the film. People who regard death as home are singing songs, not afraid of the enemy’s bullets, and rushing forward, and finally extinguished the enemy’s tongue with flesh and blood, and completed the feat of breaking the ground. It gave me a double shock in terms of audiovisual. Although the film is also known as an action movie, the action scenes only consist of two episodes of flying planes and bombing dams. As for the section of the plane, it really feels like a plane, and it's boring; only the section of the dam bombing makes people feel that the film is barely a blockbuster.

The bombing of the hydropower station was an important victory for the resistance. At this time, Pitta made an important speech on TV again, strongly condemning the bombing of the hydropower station. The rebels fully demonstrated to the president which hacking technology is strong, forcibly inserting Katniss's single into Pita's live speech. Pita, who had been brainwashed, was awakened by singing, reminding Katniss of the imminent danger on TV.

The warning issued by Pitta, regardless of personal safety, won precious time for the rebels to evacuate and settle their personnel. But at the critical moment, Katniss could not find her sister, and later found out that her sister who was a cat slave ran back to find her own master. Katniss had intended to blur the bear face of the bear child who couldn't be stunned, but when he saw the cat, his hostility disappeared instantly. If I say that Kuaiyin Aunt and the President’s old man have nothing to fight, both of them retired, and if this cat is elected as the leader, more than a dozen districts across the country will definitely spend their entire lives willingly to provide for it. By the way, Katniss’s sister is still pretty good-looking, but how do I think that the longer she gets, the more she looks like the heroine of another movie adapted from a teenage book.

Having survived the attack by the capital army, Katniss and others walked out of the bunker the next day, but they saw white roses everywhere. Katniss knew that this was a threat made by President Snow to her, and out of fear she did not dare to continue her job as a mascot, so for the time being, the handsome man Finnick performed her duties and recorded a video exposing the dark history of President Snow. At the same time, Hammer and others sneaked into the capital to rescue Pitta and other hostages. In order to buy time for the rescue team, Katniss took the initiative to ask for a dialogue with President Snow. Such an obvious retreat is naturally not hidden from the scheming president, but he himself has other plans. He didn't want to seriously stop the rescue plan of Brother Hammer and others, and simply chatted with Katniss, so that it can also appear that the heroine is trying to save people. It seems to have indeed made a contribution.

Due to the enemy's release of water, Pita and others were successfully rescued. Another scene of the film that shocked me a bit appeared here, the tortured skinny, non-human-shaped Joanna. Her experience is really daunting to think about. However, it is gratifying that Finnick and his fiancee are finally reunited. Just when Katniss had the same expectation and thought that Pita would embrace her in this way, reality gave her a resounding slap in the face. When Pita saw her, she suddenly became mad, trying to strangle her to death, but fortunately, the people beside her came up in time to stop it. Katniss, who was injured and lost her voice by a sudden attack by Pita, fell into constant panic and confusion. She couldn't say anything. She could only ask silently in her heart: "What hate and hate do I have with you? ..."

Except for the fact that Pitta's consciousness was hijacked and turned into a zombie-like existence, the work of the Resistance Army has been very effective so far. Aunt Kuaiyin delivered a speech at the conference, announcing that their revolutionary [BEEP] career had achieved a phased victory, and the audience's applause continued for a long time...

Since Warner pioneered the split of the finale of Harry Potter into two parts After the release of pian and qian, more and more film makers have been inspired to adopt the same strategy. This film and the previous "Twilight Saga" are adaptations of young people's novels. They are closely related to "Harry Potter", and it seems reasonable to adopt a similar distribution strategy. It’s just that I didn’t expect that even the "Avengers", which was aimed specifically at middle-aged and elderly patients like me...middle-aged and elderly audiences, would be broken. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it is an act of cheating money, but fans can take this as one more opportunity to experience in the theater. It’s okay to divide a story into two movies and show it twice, as long as the quality of the movie is guaranteed.

Unfortunately, the quality of this film obviously did not meet the expectations of the audience. After the second film that performed well last year raised the expectations of the audience, not only did the film fail to make it to the next level, but it was a step backwards compared to the relatively young pioneering work in this series. I thought that the structure of the series "first half of the fashion show, the second half of the fight" was a bit tricky. However, in this film, I couldn't even ask for this structure. The whole movie is full of trivial and trivial feelings. The trailer for this film is very touching, but the feature film is another matter. As I said above, although I advertise myself as an action movie, there are not many decent action scenes at all, and they have all been shown in the trailer. Most of the time in the film, the protagonist is talking and posing, which makes people uninterested. Some people say that this is a two-hour trailer, and to me it seems verbose to watch it as a trailer. The director probably wanted too much to ensure the shock of the last one, so when filming this first one, he seemed daunted, for fear that if this one was more filmed, the next one would have nothing to say. In fact, I think he might as well be more down-to-earth about how to shoot and how to shoot, and what counts when shooting. As for the next one, if the plot of the original is not enough, save the energy of injecting water into this one, and then think about it and use it. It’s not too late for the original paragraph.

In terms of characters, due to the single form of expression in the film, even the action scenes are pitiful (the most exciting action scene is still contributed by the extras, and the protagonists have no chance to perform). The characters are basically in a position other than reading the lines. With nothing to do, it’s hard to expect them to impress the audience. Among the newly added characters, it is worth mentioning that Coin, the leader of the Resistance Army, because everyone is a mouth-cannon, so of course the mouth-cannon is more, and it is easy to be brilliant. As a character with lofty political ideals and ambitions, Coin's provocative and deep city image is more popular. In this film, she and President Snow and the heroine Katniss can be regarded as a tripartite, these three are the most presentable characters. In addition, the new and old characters are basically as boring and boring as boiled water. The old role did not take over the previous work to further expand. Among them, Hammer, whose role has been greatly increased, has been successfully established in the second part because the image of Pita has been successfully established. It is difficult for him to find a place in the hearts of the audience, and his sense of existence is still weak; new In terms of characters, apart from the sharp styling that makes the audience's eyes shine, there is nothing else, and when the eyes are bright, they are really gone. Of course, what I am most dissatisfied with is that Finnick has too few scenes. I turned my fans into this series of passersby specifically for him. I also expected him to punch and kick Pitta and become the male one directly. I didn't expect this movie to be so ineffective.

"The Avengers" was mentioned above. In fact, it is related to "The Hunger Games", two film series that seem to be geared to completely different audience groups. "The Avengers" and "The Hunger Games 1" were released back and forth in 2012, and both became the topic of the year, and each led the trend of Hollywood commercial films in the past two years. After 2012, the most photographed subjects were the adaptations of superheroes and teenage books. In addition, the two movie series both have deep feelings for bows and arrows, one of the tools that have accompany human civilization for the longest time, and magnify its power to an explosive degree. I still remember the domestic summer archives in 2012. "The Avengers", "The Hunger Games", "Brave" and "Painted Skin 2" were released successively. At that time, it was really a movie without a protagonist who can shoot arrows. Although the bow and arrow hitting the plane in this film seems to be a bit inferior to the Avengers Hawkeye’s one-shot blasting the air carrier’s engine, it is also a very eye-catching feature. However, some people think that since there are already such powerful blasting weapons, why must they be made into a retro look like a bow and arrow? You can try to change a stylish weapon for Katniss to use to hit the plane, such as a grenade.
