Fifteen years have passed in a blink of an eye. Although Keanu Reeves, who astounded the whole of China, has gradually appeared to have nothing to do with the word handsome, but the Chinese film market where he was taught to behave has become more and more popular year by year. The production scene was dazzling and filled the audience with all the indigestion. At this time, even after eliminating the factor of laundering money for various bigwigs and commercial machines, the movie market rarely took 10,000 as a unit. At this time, the first John. Wick film was put on the big screen in October of that year. At that time, the total investment in the whole film was 20 million U.S. dollars. China has not been reviewed. All this seems to indicate that this film is about to become This old bacon-level handsome guy's Waterloo, but the film can win 86 million in the global box office amidst the bad news. It is like a martial arts master who has been abandoned for a long time and can still hand over 70 after a night of review. The answer sheet of points.
John Wick: Chapter 2 was released in 2017. Just like the first film, it was simple, rude and low-key, and even the name was unwilling to modify the name. The film is currently rated at 90% freshness by Rotten Tomatoes, which is in sharp contrast. It is the second part of Fifty Shades of Shittier that was released in the same period: Fifty Shades of Shittier's 10% viewing experience at Rotten Tomatoes.
This film still follows the shooting method of the first film, and does not kneel and lick the swing shots of the most popular action movies at the moment. Every fight is presented with a fixed lens. Although the audience's sense of substitution is reduced a lot, it does not. The movie-watching experience is discounted. This is not only thanks to the director’s mature control of the film’s advancing rhythm, but also to admire the action director’s solid foundation in action design, so that people not only don’t feel that the movie world is set abruptly, but instead Every audience is silent. Although Keanu's acting skills are still in a state of being incomplete, but the facial paralysis style highlights the character of John Wick, and the contrast of several old dramas makes the audience feel that every character in the film is flesh and blood. It is still commendable in fast-paced action movies. If there is a chance, I hope everyone can go to the theater to watch it. With the big screen, this movie-watching experience can be improved to a higher level.
Why do you think this drama is good? In fact, the reason is simple and complicated.
Although the film looks like a huge and complex industrial system, there are many shortcuts to take. The predecessors created a new shooting method, and the younger generations only need to follow suit. This is like a good chef creating a new dish. It is very popular in the market. All other cooks basically know the ingredients, seasonings, and basic methods needed to replicate such a dish as long as they have eaten it once. After going back, they can quickly make a similar dish with a little thought. As long as the dishes are cooked over a high fire and supplemented by various seasonings, even if the taste may not reach the original taste, the diners who taste it will not have such tricky taste buds. This is even more handy to do today when the film industry is mature.
For example: since Jason Bourne was promoted to the altar, especially the third textbook-style jitter shooting action scene, it seems that every action film director is fascinated by the jitter shooting method, and all subsequent action movies can It shakes the audience in the theater, and makes the fans after a meal can't help shaking when they choose an action movie. But the outstanding works are lacklustre (the US team 2 can barely count as one). Is this a regression in the film industry? No, it is a good thing that people scramble to try after a new technology appears. But if this is the progress of the film industry, it is better to say that this is a major symptom of capital's increasingly obvious control of the film industry. After all, the movie is for money. Investors’ money is invested in. Then the income statement of this movie, the input-output ratio is the main theme. If there are newer, hotter and more fashionable shooting tools and methods in the range of options. , It’s hard not to let the capital’s tycoons be moved. At this time, is it the director’s right to speak, or the capital’s harder wrist? The story becomes simple and helpless. After all, not every director is Steve Nolan. . But this John Wick went against the trend, using a lot of long-distance and fixed-focus shooting action scenes, which is obviously very unlucky in today's movie world. A plate of fish-flavored pork can be fed for 15 yuan. Audience, you did a seventy-seven-forty-nine-day Buddha jumping over the wall. Not only was it time-consuming and laborious, but it was also likely to cause sensory discounts caused by the system's regression. Although this film was excellent, this kind of old-school action movie is just like in the film. The American muscle car that had been hit indefinitely seemed out of step with the times. After watching the movie, I’m actually asking myself whether I think it’s good because it’s really good, or is it because the director’s paranoia about the filming technique makes me awe-inspiring. I didn’t find the answer, but I think if it’s today There are more such works in the film industry, instead of blindly driven by capital, it is hard not to be admired. We often hear many people in the film critics saying that when the movie develops to the audience's ticket to decide what the director makes, it is the day when the movie really comes out, but if the audience eats the same dish every day Pork with rice, then who will understand how difficult it is to appreciate the Buddha jumping over the wall tomorrow? And if that day cannot come, then I would rather burn it than rust.
Do not go gentle into that good night;
Old age should burn and rave at close of day.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
