[Deadpool] A superhero film in an R-rated coat, or an R-rated film in a superhero coat?

I think [Deadpool] belongs to the latter.

Finally, I waited for the source of blue light juice to have a glimpse. The information I got before is that this R-rated Marvel hero movie has exploded in North America's reputation, the box office has exploded, and all kinds of praises are heard.

After watching it, for one of the ordinary mainland movie fans who cannot watch this film on the big screen, [Deadpool] did not bring me much surprise.

We have also seen R-rated movies. For example, many of Quentin's old friends are classics. [Deadpool] On the road of R-rated films, it is foul language and cheap, plus the bloody and pornographic routes that do not account for much weight. The structure belongs to flashbacks and episodes, and the content of the story is like what Deadpool said at the beginning, this is a movie about love. Yes, what we are familiar with in superhero movies about justice, saving the world, self-salvation, and identity has nothing to do with it. Of course, it has something to do with the role of Deadpool itself. Love is the motive behind all of Deadpool's actions. However, shouldn't a character like him be a prodigal son, but he loves a woman so exclusively, and this woman is still in the business of flesh and blood. Perhaps, love is the biggest, no reason.

From the point of view of the movie itself, how could such an R-rated movie with little investment, simple plot, and no big stars get so many box office and good reputation? In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is nothing more than:

Marvel Dafa is good! After so many years of painstaking management, the Marvel Universe has become a golden sign of Hollywood and even global commercial films. Marvel is a big IP. To say that any superhero can make a movie independently, there is a lot of fans who obediently pay for the ticket. The role of Deadpool is no exception. What's more, his popularity in the comics system is already super high, and making independent movies is also a logical thing.

Be unique, find a different way. Not long after I started working, a senior told me: there is nothing new under the sun, and permutation is innovation. Just like Nolan's Batman trilogy, bringing the dark and gloomy reality style into superhero movies is an innovation. The character of Deadpool in the comics inherently determines that this movie cannot take the usual path. The road to level film, breaking the limit, how to come. This is where directors and actors are at their smartest. Of course, this is also a risky move. After all, the preferences of the film market are too difficult to understand, so the investment is not too high. Fortunately, this bet is right. We also saw Deadpool laughing and scolding without limit in the movie, referring to Sang and scolding Huai for all kinds of blacks, breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience. These are not seen in traditional movies, and naturally become selling points.

Actor's success. Like Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Reynolds is sure to be Deadpool in the future. This dude has starred in DC's superhero Green Lantern before, but the word of mouth box office is a complete failure. This time Xianyu turned over, and it was inseparable from his own interpretation of Deadpool. In the movie, he didn't forget to laugh at himself about Green Lantern, and he was also drunk. He has brought this cheap personality to real life, maybe he is such a cheap person in real life. Ha ha.

With the success of [Deadpool], it is estimated that there will be a movie with imitation style. It is said that the new "Wolverine" is also going to take a similar R-level style, and the sequel of "Deadpool" is certainly not unexpected. With pearls and jade in front, the difficulty of future creation can be imagined. [Bat Super War] It's not just that it's going more and more deviated on the route of dark reality, it's already a bit out of tune.

Last but not least. One of the biggest drawbacks of Hollywood movies in China is that there are many jokes or burdens in the context, and even the soundtrack. If we are not familiar with their culture and language, we cannot feel it. [Guardians of the Galaxy] is like this. Therefore, no matter how good the reputation of [Dead Servant] in North America is, no matter how many people like it, it may not be as much fun as Song Xiaobao or Xiao Yueyue in the happy comedian.
