if "Speed Racer" is to say that the original comics of "Speed Racer" are suitable for young children, I don't think anyone will deny it. The protagonist’s name itself is Racer, and the name is Speed, racing in video games, after winning the final victory, I can finally kiss with Chunchun’s first love girlfriend, and run out of the funny brother to explain. There is a kiss mirror. Appeared, everyone please pay attention! These settings, which are so simple and even a little childish, must make many people think that the Wachowski brothers, no, they are the Wachowski brothers and sisters (brother has undergone gender reassignment...) must be "The Matrix" Afterwards, he became famous, and the concurrent sex reassignment operation was so dizzy, how could such a film close to "brain damage" be produced?
After watching "Speed Racer", I want to say that if the world is to choose the five people who love comics the most and the deepest, these two brothers must be one of them. If you want to choose the film industry's most persistent director who wants to realize his childhood dream, the champion is either Peter Jackson, who remakes "King Kong", or the two brothers, oh, brother and sister. Why do you say that? Look down.
"Speed Racer" must be the favorite comic of the Waldorf Brothers when they were children, but it can also be said that it is not just the Waldorf Brothers. In fact, there are many people affected by it. Those of you who have watched "Friends" must remember that there were two episodes called "Things That Haven't Happened" in the fifth season. In that episode, JOEY was still a big star, Monica was still FAT, and Phoebe was a stockbroker...someone Have you noticed the T-shirt that Chandler wore? What is printed on it? You guessed it, "SPEED RACER", you can imagine the influence of this comic.
After the Wharf brothers finished filming "The Matrix," like Peter Jackson, they have the ability to realize their childhood dreams. It is estimated that when they were young, the two brothers must have daydreamed about making "Speed Racer" into a movie. The brothers are so amazing because they have been through it for decades, and they just realized this dream.
There are not a few directors who have childhood dreams, and many directors have respectfully realized their dreams through more than ten years of hard work. But I'm sorry, pouring a pot of cold water, these directors' works to realize their childhood dreams are really few. There are two reasons: most childhood dreams are more selfish. If you are too cool, the audience may not buy it; if you have a dream for a long time, the subject will become more and more pure and inviolable. You must shoot the director's own feelings. But the world is changing, we are changing, and the values of the audience are also changing. If you want to not change the characteristics of your dreams at all, but also to satisfy the audience, this is the difficulty and the difficulty of spitting grape skins into the trash can five meters away. Can be equivalent. Look at "Red Cliff", which has recently suffered a lot of film reviews and is happy at the box office, to understand these two points.
"Speed Racer" must be the perfect dream of the Warren Brothers. When the two made this film, the general principle must be "100% original comics." After watching the film, I think they completed the task 120%. The characters in the film do not move, and the way the background changes can make the traditional movie viewers Zhang Er monk confused, but friends who grew up watching American and Japanese comics will know at a glance that the hot-blooded comics are all of this kind of routine, and the male protagonist's head remains unchanged. After a bloody line, the background becomes an explosion effect; when the hero recalls someone, the background definitely becomes a photo collection of the recalled person. Another place where the comic style is embodied is the scene of the Haibian villains of Speed. Everyone has a dynamic speed line behind their actions. Friends who have watched "Dragon Ball" when they were young will not be unfamiliar!
The role of the characters in the film will make many 80/90 version hipsters disdain: Such characters are too old-fashioned, bad guys are not cool, good guys are not handsome, funny characters are not cheap... Don’t forget, the two brothers want to be perfect. To restore the comics in their hearts. When they were young, it was in the early 1980s in the United States. Their mother should be like Susan Sarandon in the film. The dark-hearted entrepreneur should also be the kind of fat, even the beautiful female secretary employed by the wealthy company. It's the plump look in the film. In terms of roles, the two brothers also achieved the "100% original comics" to the extreme. At the beginning, I was not too cold with the image of the male protagonist, but I suddenly realized half of the film: It turns out that this generation of American boys who are driving cars should look like that!
To be honest, I haven't read the original "Speed Racer", and I am not too impressed by the slightly inferior plot and setting, but from the perspective of the unremitting pursuit of dreams and the perfect realization of dreams, Walch Two brothers are really good enough. If domestic directors can have several such "paranoias" and achieve the ultimate in their dreams, then China can also have several real masters. In fact, the master is to achieve the ultimate in ordinary things.
