chowder

When watching the film, I couldn't help but sigh: This is really a movie specially made for young audiences, and the amount of information is really not small. Switching between various situations and emotions, the realm of the gods and the earth, the seriousness and the funny, the power and science, the gods and the mortals, but also connected to last year's "Avengers", not to mention the frequent exposure of actors in reality to watch the film The intangible influence of , added together is like a pot of hodgepodge. As for the food like chowder, it has a variety of flavors and layers when it is successfully cooked. If it fails, it will be like a disaster. How does the pot of "Thor 2" taste like?
"Funny" is the key flavor of this pot of chowder. Although the jokes about the dislocation of characters and environments brought about by the intersection of God's Domain and the Earth in the last movie are still in use, they are obviously much less. After all, such superficial jokes can only be made fresh. Inspired by "The Avengers", Loki has taken on a much more important funny burden than the upper part. This way of digging out the humor from the character's personality is much more reliable, but it also brings a problem: it is difficult for you to He was moved by the serious choice he made.
This is caused by two reasons. One is that sometimes it is unclear what the motives of the characters are. I think this is the goal that the screenwriter strives to achieve, which makes the characters more complex; It is to make the audience laugh as an actor. Although you are in a play, you can still laugh, but it is not so easy to make you cry while you are in a play. It is not inadvisable to sacrifice "sadness" for "funny", but considering that the plot here is driven by the sadness caused by "the death of the mother", the overall mood does not feel coherent and natural.
Another important ingredient in this pot of hodgepodge is "special effects". I feel that the director can't wait to put special effects into each plot, which is really fully considered for the audience who bought 3D tickets. In addition to rich imagination and realistic texture, the premise of good special effects is to serve the plot well. For example, the common battle scenes in movies, no matter what way, the reason why we feel tragic is because we care about the people who participate in the battle, just like this year's "Pacific Rim" and "Iron Man 3", even if the battle is only in front of us. The armor made by special effects, but we are worried about the people in the armor; on the contrary, although the second half of "Superman: Man of Steel" caused the house to collapse, no matter how hard it was played, both sides were unscathed, and it was easy to make people impatient. .
Let's go back to "Thor 2" with both hot and cold weapons. Sometimes it's really hard to believe that the "fairies" who can't die no matter how much they fall or blow up can be stabbed to death with a knife and a blade? Those human scientists who are pistachios will definitely not die, and if everyone can't die, what should we care about? Just admiring the dazzling special effects and waiting for everything to return to normal?
When I walked out of the theater after watching the film, I remembered a joke in a cross talk: a liar opened a company called "Sincere Spirit", specializing in the production of "high-tech products" - it seems to be in line with the serious confrontation of scientists in this film. Supernatural power. The creators of this film are also working hard. For their enthusiasm to add all kinds of seasonings, I can't say that the "Thor 2" pot of chowder is not a qualified dish, but the mixed taste is really unbalanced, and it is also Naturally not delicious.
