On the way back from Hong Kong, I flipped through a promotional publication I picked up at Kwun Tong MTR Station. It contained an introduction to the latest episode of Indiana Jones ("Raiders of the Lost Ark"), saying:
"Anyone born with the prefix 7, when they were young, always I was stunned by the bizarre journey in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and even wished I could go on an adventure with Dr. Jones."
Don't say someone born in the 1970s, even if I am a post-80s generation like me, even if I was only 3 years old when the third "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released in 1989, and I have already regarded the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" trilogy as a monument to the movie in my heart, silently drawing a space in my memory to enshrine this. A series of movies, said above: The best movie trilogy I've ever seen.
After 19 years, the long-awaited fourth film is finally here. I just finished watching this film in a cinema in Hong Kong on May 22, the day it was released globally. Considering Due to the time difference, the audience in that movie theater, including me, were the first audiences of this movie.
The three who were in their prime twenty years ago are now all dying. In 20 years, Stephen Spielberg (Stephen Spielberg) made "Schindler's List" at the Oscars, and "Jurassic Park" and "Saving Private Ryan" swept the global box office. George Lucas (George Lucas) completed his Star Wars prequel trilogy, Harrison Ford (Harrison Ford) played the suspect of murdering his wife, played the US president who I can't even see. Now they all run to sixty in unison.
With a "Now or Never" attitude (Harrison Ford said that if he didn't finish the film in 2008, he would quit the series forever, because he was too old), three big names got together again to make this film. The film, which picks up last year's messed-up Shia LeBourf as Dr. Jones' son, also does a good job of the director's gags to highlight the film's comedic elements. Working with Stephen Spielberg on two summer blockbusters in a row, this kid's future is boundless.
If there are heroes, there will naturally be villains. The one who takes on this task is the ever-changing Kate Blanchet (Cate Blanchet), who has played the Queen of England and Bob Dylan. This time she plays a female general of the Soviet Union. This time nearly killed Dr. Jones. But the role played by Fu Bo, who was rated as the greatest screen hero in history by the American Film Institute, naturally did not know that he was a vegetarian.
Maybe that's the problem with this movie, a 60-year-old hero, no matter how old he is, he can't have a superhuman physique. Even though Forber has been laughing at himself aging in the film, it is enough to make many young people feel ashamed in the face of danger.
Imagine how many heroes can escape by hiding in the refrigerator during a nuclear explosion, and how many heroes can fall three times in a three-tiered waterfall hundreds of meters high without being injured. Everything in this is almost absurd, it seems There is a gap in the thrilling scenes of the natural transition in the first three episodes. Even Transformers Kid Shia LeBourf can glide like Tarzan through the forest in times of danger.
All these common problems of modern movies appear in this film, of course, there are also critical elements of hardcore movie fans like me. In particular, the magnificent scene at the end of the film is very spectacular. The entire Mayan ancient city collapsed in an instant, the Amazon water poured in, and the scene where everything was buried under the water was breathtaking.
Legends have a continuation day, and legends always have an end. To me, whether the film is a phoenix swinging its tail or a dog's tail continuing the mink, the important thing is that the three people got together and made another movie. When I walked out of the theater after watching the movie, I believed that Dr.Jones would not come back this time. Maybe in a few years, the two major directors will pull Shia LeBourf, who plays Jones' son in the film, to make a movie similar to the young Indiana. , but in my mind, this monument has come to an end.
