Yuan Xiang directed the landmark films of that year, from Jaws to Jurassic Park, from Schindler's List to Saving Private Ryan, from ET Alien to the Third Contact, from the Ark Trooper to the Holy Grail Trooper, from the reveal The terrifying triangular fins of the water, to the Cretaceous dinosaurs rampaging the streets of 20th century cities, from the little girl in red lying in a cart full of corpses, to the bloody and real Normandy beaches, from the bicycles vacated How many classic shots, how many shocking pictures, how many eternal memories are deeply imprinted in people's minds. Not only did he create a box office miracle, but he also influenced the entire film industry.
Spielberg's label used to represent a movie that was beyond imagination, but this time it was bland and old-fashioned. As a sequel to a landmark adventure film in the 1980s, although it can't be said to be a bad movie, the film is very far from the expectations of the golden combination of Spielberg, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford in all aspects. distant.
For Hollywood, full of innovation and imagination, maintaining previous standards means stepping back, both artistically and entertainingly.
First of all, from the perspective of entertainment, recent entertainment blockbusters such as: Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, Spider-Man, Die Hard, The Matrix, Superman sequels, etc., have a lot of innovations and breakthroughs in visual effects and scenes. In terms of plot and characterization, there is an obvious and larger gap than this movie. Compared with the recent film National Treasure of the same theme, I personally think that the National Treasure is more exciting.
From a cinematic point of view, it is even more incomparable with Spielberg's other films, such as Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, etc. I feel that the level of Si's works is declining, from the later works Minority Report, World War, artificial intelligence and so on.
From the Elvis music at the beginning, to the elements of the Cold War throughout the film, to the soundtrack full of historical features, people can't help but think: the director and the producer don't want to create or break anything, they just want to evoke people's memories and continue the previous classics . The picture is less important, the plot less important, the characters less important, the theme less important; and most importantly, the whip-wielding, cowboy hat-wearing Indiana Jones is back again.
