I actually felt "mediocre" in Nolan's movies

The landlord is also half a Nolan fan. "Inception" and "Star Wear" have always been my favorites. His younger brother Jonathan Nolan's "Westworld" is also one of the landlord's favorite American dramas.

"Inception"

After the new millennium, Hollywood is dominated by Disney, either Marvel Super Heroes or live-action Disney princesses. Only Nolan's movies can give me a little excitement in this boring era.

When Nolan was promoted to the altar by fans, there were also many people who were disdainful, whether it was coercive or tricky, but no matter how much he sprayed it, "mediocre" would not be the label of Nolan's films.

As a result, after reading "Creed", people can't understand it, but I really feel "mediocre".

The idea of ​​the whole story is mediocre. In the future, the environment of the world will deteriorate, and human beings will become extinct, so there is nothing new in the theme setting of wanting to reverse time and destroy the past.

The setting of anti-entropy is a little special in the time-travel flow, and it is also the core of the entire film narrative.

So the narrative style is new? No.

First of all, Nolan really played too much with the timeline, so that the audience was fatigued. From "Memento", the time was chopped up and walked backwards, and the audience was amazed. Every time the timeline is played, the value of this meme is depreciated, just like Moore's Law.

"Memory pieces"

On the other hand, the ring time of "Creed" and the setting of the grandfather paradox have also been shown in a large number of science fiction works.

"Terminator", "Back to the Future", "Ring Messenger" and "Star Wear" are all ring time settings.

"Ring Messenger"

The future self saves himself or something, vulgar.

The frame of the story itself is very ordinary, so you can tell it well and the emotions are in place. Just like Cameron's "Avatar", a vulgar story can make everyone's heart surge.

It is a pity that "Creed" focuses on the "subtlety" of playing the positive and negative timelines, and completely ignores the audience's viewing experience. The female scientist in the film said: Don't try to understand, try to feel. Well, this movie doesn't intend to make the audience understand, nor does it intend to make the audience feel good.

The whole film is a tool man, none of which can arouse the audience's resonance and interest.

Protagonist: The origin is unknown. Inexplicably shouldering the responsibility of saving all mankind, I don't know where his psychological energy comes from? Even the third-rate network rebirth Shuangwen, the protagonist's settings are richer than this face-blind anonymous. At least give him a bit of a miserable childhood, a life mentor who redeems his destiny, and other cliché settings? Sorry, not at all. I am a prop to show the positive and negative flow of time.

Although it looks straight and bendable, she doesn't call the heroine and the male 2. The sensational scenes of life and death only feel embarrassed.

Neil: The origin is unknown, and it looks like a bend. According to the plot speculation, it should be the routine of being carefully trained by the male protagonist in the future, and then returning through time to sacrifice the savior.

However, this method has long been abused in the Terminator. From the first part of "Terminator" more than 30 years ago to the recent "Terminator: Dark Fate", this stalk has been used, and both Ji Qing and Ji Qing dramas have been played.

"Terminator I"

Terminator: Dark Fate

Maybe Nolan also thinks that this method is too vulgar, so that the plot of how the male protagonist trains Neil is not filmed at all, and he just says a few nauseous lines such as "I will wait for you at the end of time" to let the audience make up their minds.

However, although this method is vulgar, it is effective when explained clearly. This is also the most emotionally resonant part of the entire film, and the co-production can move the audience anyway! In the end, when Neil sacrificed himself to death, his emotions could be pushed up!

Now, such a simple story has to ask the audience to guess through hidden lines (Diet Coke) and a humble token, I really don't know what to say.

Gao Mei: The whole world doesn't have my son's important sperm.

The only purpose of her existence is to be PUA by the villain, thereby causing trouble for the protagonist and sabotaging his easy victory. At the critical moment of the life-and-death battle that finally concerns the survival of all mankind, she has to kill her husband one step ahead with emotion. Anyway, she knows that the protagonist has a halo, and they will win no matter what she does.

The male protagonist, on the other hand, is concerned with the fate of all mankind, but he is faced with the difficulty of making humanitarian choices in the face of a master: If I can't even save the woman and child in front of me, how can I save all mankind?

Yes, if I want to say that the male protagonist is also a bodyguard, Neil and all mankind really paid the wrong price.

BOSS Sato: The only person in the whole film who has a background, barely has emotion and character logic.

But as a black and white take-all, rich enough to rival the country, mastering global nuclear weapons resources, mastering the ultimate big boss of time-reversing Dafa, there is no domineering tyrant to destroy half of the universe with a flick of his finger, there is no terrifying neuroticism and language charm of the clown, and there is no Hanni With a soul-stirring look, only a straight male cancer at the bottom of the society has the ability to abuse his wife with a belt, and say "I can't get you, no one can get it", "I'm a god" and so on. .

Do you destroy the world in the end or because you have terminal pancreatic cancer? ? ? The political correctness of vilifying white men can't be so vulgar, right?

The phrase "balls stuffed in the throat" that he said when threatening the male protagonist was the limit of this diaosi's imagination.

Indian Woman: Background Setting Instruction Tool. Use her mouth to explain the background information of the Tenet organization, the algorithm of the future people and so on. After completing these tasks, you can honor the dog, and let the male protagonist be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Let's talk about other technical aspects.

Visual effects: After spending so much money to blow up a 747, the audience was not excited because the plane was just a backdrop. Comparing the wonders of the dream in "Inception", the wonders of the universe in "Star Wear", and the "Creed" with a rewind effect to show the reverse flow of time, it's really not enough to watch.

Music: "Creed" shows that without Hans Zimmer, Nolan's films are nothing but deafening noises.

It turns out that Hans Zimmer is the soul, is it true that Nolan is dragging his feet?

Editing: There is only a cross-cut of Neil visiting the warehouse + the male protagonist's explanation, which makes us feel a little bit of the rhythm of Nolan's previous movies. Other than that, it's very confusing, and there isn't a single action scene that the audience can understand. Who am I all the way? where am I? In addition, the positive and negative teams are stupidly indistinguishable.
