If Marvel and DC are the competition between superhero-themed movies, then DC has been at a disadvantage in recent years. However, no one in this world will lose a lifetime. Just like comics, the most exciting story is always about the loser turning over. .
In recent years, superheroes have begun to be active on the big screen, and the powerful CG technology has perfectly constructed an illusory and wonderful world of superheroes. Marvel’s side is okay, every movie is steady and steady, every step of the way, every movie is digging a big hole for the next one, just waiting for the audience to jump in, DC is simply dead end, a few years ago Nolan The Batman shot is indeed enough for DC fans for many years. The "Watchmen" directed by Xiao Zha is really good, and the dark and realistic style is indeed in line with DC's world view. Later, "Superman: Man of Steel" is also good enough. From Superman From the beginning of the battle against Batman, this guy was stunned, and Warner was willing to spend money. From the beginning to the end of the movie, Superman was flying around and fighting. When I walked out of the movie theater, I had a movie dizziness for the first time. Superman pk Batman, what a wonderful story, the result is a simple fight, the master's resourcefulness is not reflected in the slightest. Justice League vs. Doomsday, the death of Superman, a bleak victory for the Justice League, should have brought tears to my eyes, because Dachao's character portrayal was too weak, when Superman died in battle, my heart had no waves, even in After thinking about where to eat after watching the movie, the much-anticipated "Suicide Squad" also hit the street. There are many sad things in this world. For me, one of them is that when people around me are chatting about Marvel Universe movies, I want to tell them that there are not only Captain and Iron Man in the world, but also Green Lantern and Little Boy. Shan, those are also very wonderful stories, but when I recommended related movies to them, I found that DC really didn't have any movies that could be given to friends. Wen Ziren is the director of the movie "Sea King". This guy has a good ability to scare people. He really has nothing to say about creating the atmosphere of a thriller. Except for the "Conjuring" series, many people tend to ignore that Wen Ziren is actually an electrician. The director of Saw Horror, and Chainsaw Horror has since developed into a classic B-movie series. It can be said that one movie is enough to enshrine the gods. As for "Fast and Furious 7", I think the actors in that film are too strong, either Vin Diesel or Guo Da Statham, and did not give Wen Ziren much space to exert his skills, the film can only be said to be quite satisfactory. The movie "Sea King" proves Wen Ziren's control over commercial movies. Let's talk about the better parts of this movie.
The first is the story. When it comes to the story, either a story with strong logic or a story with profound ideological significance is made. Commercial films are genre films that hover between the two. The former is suitable for suspense films, while the latter is suitable for literature and art. Nolan can make good use of the latter to make the "Batman" trilogy, but the story style of Aquaman obviously does not belong to the Gothic surrealism style of Gotham City, and it cannot be made into a suspense film, then It can only be made into a popcorn movie. The story of Aquaman is about the sea, and the story about the sea should be sunny, and the story about Wang is biased towards some kind of verbal nature, and this kind of story is the easiest for the public to understand. There are two types, one is the story of the prince beheading the dragon to save the princess in the tower, and the other is the story of the persecuted prince killing the rebel and finally ascending the throne. These two themes can be developed into any type of wonderful story. , the former has been played by Disney, the latter has "Hamlet" in ancient times, "The Lion King" recently, and even "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" also played a story of a gorilla overthrowing a rebel, so why can't superheroes be themes? The young king of Wakanda from the jungle does a good job of the genre. Whether it is the original work or Wen Ziren's choice on the script, the prince's overthrow of tyranny is also the most suitable script for "Sea King".
The story is not complicated, and the face-blind audience does not need to spend most of their time figuring out the identities of the various characters. In short, Aquaman is a wandering half-blood prince. His primary goal is to overthrow the tyranny and let Atlantis be connected with the mainland. The peaceful coexistence of human beings, this is a simple story frame, the simple frame means that Wen Ziren doesn't have to deliberately arrange certain plots to make the movie look more dramatic, the audience knows that Aquaman will get everything in the end, but the simple story frame means that Wen Ziren Jen has to portray every character well to make the film more fleshed out. Aquaman is the protagonist of the movie. This guy has shoulder-length blonde hair, a bushy beard, and tattoos similar to fish scales on both sides of his broad chest muscles. What makes this guy special is that he grows under his characteristic eyebrows With a pair of characteristic eyes, those eyes make him look particularly charming. This actor is obviously born in the wrong era. He should be the Viking who drank beer and robbed everywhere in the Viking era. But it's not bad. Now he's playing Aquaman. This man with a burst of male hormones looks like a man who has no advantages, but under his strong chest muscles is actually a heart of self-doubt, and he can vaguely feel his own destiny. , but he can't accept the responsibility he has to bear. A successful man always has a woman behind him to push him. At this time, Mera appeared. This woman who looked back with a smile and shone her eyes, led Neptune to the king's journey. The portrayal of her is more about her attitude towards the human beings in the terrestrial world. , This woman is not only a vase for the whole movie, she is a woman who changed Aquaman, and she is also a symbol of female characters starting to take charge of their own roles in superhero movies. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has a bit of the rise of female consciousness. King Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone, Sea King faced the trident, he declared himself, he accepted the inferiority complex, accepted the fact that the mixed-race wild species were not welcome, but greatness has nothing to do with identity, what is important is what he did What, why is he fighting? In the end, Neptune got the trident, and he finally became the king. There is a story about Wangfushi in China. The same is true for the story of Neptune's mother and his biological father. Their love is as hard as Juliet and Romeo. He believes that he can see her, and he waits for her like Wangfushi. Unswervingly, he really waited for her for twenty years, and finally at sunrise one day, when he was middle-aged, he waited for her. She didn't dislike him at all, and their family was reunited. The plot alone is not enough, the movie also needs scenes. The simple story frame means that Wen Ziren can spend more time in the movie to describe the scenes of the movie, which is definitely the best part of the Aquaman movie. I don't know why, but the superheroes now seem to prefer to fight with the villains in the city. The scene setting of the busy and high-rise buildings is really boring to watch, especially when the heroes start to fight, the iron man's The thermal weapons flew around, and soon a building collapsed with the sound of bombs exploding, and soon Dr. Banner turned into a Hulk to tear up the enemy's armored weapons. The captain, who can't fly, can only run on the ground. Running in a hurry, fighting the enemy alone, Superman fights Batman even more vomiting blood, Dachao can grab the enemy's neck and fly from the city to the city and hit the wall, it's a pain in the head.
When I first saw the underwater scene of Atlantis in "Sea King", I felt like I was washed my eyes. Those blue sea water seemed to wash away the dust on my retina. Atlantis is a city located at the bottom of the ocean. Its people built a new palace next to the ruins, the old fortress covered with green marine plants interprets how glorious this nation was on land, and the statue of the Lord of the Seven Seas holding a trident in a circle shows the The majesty and pride of this nation in the past, penetrating the dark sea water and scattering the light above the city makes the place look full of mystery. The occasional giant whales that swim by give people the illusion of whales parading in the sky, and the interior of the city is even more brilliantly lit. , just like giving people a feeling of a future city. There are also scenes depicting deserts and major underwater kingdoms with their own characteristics in the movie. The words are not enough to describe this beautiful underwater world built by Wen Ziren, and Wen Ziren himself He was born in a thriller again. This kind of place is deep sea and ruins. He can't help showing his hands. The Valley of the Wicked is this guy's masterpiece. "Fantasy Drifting", these magnificent scenes set Aquaman apart from other superhero movies. In fact, just looking at the scenery is worth the ticket price.
Under the passionate and carefree bgm, the beautiful and charming Wonder Woman is wearing a cloak and flinging the lasso of truth to pull back a game for DC in the neighing of the dark horse, and now "Aquaman" has contributed to the DC universe, just like "Aquaman" In the comics of "Justice League", Aquaman and Wonder Woman have never been the core protagonists of the comics, but they always stand up to save the day when Dachao and the master are in crisis. Now it seems that the real story behind the movie is still the same, and I can feel at ease. I gave the movie "Aquaman" to my friends. I heard that "Shazam" is also being filmed. The story of this child turning into a warrior is serialized at the end of each issue of Justice League comics. I hope it can also bring us surprise.
