What's wrong with Godzilla and how to fix it

Emmie 2022-04-23 07:01:11

The faults of this film are as follows:


1. The protagonist is unknown. At the
beginning, you thought it was Ken Watanabe, and then everyone thought it was Lao Shi + Ken Watanabe
. As a result, Ken Watanabe has no meaning at all, and Lao Bai is also inexplicable. What a foreshadowing of the son to be the protagonist


but... this movie is called Godzilla! The protagonist should be Godzilla! The protagonist should be Godzilla! (Important things to say twice.)
Other humans It should be a supporting role for monsters and special effects scenes. I bought a ticket to watch monster fights, not to see your father-son relationship or family relationship.


2. The rhythm is not well grasped. The
film is in the form of visual and substitution experience, the director's The function is to let the audience engage in and "dream"
in this film, 1/3 of the human actors' lines and scenes can be deleted, because it is meaningless to express the "theme", but prolongs the rhythm, and the audience's emotions are wasted on irrelevant to the theme. The
length of the film is 2 hours, and the core fight is about 20 minutes, all of which are concentrated at the back end of the film. Although the special effects are still ok (and only at the level of ok, I will talk about it later), but the long foreplay makes the climax come. At that time, the audience was already a little numb.


3. The core fighting scenes are not enough
. The big action scenes in the film are all dark. It is estimated that they want to increase the "horror" atmosphere, but please, what is the age of the mainstream audience? Have you seen it?
Maybe it can cover up the flaws of 3D rendering. This is a matter of attitude.
This leads to the finished product of the monster battle scene, which is a total punch in the darkness. The level of play is higher than 2 positions

How should this film be saved


1.Character and storyline
The role of Ken Watanabe is completely unnecessary, along with his female assistant. Lao Bai and his son are the main sparring partners throughout the whole process, and the son's wife and children are all deleted.
The process of explaining the origin of the monster does not require special lines and scenes. Just in the development of the plot. (I think of the black talker in Metal Gear Solid 4, the tragic story of the boss can be heard while inquiring, don't give me the CG dialogue specifically)


2. Let the special camera teach the director Godzilla's background The cultural
director did not interpret the character of Godzilla. Although Godzilla is a monster, it represents the "power of nature", and it is all to help human beings to clean up the mess, and then return to the sea to hide their merits and fame , do not take the masses by needle and thread.
It is simply the Comintern among monsters, powerful and cool, yet not understood by human beings. The temperament should be a character similar to Spwan.


In this way, the human role has a task, then It's the bond with Godzilla, not an independent story that has nothing to do with it now. Lao Bai's wife can be killed by the villain monster, and it's best to set it as "this is a monster caused by human nuclear pollution" or " This is a monster created by the human military
to show the "unnatural" nature of the enemy.


Then in the contact with the villain, Godzilla has to save the old white son at a critical moment, so there is a contrast "The villain kills my wife, Godzilla saves my son", but the military is ready to kill them all anyway, which highlights the "incomprehensible" nature of Godzilla


. The last part is the fight part. After streamlining the staff and the parts, the extra budget can already lengthen
and strengthen the core fight part.
This part is simple and simple
.
He was dispatched and beaten to the point where he was beaten


.
Facing this unnatural evil, Godzilla appeared and prepared to destroy


it.
This dog man and woman actually had a couple of skills together,Godzilla was beaten to


the ground.
At this time, Lao Bai used a certain technological instrument developed by him (this instrument can give some scenes in the middle of the film), and let his son rush into the enemy line to activate Godzilla's rebirth (the bond between the protagonist and the monster)
Godzilla's second stage transformation, Using super-must, really. Mijia particle mouth cannon, smashing the dog and the man and


finally finishing the job, Godzilla looked back at the protagonist at the end, screamed in the sky, the screen went black, and the staff showed





me to save me. I think this film can probably go back to 7.5 points, if other parts are more colorful, it can reach 8 points
