Early spring, the wind is uncertain.
[Ready Player One] was released, and there was a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes. 100,000+ people chase after me, all want to find the easter eggs in the movie as soon as possible.
Whoever finds more will know the movie best. Whoever finds it quickly is the supreme martial artist.
In this movie, the think tank is desperately trying to find easter eggs, which is comparable to the current 100,000+ people. It is no joke.
"Looking for Easter Eggs" has become a standard for major public accounts to measure whether they are professional. Isn't a movie made to hunt for eggs?
This is self-confidence that goes deep into the bone marrow, but it has a certain murderous aura, perhaps because he has found too many easter eggs, and some of them are even hard.
The 100,000+ people yawned and hadn't slept for two days and two nights, but they still clicked "release" with their last breath.
As a result, "Full Analysis of the Easter Eggs of the Number One Player", "How many of these 138 Easter eggs can you understand", and "I have found all the 119 Easter eggs of the number one player" were born.
Readers flocked to it and were amazed: what a quick egg!
Hearing this, the 100,000+ who lived in the loft apartment smiled and ate the stew, with a morbid blushing on his pale face.
Although he doesn't know what Easter eggs are, he doesn't even know why there are movie and game Easter eggs. But people are floating in the rivers and lakes. Compared with winning or losing, the original intention is no longer important.
I heard that there is a big car road in the Alps Valley, and there are scenery on both sides.
For me, the easter egg is the sign, winning or losing is not important, and finding all the easter eggs will not be equated with understanding movies.
It's just that the director cooked a bowl of noodles and pressed a hot sun egg at the bottom of the bowl. It doesn't matter if you eat or not, what matters is who you eat with.
At the end of the credits, the developer of the game said, thank you for playing my game. I always feel like this is Spielberg saying to the audience, thank you for watching my movie.
So, stop looking for easter eggs, take your time and enjoy.
——The above article of "Watching Movies" magazine "Stop looking for easter eggs, you don't bother me"
The following - if someone:
(full-text-serious-heavy-drama-through)
A film whose plot is summarized as "Diaosi counterattacks Ma Huateng", and even its development route "Three Keys" was directly broken at the very beginning of the film.
But why can it become a science fiction film comparable to Avatar, an ultimate commercial film that can still be discussed by the public many years later.
(I only talk about commercial films in this article, and I want to mention the films of Richard Clint Wright, Wes Anderson, Woody Allen, Yang Dechang, Kim Jide, and Jia Zhangke to diss me. Get out of here)
Now, I'm not going to talk about a single Easter egg throughout, let's focus on the movie itself.
Let's talk about the most exciting part of the oasis first.
You can observe, in the first racing scene, the order of obstacles: conventional car chase collision, car deformation, ordinary roadblocks, subway, cliff, hammer, Tyrannosaurus Rex, King Kong. The things that appear are more and more bizarre, and the emotional experience this brings to the audience is stepped.
(This arrangement is spread throughout the film, using skills to increase the curvature of the stairs on the one hand, and lengthen the length on the other. For example, the last Gundam jumped out at the last second, as well.)
In the racing scene, the camera can freely change dozens of times within two minutes from the male protagonist's perspective, the male protagonist's third-person perspective, the male second-person perspective, the female protagonist's perspective, and the god's perspective in two minutes. Extremely sexual editing (both sound and visual)
For example, in the few seconds of flying over the cliff, first the male protagonist's third-person perspective, and then through the lines, cut into the female protagonist's third perspective, the female protagonist drives forward, cutting into the perspective of God, the male protagonist's car voice is introduced into the sound bridge editing, the male protagonist enters the painting, again Turn to the third perspective of the male protagonist.
Each of these steps is not "cut" active, but driven by cause and effect, which makes the constant change of perspective almost seamless, creating a feeling of "pseudo-long shot".
It's not bad to take the initiative to "cut", most movies will do this, but it will give the audience a "sense of rupture".
Here are a few more counter-examples:
The worst, such as the anti-Japanese drama, often has a scene like this: our army fired a few shots at the enemy in the trenches, and the director suddenly cut to the enemy, and fired a few shots at our army in the same way. After that, throw a thunder. However, such a design cannot give the audience the slightest sense of presence and substitution, but will instead strengthen the sense of fragmentation in the exchange of fire between the two armies in this war.
Slightly better, such as "Pacific Rim 2", "Transformers 5", "Zhenglian", are also typical examples of unsuccessful CGI shot scheduling.
The director is to eliminate the sense of rupture and create a continuous experience similar to the game. This is also why many people feel that the film will have a sense of game-like immersion.
What is commendable is that not only the opening scene, but also The Shining and the final battle seem to be deliberately weakening the sense of division in the editing. Of course, in this way, to quickly cut the character's perspective, you can only rely on the lens scheduling. In order to save time, the lens is opened and closed at a high speed.
My compliments to the racing scene don't end there.
What's more worth mentioning is that the first car chase scene did not have any soundtrack, because here, the amount of visual elements is enough, and adding the soundtrack will only have the opposite effect. The car sound here is the best. soundtrack. When the protagonist reversed the car for the second time, a very happy soundtrack was set, which weakened the performance of the picture.
This contrast makes the audience remember this wonderful racing scene even more. What's more, there's also creativity in that breath-taking perspective from the bottom up!
So far, this film is an excellent commercial film that can be completely scored 8 points. Those with similar look and feel include "mad max4", "Ace Agent 1", "Indiana Jones 4", etc.
Then, if there are a lot of memes, you can add points, but the similar "Lego Batman" has only 8.0 points, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" has 8.1 points, and the "Pancake Man" is even more. Only 6.0 points.
So, how did it reach such a height of 9 points?
The following are the surprise bursts I found after 4 times of brushing:
1. The hilarious responsibility of the whole film: ten years of liver emperor. He looks fierce, but he is an out-and-out joker: "He's a steampunk pirate, and the things I hate most are 'steampunk', 'pirates' and 'tomato sauce'". He will also comfort the villain Nolan in his own way: "A person who has friends is not a failure." The funniest thing is that he actually got a "repetitive strain injury" neck disease for liver games. In the end, when the data was cleared, he was one step away from quitting the game in time, which made everyone feel distressed.
2. The dance in the Random Planet nightclub makes it hard for everyone to believe that they will not have some special feelings here, and even with the sound of classic disco music, the audience will be aroused a little throbbing. This is an emotional drama that is not sloppy at all. The male and female protagonists have shared some of their own information here, but Si Dao arranged it just right here, and did not pretend to be too deep and focused too much on the characters' inner bitterness and hatred. .
3. The heroine. Whether it is Artemis or Samantha, they belong to the kind of face that is more attractive and attractive to the audience. But I found out about the heroine, there are two hidden details at the end, 1) When Artie stood on the steel giant and fought Mechanical Godzilla, she also had a birthmark on the right face of her game character. 2) For most of Samantha's scenes in the whole film, the director only shot the left half of her face. She is always sitting on the right side with Wade, revealing her beautiful left face; and in the last two kiss scenes with Wade, she is on the left, directly revealing her flawed right half of her face. (Echoes with the scene where the male and female protagonists first met).
And such a dramatic exchange is precisely because the heroine begins to have confidence in herself in a series of growth, and it also reflects what Halliday said at the end, "only reality is real".
4. Some magical uses of foreshadowing:
1) The selfie cameras that surround the male protagonist in the chaotic planet are the key to the female protagonist Artie's final cracking of the energy ball shield.
2) For the final equipment (such as Rubik’s Cube, grenades, and big bombs), we all follow in the footsteps of the male protagonist and have knowledge in the store. Here, the clever director has used the "playability" of the store to have explained various key items that will be used later.
3) The Gundam suit is the level 120 artifact mentioned at the beginning, and the magic shield is the level 99 artifact given to the villain by the liver emperor.
4) Compared with the wonderful Oasis story line, the reality line such as the dialogue between the villain Nolan and the company employees is relatively weak. In fact, the background of their dialogue is telling the audience the various locations of IOI and the basic operation. In the later period, when the heroine runs up and down in the company, the audience will not be unfamiliar with it.
5) Double use foreshadowing: The male protagonist buys the X1 suit ① Explains the real name of the female protagonist, and the real identity is indirectly verified by the liver emperor. ②Intimate contact with the heroine's nightclub revealed that the crotch is very sensitive, and the hero kicked the villain's crotch at the end of the film.
6) Three uses: coins. This is arguably the best foreshadowing in the entire film. The first video after Halliday's death, he sits up from the coffin with coins over his eyes. ②The resurrection function of adding a life at the end of the film is both surprising and in line with the theme of the game. Almost every game is applauded by the audience. ③ To supplement the plot for the real identity of the curator at the end of the film, his annual salary as a consultant is only 25 cents, exactly one coin.
5. The game genius Halliday, this is the biggest motivation to promote the development of the main line. We followed the experience of this genius geek and found his true fetters and regrets step by step, including: those who have always longed for regression and regrets. Friendship; love wrapped up in the thrilling scenes and thrilling soundtrack of Shining; there is also a discussion on the essential meaning of "play" by breaking through the shackles of game clearance.
As for the room where Halliday was a child, he looked at the golden egg that Halliday had searched for a long time to find. Do you doubt as much as I do: he is not an NPC!
Last but not least, listen to his admonitions about the hero's focus on "reality" and thank you for playing my game . The man who thinks he knows Halliday best in the world, Wadeworth, at this moment, can no longer restrain his emotions.
To sum up here, I found that this is not a "cool movie" like "Indiana Jones" or "Mad Max" at all, but a masterpiece similar to Pixar animation full of feelings and sincerity, To say the corresponding movies, it should be "Robot Wall-E" and "Monsters, Inc.".
At the same time, I also insist on my point of view that excellent film and television works should have almost no defects. Do I have to read all the Batman comics in order to comment on The Dark Knight? Do I have to read all 4 stories in "Different Seasons" to evaluate The Shawshank Redemption? Fans of Xiaoshidai will say: Only those who have read Xiaoshidai's novels can understand the film Xiaoshidai. Don't you think that such remarks are no different from them?
(If it is possible for me to make a sequel, I must make Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger the hero and heroine, and arrange for the ten-year liver emperor to be a key figure similar to the sweeper hahaha)
