In order to answer the doubts of friends who have not watched the movie Star Wars on the homepage, I wrote this movie review to roughly describe what kind of movie this work is.
And I explained in advance that I have a high tolerance for sequels. Generally speaking, as long as the plot is beautiful enough or makes me happy, I can accept it. And my acceptance of popcorn movies is relatively high, such as watching aos1 next door st, although when I watched it, there were countless why they didn't communicate with the earth in advance, let nero go to the earth, why Vulcan and the earth a little bit There is no defense system, why did nero drill down, a bunch of military cadets were not pulled out by the emergency gathering to do something but watched passionately, and there are similar to the captain, although you disobeyed the first mate's order, the plot proves that you are right, But what's the use of running back to Earth if you don't meet old Spock? ⬅️Although I have countless doubts in my heart, the popcorn movie allows me to ignore these places and show me handsome men, so I can.
I watched ep9 under this premise.
I don't have a lot of feelings for SW, so it seems that some heroine actually calls Skywalker casually. Where is the Pahuang who Obi-Wan Anakin Luke beat down? Not at all (.
on the basis of.
I would say.
sw9 is a very unique piece of shit.
Why do you say he's cool?
Because it must be said logically, although there are many very mysterious places in it, such as why Hux suddenly jumped backwards, why Pahuang thinks that the heroine cut herself (even if she surrendered to save a friend) is equal to her surrender Because of her dark side, she surrendered to herself. What is the protection of her daughter by selling her daughter to a slave trader, and why did Leia's body not turn to ashes when she died? Where did your healing force come from? It came out. Is Pahuang a force shipbuilding force? Thousands of warships have been built casually. The most important thing is, JJ, what are you obsessed with bombing planets——
It's cryptic to ignore but you have to explain it's not unexplainable.
Its overall logic is actually smooth.
For example, let me tell you at the beginning, I'm sorry Pahuang is resurrected. This news was brought out by enemy spies, and then the heroine and the others took on a task. The name of the task is to find the location of Pahuang first and beat Pahuang. They went to find the legendary props that could lead them to find Pahuang. Of course, there are no legendary props. If you want to find the legendary props, you must first complete task 2, explore xx star, and when you explore xx star, trigger the plot to drop quicksand. So Luke was looking for a mysterious item that he had not found for 800 years, and they found it casually. Then came another tool snake, mainly to elicit the heroine's ability to heal the snake's wound with the force. The previous people were trapped in the cave for 800 years without escaping. As a result, the snake was an exit as soon as it left, and after going out, the storyline...
That is, although the whole story can't wait to be turned into countless small tasks, each of which is almost unrelated to each other, so people will have a kind of "...? How can there be this", but the overall logic is at least simple and easy to understand.
But on this basis, because it is stuffed with too many missions (each mission can see a classic old character), there are two problems that I can't accept. There's another question that has nothing to do with this but that really blows my mind.
1. The plot is too rushed.
That is, there is absolutely no foreshadowing.
For example, you said that Hux jumped backwards, yes, although the highest order has been established for him before, I want to be an aristocratic dead republic cnm image even if I die, but because he hates Cairo so much, "I just want to see him lose" The mentality decided to be a spy, ah, even if there are many doubts here, such as the general, if you surrender to the other party as you, will the other party really accept you, you have thought about it, but the Republic will not use people like you as generals and so on. , but it's not impossible.
But the plot doesn't make any sense at all. No Cairo people abused him, didn't quarrel with Cairo people (of course I understand that if he was a spy, he was courting death, so he probably wouldn't film them arguing), but just, without any psychological and plot twists, no Any hint, and the movie snaps and tells you, hello, Hux is a spy.
I:?
My memory is still stuck in ep8. He saw the Cairo people fall to the ground and wanted to secretly kill Cairo, but he was beaten up by Cairo, so he was obedient, and when he turned around, you told me that he hated Cairo so much that he rebelled. .
That is, my logic tells me it's possible, and my emotions feel like "what are you talking about side-scrolling stories".
Similar in fact, there is kylo's reformation.
Leia's death makes him change his ways. There is no problem. Although it is a cliché, the death of a loved one awakens his conscience. I have watched a lot of soap operas for this kind of plot, and I can do it. But you have to give me a foreshadowing. For example, every time Leia called him in the past, he would shake violently. Every time he saw Leia, he would hesitate. There are also feelings, so Leia is the last straw, pushing him to the bright side.
But what the whole ep8 shows is: I don't care about you.
Throughout ep8, the Cairo people didn't show any special reaction to his mother at all, and they almost shouted at his mother's face that I didn't care about you for a long time.
And then ep9, ah, this tells me that leia's sudden call made him suddenly give up everything he had acquired and change his ways.
My logic is understandable (and after all, the actor died... no way, hey), but it doesn't have any foreshadowing before ep8, which makes my emotions feel difficult to accept.
I know that ep8 and ep9 are not the same person in charge, so there will definitely be differences in the plot. But brother, after all, you are going to make a series of movies, say hello in advance and say ep9, I want Leia to wake up Cairo's conscience, you let Cairo shake a little bit towards Leia, this problem can be solved.
It's really not good, add a little memory at the beginning of ep9, let me see that Cairo occasionally thinks of Leia and the past, for example, he is not so firm, that is, give me a hint, then I can.
The problem is that it doesn't, so I say that the plot is very rush work.
Similar to the ending, they broadcasted the whole universe on ep8 and told everyone to unite, but Nobody came. As a result, they made a desperate attempt on ep9 and came again. This time everyone rushed over. Ah! There are small planes all over the sky, as if they can drown the Pahuang army. Is there any emotional foreshadowing in the middle?
There are actually some things that must be said. For example, Pahuang Quanwei Broadcasting will either surrender, or I will kill you all, so everyone collapses and rises up one after another. OK, fine. But you have to give me a plot to make me think that everyone can't live anymore, and make me realize that this life is really not lived by people, people will beat Pa Huang, well, that's it. but? nor
Most of the bad things at the beginning were done by Cairo people, damn it. Although the Pahuang Yuwei still exists, but you can see everyone's ep8's cowardice against the fist order, telling me that the more terrifying Pahuang is alive, and everyone burst into courage.
My reason understands it, but my emotions don't quite accept it.
There is also how the new girlfriend like Mr. Pilot was beaten up by rey and suddenly felt that he liked rey. Of course, I know this is the classic you and I have played a game and it is the sympathy of brothers. But there was no foreshadowing, the girlfriend appeared as a furious smuggler, and suddenly left this character...
Yes, but very mysterious.
There are so many places like that, so this lays the groundwork for what I think ep9 is a chic shit.
Next...
2. The screenwriter has done too many plots that are unclear and have to be justified by the audience themselves
Because the plot mentioned above was too rushed, and even the emotional foreshadowing was not done well, and everywhere I had to use logic to convince myself that "this place is not so unreasonable", so in the end, a bunch of vague things were not explained clearly. I have to rely on my own brain to justify it. As a result, the shortcoming of the audience's different brains is very natural.
White space in the plot is never a problem, and a movie without space is not a good movie. But you leave it blank until a thousand viewers come to a thousand different motivational conclusions I think it's still a bit problematic.
For example, the screenwriter told everyone, hello, rey is actually Pa Huang's granddaughter. Pahuang has always wanted to get Rey. He wants to use Rey's body to resurrect him. The way is to make Rey full of hatred and turn to his dark side.
What is the specific operation.
He didn't recall emotionally how I killed your parents, your parents didn't want to say where you were before they died, you know they really loved you, but you grew up alone, you're pitiful, You can't understand, I did it all.
His way is to show the heroine's teammates being beaten up in the sky, and then say look! They are all miserable here because you led the way! How! Is not very guilty!
...Well, I don't think guilt and the dark side are exactly the same thing 8...
Then he said, if you want to save your friend, you have to kill me!
...then the heroine really raised her sword. The concert venue was very lively.
Just, I understand why the heroine picked up the sword, I understand it very well, I understand that I don't quite understand why I cut Pahuang = throwing at my dark side.
(800 years ago, Anakin Luke and the others did a good job with you, and they didn't say that in order to protect the Milky Way, you would have a dark side after finishing it.)
Ah, here I discussed with my friends and we came up with seven or eight different explanations, like what the point is not the dark side but the completion of the ceremony, as long as rey has a little dark side in his heart, it can be ignored, surrendering to the Pahuang for the sake of his friends is also itself A kind of weakness...
After all, the screenwriter didn't make it clear.
Similarly, why didn't Leia's body turn to ashes immediately after her death.
This even directly came up with the statement that Leia's soul lived in Cairo's body, Cairo saved the heroine, and Cairo's soul was also in the heroine's body. Of course, this series has opened the fourth installment, what is it that the Cairo people are still alive! It also leaves a gap to teach new apprentices.
But in the end, it's everyone's guess. If the screenwriter wants to do this on purpose, then everyone thinks that Cairo might be able to live, then this is a failure, if the screenwriter is unintentional...
That's even more failure.
That is to say, I have to spend half of the whole time thinking about the motivation of these people to do things, and some of this brain-making work should be done by me, and some should not be done by me. The screenwriter asked me to do it...
It's no wonder that after watching the movie, people will think "...what kind of plane are you in Hong Kong".
3. Then, I would like to point out a third disadvantage.
That is.
Final battle.
No lightsaber fights! ! ! ! !
no! ! ! ! !
no! ! ! ! !
Star Wars without lightsabers, to be honest, what's the difference between this and Detective Conan without the sleepy Kogoro Mori! ! ! How is this different from a detective novel without a mystery show! ! ! ! ! !
The way Pa Huang fights with the female protagonist is called Turtle Style Qi Bo! ! ! Have you seen Dragon Ball? ? ? Friends who don't have it, you can take a look, because the fight really looks like a wave on both sides! ! ! The problem is that people put waves on it, so it's so beautiful! What is your exile wave! It's lightning! Yes, yes I don't know how to describe it! ! It's really just light waves fighting each other. If a lightsaber can't fight well, I'll take another! ! ! Then you can come up with some kind of plot where the crowds of Jedi knights of all dynasties are behind rey to cheer for him, and there is no such thing! ! ! what! Not even a memory to kill! Really just fighting a little bit! ! ! Is this your final battle! ! ! Call me back to practice! ! ! ! ! !
Brother, you are Star Wars, you are not a fantasy movie, so be more awake! ! ! And even fantasy films are not popular with this kind of special effects anymore, okay? ! I almost burst out laughing when the lightning fell in the hands of the Emperor Papa, and the special effects were really bad! ! !
Well that's the whole reason why I think eo9 is a chic crappy movie.
But it's not without merit. For example, the actors are very hardworking, especially Cairo by name. After he surrendered, he didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, but his performance really made people feel that silence is better than sound at this time, and several other people are still online. of. In fact, several classic emotional cards that should be played have also been played. Anyway, it's not entirely without highlights. It's just that the bright spots have not been touched and the shortcomings have been squeezed into the eyes again.
I think the biggest disadvantage is that it is too rushed in the final analysis, from the plot is too compact to the lack of focus in the decisive battle, and it has a bit of a "cross business" smell. There are too many things to talk about, so it will be like a child before going away, his parents say that I will make you whatever you want, so the child decides "I want it all", and finally he has indigestion such as indigestion bad feeling.
So it's really unique, normal bad movies, I've seen, basically either the plot is unknown, or it makes people sleepy, but this movie has neither, it even has a very clear plot line, but I don't know Why does it just look super bad (.
Finally, it is the name of JJ. We Star Trek fans often bitch that he was an undercover agent from Star Wars, but he successfully used ep9 to prove that he wasn't, he's still very good at Star Trek, at best he just took a Star Wars flavor without understanding anything. There's nothing wrong with space opera, but it's good to watch it. I even like his aos-flavored st. However ep9 I'm not even happy.
Comrade JJ, we were wrong, you're clearly an undercover agent sent by Star Trek to Star Wars. The organization has wrongly blamed you for so many years, and I apologize to you.
