Youth is always restless, let alone a few boys and girls in their early 20s who have excessively jumping brain cells and endless fantasies. Among them, Scott's thinking logic is even faster than flipping a book, sometimes turning loneliness into a cactus alone in the desert under the scorching sun, and sometimes turning romance into a park swing in the broken snow under the stars, from one to hanging in the air The door leads to another time and space, reverie and reality do not need to be too clear for him. Until he encounters Ramona, whose hair color is constantly changing, her appearance also makes the development of the plot too exaggerated, and then leads to the climax of Scott "KO" Ramona's seven EXs with different styles, which are simply "red". White Machine" is a role-playing game in which evil challenges justice. And Ramona's elusiveness is like a hidden level that is unintentionally unlocked in the game. This state of excitement and satisfaction is completely the real embodiment of the player facing the unknown challenge, which may explain why Scott is so fascinated by her.
As we all know, the director cannot expect the audience to appreciate the fights of teenage hooligans, and the stereotyped action scenes are a bit nauseating, but the characteristics of video games give more virtual expression to the action pictures, and the violent pictures are no longer heavy, only seeing There is no blood in the light and shadow, and it can be reborn even after death. Therefore, the picture is one of the highlights of this film, from the trademark of Universal Pictures at the beginning, the player's state emotion box, to the opposition of the aura under the musical instrument variation, the upgrade of character attributes, the Easter eggs obtained by combo, etc. There are endless sparks and halos. , countless details further enhance the audience's visual experience. In addition, the sound effect of the protagonist being hit and flying until he hits the ground, as well as the onomatopoeia (“whoosh”, “Ding Dong”, “Whip”) inserted in the screen further increase the comic effect.
Of course, the outcome of the fight also contains strong heroism, and the hazy love has also become an introduction to cater to the protagonist's blood. Essence. Although Scott's confrontation with the world is a bit messy, and his pursuit of love is also a bit erratic, when all the fights come to an abrupt end, he seems to be beaten back to his original form, without the domineering and confidence. However, it has to be admitted that his most thoughtless behavior at this most restless age is not charming.
Similar themes are Dave from Kick-off and Arthur from The Guardian. In addition to the common point that the movie is derived from comics, the three upright male protagonists also follow a belief in doing things-"If you want to get it, you have to fight for yourself." So they all practiced and became another character with a great contrast with their own character and ability, that is, a "superhero" in the mortal world. Whether you are pursuing justice or a girlfriend, saving the world or saving yourself, even if you wear a "cottage" costume and bear the name of "Bear", you may liberate yourself in reality in an instant.
In this film, however, Scott's playful style balances out the tragic grief of the other plebeian hero. His "anti-hero" strong magnetic field is awe-inspiring for his attitude of "dare to do what others don't dare to do" and "dare to do what ordinary people can't do", but gradually attracts the audience's pursuit, whether to "be a hero" or not at all Self-respecting discussions will no longer invite ridicule and ridicule. This is not only the visual fatigue of the steel and iron bones, but also because we have more or less the shadow of the ruffian youth Scott.
Therefore, the audience level of this film is also very rich, whether it is an otaku who is addicted to the world of comics, passionate about video games, or an idiot who is entangled in the emotional world, because once upon a time we all hoped to jump into the game and face the imaginary incarnation of a rival in love Give it a try and release the backlog of emotions on your fists and feet.
It is worth mentioning that the actor Michael Cera in "Scott the Crooked Against the World" still steals the spotlight. His grotesque temperament is too in line with the image that Scott should have in the minds of the audience. His nervous expression, the peculiar tint and strange stammering in his voice, all added a lovely silliness to this oddly-behaved little boy. Friends of Scott's Garage Band, Ramona's "evil EX" are also the finishing touches. They use their own distinctive stunts to perform their own magic, and display their characteristics in line with different game types. Even Scott's Chinese girlfriend jumped up and down in front of the camera, winked, and was a nympho from the beginning, but she appeared in the game with a full-fledged fighting style, and the level of seckill was not inferior to Ramona who was fighting against her. Even if there are no typical handsome guys and beauties in this film, the powerful performances of the actors have already fully expressed the situation of "Rock Or Suck".
