true hero

First of all, Shazam is not as good as Aquaman in terms of box office volume. It is indeed because the drama is not fun enough to satisfy the "bad taste" of watching movies. In addition to the differences between cultures, Chinese audiences cannot appreciate this American-style laugh!

However, similar to Marvel's cheapness, Shazam can be said to be extremely sandy, and it can even be said to be the most real superhero. After the realization of the superhero dream of the middle two teenagers, not to save the earth and beat the villain, but to show off everywhere and do things that should not be done, which is indeed naturally manifested in the two actors, one big and one small!

David Sandberg, who is Wen Ziren's apprentice, although DC is no longer the main body after Wonder Woman, but as a horror film director, the film does not lose the dark elements and horror and evil taste, (at least the demon of the Seven Deadly Sins is indeed a little small. fear)

In addition, this film also tried to join the shooting method of pseudo-documentary! It can be counted as an attempt in a superhero movie!

Although the mainland box office is not good, but based on the cost and the box office of more than 50 million US dollars in the first weekend in North America and high reputation, the film will not lose money. Although it can't earn as much as Neptune, a small profit is still fine!

Shazam! quotes

  • [Billy arrives at his mother's apartment and knocks on the door]

    Billy's Mom: Just a second.

    [she opens the door]

    Billy's Mom: Hey, look, I'm late for work already, all right? We don't need any magazines or whatever. Thanks, though.

    Billy Batson: Oh, I'm not. You probably don't recognize me, but...

    [Billy shows her his compass keychain]

    Billy Batson: I found my way home. Mom. It's me.

    Billy's Mom: Oh, God. Is it?

    [Billy nods, then approaches to hug her, but she stops him]

    Billy's Mom: Um... hang on.

    [she closes the door]

    Billy Batson: That wasn't Dad, was it?

    Billy's Mom: No. Listen, son... It's really you, huh?

    Billy Batson: I didn't mean to run away. You know that, right? I let go, but it was by accident.

    Billy's Mom: Yeah, no. I know, yeah. I saw you.

    Billy Batson: What?

    Billy's Mom: I saw you after. So, it was never your fault. Look, I was 17, okay? And my daddy kicked me out. And your dad just decided not to be a part of anything. And I was hurting, and I was screwed up.

    [pause]

    Billy's Mom: Look, it's just once I saw you with the police, I realized they could do a better job taking care of you than I ever will. But you're good, right? I mean, you landed on your feet. Because, I mean, you look real good. It's just... now is not a really good time for me, Bill.

    Billy Batson: All I wanted to do is... let you know I'm doing good, but I have to get back to my real family. Here.

    [Billy gives her his keychain]

    Billy's Mom: What's this?

    Billy Batson: You might need it more than me.

    [Billy walks away]

  • Billy Batson: Well, you wanted me to be a hero.

    Freddy Freeman: Are you kidding? Okay, no. Old guy's up there harboring multiple spiritual entities. Plus, he has the same powers as you. Plus, I mean, he knows what he's doing. Plus, I mean, you're my best friend. I don't want you to die. All right?

    Billy Batson: If a superhero can't save his family, he's not much of a hero.

    [Billy walks towards Sivana]

    Freddy Freeman: That was a decent catchphrase.
