Speaking of contemporary European and American comedians, most of them will think of Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Jack Black, or Zach Galifianakis, Seth Logan, Eddie Murphy, and my favorite is a pair of "mates": Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. (One is fat and one is thin, and I instantly think of Laurel and Hardy.) But strictly speaking, it should be three people, and director Edgar Wright (Edgar Wright), this is the complete "weird trio" .
From 2004's "Shaun of the Dead" to 2007's "Hot Fuzz" to this year's (2013) "The World's End", the trio's "The World's End" "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy" (Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy) finally came to an end, can not help but sigh, another decade has passed. "Shaun of Zombies" began to meet Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, a pair of comedy eccentrics, and from then on, learned the dullness, coldness, irony and self-deprecation of British humor. Then they followed in their footsteps, Simon's Mission: Impossible III IV three and four, Star Trek eleven and twelve, and Run, Fatboy , Run) let us witness his growth in Hollywood, until now the film contract is continuous. Nick's "The Boat That Rocked", "Attack the Block" and other niche movies also let us see him in small-budget productions, including the two of them working together The "Alien Paul" (Paul"), or the cartoon "The Adventures of Tintins: The Secret of the Unicorn" (The Adventures of Tintins: The Secret of the Unicorn), which features the DuPont Brothers, all make us feel warm, of course, I have to mention " Spaced is where it all started, without which nothing would come.
Going back to "The End of the World", it is still a Cult film with a strong personal style. Like the first two films, it is full of tributes to classic movies and nostalgia for popular music in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as the one that can never be turned over. Fence (everyone who has seen it understands). Compared with "Zombie Shaun", which symbolizes plasma, the strawberry flavor is more cute, and the blue original flavor of the police in "Blood Detective" is more cute, and "The End of the World", which represents the more minty flavor, is bound to bring something different. . We are still discussing the relationship between the individual and the collective, or the simmering of various types of films, but this time, I have more thoughts. Even if it is reflected in a large number of slobber and foul language, it also makes people feel the coolness. That peculiar feeling of mint. At the beginning of the film, five high school buddies reunite, return to the town where they were born to challenge the Golden Mile, and fulfill the unfulfilled wish of drinking sixty glasses of beer from all twelve bars. The warm comedy of the reunion of old friends broke the peace in a fight in the men's toilet... But at the beginning, Gary King's appearance made me have to sigh that time is really unforgiving, ten years The folds on Simon's face are so many that the flies can be caught in time, and it is still a fat man like Nick who can withstand old age. Although the film lacks Bill Nighy in the first two films, it also invites Pierce Brosnan to help, and the participation of many supporting characters such as Martin Freeman and Rosamund Pike is also a highlight.
Thinking back carefully, after ten years, the elements and types involved in the three films can be described as "all-inclusive", family, love, friendship, horror, thriller, suspense, comedy, action, and now science fiction is added. The trio achieved their "great" goal under our watchful eye, and we walked through this three-part journey of ups and downs in laughter and tears. Our mood has changed from anxious waiting before the end to sadness in addition to contentment now. Perhaps this may be the last of the "Blood and Ice Cream" series, but we believe this is by no means the last collaboration of the "weird trio". Looking forward to their next surprise for us.
