The recent "big event" in the film industry is undoubtedly Ang Lee's "Billy Lynn's Halftime War", although it is released simultaneously in China and the United States, but China's popularity is significantly higher than that of the United States, and China also has more theaters than the United States that can see the 3D/4k/120 frame "top match" version. In order to better confirm the look and feel, poison tongue Jun specifically went to see it twice, one was 3D/4k/120 frames, and the other was the 60-frame 3D version. In contrast, there is also a clearer understanding of the "top match" version.
The following "Ten Sentences Film Review", Poison Tongue Jun mainly talks about the effect of the 3D/4k/120 frame technology itself, as well as the feelings and thoughts on the combination of technology and film content!
1. First of all, if you are just a general audience who prefers commercial films and only uses movies as entertainment, then "Billy Lynn's Halftime War" means nothing to you from the content of the movie itself! The war scenes in the film are not even 5 minutes, don't go to this film with the mentality of "watching war blockbusters", otherwise you will regret death! And the content of the film is completely "about your bird", involving all the people and things with typical American political, social and cultural colors, as a general audience who only loves to watch commercial films and does not have a deep understanding of American society, the content shown in the film is obviously neither familiar nor unable to resonate.
2, secondly, I want to say, no matter what kind of audience you are, the top version of 3D/4k/120 frames is definitely worth experiencing, and the unprecedented brightness, clarity, and delicate picture presentation are absolutely unprecedented, with far better realism and detail perception than the ordinary version, and the actors' performances are also richer and clearer. 3D can also produce better results! In short, the top technical indicators of 3d/4k/120 frames are indeed as Ang Lee said, and it is easier for the audience to have the effect of integration into the movie.
3, 3d/4k/120 frames compared with other versions, the advantages are also extremely obvious. Poison Tongue Jun also watched the 60-frame 3D version of this film these two days, the look and feel is relatively bad, I feel that there is no difference between all aspects and ordinary 3D films, and I seriously doubt that these "60 frames" that have never been seen before are pit goods. The ordinary version seems to have the strongest contrast with the top version: in the top version, the various foods on the plate in the restaurant show bright and attractive clarity in Billy Lynn's line of sight, while in the ordinary version, this feeling is completely absent, and even makes people feel a little blurry. In the top version, the audience can clearly see the tears on Billy Lynn's face when singing the national anthem, while in the normal version, the tears are not so clearly visible. Of course, this bad look and feel of the ordinary version may also be related to the theater where the poisonous tongue jun goes, and friends who have seen the ordinary version of the effect can also come out and talk about the look and feel.
However, the immersive realistic experience and 3D sense of 3D/4k/120 frames are not worth exaggerating. In general, it is not out of the feeling of "watching a movie on a canvas", and it is still far from the immersive experience of wearing a virtual reality VR headset, and the 3D effect is more about enhancing the realism of the environment and performance, and the "out of the screen" effect that wants people to dodge is not more than other ordinary 3D movies, and obviously the director does not want to create such gimmicks in large quantities.
5, of course, 3d/4k/120 frame is not perfect, and even after watching it, it is more pleasant to feel that naked-eye 3D is the "ultimate future" of the movie, because as long as you wear 3D glasses, it is inevitable that it will have an impact on the viewing effect because of the barrier of "glasses"! In terms of personal perception, wearing 3D glasses to see 3d/4k/120 frames will cause the face color to be significantly purple at some times, and the bad look and feel of purple on the edges of subtitles.
6, but no matter what, 3d/4k/120 frames is the best visual experience for 3D movies and all movies at present! As far as personal perception is concerned, there is no sense of "too realistic and clear, feel like fake, not like a movie, lack of film sense" as some foreign film critics and audiences say, the viewing experience from the whole to the details is very good, except for one point, I feel that all actors, regardless of men and women, are a lipstick, huh!
7, in the process of watching the film, it is not difficult to see that in order to make the 3D/4k/120 frames give full play to the effect, director Ang Lee has also made many elaborate designs that are easier for the audience to "enter the play" in the way of shooting, such as using a lot of billy Lynn's subjective perspective to present the surrounding environment, such as letting the actors look directly at the camera and speak, which is equivalent to letting the actors directly "eye contact" with the audience, which is undoubtedly to let the audience better integrate into the environment and integrate into the role.
8. Even if you review the content of the film, in fact, it is inseparable from the influence of the unique technology of 3D/4k/120 frames. As far as the personal perception of the poisonous tongue is concerned, although the whole film is composed of the "present tense" of the protagonist Billy Lynn participating in the midcourt show at the stadium and the "past tense" of the soldiers in Iraq, the story is not loose and boring, but makes people feel that the viewing process is full of interest, and the film is very attractive from beginning to end, and it is by no means a literary boring film. But after some reflection, I can't help but ask myself: Is it really that the film itself is very attractive? Or is it that the 3d/4k/120 frames make the film look attractive after realistically presenting all the details of the film? As far as personal perception is concerned, the highly realistic picture is always not lacking in interesting details, the eyes feel comfortable wherever they look, especially the emotional appeal of the actor's performance is multiplied, so it is always able to firmly attract the audience's attention, and after concentrating and investing, all the emotions and thoughts can naturally follow the film, and naturally feel that the film is very attractive from beginning to end. However, without the blessing of 3D/4k/120 frames, the audience's eyes will not be attracted by the rich details of people and things, and the appeal of the scenes, characters and emotions shown in the film will be weakened, so whether the film can still attract the audience from beginning to end, whether it can make people watch it without feeling dull and boring, it is really difficult to say! Maybe the top version and the ordinary version will really make the audience have a different perception of the film! Out of frames 3D/4k/120, can Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle be exciting enough? Poison Tongue Jun also wants to hear everyone's point of view!
9, 3d/4k/120 frame for the actor's performance habits and performance strength is also a challenge, the actor has more to look at the camera of the performance, which requires the actor to grasp the mood and mentality to be extremely accurate, especially can not be over-acting. And the stars and non-star actors of this film also continue the director Lee's consistent and accurate vision of selecting actors, especially young actors, and everyone's performance is very natural and comfortable under the realistic picture presentation of 3D/4k/120 frames, although there are many roles in this film, almost every character with lines can dedicate a personalized and vivid performance, even if it is a dragon set with only one scene. In particular, Joe Alvin, who plays the role of Billy Lynn, although it is the first time to appear in a feature film, all kinds of performances can withstand the test of various shots and the realistic presentation of the picture, and the emotions released by his performance can infect the audience and fully pick up the beam of this film.
10, in the end, I still hope that the top version of "Billy Lynn's Halftime War" 3d/4k/120 frames can sell well at the box office, although there are only two such top theaters in the mainland, only four or five in the world, and the ticket prices are also expensive, but the excellent viewing effect is unique after all! And the movie is a door business at the commercial level after all, only if there are more people watching the top version, can we prove that this business is successful, and the merchant will take money to shoot more 3D/4k/120 frame films, build more 3D/4k/120 frame theaters, and after the popularization of popularization, the ticket price will naturally come down! Therefore, the poisonous tongue jun believes that the ticket money that everyone spends on the top version of the 3D/4k/120 frame can also be regarded as a small contribution to promoting the popularization of this new technology of the movie!
