In the film industry, "Counterfeit Gods" is a classic comedy film that continues the standard Hollywood routine. Unlike many post-production effects that utilize computer CG effects, most of the film's special effects were shot outdoors in natural light. And in order to create a more realistic sense of the camera, the crew used a huge sunlight system, and this is the classic of this movie!
In terms of plot, "Counterfeit God" does not have a brain-burning, roundabout plot, but there is a very grounded persona in addition to the imagination, so the audience base of this film is very solid. "The Counterfeit God" tells the story of a radio player who rises and falls as the protagonist, and all the bad luck that happens to him will be attributed to God's injustice. This alarmed God and gave him a week of dominion to try to control the whole world.
Tom Shadyak is not a prolific and well-known director, but the Fake Gods series has garnered him acclaim. In the film, the control of the rhythm of the plot and the expression of the language of the camera can see his extraordinary skills.
In the performance of this film, Kim Carey, who plays Bruce, is hailed as the core soul of the whole film, and he completely relies on his acting skills to support most of the film. With the successful release of the film, the local media in the United States also gave it high praise, and Kerry's interpretation seemed to have the power to turn decay into magic.
Looking back at Carey's acting career, starting from the fantasy film "Peggy Hugh Married", it laid his comedy path in Hollywood. Some media have commented on him as an artist who cannot be imitated because his body language and facial expressions are very rich. No matter what kind of expression and movement can be well controlled, and even some exceed the limits of human performance, it can be called the mask face of Hollywood. In the performance of "Counterfeit God", Kerry took out the same skill, in the face of various strange things, the expression was applied in place just right, so that the progress of the whole movie seemed smooth and natural.
Jennifer Aniston, who partnered with Carey, is also a well-known artist in Hollywood. In the film, although her relationship with Carey is not much, the performance is remarkable. The most contagious thing about Jennifer Aniston is her smile, and in this film, the cute girl she plays, although she does not have much ink, is also a very warm embellishment in the film.
Although "Counterfeit God" is an absurd film story, it is grafted into ordinary life, so it will not make the audience feel too much violation, but it has aroused the emotional resonance of many audiences. The plot design of the film is also very clever, with the protagonist played by Kerry unfolding in his heart, from encountering various troubles to complaining, and finally getting the divine power given by God. The success of the film is that after everyone laughs, it will make everyone reflect on the meaning of life, even as God is not omnipotent.
And what the movie wants to tell me is that if you want to get out of the predicament, you can only change on your own!
