The ceiling of zombie films for so many years, in fact, there is only one, that is, the film "Busan Trip" made by South Korean director Yeon Sang-ho in 2016.
Seriously, without saying anything else, just rush this zombie film to get a high score of 8.6 points on Douban, you can see how strong this movie is.
Because this movie is too popular, in fact, many countries want to remake this movie, such as Hollywood has set up a project to shoot a "Subway to New York", and the Chinese version of "Busan Trip" also has several.
Including the "Crazy Rat Train" at the beginning of the year, and the "Apocalypse: Shocking Change" that has just been launched, it is a remake of "Busan Trip".
But the reputation of "Crazy Rat Train" has also been seen by everyone, the score of 3.8 points basically belongs to the category of bad films, and "Apocalypse: Shocking Change" This network is big, it seems to be on a completely different path with "Crazy Rat Train", and it exploded on the line, not only instantly rushing to the third position of the network hit list.
It also received a lot of praise from the audience.
So what is the quality of this "Apocalypse: Sting Change"? Listen to me slowly!
1, Not only the elements of the Busan trip, but also the addition of historical and sci-fi elements!
Although this "Apocalypse: Shocking Change" is named after the domestic version of "Busan Trip", it does add Chinese characteristics to its fame.
For example, the first distinctive feature is the addition of the "Apocalypse Big Bang" history.
Anyone familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty will not forget the "Apocalypse Explosion", when the legend was that meteorites hit the earth, and some people said that it was the big explosion of gunpowder factories.
In this "Apocalypse: Sting Change", this historical origin is directly borrowed and turned into a "zombie crisis" story caused by a meteorite falling on the earth.
Seriously, it's wonderful to be able to use this history.
Of course, in addition to historical elements, this movie also has a lot of superposition of science fiction elements.
For example, the huge monster overhead is completely the standard in science fiction movies.
The collision of history and science fiction, the friction between modern and ancient, to be honest, this "Apocalypse: Shocking Change" is actually from the intention of the script.
2, the place where the sensationalism is sensational, the place that is cold is cold!
In fact, the concept of zombie movies was first derived from Hollywood blockbusters.
But why can it really be called a ceiling, and what can really become a ceiling is the Korean film "Busan Trip"?
In fact, the reason behind it is very simple, because it is because the unique delicacy and unique emotional expression of oriental people are easier for people to see human nature.
And the same is true in Apocalypse: The Shock of Change.
For example, such a detail makes me feel quite able to see through human nature.
That is, a group of people hid in a safe place, but the official suddenly found a crying baby in the crowd, and the idea of the official was very simple, the baby crying would attract monsters.
The baby should be thrown out.
Not only the official lord, the villain, has this idea, even the male protagonist of this film is also this idea, at least when the official wants to throw the baby out, the male protagonist did not stop it, in fact, it also shows the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of human nature.
However, when reflecting such a cold and ruthless human nature, the director also added another piece of human brilliance.
That's mother!
When the mother could not protect her baby, the great mother finally chose to join her child in the mouth of the monster.
Seriously, the sharp contrast of this one detail can allow the audience to see both the darkness of human nature and the greatness of human nature.
Of course, along with this detail, there is also the detail of a father and son dying together, which is also quite touching.
That is, after the son was poisoned, the father chose to die with his son.
It is these details, the cruelty of these human natures, that make people both shudder and tear up.
It can be said that the success of this "Apocalypse: Sting Change" lies in the handling of details and the control of human nature.
3, although it is directly borrowed from the story logic of "Busan Trip", it is also sensational enough to be real!
In "Busan Trip", the father played by Kong Liu is actually a father who is cold-blooded enough and selfish enough.
Along the way, all he cares about is the safety of his daughter, and all he cares about along the way is the death or death of his daughter.
And the same is true in this "Apocalypse: Sting", a father who really doesn't care about anyone but the death of his daughter.
Including the babies who were about to be thrown out by the official master, including his teammates, he didn't really care.
And his daughter has been asking her father: "Why don't you save people, why don't you save your uncle?" ”
In fact, from this detail, we can also see the story logic of "Busan Trip" and even this movie.
That is, in the world of children, they don't count so many gains and losses, they don't count so many no's and no's, they only know that everyone should be saved, they only know that everyone should survive.
But as a father, you really have to calculate the gains and losses, and you really have to calculate the pros and cons.
And this is the cruelest part of human nature, and growing up actually means losing the most glorious point of human nature.
Is it just that this father really did something wrong?
Not really!
For the sake of the daughter, for the sake of the child, no matter what, that is the responsibility of the father, that is the responsibility of the father.
He cannot sacrifice everything for strangers, he cannot sacrifice himself for passers-by.
At least at the last moment, after the father was infected with the virus, in order to prevent himself from becoming a zombie and hurting his daughter, he inserted a long stick into his chest and pulled his daughter out of the zombie circle, I was indeed impressed by this great father.
Seriously, although this "Apocalypse: Shocking Change", when you look at the scenes and props, you know that it is a small-budget movie, but it does shoot the essence of "Busan Trip", and indeed captures some of the most touching details of "Busan Trip".
So this is also why this "Apocalypse: Shocking Change", even if there is no well-known actor, can detonate, it really does not waste the audience's time, it can really touch people's hearts!
I don't know if anyone is watching this movie "Apocalypse: Sting change", welcome to leave a message and discuss with me!
