The smoke of the May 1st stall has not yet dissipated, and the cinema line has ushered in a "blockbuster" impact.
With an investment of more than 300 million yuan, the scene is big enough, intense enough, and emotional enough.
Precision kills, gunshots, bullets flying, no one survived.
In the preview alone, 11 people died.
These scenes are from the May 10 movie "The Wrath of Man".
Many people regard it as the head cannon of the May theater line.
But this cannon, the cousin felt that it was a squib.
Although director Guy Richie let go of the harsh words in the interview: "This film is more violent and realistic than all my previous films!" ”。
However, the evaluation given by the audience was somewhat unexpected: Douban scored 7.0.
Compared with Gai Dao's earlier works of the same type, this answer sheet is not satisfactory.
But there are still many viewers who admit that they have to go into the theater to contribute a movie ticket to the "remarriage" of Guy Richie and Guo Dasen after 16 years.
After all, the films that these two guys have worked on have not been released in mainland theaters.
They are all masterpieces that are secretly enjoyed in the Tibetan net disk (self-understanding).
Jason Statham, Guy Ritchie
Passers-by wondered, do these two people have such a big charm? "Bad films" have someone to pay?
Is it fan sentiment or blind worship? Does this piece suck?
This cousin will take advantage of the release of "Wrath of Man" to talk to you about the film world of Guy Richie.
Knowing him, Quan Dang followed his cousin to review the brush years of the past.
Don't know, just when Amway gives you a treasure director and some hard disk good films.
>>>> understand the audience and understand men better
The star of "Human Fury", Jason Statham, is an old friend of Chinese audiences.
He has made big-budget commercial films, he has tasted small-budget B-grade films, from England to Hollywood, and he has entered the decathlon of heaven and earth.
There are also many nicknames: well-known divers, street models, film models, cold-faced action stars and—
Guo Da's long-lost British brother.
He is a fighter among tough guys and a favorite of many directors.
Among them is Guy Ritchie, a famous roast duck lover and a ghost director who is only one of the best.
This "Wrath of Man" is also the fourth cooperation between the two after "Two Big Smoking Guns", "Stealing and Robbing", and "Revolver".
In 16 years, Jason became Guo Dasen and Gai Dao became the ace pigeon king, but the two still had a tacit understanding.
Speaking of Guy Ritchie, this guy is kind of interesting.
Only Gao Chinese, at the age of 32, made a movie that broke the box office record in British film history, and became popular all over the country.
Cupid also took care of him, his ex-wife is the singer Madonna, and the current British model is 14 years younger than him.
Of course, he is also a well-known "male god harvester", from British gentlemen to Hollywood movie emperors, rushing to cooperate with him.
Many viewers quipped that they wanted to see the most popular men at the moment, and went to Guy Richie's movie to find it, which was correct.
Guy Richie knows too well where the audience's "Happy Planet" is.
Female audiences can see the male god of their dreams in his films.
Statham, who switched from diver to model, was caught in the face of the cover director and shouted to pick the girder to star in "Two Big Smoking Guns".
That year, the apricot blossoms were slightly rainy, And Tom Hardy was not yet Tang Sweet, and The Gai director called him to wear stockings to star in "Rock gangsters".
As a result, Nolan took a fancy to this fellow countryman, and after watching this film, he called Outang Lao Wet to play Bane.
Gai directed the film of "Super" Henry Cavill and Amy Hammer falling in love with each other ("Secret Agent").
The U.S. and Soviet agents tit-for-tat, in the midst of birth and death, emotional heating up, and finally establishing a "fairy friendship".
You can see the mouth cannon duel between "Iron Man" Downey Jr. and "Juddy" Jude Lowe ("Sherlock Holmes").
Gai Dao integrates British black humor into classic criminal reasoning.
Create a great space for the "Fuhua CP" to carry out chemical reactions with full marks.
Male audiences watch the film directed by Gai, and what they watch is a happy and happy thing.
The male characters under his lens are full of drama and charm.
In "Kidnapping and Robbery", Pete transforms into a boxer and shows off his muscles.
The punch instantly overflows the screen with pleasure, the fist is hard to hit the "negotiation method", and the hormones are exploded.
In "King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts", the "fresh meat of the fighting beasts" Hunan Ge went shirtless and played the wildest King Arthur.
The legendary figures of 1500 years ago have given the breath of Yapi, which has made many viewers have a sense of substitution.
It turns out that the characters that exist in the books can be so fresh and interesting, and it turns out that we can be so close to these characters.
It doesn't matter if you don't show your muscles, you can also lead the fashion trend by wearing a suit and picking up a gun.
Last year's "Gentlemen" collected six European and American male gods.
Wear a well-fitting suit and trench coat to the elegant venue, paired with beauties and champagne.
With an extreme restraint paired with the violence of gun battles, it is cool and sassy, and it is necessary to see hardcore martial arts drama and British literary drama.
As we all know, the character under the cover director's lens does not have a "normal person", but he can shoot everyone well.
Even if it is a villain, Gai Dao is particularly partial, using modeling, lighting, and angle to vividly display the charm of the characters.
Jude Lowe plays Voltagent, who is fearful and sensitive and extremely beautiful
In "The Wrath of Man", Director Gai once again proved his uniqueness in the matter of "shooting people".
In order to create more tense dramatic conflicts, he usually arranges a fairly distinct and story-like setting for the characters.
Take H, played by Sengo, this guy is not easy to mess with.
As the title suggests, the anger of the people, the anger of witnessing the accidental death of their son, but they are powerless to return to heaven.
Enraged, he was determined to avenge his son.
However, if a great vendetta is to be repaid, we must first learn to endure the words and rest assured that we must not show it.
H transforms into a cold-faced star, dressed in a suit and holding a pistol, as if entering no man's land.
A headshot, simply and neatly solve the obstacle.
Fast, accurate, fierce, no need for flashy combat skills at all.
Don't talk nonsense, just do it.
>>>> subversive enough, the ghost is out of the sheath
Gai Dao's most enjoyable thing is his special video style of "no ancients before, no one after".
There was a saying in the film industry 20 years ago:
Beauty has Quentin, England has Richie.
Being able to stand at the same height as Kungo the Leper, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger's cover guide still has a few brushes.
The soundtrack is bold and a brush.
Brushed out the screen stave, using music to dialogue with the audience.
Gaid's love of British rock is unquestionable.
Even in the filming of "King Arthur" with historical themes, Gai Director had to carve "Rock and Roll Supreme" into the lungs.
Obviously, it is a heavy epic theme work, but it has also been played by him and has become a trendy rock gangster magic movie.
King Arthur, an ancient man who grew up in the Dean of Ji, encounters the wild and unruly contemporary British rock music, and the interlacing of time and space produces unexpected sparks.
In "The Wrath of Man", Gai Dao incarnated as a conductor and engraved notes on the movement of the character.
Gai invited the London Chamber Orchestra, the oldest professional chamber orchestra in the UNITED, to accompany the film.
The undulating orchestral music adds a suspenseful effect to the film.
H's face was fierce and angry, and every step he took was quite heavy, because he was carrying out the task with a vengeance.
Choose the soundtrack that best suits your character, the genre that is closest to the story.
Gai Dao must also have a heart as a musician who is trying to move.
Brushed again into the technical category, the fast-paced editing is really unique.
Gaid is adept at interspersing action scenes with fast-moving shots, freeze-frame shots, and slow motion.
The use of motion and stillness makes the visual perception more prominent and imaginative, not limited by traditional shooting methods.
In his directorial debut, Two Smoking Guns, he played this style to the extreme.
In the opening scene, Sengo is chased by a sliver (running fast), throwing the box from the stairs to his companion (slow motion), and then jumping down (fast moving).
Obviously, you can use a shot to reflect the sense of tension, but gaidao wants to play some tricks.
Fast-slow-fast, so that the picture has ups and downs, the audience's eyes are attracted, and Sengo's character suddenly has memory points.
My cousin still remembers watching this film and sighing one after another, surprised that the movie can still be made like this.
The clean and neat movement is combined with the more master-level cow X in "Kidnapping and Robbery".
Gai used a high-speed camera to shoot Pete in slow motion as he was knocked out of the air by his opponent, and then unexpectedly bounced off the ground and punched his opponent.
Shot scheduling, clipping and storyboarding make this violent boxing match even more imaginative.
Another impressive image is of Ive's cousin flying from New York to London.
Put it in the hands of other directors, or it will be filmed into a running account, or it will be taken in a sentence.
How to shoot the cover guide?
Telephones, taxis, cabins, planes, passports, offices.
Stitching of several close-ups, montage-style editing, five seconds to shoot the journey.
In "The Wrath of Man", Gai Director still runs the fast editing through to the end.
H singled out the robber's drama, only to see his gun headshot, the accuracy of the high degree of astonishment.
The whole process is smooth and smooth, and the simple cutting mirror is very clean and neat.
Counter violence with violence, and anger comes from the heart.
The Virgo cover also has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
My cousin actually found that the angle of the picture of Sengo holding a gun in "Wrath of Man" was similar to the honey scene in "Rock gangsters" many years ago.
Textbook of gunmanship
Of course, when it comes to technology, Gai Dao also has a definite non-linear narrative.
The fragmented but messy view of time and space makes his film more like a Buddha jumping off the wall, a pot of mountain treasures and seafood stew, and umami delicacies in the mouth.
He spreads out the temporal dimensions, cuts the timeline in a horizontal analysis, and finally intersects them at a coordinate point.
His film narratives include the unexpected presence of mantises catching cicadas and yellow finches ("Gentlemen"), and brain-burning multi-character narratives ("Kidnapping and Robbery").
"Kidnapping and Robbery" is less than 100 minutes long, but there are more than 30 characters and more than a dozen story lines
In "The Wrath of Man", Gai Dao divides the story into four chapters, each with a different perspective and direction of development.
The first chapter, "Night Elf", is when H enters the security company and spreads out the puzzle.
The second chapter, "Digging The Ground," is about why H is in a rage.
Then use the "bad boy" to analyze the way rampant gangsters commit crimes.
Finally, it ends with "liver, lungs, spleen, heart" as revenge.
Of course, as an Englishman's gai director, he also learned from his predecessor and suspense master Hitchcock how to use McGuffin's technique to enhance the compulsion of the work. (McGuffin is a cinematic term that refers to objects, characters, or targets that can be used in a film to advance a plot.) ）
In "Two Smoking Guns", there are "inconspicuous" antique guns worth 250,000 pounds, and in "Kidnapping and Robbery", diamonds and a car accident intersect the three groups of characters.
The trigger event in Rock Gangster is robbery, and the Revolver is the "Take the Elevator" card received.
And MacGuffin in "The Wrath of Man", guess what?
The beginning of "Kidnapping and Robbery" uses diamonds as a guide
>>>> wild and deep enough
Although Gai Dao is British, he is "extremely rebellious", and from his movies you can see the fireworks of the city:
The protagonist with a Cockney (British working class) accent, a dirty street thug, and a gangster in a suit can't hide his anger.
Gai dao uses the lens to tell his unique understanding of people and society, and also satirizes the bright social illusion through the mouth of the character.
Extremely black humorous lines and plot design, even a casual ridicule is full of sarcasm.
"Wrath of Man" does not have the complex character relationships and cynical views of previous films.
More focus is on H's anger as a father (son's tragic death) and helplessness (suffering to find the real culprit).
Because of his anger, he endured humiliation and burden, entered the security company as an inferior person, and was forced to swallow by colleagues when they joked.
Because of his anger, he countered violence with violence and pursued the "justice" he insisted on in an extreme way.
As a father, he was incompetent and cared too little for his son; as a man, the gangsters he was involved in were not clean.
This is actually a story of the butterfly effect, and the anger in his heart actually comes from himself.
If H hadn't been involved in surveillance of the cash truck (related to his gang work), the son wouldn't have been dragged into the water and become an undead under the gun.
This may be, planting melons to get melons, planting beans to get beans.
To be honest, my cousin wasn't really happy with the movie.
Admittedly, it was made by Guy Ritchie.
Whether it is the exciting and tense rhythm advancement, the complex structure of the multi-line narrative, coupled with the help of the old partner Guo Dasen, it is indeed very covered.
But for those viewers who are feeling cool, they may be disappointed.
This is actually more like a "pseudo-popcorn film" of a literary drama than a martial arts drama.
The background of the characters is explained with a lengthy narrative, and the scenes and scenes of the remaining time are not enough and not cool enough.
Many viewers complained that this film is too boring and boring.
In fact, there are traces to follow:
The film is based on the 2006 film Cash Truck.
Aesthetic fatigue-style scenes, so-so-so plot design; although the actors are very hard to act, there are Oscar movie emperors sitting.
But a rating of 6.0 shows that the audience does not pay.
In the face of such a lackluster work, Guy Richie and Jason Statham, who shot 9.1 points of "Two Big Smoking Guns", can't turn decay into magic.
Indeed, Guy Ritchie is "god" enough, has not been in college, has not read movies, and has become popular by a small budget movie.
With a unique image style, he has become the darling of the film market, with fame and fortune, and a beautiful return.
Indeed, Jason Statham is "fighting" enough, and the 53-year-old insists on playing in person without a stand-in.
For this crazy exercise to maintain body shape, for this film even pushed off a lot of action movie pie.
However, the audience wants to see much more than that.
Tidbits special Li Gai directs the position of the gunfight scene
Some say Guy Richie is eating old books and fooling audiences with the same trick he'd played more than twenty years ago.
Some people say that he just sucks up the money, does not care at all and does not respect the audience, and it is a waste of feathers to shoot this kind of work.
First-rate directors and second-rate stories come out of third-rate films.
Although such an evaluation is vicious, it also shows the pain of the audience.
There are still many viewers in the comment area who give praise.
Affirmed the director's skills, praised Guo Dasen's acting skills, and was very happy to see the two "remarry".
There is no harm without comparison, and this film is much better than the May 1st movie.
Whether a movie sucks or not depends on what the audience says.
But against the name Guy Ritchie, the audience scored high marks, understandably.
Today's gai director can still shoot "two big smoking guns" and "stealing and robbery" style god films, cousin is looking forward to it.
After all, who has not been shocked by Gai Dao's domineering spirit of "he is strong and strong, Lao Tzu Gai Tianwang", and who has not been fascinated by the beauty and prosperity of Sen Ge's youth.
The next film continues to work with Sengo, with the help of Hugh Grant, or the original screenplay.
