In 2021, there is a movie with a strange and somewhat violent name , Godzilla vs. King Kong " released, two famous film history monsters were combined by a group of filmmakers to stage a big war, the film in the global box office of more than two billion box office, of which only domestic contribution of half.
It seems that domestic audiences still like this monster war style movie.
In fact, jungle adventure style movies are also popular at home and abroad, such as "Monty Python".
So, are there any domestic movies that can be compared with these foreign giant movies and adventure movies? There really is, that is, "Big Snake 3: Battle of the Dragon Snake", which was launched on the Internet on January 22.
"Big Snake 3: Battle of the Dragon Snake" is an IP sequel, and in 2018, the first movie in the series, "Big Snake", was released and got 50 million points at the box office, becoming the first place in the box office of the whole network that year. The first successful sequel, "Big Snake 2", also achieved quite good results.
It is precisely because of the success of the first two films, the audience paid to watch the film, the producer got the profit, so "Big Snake 3: Dragon Snake War" turned out, like the "Detective Chinatown" series of movies, try to ask, if the first two are on the street, who will continue to throw money into the pit, three consecutive "Big Snake" series, proving that the genre of films still have a considerable market in China.
In the author's opinion, although "Big Snake 3: Battle of the Dragon Snake" is only a big net, its ambition is really not small, and there are at least three major points for the audience to enjoy:
I. "Godzilla" vs. "Python"
The story of "Big Snake 3: Battle of the Dragon Snake" is set on a prehistoric desert island where there is a tyrannical bone dragon and a large snake, and the setting of these two monsters is easily reminiscent of the two major IPs in world movies: Godzilla and Python.
Just like "Godzilla vs King Kong", in the plot setting of "Big Snake 3: Battle of the Dragon Snake", the tyrannical bone dragon and the big snake are also a pair of enemies, and they will inevitably have a giant beast war when they meet, which is an indispensable link in the monster movie and the most eye-catching place.
However, in the concept of mainland traditional culture, the dragon and the big snake are actually quite strongly related, the snake in the zodiac is called the little dragon, and the dragon is designed with the snake as the main body, so in addition to the fierce scene of the monster war, "The Great Snake 3: The Battle of the Dragon Snake" will also make some in-depth designs in the relationship between the dragon and the snake.
2. Desert island escape
Desert island escape theme literary and artistic works from "Robinson Crusoe" began to be popular around the world, and then a variety of movies about how to survive on desert islands and how to escape for their lives have emerged in an endless stream, and there are even many reality shows for survival on desert islands.
In "Big Snake 3: Dragon Snake War", desert island escape not only highlights the concept of desert island, but also the content of prehistoric creatures and modern civilizations, in the film we will see not only huge tyrannical bone dragons and large snakes, but also giant toads that are good at sneaking attacks, and huge mushrooms like primeval forests.
The reason for the survival of this desert island is the invasion of a series of modern civilizations, and the crazy exploitation of nature by humans has released the hidden prehistoric desert island monsters, which has some taste of the beginning of "Water Margin".
The curiosity of modern human beings for tourism has led a group of people to join a tour group and step into a crisis-ridden desert island, which makes them in a desperate situation.
It can be said that "The Great Snake 3: The Battle of the Dragon Snake" not only condenses the concept of prehistoric giant beasts, but also melts into the desert island to survive, which greatly enhances the watchability of the film.
Third, human nature and spirituality
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are many aspects of human nature.
In the desperate desert island tour group, some people are desperate to rescue their children, some people are desperate to throw themselves into danger, some people disregard the death of others for their own interests, there are brave people who are afraid of death, and there are selfish people who are fraternal.
If there are only giant beasts, desert islands and human nature, this is obviously not very novel, and in "Big Snake 3: Dragon Snake War" there is a kind of spirituality from the giant beast, that is, the big snake.
The big snake is not a cold-blooded animal in the film, it fights to the death in the face of the tyrannical bone dragon that hurts the snake egg, and sacrifices itself to protect it in the face of the child who has rescued itself, between animalism and human nature, it is the perfect interpretation of all things have a spirit.
Finally, the actor, the female lead of "Big Snake 3: Dragon Snake War" is Chen Zihan, she is still in excellent condition in her forties, the goddess of frozen age is worthy of the name, this time she plays a mother, with her son in the desert island tourism, because her son Xiao Kai unfortunately fell into the snake nest, she resolutely returned to the desert island to find her son, staged a thrilling mother and son adventure. It is worth mentioning that Chen Zihan has played the green snake, the green snake PK python, which is a bit interesting.
"Li Dazui" Jiang Chao also starred in "Big Snake 3: The Battle of the Dragon and Snake" as a special guest, for a cook from the cooking class, dragons and snakes, what a good ingredient.
In summary, the picture, plot, actors, desert islands, giant beasts, human nature, multiple elements combined, bringing a visual feast at the same time, thrilling survival and animistic details will bring the audience the experience of a new behemoth movie. This ambitious "Big Snake 3: Battle of the Dragon Snake" can be watched!
