In the past two weeks, although there is a strong landing of "Fast and Furious 9", the intention of harvesting leeks is too obvious. Always staring at the wallets of Chinese audiences, but unable to meet the needs of the audience, and in the end, it can only end up with an embarrassing result of more than one billion. To catch up with the grandeur of the first two films ("Fast and Furious 7" 2.4 billion, "Fast and Furious 8" 2.6 billion), it will eventually be a dream for Lan Ke. Between the collapse performance of "Fast and Furious 9", the recovery of the film market has been stranded again, and the return to the once hard-to-find grand scene is even more elusive.
Good films in the cinema market are hard to find, and the online film market is also lackluster. Although recently there have been well-known films on the Internet, there are military novelist Tom. Cransey's best-selling novel adaptation of the film of the same name, Cold-Blooded Gangster, and Zach C. Schneider's latest zombie film, Legion of the Living Dead. Both are thunderous and rainy, and the root cause is due to the lack of their own quality.
In the field of military and spy fiction, Tom. Clancy is definitely a presence in the top three seats. His work is naturally the object of Hollywood's attention. "Hunting Red October", "Patriot's Game", "Burning Pursuit", "The Sum of Fear", "Hair-trigger", and the American drama "Jack. Wren", all based on the protagonist of his novel Jack. A film and television drama in which Wren is the protagonist. But the adaptation that was so tireless did not reach the height of matching the original. The series is even more difficult to compare with classic agent film series such as "007", "Mission Impossible", and "Spy Movie".
This time, Hollywood is once again targeting another protagonist of Tom's novel, John. Clark, the protagonist relative to Jack. Wren is also more in line with the characteristics of the invincible agent, who is more popular with movie audiences. Unexpectedly, the giant ship ran aground as soon as it set sail. Not only did it not attract the response it deserved, but the word of mouth was even more impressive. I am afraid that the "Rainbow Six" project that is ready to be filmed in the future is in danger of dying.
Returning to the film itself, the film is nominally an adaptation, but in fact it is more like a remodeling. Except for the title of the film and the name of the protagonist, other aspects have nothing to do with the original work. The Vietnam War period in which the story takes place in the original book has been moved to modern times. The plot also focuses on the portrayal of senior agent John From the original book. Clark's upbringing was transformed into a propaganda tool with strong political metaphors. The starting points are different, and the perception given to the viewer is naturally very different.
In terms of the quality of the film itself, it is definitely a qualified action movie on the Hollywood assembly line. The overall story is smooth, the pace is bright, and the starting and turning are reasonable. The film tells the story of retired special combatants John. Kelly was attacked by unknown killers, his wife was unfortunately killed, and he himself was seriously injured. An enraged Kelly, bent on revenge, is unfortunately mired in a political conspiracy. He almost became the fuse of war between the two countries and fell victim to the conspirators.
As far as the plot is concerned, there are not too many loopholes, but the highlights are also underserved. The direction of the story is completely expected by the audience, and even the plot reversal, the audience who believes that there is a certain amount of reading, has long been aware. The rhythm of this film is not hurried, not only does not drag mud and water, but also leaves enough time and space for the plot and the shaping of the characters. However, the director's control is too much pursuit of stability, so that the climactic scene, which should be the explosive point, has not been detonated, so that the opening good preparation is instantly useless.
The action scenes that should have become the highlight of the film can only be regarded as decent, and the military tactics are as professional as ever, or very professional from the perspective of the general audience. But there are also few highlights, and it is difficult to stir up a little ripple in the hearts of audiences who have read countless blockbusters.
In this relatively mediocre film, starring Michael. B. Jordan is one of the few bright spots. The rising star who played the villain Golden Panther in "Black Panther". Not only is the body perfect, but the acting skills are also becoming more and more mature. Eyebrows are very good at the time of Will. Smith's feeling. I believe that in time, I hope to become the best among black action actors.
Movies have always been inseparable from politics, and this film contains a strong metaphor for the current political situation, and even very clearly targeted. Hollywood has always been the mouthpiece of the United States to promote its democracy, and the more provocative purpose of such provocative films is to appease the people at home. Including completely politically correct casting, the pure white people in the original book were changed to black people. And the blonde,000,000,000,000 conspirators can also soothe the growing ethnic tensions in the country.
In the midst of the sharp increase in China's influence in the world, the development of film culture is imperative. We do not seek to deliberately instill our own universal values, but to show China's profound culture to the world. Looking at the world pattern, this war without smoke on the cultural front has been fiercely carried out, and the naked eye can see that Hollywood's cultural erosion of the world has gradually declined. Now is a great time for the development of Chinese films, Chinese filmmakers, come on.
