The mythological plot is unique, and the gorgeous scenes have aroused everyone's expectations
There are many adventure fantasy films interpreted by ancient myths, but this time, "God Wars: Eyes of Power", directed by Alex Proyas, still has a lot of new ideas in the creation of scenes and plots.
Like Christopher Nolan (Inception, Interstellar), who was born and studied in england, and Guillermo del Toro from Mexico ("Pan's Labyrinth", "Pacific Rim"), Alex Proas, who was born in Egypt and grew up in Australia, is also a member of The Hollywood Foreign Director's Army, and their common feature is that they travel between different civilizations and cultures, and their works often attract audiences with unique novelties.
In the plot direction of "God War: Eyes of Power", the director boldly broke the conventional routine of Western mythological stories and promoted a good combination of mortals and fallen gods. In the trailer, it can also be seen that the director innovated the battle mode, abandoning hand-to-hand combat or long-range divine power competition, but adding a concept similar to the "battle form", so that the positive and negative protagonists are like wearing the Holy Seiya, in the magical space created by special effects, changing into different battle shapes to fight.
Alex Proyas, as a director who started as a music video, is similar to David Finch ("Fight Club", "Social Network"), Michael Bay ("Pearl Harbor", "Transformers"), and is particularly known for visual effects. In particular, the stretching of his long scenes often surprises people when combined with the atmosphere of the story, influencing a number of directors, and Darren Aronofsky, director of the Oscar-winning film "Black Swan", once paid tribute to the classic pier ending of "Soul Shifting City" in his masterpiece "Requiem for Dreams". In the trailer of "God War: Eye of Power" exposed this time, it is unsurprising that there are gorgeous and delicate scene pictures, which fully reflects the profound skills of the famous director.
In the details, the exquisite clothing of the tenjin nobles, the exquisite makeup of the actors full of exotic atmosphere, the different shapes of the military artifacts in the film, and the mysterious traps of various mechanisms are real and natural. In terms of scenes, magnificent palaces, majestic ancient Egyptian pyramids, and imposing battlefields constitute the perfect frame, and Alex Proyas sets the epic tone of the film with his iconic scenes, satisfies the visual enjoyment, and completely detonates everyone's expectations.
Holding a number of film history classics for the first time to challenge the mythological adaptation
As one of the most admired directors of the late legendary American film critic Roger Ebert during his lifetime, Alex Proyas has dedicated several classics of film history. As early as 1989, he completed his long debut film "The Soul of the Air, the Spirit of the Clouds", which resembled the possession of the surrealist master Dalí, shocking the critics with the crazy whispers of the delusional world. A few years later, he directed the film noir Classic The Raven, which is often on par with Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and Tim Burton's Batman series.
In 1998, the science fiction film "Soul Shifting City" made Alex Proyas completely ranked in the hall of great directors and reached the peak. This masterpiece was named the best in the history of film in 1998 by Roger Ebert, and the masterpiece of "Saving Private Wren" and "Beautiful Life" had a profound impact on science fiction films such as "The Matrix" in later generations, and the film also won many awards such as the Saturn Award that year. Since then, Alex Proyas, who has a strong reputation in the film industry, has gradually transformed into a commercial film. In 2004, he directed the sci-fi blockbuster Mechanical Enemy, an adaptation of Asimov's short story, starring "Emperor of History" Will Smith, which eventually swept the box office that year, receiving rave reviews and a successful Oscar nomination.
After a short break, Alex Proyas, who has several film history classics, teamed up again with Apex Entertainment to take over the $140 million epic blockbuster "God Wars: Eye of Power". As a director with a global reputation for science fiction films, this is his first attempt at adapting a film that challenges the theme of Egyptian mythology. Judging from the reaction of the film market, there is no worry about his transformation. After all, from the eighties to the surrealist fantasies, to the black fantasies of the early nineties, to the later science fiction, Alex Proyas has achieved so much success that transformation is one of his traits.
