After months of waiting, Wonder Woman 1984 was released in the mainland a week ahead of Schedule in North America today (18th). At 0:00 today, major theaters in the mainland have simultaneously premiered the film. This is also the only Hollywood hero blockbuster introduced this year.
Set in the 1980s, wonder woman Diana lives a life no different from the average person at the Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C., but after stopping a seemingly mundane robbery, everything around her changes. Tempted by powerful divine powers, two new rivals have quietly emerged - Leopard Girl, the top predator who "loves and kills" with Wonder Woman, and Max Lord, who controls the power to change the world, and a shocking battle is inevitable. On the other hand, the old love Steve suddenly "came back from the dead" and continued the frontier with Diana, but in addition to the romantic touch, Steve's return was also full of doubts. A new era has begun, how will Wonder Woman save the world again this time?
Because of the epidemic, the film's schedule has been repeatedly postponed, and director Patti Jenkins has repeatedly insisted that this is a film that must be watched on the big screen.
In the first part of Wonder Woman, we witness the wonders that Women did in the tragic war zones of World War I.
In Wonder Woman 1984, we can't wait to see the wonderful collision between the heroine and the 80s, to see her enter a new era with divine power, to see how she can meet the enemy in a more advanced, but also more bizarre world, to embrace the lost and regained love.
So, before watching "Wonder Woman 1984", there are 10 key points to send in advance -
1) Chris Pine is really "resurrected."
We already know from previous trailers and stills that Steve, played by Chris Pine and who died in the first film, will return in Wonder Woman 1984.
In this regard, director Patti Jenkins once said in an interview that he did not deliberately decide to let him return at the beginning, but at the stage of conceiving the story, a certain plot point triggered the idea of asking him to come back, and everything came very naturally. Later, when Patti Jenkins worked with the writers on the screenplay, they found that there was no better way, and this was the vein that grew out of the story itself.
So, in what way was Steve "resurrected"? Is this "Steve" still the same Steve we once knew?
Take this suspense to everyone to see.
2. The relationship between Steve and the heroine
"Pie" Chris Pine once said in an interview that in Wonder Woman 1984, there will be some minor reversals in the relationship between Steve and the woman.
In the first part, Steve is a world-weary veteran who looks for hope.
But in Wonder Woman 1984, he's curious and sees a lot of new things. On the contrary, the woman has become a little world-weary.
So, will the "resurrected" Steve always be with the heroine?
3. The new villain "Leopard Girl"
The villain "Leopard Girl" played by Kristen Wegger is one of the biggest highlights of the film.
In Wonder Woman 1984, Diana, a woman who works in a museum, makes friends with a colleague named Barbara, who is shy and social, but later becomes one of Wonder Woman's most formidable enemies, the Leopard Woman.
Leopard women have supernatural physical strength and strength, and Kristen Wegg once said in an interview that the "leopard women" have undergone a transformation in the film. "She started out as a very typical nerdy girl from the 80s who didn't want to get noticed, but there were little details buried in her secretly dressing herself."
"But when she really started to change, the shape became more and more interesting, the style began to be very different, and you could see the various styles of that era, both sexy, punk, and more avant-garde, all interesting."
How exactly did the "leopard girl" come to be? This is also a major highlight of the film.
4. The new villain Max Lorde appears
The villain Max Lord, played by "Red Viper" Pedro Pascal, will appear on the same stage as "Leopard Girl".
In the film, Max Lorde is a TV shopping star/businessman with demagogic abilities. In order to play this cunning and greedy character who is good at manipulating people's hearts, Pedro Pascal even "adapted" the script into a comic-style pop art scrapbook, constantly delving into his psychological state while scribbling.
If you think the image of Max Lord is so familiar, even a little bit like... Trump...? Then you do think too much.
Director Patti Jenkins has specifically clarified for this purpose: "He is not Trump, but we can explore through the film how the system that can give birth to Trump's power is constructed." ”
In addition, Chris Pine also said in an interview that the biggest evil in Wonder Woman 1984 is that "unbridled greed and desire have become the black hole that people's hearts will always fill with dissatisfaction."
5. The fascinating 1980s
Wonder Woman 1984 takes place in the 1980s, and the impression of Gayle Gadot in that era was rich in color. "It was an exciting decade! Fashion, music and world times! Gadot once lamented in an interview.
But for Wonder Woman, the colors around her are gray, and she still misses the people who have passed away.
"Not only did she lose her lover, Steve, she also lost almost everyone important."
"Her life is actually quite lonely, and helping others is when she is happiest."
The set of Diana's apartment in the film is also similar to her state of mind, and several black-and-white photos on the table are the only things that can make people feel "emotional".
6. Play upgrade
In Wonder Woman 1984, the action scenes will be fully upgraded.
We saw in the trailer that Wonder Woman in the classic red and blue suit flew over the wall and could hang the villain with one hand. To this end, the crew built 65 1980s-style storefronts at the defunct Mall in Alexandria, Virginia.
Wonder Woman also fought a great battle with the enemy at the White House, a Landmark in the United States, and the battle was fierce — the paintings hanging on the walls were also distorted, and the marble pillars were also overturned. In short, the play is absolutely on top.
7. Dedicated Gayle Gadot
Gadot gave birth to her second daughter just a few weeks before the release of wonder woman's first film, and in order to make Wonder Woman 1984, she had to undergo months of rigorous training to quickly regain her previous size and physical strength. In addition to going to the gym every day, she also often hikes and swims. Judging from the trailer, this figure is quite recoverable.
8, the heroine is no longer omnipotent
Gadot once revealed in an interview that Wonder Woman, who was almost omnipotent in the previous game, had to experience a very fragile moment in "1984". This change is especially important to Gadot, because when she is no longer as powerful as a knife and gun, a sense of tension can be immediately conveyed to the audience.
In addition, the spirit of Wonder Woman also faces serious challenges. Set in the 80s, when she was rich and materialistically overcast, Wonder Woman faced a challenge: greed, unlike war, is an opponent she can defeat on her own; she can defeat the enemy in front of her, but humans must overcome their weaknesses.
So, what exactly will the heroine experience?
9. The woman's new armor
I remember when the woman's new armor first appeared in the poster, many post-80s and 90s first remembered the "Golden Saint" of childhood.
In the original Wonder Woman comics, this set of Golden Eagle armor is Wonder Woman's iconic suit, and in Wonder Woman 1984, the Golden Eagle Armor appears on the screen for the first time. In terms of design, this suit incorporates elements of the armor of ancient Roman soldiers, and as for the golden wings, it was created by Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Heming and craftsmen who have participated in many Batman movies.
When he first saw the Golden Eagle Armor, Gadot was excited because it looked fantastic, but it felt different when he put it on: "Oh, uncomfortable." ”
You know, the Golden Eagle armor weighs 20 kilograms!
10, there are Easter eggs! Don't leave early!
At the end of the film, don't rush to get up and leave. Because there will be Easter eggs coming back later. On a bustling market road, catch a pillar that suddenly falls, don't think it's Diana, the god of war, he also predicted Wonder Woman and the next one.
