"The Flash" film review: standard 8-point work, both of which are impressive so far

Text/Ye Qiuchen

Although the box office score of "The Flash" in China is only 200 million, the movie is actually very good to watch and the quality of the completion is also very high.

I bought a ticket to watch it early, but I never made time to write this one.

Now I still feel very good when I recall the plot, so I coded the following text.

Now that the popularity of the film has receded, fewer and fewer people will pay attention to this work.

But Ye Qiuchen still wants to share the two feelings that impressed him the most when watching the movie with everyone.

There are a lot of spoilers involved, please be cautious if you mind.

1. In the eyes of fast people, it turns out that the world is so slow

At the beginning of the movie, there is a high-energy scene where the Flash saves the baby rain, he threw himself into the air to replenish his stomach for the first time, and then delivered all the babies to the ground safely in a short time after falling down.

For a few seconds, I felt that I was instantly substituted into the perspective of the protagonist Flash, and the whole world quieted down.

It turns out that in the eyes of fast people, the world is so slow.

I feel this scene this time, not because it is a fictional superhero, or because he envies that he has a huge amount of energy that others cannot match.

After all, except for superheroes, you and me are just ordinary people.

What I want to say is that there may be some "fast people" who are far behind us among all sentient beings.

They see far away, they walk fast, and they only catch a glimpse of us slowly moving slowly when they run at speed.

At that moment, is it the same feeling?

Naturally, I must have thought too much.

The director did not want to convey this meaning to the audience.

But since you have already thought about it, it is inevitable that you will think more.

The existence of these superheroes like "fast people" also has unsolvable problems, and entanglements and contradictions that are more troublesome than ordinary people.

So, where can there be a completely smooth life and truly complete happiness?

Worries are a necessity in life.

Everyone is just looking for a more suitable way of survival.

2. Some questions are destined to go unanswered and you need to learn to give up

The Flash's mom died in an accident many years ago.

He always wanted to change that.

Not to find the real murderer, but to hope that my mother can come back to life.

Ordinary people naturally did not expect, but he is a superhero.

If you run fast enough, you can turn back time and change the past.

So, the Flash ran back to before the incident through his super speed.

Afraid that the movement would be too big and therefore affect the future too much, he tried to put the tomatoes that his mother had missed in the shopping cart in the supermarket, so that he could avoid his father going out again to buy and not leave his mother alone in danger.

It won't let his father get the tomatoes on the lower shelf in the supermarket, but he was not photographed by the surveillance, so he lacked an alibi and became a S mother suspect to eat a lawsuit.

The Flash thought he had succeeded, but in the process of running back to the future, he was knocked out of his original route and went to a new time and space that changed the future.

The plot thus entered the "multiverse" theme that Marvel and DC have recently loved.

Many viewers complained that they had just been washed by Marvel's multiverse of hundreds of Spider-Man, and now they have to walk again in The Flash.

It's inevitable to have a bit of aesthetic fatigue.

But "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" and "The Flash" are fundamentally different when it comes to explaining the multiverse.

That's different spiders in different universes, it's the same Flash in different universes.

For audiences who like the overlapping label of superhero + multiverse, this movie can be called "double chef ecstasy".

In addition, the old Batman uses pasta scattered overlap to tell the plot of the multiverse and the intersection, which is really simple and easy to understand, and even the pasty head is instantly transparent.

Absolutely perfect.

In fact, changing anything does confuse cause and effect.

Even just putting canned tomatoes in the shopping cart changes a person's life.

But if this had not happened, he would not have met Barry Allen from another universe, nor would he need to be familiar with this new world, nor would he have realized that his former self was so annoying after the two Flashes were in the same frame.

This is the only way to grow twice.

As the Flash accidentally lost his superpowers, he could only teach novices how to control superpowers through experience, and introduced some background knowledge to unfamiliar audiences in the process of popular science.

But ordinary people cannot fight.

So he must rediscover his superpowers.

Being the Flash the first time is just a coincidence, and becoming the Flash the second time requires courage.

Superwoman held the Flash to meet the lightning strike, and just seeing the burnt skin hurt.

This move is in response to the Flash's rescue of Supergirl from the dungeon.

Seeing the combat power of Superwoman, sure enough, and other superheroes are not at the same level.

(PS: Supergirl's figure is really more and more beautiful)

In the process of fighting the villain, Batman is gone, and Supergirl is finished.

The new Flash doesn't believe in life and keeps shuttling to save them.

But he kept getting hurt, too many times to the point of being unrecognizable, still having to watch his friends leave again and again, and still refused to give up.

It turns out that this is an inevitable meeting point in the multiverse.

It cannot be changed.

At this time, the Flash understood what his mother had said.

Some problems are destined to go unanswered, so we have to give up.

So the Flash returned to the supermarket again, putting the can of tomatoes that he had put in his shopping cart back on the shelf.

Then, he said goodbye to his mother decently.

Although to the woman in front of him, it was just a strange big boy.

But she gave a mother's love.

After returning to the future, the Flash's mother still did not come to life.

However, because Tomato moved to the upper level, the surveillance video captured his father's face, the evidence of alibi finally appeared, and the lawsuit was won.

When the Flash rejoices, he suddenly finds himself in the multiverse of another future.

This is the end of the feature film.

The part about Aquaman in the Easter egg is probably the prelude episode of "Aquaman 2: The Lost Kingdom".

There are actually a lot of Easter eggs in the film, and DC fans should be reveling.

Just as Marvel fans love the platter effect of "Avengers", there are surprises and touches.

However, Ye Qiuchen wanted to insert an inner OS here, that is, after watching "Fast and Furious 10", he suddenly felt that it was a film in which DC and Marvel engaged in friendship, and the faces of many actors were too familiar.

"The Flash" invited Wonder Woman and Aquaman to make cameos, and the two actors also appeared in "Fast and Furious 10" at the same time.

The lineup did not disappoint everyone, and as for the plot, it was numb.

3. Afterthought

The Flash has great visuals, a complete story, and a strong aftertaste.

The comprehensive evaluation of such films should belong to the standard four-star (8 points) work.

Although I scored close to perfect marks most of the time, I always felt that there was still something wrong with chewing carefully.

As for where the deficiencies are, it is a subjective aesthetic problem for different audiences.

There is nothing right or wrong, and don't force the other party to agree with your own opinion, just reserve your opinion.

Ye Qiuchen bought IMAX tickets at that time, and he was really shocked when he watched the movie.

If you want to fully appreciate the essence of this film, it is difficult to achieve the best experience without spending some money on tickets.

Every time the Flash runs back to the past picture, various memories are intertwined, as if putting the audience in his spiritual world.

And when the multiverse intersection points before the final finale converge with each other, it is simply handsome.

You have to see with your own eyes that language can't really be spoken.

Although I know that it is indeed a little late to say, because it should be difficult to buy the right ticket in today's IMAX arrangement.
