Breaking Bad 2:22 didn't set the release date for the Chinese mainland on February 22, 2018, which was a wise decision. After all, the only people who still enter the cinema on the first day of work on the seventh day of the New Year are probably the bosses who dare to face the roaring boss and the real warriors who dare to face the dismal salary. However, scheduled for the last Friday in January, the film's "money scene" is not much better: the 3.7% of the film schedule on the first day and the box office of less than 1 million yuan are no longer enough to describe it as dismal, it is simply tragic.
The distributor of the film is also well aware of the quality of the film. The popularity of male and female protagonists is far from reaching the level of public lovers, and the poster is specially marked with the actor's representative work, I don't know whether it is intimate or forced helpless. It's just that Mitchell Hasman is actually only a small supporting role in "Black Book", and Teresa Palmer's presence in films such as Hacksaw Ridge and "Extreme Thief" is not strong. The distributor might as well play the gimmicks of "Game of Thrones dario Naharis (seasons four and five)" and "Australian 'Twilight Girl'" to attract a little more young audiences.
Breaking Bad Clock 2:22 poster
The slogan on the movie poster is "super high value, the heart is moving", at least the first half of the sentence is not a false advertisement. If the "Licking Screen Party" just wants to see handsome and beautiful women to raise their eyes, "Breaking Bad Clock 2:22" is also worth the ticket price. However, the beautiful flesh is the same, and a good movie is not to say one in a thousand, at least it is to pick one out of a hundred. As a commercial film classified as "thriller/love", the original intention of "Breaking Bad Clock 2:22" to use handsome men and beautiful women as actors is to add icing on the cake to the plot, but the plot is too weak, and the "appearance" of the starring actor is noisy, but it has become the main reason to support the audience to watch it.
Stills from Breaking Bad 2:22
The plot of the movie is somewhat mysterious. For readers who are not worried about spoilers, a brief introduction. The male protagonist's past life was a social brother, the female protagonist's past life was a female singer, and the male number two's past life was a policeman. The police are unrequited female singers, and female singers are obsessed with social brothers. The police lobbied the female singer to leave the social brother and took the female singer to prepare to leave by train from New York's Grand Central Terminal. The social brother rushed to block it, and after a firefight, the three people died at exactly 2:22 p.m. But good death does not die, thirty light years away from a supernova erupted at this moment, resulting in the three people not only did not go to the Yellow Spring, but reincarnated on the same day, continuing the entanglement of this life.
The male protagonist's current life is the air controller of the airport, the heroine's present life is the art curator, and the male number two's life is the installation artist that the heroine is curating for, and the heroine's ex-boyfriend. As the celestial changes caused by the supernova explosion thirty years ago approached the Earth, the male protagonist's life was frequently visualized, and the specific manifestation was that similar life scenes reappeared day after day. In addition, the interference of hallucinations led to the male protagonist's mistake in his work and was suspended. The male protagonist then lost his soul and went to watch the aerial ballet performance to relax his mood, so it was logical to meet the heroine, communicate and break up, get married and have children, accompanied by various obstructions and various explanations of the great devil male number two, and the male protagonist is of course wise and invincible in New York Central Station for the heroine to block the gun, and after being shot to the ground, he insisted on not burping until 2:22, so the astrological curse was broken, and he lived a happy and happy life with the heroine, the story is over.
Inner OS: What else can I do when I get a script like this? I'm also desperate
Well, the above story summary totals 483 words with punctuation marks, and the film is 98 minutes long. Compared with the 58-episode TV series "Three Lives Three Ten Mile Peach Blossom", "Breaking Bad Clock 2:22" is of course efficient; but compared with the 109-minute movie "Three Lives Three Ten Mile Peach Blossom", less about the lifelong "Desperate Clock 2:22", the information density is not as good. There is no such thing as reincarnation in Christian doctrine, and Breaking Bad 2:22 goes to the celestial signs to justify the story, with the Japanese animated film Your Name. "Moving a comet as a rescuer is the same narrative strategy. However, "Breaking Bad Clock 2:22" is not romantic enough or thrilling enough to shoot suspiciously.
The emotional scenes of the film progress too quickly, and the male and female protagonists develop from the theater encounter to the stage of applauding for love, which only takes less than a quarter of an hour in the film, as if to teach the audience a lesson: "Look good, do everything right." The appearance of male number two is also close to "five scum of war" compared with male number one, which adds convincing to the heroine's empathy. Breaking Bad 2:22 was reduced to a mediocre popcorn movie of so-so-so quality, not in casting, but in the script and editing— even though it was a novel adaptation.
The love triangle in the movie, the rotten peach blossom blooms from the previous life to the next life, and the awakening significance for the audience may be to face the scum boyfriend and the scum girlfriend, and must stop the loss in time. At the beginning and end, there is a large male protagonist monologue, selling the character (novelist/screenwriter) of the celestial view of the universe, the writing is quite clear, much better than the awkward lines of the male and female protagonists. Audiences going to the cinema may wish to pay more attention.
Heartless willow lining. As a "thriller/love" movie, "Breaking Bad Clock 2:22", I don't do a good job, but I can provide the audience with a different viewing experience in some details. In the early part of the film, the work scene and work process of the male protagonist as an airport air controller are shown, although not without exaggeration, but they are completely fresh.
In addition, the murder of many filmed in New York's Grand Central Station may be the focus of the film. Audiences must have seen the façade of New York's Grand Central Terminal many times in movies such as "The Avengers". The statue clock above the façade, designed and created by American architect Warren. Wearing a feathered hat in the center is Mercury, the god of commerce in Roman mythology, on the right is Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, and on the left is Hercules.
In the movie, the four-sided clock at the top of the Central Information Office (that is, the four-sided clock appearing in the poster) is made of opal and is worth tens of millions of dollars. The gallery where the male protagonist stands, leading to Vanderbilt Avenue, is named in honor of the Vanderbilt family, the builder of New York's Grand Central Terminal and the "King of American Railroads."
The vault of the station hall, which is repeatedly intertwined with the story, was drawn by the French artist Helu based on a medieval manuscript, counting more than 2,500 stars in the 12th house of the ecliptic.
Readers who have the opportunity to go to New York for business or tourism may wish to try their luck at New York Grand Central Terminal. I wish you all a good peach blossom.
