In this corner of the world, if a person designs a game, another person will find the Easter eggs hidden in that corner of the world; if a person in the office building writes a tune, another person in the basement can hear which similar notes in which song is used in the tune; in the studio, a person shoots a movie, and in front of the screen, there will be another person who can easily find out which camera he is using to pay tribute to, and which actor he likes. What kind of musical taste he has and which novel he has been reading lately...
This kind of tacit understanding really exists between the creators and their fans, and this is the biggest feeling that Spielberg's "Ready Player One" brings to me. If you are a game fan, music fan, anime fan, movie fan, I believe that in this film you can find more pleasure than the general audience, even moved. Movie Shark feels that Ready Player One is such a tribute movie dedicated to all "enthusiasts".
Below, movie sharks will be a fan to pick up the movie and television memes that make me excited in "Ready Player One":
The Shining
"The Shining" not long ago the movie shark just analyzed, in "Ready Player One", in addition to the "blood door" "twins" montage that must appear, classic hotel scenes, music backgrounds, mazes, typewriters played all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, so that the movie shark is quite advanced is to find the key link, I once thought it must be the door key of room 237, to know that the heart of the haunted house in the original "Shining" film is this room 237. Unexpectedly, the key's hiding place is far less superficial, and the way to find it is actually the mystery: "The creator does not like the things he has made." It should be known that Stephen King, the original author of the "Shining" novel, publicly expressed his deep dissatisfaction with Kubrick's remake of his own work, probably because in the original novel, it was not a house that killed people, but a fireplace, and Kubrick built him a haunted house. To this end, Kubrick even made a movie completely according to his original book to Stephen King, the protagonist is a long-legged big fireplace chasing people and eating people all over the house, the horror effect is well, huh...
Gundam vs Godzilla
This clip that set off the second climax of the whole scene after the continuation of "The Shining", in fact, the original book appeared in the monster expert Ultraman, who was more popular than Gundam, but because Warner could not determine the copyright of Ultraman, it had to use the second candidate Gundam, which was actually not bad.
John Hughes
In a dialogue between the male protagonist and the villain Nolan, the male protagonist used the meme in the film of John Hughes, a director who is very fond of the movie Shark, in order to spy on whether Nolan has the attribute of a dead house, if you know anything about American school films, then the two classic movies mentioned in their dialogue, "Breakfast Club" and "Spring Is Not a Reading Day", you should not be unfamiliar.
Star Trek
At the funeral of Oasis founder Halliday, all the funeral items were made into the shape of the Star Trek logo and the Enterprise, and even a Klingon machete.
Back to the Future
The male protagonist's car is the DMC "Deronin Flying Car" in "Back to the Future",
The heroine's motorcycle comes from Katsuyo Otomo's "Akira".
"Born to Love God"
The costume that the male protagonist quietly selected when he first dated the female protagonist came from the cult film "Born to Love God". The name of this film has repeatedly exploded from the mouths of male and female protagonists, and Spielberg's love for it can be seen.
The Iron Giant
Hollywood animation guru Brad Bird's masterpiece. is a well-known animation in the United States, telling the story of a boy and an iron giant touching urban adventure.
Citizen Kane
At the end of the film, "Oasis" partner and curator Morrow calls the heroine "That Rose Bud", which comes from the classic film "Citizen Kane", citizen Kane's famous phrase before his death, "rosebud".
Terminator
When the Steel Giant fell into the scalding lava, it gave a thumbs up, which was clearly against Arnold. A homage to the same action That Schwarzenegger made in Terminator 2.
Journey to the Moon
After the villain closes the rear door, a large close-up is given inside the car to highlight the sticker of Mérieux's Journey to the Moon.
Alien
When the heroine drags the famous male protagonist into a small room, an alien meme bursts out from the chest of the fighter she is dressed as from the first part of "Alien".
"Pretty Boy Crazy Too"
The iconic movie of Tom Cruise's little fresh meat period, the neon sign in the man's apartment comes from this movie.
The Python and the Holy Grail
Remember the super powerful bomb used by the male protagonist in the final battle? This is the most important prop in the 70s's hit absurd comedy "Python and the Holy Grail" - the Divine Grenade.
There are also films that pass by and are in promotional posters
"Galaxy Walking Guide", "Blade Runner", "Star Wars", "The Matrix", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Ghostbusters", "Iron King Kong", "Hades Grand Mage", "Magic Labyrinth", "Shippo Conspiracy", "First Blood", "Superman", "Batman", "Human Centipede"...
A big splash of classic movies, anime IP
King Kong, Ghost In The Ghost, Super Mario, Batman Joker Harry Quinn, Alien, StarCraft, Overwatch, Halo, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Mass Effect, Tomb Raider, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, King Kong, Robocop, Ninja Frog, and even Hellokitty... Countless Easter eggs are pouring in, which makes people feel as if they are not looking for Easter eggs in the movie, but filling in the easter eggs.
As well as the crotch of these classic IP cars
In addition to the above-mentioned "Back to the Future" and "Akira", there are also the movie of the same name "Kristen Charm", which is also adapted from Stephen King's novel, and the protagonist car in the classic 67 anime "Mach 5" - "Mach 5" and so on.
Spielberg is a director who understands the psychology of fans and can best see business opportunities, he has long proved this with his works, but if he is not careful, this "Ready Player One" has proved it for everyone again.
If you are a general audience, even if you can't receive most of the Easter egg terriers, you can still see a wonderful story from the visual and narrative perspectives; if you are a fan, a game fan, an anime fan, and a music fan, you can almost feel irrepressible excitement from this movie; if you are beyond the general "fan" position, a professional "home" like the male protagonist, willing to spend time studying idols, speculating on idol minds, and feeling sorry for idols from time to time, then when you hear "Oasis" founder Haady finish that sentence: Thank you for playing my game", and it's hard not to shed tears of emotion as you leave the door.
Reality is too boring, movies are interesting. For Lao Si, a movie dedicated to all "enthusiasts", the movie shark can only laugh at it with a kneeling posture.
