tearjerker director

As Li Yi's queen film critic, Du Xianghai has gone through so many years, and it can be said that he has followed Li Yi's rise.

The first film review he concocted was released soon.

However, what is different from usual is that this time, he did not tout all the way, but adopted a structure of suppressing first and then raising.

"As a typical film about individual heroism, "Wolf Warrior" completely follows the routines of Hollywood genre films: King Kong is not bad, one enemy is one hundred, shouldering a mission, and national spirit.
Of course, as a tough guy movie, its shortcomings are actually very obvious, and "Wolf Warrior" also has these shortcomings, with a weak plot and serious obscenity!
Starting from easy tasks, fighting monsters and upgrading all the way, until the final boss is eliminated, even if the protagonist is covered with injuries, it will not affect the single-handed fight and show off his might.Especially when it comes to the last moment, either by chance, the ammunition is out of food, or the gun is not used, so they have to fight fiercely and fight naked.

However, some things are so simple. Although the routine is obvious, it has been used by Hollywood for so many years. Don't they know these shortcomings?Of course I know, but why is it the same as before?Because that's what audiences love to watch.

As a commercial blockbuster, what is the pursuit of "Wolf Warrior"?
Director Li Yi, as a grand slam director, has all kinds of halos on him. It can be said that he wants box office box office and awards. Does he not know where the flaws of "Wolf Warrior" are?

I don't think so, he obviously knew it. At the premiere, he admitted with a smile that "Wolf Warrior" is indeed following the pattern of Hollywood commercial blockbusters. " can be said to be completely different.

The plot, character relationship, and character of "Wolf Warrior" are all simple. It can even be said that the drama is not brilliant at all, and it relies on non-stop fighting to attract attention throughout the whole process.The protagonist does not eat or drink, and can almost kill an army by himself.

Compared with the same type of Hollywood films, "Wolf Warrior" seems to be so brilliant, but if it is compared with the same type of domestic films, it is too pleasing.For decades, the common people in Huaguo have been overwhelmed by repeated patriotic movies, and the flood of crude and low-intelligence dramas in the TV drama market and the patriotic forced consumption of movies with missions have also made people hate this kind of movies. The film already has a physical aversion.

After the marketization of film and television consumption, people can finally look up from the same kind of political education, and finally have the opportunity to get rid of the aesthetic fatigue of revolutionary education, so it is normal for such films to be abandoned in the market.

Therefore, for a long time, domestic filmmakers have deliberately avoided touching such films: first, there are too many taboos on this subject, and they will cross the border if they are not careful; second, they have no confidence in market consumption and worry that consumers will not buy it.

"Wolf Warrior" undoubtedly opened the way for the marketization of the main theme movie, and some people may refute what about "The Garland Under the Mountain"?
But if we ask ourselves, the two are completely different films with two themes.

"Wolf Warrior" can be said to be a product of the real film industry. This type of film can be imitated and copied. Compared with films such as "The Garland Under the Mountain", it is obvious that many people have tried it, but It cannot be copied or imitated. …

After talking about these shortcomings, what are the advantages of "Wolf Warrior"?

The water scene at the beginning and Leng Feng's fighting scene are undoubtedly wonderful, and the spectacular explosion scene is also very exciting, completely comparable to American blockbusters.

The genre elements of "Wolf Warrior" are undoubtedly done very well. The large-scale battle scenes, the action design of individual confrontation, character creation and emotional layout have been done well. We can also see that the burning funds have slipped to the real point. .This is the first step in the film's success, making moviegoers feel that they are worth their money and even exceed expectations.

The sincerity of "Wolf Warrior" can be seen, and the effect it presents is also very exciting. Although it follows the structure of a Hollywood blockbuster, it also has its own unique things. There are many elements in the movie, and they are not blindly piled up. , they either form a strong sense of opposition, or set off each other.Just as we are intoxicated by the natural scenery of Africa, on the one hand we are shocked by the despair of the people in the slums; one second everyone is still dancing and laughing around the bonfire, singing the love of life, and the next second suddenly artillery strikes, war Rebellion, viruses everywhere, cruelty and beauty coexist.

Judging from the film itself, it is a fairly mature entertainment film that uses various elements well.The opening scene, the advancing rhythm of the story, the emotional drama, as well as the jokes, fanciful scenes, supporting roles, fighting actions, big scenes, etc.They are all very well-behaved, skilled and appropriate.If you change the characters' names, nationalities and backgrounds, you can think of it as a Hollywood made movie.Sure, it's not great, but it's at least mid-range Hollywood.

I think about that, no problem, right?
The first half of the whole movie is full of jokes, the ignition points are evenly distributed, the fighting scenes are grand, all the planes and cannons come, the shocking scenes, the hand-to-hand combat is real and professional, it can be said to be a work of conscience in domestic movies.Although this movie is a popcorn movie, it was shot very seriously. Every actor is impeccable. You can see that the entire production team is working very hard. Whether it is special effects or film dubbing, it does not Will lose to Hollywood blockbusters.There are really a lot of fighting scenes, a lot of blasting scenes, and the car chase is also very exciting. There are also a lot of emotional scenes added, which is better than a pure fighting scene!
My personal favorite scene is undoubtedly Leng Feng played by Wu Qianjun, the plot where one person singles out the tank, the whole action scene has strategies and skills, space changes, rhythm relaxation, chasing, drifting, collision, There are close-up and large panoramic shots switching back and forth, and there is an extreme use of the film's sense of space.

The whole action scene was divided into three paragraphs by the director.At the beginning, Leng Feng confronted, raced, and confronted the tanks driven by the rebels. This kind of one-on-one tanks has never been filmed in domestic movies. Hollywood, at least I have never seen them play like this.The ending of this paragraph is that the tank exploded and Leng Feng escaped.

Actually, what kind of movies are you watching?
I think having these is actually enough.

In terms of genre, "Wolf Warrior" should be considered a military action movie.It is not a war movie in the strict sense, nor is it a traditional urban action movie, but it puts personal fighting in the environment of a war movie.

The battle between the two sides must have obvious militarized characteristics, and the weapons and equipment used are much more powerful than ordinary urban action movies.

With such a number of ways, it is destined to be a big scene.

This movie wears the hat of action and main theme, but it has made a lot of efforts in increasing entertainment to please the audience, such as the tough guy from Huaguo bravely breaking into Africa, the old driver racing in anger to save the people of other countries, fighting the tanks with terrorists, etc. On the whole, Li Yi is obviously trying to improve the entertainment of this story, and many small details have been properly handled, such as the plastic bullets fired by the army fan pistol, the African aunt threw down the terrorist rebels, and several of them have their own stories. The shaping of the nicknamed mercenary, as a supplement to the action scene, basically supports the need to adjust the rhythm, and also makes the tone of the film more entertaining.

So watching such a movie, you don't need to give too high a score, because it doesn't need it, but there is no need to be too picky, and the same is not necessary!
