Chapter 278 Rave Reviews (Third Update)

The box office of "The Ninth District" exploded in the first week. If the decline can be maintained in the second week without a sharp decline, then the total box office of "The Ninth District" is definitely worth looking forward to.

And if you want to keep the box office trend in the second week, word of mouth is undoubtedly a very important point.

Of course, there are no new films released in the new week, and the schedule of "The Ninth District" is still the highest among the films released, and the necessary conditions have also been created objectively.

After "The Ninth District" was released for the second week, the media and film critics have more and more comments on "The Ninth District".

""The Ninth District", an alternative sci-fi masterpiece!
"The Ninth District" used the pseudo-documentary filming method to catch people's attention at the first time. It is a science fiction story of alien refugees on the earth.

Another way of reverse thinking, alien prawns that have been deliberately vilified, it is so disgusting to look at them from the perspective of human beings.

Director Chen Hao arranged for the male protagonist to discriminate against and hate alien prawns at the beginning, but due to an accidental body mutation, he gradually mutated and became the alien he hated the most.

The torment and collapse in this metamorphosis process is a very metaphorical reflection of the racial discrimination and violence that still exists today.

Similar to Kafka's "The Metamorphosis", "The Ninth District" is worthy of Chen Hao's title as the best science fiction movie in China! "

"'District [-]', the sci-fi film that puts Hollywood to shame!
The movie was shot in Johannesburg, South Africa. Although South Africa is the only developed country in Africa, apartheid, which has been abolished by most countries, still exists in this country.

South African whites have strict segregation measures against blacks. Blacks are not allowed to sit on an equal footing with whites, nor are they allowed to enter the city life at will, which caused a lot of conflicts.

The meaning of this film is roughly derived from this kind of conflict!

The alien prawns in the film are ugly, but the wanton abuse and killing of aliens by the male lead and other humans is even more chilling!

Director Chen Hao expresses his satire on racial discrimination and prejudice heartily by taking advantage of the sudden change of the hero's transformation into an alien.

As a sci-fi film that reflects racial issues, Chen Hao, who is also the screenwriter and director of the film, has undoubtedly done a very good job.

"District Ninth" is a realism movie with a sci-fi skin.

While discussing prejudice and discrimination, the film does not forget to add sci-fi scenes with very commercial elements.

Prawn's humanoid mecha robot can gather the bullets shot at itself into a ball and then bounce back without driving.

This trick is quite a tribute to "The Matrix".

The investment for the entire film was only US$4000 million, so director Chen Hao used unknown actors so that more funds could be used for expensive special effects production.

It can be seen that the success or failure of a film is inseparable from the intentions of the main creators, rather than relying on some small tricks to achieve it.

Otherwise "District 2004" wouldn't be hailed as the best sci-fi movie of [-]!

Not to mention that the "Chicago Tribune" sharply commented on the film as: Shame on the entire Hollywood.

Not to mention Hollywood, such a sci-fi film with in-depth thinking and excellent commercial entertainment elements, but only spent so little money, can completely make sci-fi film producers around the world feel ashamed.

Chen Hao is the only director in Huaxia that can produce world-class sci-fi films. I hope other directors can learn from Chen Hao, so that sci-fi films can truly take root in China! "

""The Ninth District", a masterpiece of science fiction!

When we look back at "The Ninth District", we will find that the whole movie is full of black fables and tragic undertones.Although the hero Wikus is wretched and cowardly, he is not a villain, he is like most ordinary people.

Before meeting Christopher and his son, he regarded these alien prawns only as human slaves, or even insects in nature, who could be trampled to death at will.

Only when he saw Christopher's humiliation and his son's naughty innocence, did he wake up: these alien creatures, like us humans, have the inseparable attachment between father and son, and share the same ancestors. blood ties.

After he transformed, his father-in-law wanted to use him as a living body experiment, and it was Christopher who gave him the only shelter. The prawn, which he once despised, is more humane than fellow human beings.

This also makes the male protagonist finally stand in Christopher's camp and fight against indifferent and anti-human humans together.

But this is not an act against humanity, but a harsh and heart-piercing bell.Why can the rulers of the MNU trample on the dignity of other races for money, and devour the bodies of blood relatives for profit?

This is also the first time in the history of sci-fi films that a pseudo-documentary technique is used. The purpose is to make this seemingly false sci-fi show a real texture.

So in the end, when Wikus's wife was reluctant to part with that plastic flower, our hearts seemed to be pierced at once. This kind of pain is the "real" experience of Weikus, a little person, and brought us a shared experience. emotional experience.

He let us know, what if it becomes a non-human alien prawn?

At least he still has the eternal love to protect his wife.

Whether he will wait for Christopher to come back and heal him eight years later, we have no way of knowing.

But I believe that if he is allowed to choose again, he will still make the most human choice.

"The Ninth District", in my mind, is undoubtedly a masterpiece of science fiction! "

……

There is no doubt that the media and film critics' evaluation of "The Ninth District" is mostly positive, and many people even gave super high evaluations such as "magic work" and "classic".

Of course, movies are not without negative reviews. After all, it is impossible for a movie to please everyone, but compared to positive reviews, the number of negative reviews is very small!

At the beginning of the century, the media and film critics still had a guiding role in the evaluation of movies. Unlike later generations, everyone was afraid of being deceived by bricks and bad movies. They already had their own judgment and no longer followed others.

Therefore, Chen Hao is also relieved a lot. The praise from the media and film critics should make "The Ninth District" have a good box office performance in the next week!
Therefore, while waiting for the next week's box office results of "The Ninth District", Chen Hao also began to prepare for his next film.

Chen Hao's new film has a budget of 4000 million RMB, and most of the investment will still be spent on special effects.

The current mainland actors are not paid well, and Chen Hao is now a golden signboard. Fan Jinsuo was even willing to act with zero salary before, which is the best proof!
