let me first conclude that “Neptune” is really good enough, not only after the “Wonder Woman” became the movie of the DCEU series, but it was confirmed that it was the box office and word of mouth from last year’s “Justice League”. The key to success in the expected decline
The film director Wen Ziren has injected the humorous, cool and dazzling worldview elements into the “Sea King”, and has been intertwined with super-high entertainment sparks, from the beginning to the end of the climax, no cold spots, I can’t see my eyes. I must say that in the super-English film I have seen this year, in addition to “Avengers 3: Infinite War”, “Neptune” is definitely a personal favorite!
First of all, I really have to say that the director Wen Ziren has created a magnificent and epic Atlantis worldview for Haiwang. In the land kingdom, palaces, statues, and well-ordered capital landscapes, which are built on the ground, present a retro style with the characteristics of the times
Interestingly, in this retro feature, you can see that there is avant-garde design concept that transcends contemporary. When it comes to the style of the seabed, it is even more difficult. In addition to the aforementioned retro style, the laser energy cannon’s soldier’s weapon, border defense weapon technology and facilities, and the freely-spaced submarine spacecraft all show that this is a modern high-tech country
Plus the surreal cosmic style without losing the beauty of the ancient architecture of the underwater architecture, it is deeply felt that this is the perfect blend of technological features and traditional styles, both future avant-garde sci-fi ingenuity and myths The mysterious color of the legend
Another pair of exotic animals, fluorescent creatures and common but combative underwater creatures, as well as colorful and dazzling tonal composition, the dark and dark deep sea that humans have recognized in reality. The screen has become a stunning and fascinating scene, and the overall visually unspeakable “pleasant” feeling, I can’t help but saying “WOW!”
Secondly, the director Wen Ziren was originally a horror film. The signature movies include “Saws of Chainsaw”, “Soul of Soul” and “Hidden” series, so naturally it is inevitable to add relevant elements in “Haiwang”
Especially looking for the segment of the Trident’s attack, the director passed through the dark days, leaving only the setting of the light source in his hand, and cooperating with the other party’s swarming and screaming, and succeeded in operating the oppression. “Feeling”, and then use the crisis to gradually raise the “suffocation” of life
Although this period is not too long, the director has done a great job. In the first half of the game, the “surprise” of the difference is not inconsistent with the joyful atmosphere. It is commendable
In addition, as the director Wen Ziren said during the interview, “Sea King” will be full of a lot of fun, so it is obvious that this piece of jokes is indeed quite a lot, but my most appreciated is this The amount of humor and quality of the film is very appropriate
In terms of quantity, there is not a lot of anti-customer-oriented; in essence, although it is a level of laughter, but it does not stop you from laughing. Therefore, this part is equal to the entertainment of the audience, but also avoids the problem that some of the Marvel works are too happy to cause the whole battle to be diluted
Furthermore, as a superhero movie, “Haiwang” is naturally full of sincerity in the operation of the action scene. If we talk about “quantity”, in terms of “number of times”, from the beginning to the end, it can be described as endless, and almost every few episodes come to fight
This situation is very similar to this year’s Marvel blockbuster “Avengers 3: Infinite War”, but the difference is that since the film is the final piece of 18 series of works in front of Marvel, there is no need to explain in many places. For too many reasons, I will give you a full fight
Another “Sea King” is close to this level, but after all, it is the origin of the first song, so each action bridge provides a reasonable cause and effect, avoiding the deliberate feeling of playing, and then “length” In fact, there is no rush to end, and it is not a slap in the face, and the overall length is appropriate
In addition, when it comes to “substantial effect”, according to the conscience, the “sensory stimuli” that “Sea King” combines in strength and speed is not the “Superman: The Body of Iron” directed by Chuck Snyder. “Batman vs. Superman: Justice Dawn” has come to the blood, but the effect of the relevant scenes is still very good, and some of the damage, the sense of racing and the fierceness of the fight are all indispensable;
What is important is that the skills of the male and female protagonists such as “Yu Shui Control Flow”, “Condensation Waterfall”, “False Reality”, and “Spirit Water Shield” complement the aforementioned combat effects, not only visually. Adding a sense of grandeur, it also enhances the coolness of the feeling
It is worth mentioning that in the personal one-on-one single-playing drama of “The Sea King”, there is no such thing as the actor’s relationship with the legendary Trident, which makes the situation of the game one-sided
Although the male protagonist has a slight advantage, his brother’s resistance is still strong, so there is still a considerable degree of close cooperation. In this way, not only avoids the dilemma of the anticlimax, but also continues the momentum of the front battle segment and meets the expectations of the audience for the outcome. This is one of the important reasons why the film is extremely entertaining
In addition, this paragraph has a lot of regrets, thousands of horses and horses, the scene of the battle, the beasts bite each other, technology and traditional warfare, the two sides beat you to death, before you enter the scene, you will hear this part is simply “undersea” Version of Star Wars”;
In this regard, I personally think that there may be some differences in the degree, but sincerity is definitely enough, because the overall performance on the big screen, it does have a fairly high degree of visual shock. If we look at the comprehensive concept of “power and speed” mentioned above, it can be described as violent and violent, and it is called the top-ranking schedule of the whole year. So, if this is not so cool, what is it called coolness?
As for the plot, I saw many people saying that “Sea King” has a simple plot and a familiar routine, and because several notices have revealed the trend of the story, leading to development almost in the hands of the audience, so the plot is very simple. In this regard, I think that’s right; however, even so, the simple plot is still very good-looking by the director Wen Ziren, because the individual beliefs that there are several important keys:
First, the main axis of “Haiwang” is very clear (the rise of heroes, the road to becoming a king), and the subsequent transitions have touched on “ethnic symbiosis”, “who is king” and “competition of power”, “environmental conservation”, The meaning of “life positioning”, “self-growth” and “love autonomy”;
Although these points are counted up to the point, the plot layout uses a setting that allows the aforementioned points to turn up or merge in some paragraphs, so even in depth, it is not as good as Superman: The Body of Steel and “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” or even “Wonder Woman”, but it does not mean that the story is empty, because the results of the above-mentioned points in the progress of the plot still support the main axis of the plot and rich story-oriented The role
Second, in terms of narrative, “Sea King” also abandoned the practice of DC dark and heavy tonality and metaphorical suggestive configuration, and adopted a simple and clear architectural context, and the details were also directly The way in which direct strokes are presented shows causal connections and interactions
For example, the theme of this film is “Hero / King Birth”, so it involves the process of “growth and transformation” including the psychological level. However, the film “Inner Heart Code” is not only dark and heavy, but “position conflict”. Messages such as “chord turn” and “change of mind and maturity” are incorporated into “many plots that create a variety of entertainment effects.”
When the audience sees the actor facing and responding to each event, not only can the feeling of clear plot progress, but also enjoy the entertainment that is difficult to pass, and at the same time, the “homeopathic” reception contains The meaning of it. Perhaps this kind of operation is straightforward and shallowly explicit, but it can prevent the difficulty of understanding, and the problem that hinders the entertainment of the film
Third, “Sea King” is also bright enough in the character setting section. The characteristics of the two male horns are as informal, bold and generous, and ambitious and ambitious, and the city is extremely deep and with a strong sense of obstinacy. The important thing is that the heroine is not a vase, but also has the courage to do it. Powerful, in many episodes, plays a key role in helping Neptune grow
Even the Queen and the loyal ministers with relatively few plays, under the sophisticated interpretation of Nicole Kidman and William Trevor, also have a sense of existence that cannot be ignored
As with the aforementioned plot advantages, the role setting is as simple and specific as the key strokes, but it can quickly establish the audience’s perception in a limited allocation of scenes and a long time. The exclusive (or shared) plot of the character formed a mutual effect, and finally formed the effect of “the plot strengthens the character trait, and the character deepens the plot tension.”
In general, Wen Ziren has made “Neptunus” a world of excitement, excitement, joy and shock. In this place, we have seen “the rise of heroes, the seven waves of the Megatron, the courage to follow, the king to stand, The wonderful process of who and the competition is to enjoy the high degree of entertainment that is co-constructed by the compact plot, amazing vision, vast scenes and epic kingdom
If the first half of the superhero film is dominated by Marvel’s “Avengers 3: Infinite War”, then the second half of the year will definitely be DC’s “Sea King”. This will not only bring back the DCEU, but also an unsatisfactory finale at the end of the year!
