Chapter 380 Truman's Rout (Earth)

After watching the entire 130-minute movie.

Rachel was indeed full of question marks.

Compared with those audiences who just feel "cool" after watching it, Rachel is a professional film critic, so she wants to understand the meaning behind the movie even more.

Indeed, this movie is pretty cool.

Whether it is the performance of the scene or the ending of the symbiosis between the devil and human beings, they are all very anti-traditional and anti-order. All plasma is removed, and it is impossible to be PG13.

The descriptions about gods, demons, and human society in the play seem to be telling an extremely absurd story very seriously.

Don't look up... Rachel remembered the political satire that Xiao Lizi acted in a few years ago, but the theme of that movie was very clear, but this one...?What are you sarcastic about?
The picture was born again on the movie screen.

Yes, there are easter eggs in this movie.

The shot of the easter egg looks up from a low place, it should be a baby's perspective, and the sound of 'quack' can be heard.

From this perspective, everything in the room seems dreamy and blurred. It should be simulating the baby's undeveloped eye structure. The baby sees the sofa, the carpet, the toys on the carpet, and then sees the baby under the bed. Tentacles shining with holy light...

"You are here~" A voice sounded, it seemed to be from Long Ma, and then a pair of hands hugged the baby, and the tentacle retracted quickly as if frightened.

Those are the tentacles of God, Rachel thought.

So what does this ending signify?
God has not given up on the world?
Or, after the demons took control of the human world, the gods lost their heaven and could only live in the human world?

Is this child the child of EL and Longma?
The movie screening is over.

Some of the audience in the movie theater did not leave for a long time. They gathered there to discuss the plot in a low voice. When Rachel went to the bathroom, some people could still hear people discussing what the movie was about.

Indeed, it tells a religious story in the framework of a superhero movie. If you don’t think about it, you can easily understand it. Once you think about it, you will find that it puts a huge question mark in your mind.

It's cool.

And it's hard to understand.

Rachel felt that she could watch it again, but not today, but waited for her to think about it, read some other people's movie reviews, and after finding the real context of the director's intention to express in the movie, she would go to compare and appreciate it again.

All in all, a great movie.

A story full of connotations is packaged in the form of a popcorn movie. The temperament of this movie is a bit unique. Rachel believes that even if it does not perform well in theaters due to various influences, it will be popular in the video tape market afterwards. It will also have strong vitality.

When leaving the movie theater, Rachel noticed the movie "Heavenly Visitor" again. If she hadn't had to go to work tomorrow, Rachel would really buy another movie ticket, because she was very impressed with Xiao Lizi and Truman in "Spawn". The ending of the time is full of a sense of unfinished business.

Rachel did see that many people directly bought tickets for "Heavenly Visitor".

But another day.

It's too late today.

……

The box office of "Spawn" showed a "reverse decline" trend in the second week. In the case of the box office of all movies in the same period was declining, it rose to 6800 million US dollars, ranking third in the weekly box office rankings, surpassing "Blade Warrior 4", good performance.

But the environmental disturbance surrounding it has also intensified. Environmental protection girls began to make "boycott "Spawn" speeches on various occasions, and the film crew had nothing to do about it.

By the third week, "Spawn" surpassed "How to Train Your Dragon" live-action version, and got 7000 million US dollars at the box office. Box office champion.

So far, "Spawn" has earned 2 million box office, and there is still 5 million US dollars to pay back. This is an unattainable distance. Even if it is released for a long period of 14 weeks, the box office cannot not fall. It will also decline, and it is still impossible to recover the cost in the end.

What's more, next week "Spawn" will usher in a super strong opponent, "Avengers 5: Dynasty of Kang".

No matter how the new heroes of Marvel are not as good as the previous generation, "Avengers" is still the world's largest hero IP, and it is rolling in, unstoppable.

So Spawn certainly won't be the box office hit it never was.

"Avengers 5" will end its road to survival against the market.

For "Spawn", the evaluation of many film critics is "it's a pity".

If it hadn't experienced various turmoil from the shooting stage, and could be released one month in advance to avoid the head-on confrontation with "Reunion 1", then this movie is likely to become a phenomenon-level movie, whether it is commercial or not. Angle or cultural angle.

A senior film critic of THR believes: "CH has contributed a film with a unique personal style, which is not some kind of visual expression or plot characteristic, but a kind of both 'artistic' and 'commercial value' Unique atmosphere..."

"Shang-Chi 2 was the same, Spawn was the same, the critics didn't like it when they reviewed it, Jason Cullen even threatened it wouldn't come out and got his investment back, but the audience loved it , because they weren't made for critics."

"CH has pointed out a clear path for directors and producers who are troubled by not being able to balance 'commercial' and 'personal expression', but I don't recommend that directors learn from it. It is a talent, and if you are not careful, you will lose money. Lost a lot of money from investors."

"Of course, "Spawn" will probably cause CH and his investors to lose a lot of money. That's because it was born at an 'untimely time'. Girl, what exactly did Spawn 'regenerate'?"

The veteran film critic was attacked by environmentalists for his last ironic question, and his car was splattered with green paint. These are environmentalists, a group of legal thugs.

In the first week of October, which is the fourth week of the release of "Spawn", it confronted "Avengers 10: Dynasty of Kang" head-on. This "Avengers 5" is Time Warner's darling. The award ceremony was held at the Hollywood Grand Theater, and there were many stars, and Truman received an invitation letter.

Of course, Truman didn't go, not because he minded that "Spawn" was severely beaten by "Reunion 5" in terms of film schedule and publicity scale, but because of the blatant environmental protection girl and the decline of "Spawn". More "demonic influence", as soon as he goes out now, he will get lost or even get into a car accident.

After the star-studded premiere, "Reunion 5" handed over a satisfactory answer to Time Warner, with a box office of 1.6 million in the first week, while "Spawn" plummeted to 3200 million US dollars.

"Spawn" faces "Reunion 5", and Truman faces the environmental protection girl. The defeat of both seems to be a foregone conclusion.
