Collect meow want to eat fish 5　　" After I watched'Hudson's Eagle', I once thought that Hugo Lancaster would not appear in action movies for a long time-because I was ashamed. . But unexpectedly, when'Life and Death Hour' landed on the big screen, I had to stand up and applaud for Hugo Lancaster. Like me, there were two thousand spectators attending the premiere."

As always, Nicholas McLenna always praised Hugo and never forgot to spit out a word or two. This has also become a major feature of him. In this film review called "Action Movie Innovation", Nicholas is standing again Commented on a completely different perspective.

"Action movies, also known as thrilling action movies, are a type of movie with intense and intense thrilling actions and audiovisual tension as the core. Movie stories can never escape from a fixed pattern. A brave and witty protagonist confronts an incredibly dangerous situation. After a series of intense and exciting violent fights and gun battles, it reached a victorious ending. From a traditional perspective, the audience of action movies are mainly male audiences aged 15 to 35, including fighting, stunts, drag racing and Explosive movies, the main line of justice over evil, and the solution is often to resort to violence.

Generally speaking, action movies tend to become box office darlings, but they are not easily recognized by critics because of their oversimplified story structure and flat depiction of pros and cons.

Action movies were pushed to the pinnacle in the 1980s, including the '007' James Bond series, the'Die Hard' series, the'Indiana Jones' series, the'First Blood' series, and the'Terminator' series. A huge success, this type of film has been pushed to the extreme. It has developed from an adventure legend in the classic period to pure violence and audio-visual stimulation. The aesthetics of violence has gradually emerged. The infinite and indestructible contemporary heroes have pushed the special effects and stunts to the extreme violent and crazier, which directly led to the gradual increase in film production costs, and reached the extreme in'Terminator 2': the first in film history appeared. Ministry of investment over 100 million works.

At the same time, this has also led to more criticism of action movies. The story is weak, monotonous male heroes, leaky stories and character designs, and empty plot excavations. It has also caused film critics to sneer at action movies. If you sum up the action movies of recent years in one sentence, it would be, ‘fuck, bang, boom, boom’. Endless fights, endless explosions, coupled with endless fights, this constitutes a movie.

But the emergence of "Life and Death Speed" has opened up a whole new world for action movies: no explosions, no fights, no special effects, no high investment, serious storytelling, and still able to create amazing action movies!

In fact, the "speed of life and death" cannot be said to be "innovation", but rather retro. Before the extremes of action movies, the action movies of the 1960s were still able to shoot impressively without high investment. s work. ‘Life and Death Hour’ has sent a reminder to people with his actual actions: an investment of 28 million US dollars can also make an excellent action movie!

In the history of movies, action movies like "Life and Death Hour" that are not optimistic about the results but ushered in crazy praise after the premiere are very rare, not to mention, this is a "new" work. Director Jane Yide-Bont is only directing a film for the first time, but he is a blockbuster; Sandra Bullock and Leonardo DiCaprio are all newcomers, and they are paired with Hugo, who has risen strongly in the past two years. The starring performance is natural but mature, with fresh and smooth style and perfect coordination; most importantly, the content and technique of this work have achieved many innovative breakthroughs compared with previous action movies.

The plot structure of the movie is not new. It basically continues the tradition of action movies. There are intense and fierce fights, there are critical crises, and there is a budding romance in life and death. This is an authentic action movie. But the story of ‘Life and Death Hour’ provides a new perspective for action movies.

The movie uses a narrow bus as the main scene. Time is constantly passing by, but the danger cannot be ruled out. The bus is driving in the downtown area of ​​Los Angeles, the city with blue sky and white clouds, beautiful scenery, everything looks so ordinary and ordinary, and the crowded traffic in the city can be seen everywhere, but all this may become a reminder for the bus, and the bus has to keep it. I told everyone that when I was traveling on the highway, another bomb might explode at any time.

In ordinary action movies, the soaring speed of the car is often a precursor to excitement, stimulating people's adrenaline, and the shuttle of the drag racing is the moment when the speed is repeated; but in this work, the increase in the speed of the car means With the coming of death, the audience's mood becomes more and more tense. Every change in the speed of the car maintains the danger of bombs, and makes people gradually reach the extreme of tension.

More importantly, De Bont chose the scene of the story on the bus that can be touched at any time in daily life, and the streets and scenery of the city of Los Angeles are the most important part of the movie. At a certain moment The background image of may be the place where the audience goes to work, and the traffic jam on a certain street may be the road for the audience to go home, which also makes people feel more real and heavy. De Bonte firmly grasped the expressive power of the speed of life and death, and successfully used this technique on the moving subway in the second half of the movie, and carried out an all-round interpretation of speed.

The film closely revolves around the explosion crisis, and has performed different perspectives on the expression of speed. The main line of the story is simple and clear, the plot is compact, and the advancement is fast. All plots serve the main line, and the whole story line is clearly presented, which is completely called It is a classic "How to Tell an Action Movie Story" tutorial, which can be described as a miracle in movie history!

'Speed ​​of life and death' can be regarded as the best explanation for the name of'stress and excitement'. There is no nonsense and no hesitation in the advancement of the whole movie. It is clear and relaxed. It has created a precedent for action movies and will be weak. The story is full and exciting enough. The audience will feel the same at any time when they watch it. They will feel more nervous than when they watched it for the first time, as if they were visiting the scene again and again.

Throughout the whole movie, there are only a handful of fighting scenes, only a handful of explosion scenes, and even a handful of confrontation scenes, but the film’s stress index has not diminished at all. On the contrary, it has gradually reached its peak as time progresses. From the elevator to the bus to the subway, there is a wave after another, so that the audience has no time to drink water.

The same simple story, the same lone hero, and the same stimulating violence, but the "speed of life and death" is presented in a completely different and completely new, concise and vivid way, which makes the action movie rejuvenate and powerful. vitality.

‘Too simple story frame and graphic depiction of pros and villains’, this is the most criticized problem of action movies by film critics, but it has been alleviated in the ‘speed of life’.

The simple story structure is supplemented by several story branches. At the same time, it does not give the audience any breathing space on the main story line, throwing out the crisis one after another, dizzying, and the story is over before people can react. This makes the whole story extraordinarily full, and recollects it with a clear context of the story, but it is full of details.

Simple pros and cons, but rely on the actor's own strength to fill up. Although the role of Sandra Bullock who plays Anne is simple, she is a silly elder sister who is pure and humorous, full of justice and calm. The performance is very good; although Dennis Hopper, who plays Payne, does not have much performance space, the image of madness is still very clear.

The most important thing is that Hugo Lancaster, who plays Jack, used his personal charm to complete the role. The anger and grief when his teammates passed away showed that he valued friendship; he was clever in dealing with the chaos and conflicts inside the bus. He is neat, showing his rationality in dealing with difficulties; his calmness and courage in the face of crisis, showing his control of emergency scenes i0 These countless details can be found in his amber eyes, there is no doubt that It was a huge victory.

The movie ‘Life and Death Hour’ proves that a limited space can still be filled with content, and a limited time can still be filled with details. This undoubtedly opens up a new path for action movies!

Glory to death attempts to break the shackles brought by grunge rock, triggering a deep discussion of rock and roll, allowing people to appreciate rock and music from different perspectives, and then bringing a new atmosphere of rock renaissance since 1977, driving the whole The prosperity and prosperity of the rock circle.

'Pulp Fiction' tried to break the shackles of gangster movies, telling stories with a new perspective and different ways, and then triggered indiscriminate discussions. After'Godfather 2'and'Good Guys', they reproduced the prosperity of gangster movies. A new narrative technique was opened.

'Life and Death Speed' attempts to break the shackles of action movies and write a new chapter on the same story track, making people realize that action movies are not only adrenaline stimulation~www.readwn.com~, but also visual And the enjoyment of hearing, let this popcorn movie truly become a kind of enjoyment!

What role did Hugo Lancaster play in this revolution? It is curious. "

Nicholas’s film reviews made people’s eyes bright. This time he did not focus on Hugo, but instead focused on the innovation of the entire film "Life and Death" and discussed the entire genre, which undoubtedly aroused more widespread discussion. At the same time, it can be seen that Nicholas's pursuit of this movie is even more conspicuous than the 93 points he scored.

After all, although the score of ninety-three is high, it is still not as fierce as Nicholas's shooting of all types of films. You know, although Nicholas did not clearly point out, he obviously criticized the previous classic action movies. "Life and death speed" is placed to challenge countless classics!

In the eyes of some interested people, it has directly risen to the height of the duel between the "speed of life and death" and the "true lies" that will be released a few weeks later, which also detonated countless speculations in an instant.
