Please recommend! Please bookmark it!

The premiere of Los Angeles has just come to an end. Among the major mainstream theaters located on New York on the East Coast, midnight show is about to begin.

"Look, this is Christopher Lee..."

Getting off the taxi at Times Square, Erin unfolded the poster in her hand and placed it in front of several companions, "This is definitely the coolest and most elegant old man in Hollywood!"

"Irene, how many times have you repeated it?"

A black-haired girl curled her lips in dissatisfaction and greeted the other four companions to walk towards the AMG Cinema opposite the square, "No matter how cool and elegant Li is, no matter how legendary Li is, it cannot change the fact that he is an old man! What we like is a handsome young man..."

"Oh, God..." she showed a fancy expression. "As long as I think of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, I'm drunk."

"So you must watch "Night Visit to Vampire"?" Erin asked dissatisfiedly.

"yes!"

Three of the female companions said at the same time, "We are here to watch "Night Visit to Vampire"!"

"Where are you, Anna?"

When I walked into the theater, Erin asked her friends that although she was studying film at New York University, Anna prefers fast-paced movies. She shrugged, "I'm not interested in those two poker faces."

These words attracted the glare of the three girls. Anna and Erin quickly left their sight and walked to the ticket office. Because it was too late, there were not many people waiting to buy the ticket.

""Brave the Deadly Island", midnight show, two!" Erin said.

""Night Visit to Vampire", midnight show, three photos!"

The voices of several girls caught the attention of a middle-aged woman at the resting place. Her name is Chris, an employee of the Warner Bros. investigation and consulting firm, who has been observing the ticket sales of "Brave the Deadly Island" and its biggest competitor, "The Night Visit to the Vampire".

She sat here for two hours, and there was almost no suspense when she observed it. Just like the ticket purchases of several girls just now, in the midnight venue that relied on the support of fans, the ticket sales volume of "Night Visit Vampire" was as stable as "Battle of the Deadly Island".

Time is gradually approaching midnight in the eastern time zone, and fewer and fewer people enter the theater. Most of the people who come in during this period are coming to these two newly released films. Chris occasionally chats with people to understand the audience's viewing mentality.

Most of the viewers who chose "Night Visit to Vampire" are due to the influence of the starring role and the original work, while the supporters of "Battle of the Deadly Island" are mostly action movie lovers. They have been paying attention to this film since the Super Bowl commercial.

Nearly two-thirds of the audience asked by Chris said they first learned about "The Island of Death" from the Super Bowl midfield advertisement, and the Hummers and Ferrari chased the car and the unique "bomb perspective" left them with extremely deep impressions.

With targeted advertising and a suitable promotional platform, Warner's promotion seems to be doing well. Chris keenly captured a little from these messy information. The advertising campaign of "Brave the Deadly Island" in the Super Bowl seemed to have played a significant role.

Sitting in the cinema, Anna took the water handed over by Erin, put it aside, and her eyes turned around. There were about forty viewers, most of whom were men, and there were relatively few female action movie fans like them.

The film quickly opened the curtain. Just like Duke Rosenberg's previous film, "Brave the Deadly Island" also has a super fast pace. The transitional plot often flashes by, constantly using actions, explosions and speed scenes to sensation. Erin next to her kept shouting since the first action scene, without the ladylike style of a famous family.

Unlike Erin, Anna majored in filmmaking at the university. While watching movies, she also used a calm mind to constantly analyze the plot of the movie. When the film gradually reached the end, she also had a lot of experience.

In Anna's opinion, the storyline of this movie is filled with all kinds of trial and error at all costs.

In General Hammer's main line, in order to make trouble and not receive timely pensions, he stole the VX gas missile and lost one person; he entered the Alcatraz Prison and summoned two Marine elites by acquaintances, which was a major strategic defeat and a fatal mistake; he eliminated the seal led by Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, but missed the two protagonists, and the first tactical step was wrong; he lured John Mason with hostages, imprisoned Mason and Gusby, but was escaped by Mason and defeated the Marine elites one by one, which was the second tactical step; he modified the flight track because he did not want the missile to hit down the downtown area of ​​San Francisco, causing internal strife and died at the hands of his subordinates. This was the third tactical step.

The prosecution is also constantly trying and making mistakes. For example, Gusby, one of the protagonists, almost died because his colleague played with a doll during the bomb disposal process. He was summoned to the airport and talked about his understanding of VX gas when the situation was unknown, so he was regarded as the best candidate for bomb disposal. In the dispute with John Mason, he was defeated without any force; because he was not trained, although he narrowly won the battle, he ignited the green smoke bomb a little later and was flew into the sea by the explosion air waves.

Although the story is advanced in trial and error, it does not appear abrupt and stiff.

General Hammer knew that violence could not be exchanged for conscience for Congress, but his final behavior attracted the attention of the president; he did not kill any civilian from beginning to end. Although his kidnapping, imprisonment and launching were all terrorism, the sentence before his death - how could this happen, I did something - was enough to show my patriotism in my heart.

What he did was wrong in form, but in essence, was right.

As a positive figure, when the Pentagon, when politicians and the FBI were discussing the case, they knew that blasting Alcatraz would kill civilians, but they had to do it for national justice. They knew that imprisoning Mason was wrong, but they still tried to detain him again after the mission was completed. Although they knew that Gusby was a rookie, they still ordered him to remove the gas missile - no one except him could do it.

These decisions are not wrong in their approach, but are essentially blind, angry, shallow and short-sighted. Especially in the bathhouse ambush, all the seal members faced the condescending Marines, and the MP5 in their hands was simply not worth mentioning in the face of heavy firepower such as assault rifles...

This simple and direct sensational sentiment left a deep impression on Anna. If Mason's revenge on Womake represents a partial struggle of an individual against the unfair system and succeeded by luck, the ambush in the bathhouse means "a total failure of high-sounding justice in the face of evil"!

Of course, this is just her own opinion on the movie.

At the beginning, the SEALs tried to climb out of the sewer, but faced the laser alarm on the manhole cover. They used the method of reflecting laser light to avoid detection, but they did not expect that the laser alarm is actually a vibration warning device, and will be called as soon as contact and vibration occur.

So all the SEALs climbed out of the bathhouse in a grand manner, and what awaited them was the ruthless bullets. Although Lieutenant Colonel Anderson's passionate speech almost shook the morale of the army, the war never looked at the face.

Since the contradictions in the entire film are concentrated on the starting point of General Hammo's terrorist acts, the meaning of this scene is extremely exquisite.

"First, hypocrisy and justice wielding the moral stick to test the bottom line of evil, but found that evil ignored him, so he jumped out to sing and dance to peace..." Sitting in the seat, Anna shrugged, "but she was strangled by the awakened evil, and tore it to pieces like a chicken slaughtering."

Among them, the struggles of Lieutenant Colonel Anderson and several other SEALs before their deaths brought a deep sense of powerlessness, and even touched her heart more than his passionate speech.

Even if the film continues to promote the development of the plot with various trial and error, it does not mean that it cannot achieve an ideal ending.

Anna could see that the young director of her age, in "Brave the Deadly Island", was not about being unprepared, but being prepared, and also achieved the most ideal results.

Although the film returns to the old-fashioned plot of personal heroism saving the world after the battle at the bathhouse, Anna does not feel disgusted at all with the director's exquisite techniques, but instead finds it equally exciting and interesting.

After all, she studied filmmaking for several years and quickly came up with some analysis.

In terms of dramatic performance, the multiple of contradictions and conflicts are limited. The local scenes explained by the camera language often have 100 angles for a plot of a second, but they cannot be presented to the audience. The movie cannot be shot like this - especially in a compact action-themed movie like "Breaking into the Deadly Island".

After the first 70 minutes of the film intensified the contradictions and conflicts, it was no longer possible to promote the plot through the narrative style of the big scenes. Director Duke Rosenberg simply introduced a spiral upward structure here, shifting the perspective from the whole to the part, and bringing out the development of the overall story through the conflict of characters.

This is a very clever method transformation. It seems very simple to say, but it is quite difficult to use in practice.

The young director was obviously becoming more and more mature! Anna sighed in her heart.

Therefore, the film changed from the previous and the previous and the other sides to the other side to the other side to the other side to the other side to the other side to the other side to the other side to the other.

Next, although the film's screen tension is not as strong as before and the team battles are so exaggerated, the details are more refined, and the camera language and the actors' personal performances are more intense. Many foreshadowings presets of the plot are becoming more outstanding when unbuttoned through lines and actions.

In "Brave the Deadly Island", this transformation is very natural and has laid a lot of foreshadowing in advance, so the effect...

"Just like Romanesque architecture with Gothic floral windows and glasses, it changes the dull and depressing feeling caused by insufficient lighting."
