506 Exclaimed again and again
On the big screen, the tit-for-tat confrontation was tense and on the verge of breaking out. The tight and strong smell of gunpowder slowly spread throughout the theater. Even James Bernard, a senior film critic of the "Village Voice", could not bear it. I couldn't help but hold my breath and couldn't turn my eyes away, lest I miss any detail..
Hobbes stood forcefully in front of Dominic, with his seemingly calm but turbulent eyes, he stared at Dominic sharply and pointedly, leaving no way for him to escape, and his turbulent and powerful aura was hard. All the breath around him was suppressed deep in his throat, and the air was so tight that it almost burst..
This was the first head-on confrontation between Dominic and Hobbes, but the sparks they imagined did not happen, because Dominic was completely at a disadvantage..
Standing in front of Hobbes, Dominic seemed to be smaller than him. From the physical height distance to the mental and psychological gap, he was completely suppressed. The strong eyes that pretended to be calm actually seemed to be full of emotion, and he was obviously lacking in confidence. It looked exaggerated and messy, which made Dominic passive.
Seeing this, Brian quickly stepped forward and stood side by side with Dominic. The two of them joined forces to confront Hobbes. Hobbes' eyes lightly swept over Brian, who faced the contest openly and uprightly. The law enforcement officers were equal and fair to the former law enforcement officers, but they could easily kill him with one blow. Brian subconsciously pursed his lips, but his shaking pupils revealed his inner tension..
The audience's long-awaited "King Meets the King" was finally staged, but it was not at all what they imagined. It's not that it was worse or disappointing; to be precise, it was overjoyed, but because this surprise was too big The surge was so overwhelming that it was jaw-dropping.
James considered himself an "experienced driver", but before his head could react, the exclamations had already escaped. This... this was simply appalling.！
Objectively speaking, James thinks "Fast and Furious 5" is very good. The plot is still simple and crude, and it completely follows the basic template of commercial movies. The direction of the story is predictable: Brian finally learns that Mia is pregnant, and he and Dominic discussed and decided to wash his hands of the golden basin, but before completely retreating from the world, the two of them planned to make a fortune..
It is not difficult to choose a target. They are now wanted and hunted by Reyes, the all-powerful gangster in Rio de Janeiro. Since an unending confrontation has been formed, it is better to go with the flow and take a shot at this gang godfather. Big, and then retire after success.
As a result, all the subsequent plots became clear. The whole team was gathered together, and all the outstanding characters from the previous four series of movies returned; emphasizing the difficulty of the task, Reyes placed his entire underground vault in the police station. Moreover, the biometric password is protected at all levels; the team divides labor and cooperates to solve the problems one by one, and begins to prepare tools for the final task..
Later, they discovered that Hobbes was pursuing him. Instead of being passively beaten, it was better to take the initiative. They decided to set up a trap to actively attract Hobbes, and then used absolute force to intimidate Hobbes to let Hobbes calm down for a while. Time gives you the window to commit the crime. By the time Hobbes chases them again, they will have already flown away..
There are no surprises in all the ups and downs. They are all routines..
However, James didn't mind. Director Justin showed good business sense in controlling the rhythm of the plot, interspersing humor and matching the characters' styles. The whole movie was very smooth to watch, and the constant laughter in the theater was the best part. good proof.
But, that’s it. It maintains the standard of popcorn commercial movies, and may be a little better, but that’s it, let alone classics such as “Inception” and “Batman: The Dark Knight” Compared with commercial works, even if compared with works such as "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man", this is still slightly inferior..
The reason is very simple. The movie has almost no focus on the protagonist's ideological changes, personality shaping, etc. Forget it. Even the beginning and end of the plot does not have a clear core thread. Everything is simple and crude to the extreme..
“"Iron Man" thought about the relationship between war and weapons, and then achieved the awakening of personal thought; "Spider-Man" thought about the relationship between ability and responsibility, and witnessed the process of a boy transforming into a man. But "Fast and Furious 5" Just stimulating, stimulating, stimulating again, the whole movie is full of sensory stimulation. During the movie watching, all the five senses can experience an enjoyment, but when you think about it carefully, there is nothing left..
It is indeed difficult for such "Fast and Furious 5" to compete with the ambitious second step of the Marvel Universe, "Thor".
But at this moment, Hobbes appeared again！
The movie has been playing for more than seventy minutes. This is only the fourth appearance of Hobbes, but every time he appears, it is eye-catching..
Not only his tough and straightforward style, not only his wise and cunning strategies, but also the incredible ability to still have the upper hand with one against two, but also the strong aura of every gesture, which easily fleshes out the character.——
James couldn't help but start to guess that Hobbes should have been a soldier before and seemed to be an undisciplined think tank. Why did he transfer to the FBI and leave the battlefield? Hobbes has a cunning and changeable style of acting, taking things first but not being reckless. According to the script, Hobbes led a team to the parking lot to surround Dominic and Paul. This seemed sloppy. With Renly The performance is out of touch. Such small details are actually the shortcomings of the script, but the actors give the characters more vitality. If the screenwriter is willing to spend a little more brains, then the overall quality of the movie can be improved to a higher level..
Everyone knows that the power of performance is extremely important, but they ignore the requirements for performance in commercial movies. The scene in front of him made James see a clear gap. No, even a layman can tell that something is wrong..
Fan's performance was too stiff and exaggerated, and his entire expression and movements were full of a "pretending" rigidity, but lacked confidence, so that he was completely crushed; Paul's performance was too thin, and his expressions were almost There is no change. The emotion revealed in the eyes is full enough, but it shows a straight line with no layers, no strength, and no change, which wastes the great atmosphere of this scene..
The direct result is that Fan and Paul combined are still half a head shorter than Renly..
Renly's portrayal of Hobbes shows no trace of acting at all. His emotions and style are clear in every move and gesture, and in the changes in his eyebrows. At the same time, in terms of habitual movements and details in his eyes, he gives the character more connotation in a superficial way. , making the character "Luke Hobbs" suddenly full and vivid.
Although it is unfair to say this, the fact is that after only four appearances, less than ten minutes in total, the character of Hobbes has been more prominent in five series than Dominic, Brian, Mia, etc. The characters in the work need to be more fleshed out.
Dominic's bluff was supported by the arms of the entire parking lot. Now it was no longer two people against one person, but hundreds of people in the audience against Hobbs alone. But even so, Hobbes still did not fall apart, and in the end Although he had no choice but to retreat, Hobbes still maintained a strong threat and suppression.
When James saw Hobbes' last action of pulling the trigger, adrenaline exploded for the first time..
Pure racing, pure fighting, and pure gun battles actually bring very little enjoyment to professional film critics like James, because they are too familiar with such routines, unless it is as technical as "Avatar" Revolution, or something as unimaginable as "Inception", otherwise their movie watching is always so peaceful.
But at this moment, Hobbs's evil and flamboyant, bloodthirsty and tough demonstration actions allowed James to see a classic clown-like character again. This description may not be correct. After all, "Batman" The clown in it is the villain, and Hobbes is the law enforcement officer who represents justice; but the fact is that James began to be curious about the story behind Hobbes, and what made him such a charming character.？
James is obviously not alone.
Eli Murphy stood up suddenly, and the exclamations in the theater came one after another. In just three minutes, they happened intensively at least four times, especially the last time, and even a few could be heard. A sudden whistle, followed by joyful laughter and gasps of wonder.
what happened? what happened？
This is not the end yet, "Wow!" The exclamation rang out again, and Eli looked excitedly at the other companions at the door, "Racing? Is racing starting inside?？”
At this time, there were about 20 to 30 people standing at the door. None of them were able to get tickets for the premiere. In other words, they were more concerned about the reaction after the screening of the movie than the movie itself. This It is crucial for the opening battle. But now, their curiosity can't help boiling. The exclamations one after another, weak but clear, seem to indicate that tonight's premiere will usher in. came a huge success.
Suddenly, there was a sharp scream inside the theater, "Ah!" The screams were uneven. It could be heard that it was not just one person, or even more than a dozen people, but a large number of people were screaming at the same time. There was a scream, but only for an instant. After a flash of lightning, the scream disappeared. It was quiet, a deathly quiet..
Eli looked at the other people around him blankly, "What happened? What happened?" That scream, that silence, everything was too abnormal. What happened in the Chinese Theater?？
However, no one could answer Eli. Everyone stood up and looked at the door of the theater blankly and expectantly. The same thought came to their minds again: Why did they stupidly not enter the theater?？
This is really torture.
