Chapter 21 Refreshing
Ask for a recommendation! Ask for collection!
what……
The elevator fell quickly, and the female passengers screamed in horror, probably stimulated by the continuous flashing pictures, and there was a young woman's exclamation in the theater.
Sitting with his mother in another movie theater in Los Angeles, Duke was very calm. He cut off many transitional plots in the film. For example, after the murder at the beginning, the film directly switched to a group of people talking and laughing and walking into the elevator.
Yes, rhythm, what he wants is a continuous fast rhythm, so that the audience never has a chance to relax completely, and a few transitional episodes are also omitted.
There is also the exaggerated appearance of Jack's car, which has a distinct Hollywood style of the 1980s. Duke did not hesitate to change it into a beautiful tail-swing parking after the car galloped.
The next episodes of the film, such as saving lives, searching for the bomber, shooting Harry, and the first large-scale explosion, are not surprising. They are all rotten scenes used by Hollywood. The only difference is that these scenes are used. It took place in the extremely confined space of the elevator, the narrow environment and the tight time brought the audience an urgent sense of oppression!
On the other side of Mrs. Leah, starting from the elevator down, a female audience member's hand has been pressing on her chest, and her rapid breathing also shows her nervous mood at the moment.
Stressful, breathless...
This is the biggest feeling that the film brings to Kunites. In the past 20 minutes, he fully recognized Jones's absolutely wonderful evaluation of the film. The opening scene of these 20 minutes alone is enough to be worth the $5 ticket. price.
boom……
The explosion that could have blown up the entire building was simply the best ending to the opening scene of the film.
Huh...huh...
The surrounding companions took quick breaths one after another, and it seemed that they had completely forgotten to breathe during those twenty minutes, especially the middle-aged audience in their thirties who took off their jackets, and the thick breathing sounded like It's the running bull from Texas.
After taking several deep breaths in a row, Johnson's chest gradually calmed down. As a movie fan with more than ten years of movie watching experience, this is the most exciting opening scene he has seen since the 1990s, except Terminator 2. play!
In terms of the level of excitement, this beginning is indeed not as good as Terminator 2, but when it comes to thrills, it is definitely not under James Cameron's masterpiece.
The picture gradually enters a transitional plot. The mayor of Los Angeles is honoring Jack and Harry. Johnson's nervousness has recovered a little, and his demeanor is gradually relaxed. He takes the Coke placed next to him and prepares to take a few sips. According to the general situation, the film In the next period of time, it will definitely enter a relatively flat buffer period.
However, before Johnson brought the straw to his mouth, the picture suddenly changed. The bomber was sitting in front of the TV and applauding the male protagonist Jack. The camera switched between him and Jack several times. He, there will be a good show between these two people in the future!
He shouldn't be stupid enough to go straight to Jack to fight him?
Looking at the visibly aging bomber, the only female companion asked Jones, If this is the next episode, it's too cliché, and it's no different from those muscle-struggling action movies, Keanu Reeve. Although... well, he's handsome, but he doesn't have any muscles to sell, right?
This is not a traditional action movie! Jones replied casually, motioning his female companion to watch the screen, Look, the showdown is about to be staged!
Although there were voices coming from behind, it didn't affect Johnson in the slightest. When he saw the bomber, his nerves tensed up again. The plot of the movie changed quickly again. Jack, who was on vacation, walked out of the coffee shop and skillfully followed a The middle-aged man greeted him and watched him get on the bus and drive into the distance, then...
It was an explosion that can only be described as earth-shattering. The fire covered the entire screen, and the camera shot out from the inside to the outer layer with the fire of the explosion, creating an illusion for the eyes of the people that the explosion happened in front of them. After the roof of the lifted bus smashed a car into scrap metal, the window glass splattered in all directions against the backdrop of the fire, presenting an alternative glass explosion.
Although the occupants of the car must have been blown up, Johnson heard a chorus of admiration from nearby.
The explosion scene shot by this director is so exciting.
He seems to have a lot of experience with this.
That kind of shot from the inside out, the whole explosion is like what happened in front of you, how was it shot?
The rapid breathing sounded again, and Johnson realized that he did not know when he opened his mouth and felt a layer of fine sweat on his body. This was simply an explosion that surpassed the nuclear explosion scene in Terminator 2!
The plot of the movie is very fast, the rhythm is like a wheel that is spinning under Jack, a tourist bus is planted with a bomb by a bomber, as long as the speed exceeds 50 miles per hour, the bomb will activate, and then the speed is lower than 50 miles per hour. Miles and when the bus explodes when someone gets off, the bomber is forcing Jack, who sabotaged his first move, into a game of speed and life.
Later, the film also explained the bomber's crazy purpose-he was originally a bomb disposal expert in other state police stations. After being forced to resign after an injury, he could not get his pension, and wanted to use this method to extort his pension. money.
Seeing this, Johnson suddenly felt a little sympathy for the old man. This is not a natural bad guy, but because of some real helplessness, he embarked on the road of madness. This is not completely masked in other action movies. The villain, in the confrontation behind Jack, seems to be very real with flesh and blood.
He is taciturn and looks like an ordinary retired old man, but when he occasionally shows a fierce light, it is very terrifying, and he seems quite rational, but as long as he goes against his will, his evil innermost will burst out immediately! Especially in the close-ups that the camera explained several times, he always had a madness, and it was not the kind of madness that was revealed on the outside.
In Johnson's eyes, the bomber is even more realistic than the always stern-faced Jack.
By the way, I remember that the screenwriter and director are the same person on the subtitles that I vaguely pay attention to. The villain he set is simply too good.
All misfortunes come from the federal government?
In another theater, Mrs. Leah whispered to Duke, who shrugged, The Washington authorities will always be the best culprits in Hollywood movies.
In the movie, under the premise of political correctness, the federal government can be smeared as much as possible. The unemployed people are unfortunate, it is the fault of the federal government! Too many homeless people, it's the federal government's fault! It's also the federal government's fault that the bomber doesn't get his pension!
At this moment, among the black people sitting in front, there was a slight complaint, It's the white people who save the world again!
Indeed, the driver of the bus was a black man at the beginning, but he was soon replaced by a white heroine because of the injury. Jack, who was the rescuer, was naturally a white police officer, and among the passengers behind, there were a large number of Asians and Latinos. Minorities such as Africans and Africans.
Duke paid great attention to this point when shooting. Although the transitional plot was cut short, many large scenes were shot with models, and there was a Naomi Watts in the back compartment who was playing soy sauce because of compromise, but among the rescuers and the rescued The distribution of users has not changed.
The distribution of passengers in the bus can be said to be the epitome of North American society.
Wow, cool!
There was another burst of exclamation in the theater, followed by warm applause. Mrs. Leah couldn't remember how many times this was. Although there were not many audiences, they were frequently applauding the movie and the people who made it!
A hint of pride gradually appeared on her calm face, which was the pride of a mother!
Now, she gradually believes that Duke will become her greatest pride!
The director's name is Duke Rosenberg!
Next to Dunn, Jones' voice suddenly sounded, he was reminding his companions, This young guy is an excellent director! Guys, his explosion is unparalleled, even if there is no plot suitable for explosion, he can find alternative explosions. !
In a scene just past, the bus hit the car that was pulling the bucket of water. The water splashed in the sky was as wild as the Caribbean Sea under a hurricane. It was an explosion with water used as explosives!
The rolling wheels, the speedometer that always hovers at 50, the various crashes and chaos caused by the bus are all stimulating the nerves of Jones and others, they cheer for it, applaud it, even sprinkle the popcorn They don't care about it on the ground, they only have this movie in their eyes!
Only Life and Death!
Speed of Life and Death did not disappoint them either. The intense and exciting plots are interlocking, and the soaring speed and rhythm make people breathless. The decision of life and death must be made in high-speed movement, isn't it exciting enough?
This is definitely a rare top action movie!
As a veteran movie fan, even if the film is far from over, Johnson has come to a conclusion in his heart - there are few scenes of direct confrontation between the pros and cons of the film, and it is entirely a battle of wits and courage through the bus. This is an alternative. The action movie is also a peculiar action movie. The exciting rhythm and scenes of the film seem to never end. The director uses the most slick, beautiful, exciting and fast shots to place them on the big screen one after another.
There are flaws in the film. If you look for loopholes in the plot, Johnson can even find a few easily, but the rhythm and picture of the film, which are so shocking and exciting, gorgeous and suspenseful, are enough to conceal the young director's storytelling. existing defects.
That's how Johnson really feels about the film.
Then, there was an explosion that made his blood boil again on the sound of the theater. The whole house was reduced to rubble in the explosion. Although Jack's partner died inside, Johnson just wanted to applaud the explosion, the kind of The refreshing feeling of adrenaline rushing made him extremely high.
