With this inherent disadvantage, “Monster Universe” regrettably made the second move wrong.
Godzilla and King Kong seem to be set as guardians of the earth and order defenders, and they are the absolute righteous party. And stupid and arrogant humans are the ones who make mistakes.
But after looking at the four films, we can understand that, in essence, the core of this movie universe is still two words:
Tame the beast.
King Kong went from the man-made Skull Island to the center of the earth. It seems that he has been liberated. Isn’t it still controlled by human technology and iron chains? Godzilla, an ancient beast, was still led by the nose by various human devices, and there was basically no subjective initiative.
Did you see it?
The “monster universe” of Warner and Legend is here.
While criticizing the greed and shamelessness of humans on the subject, while expressing the absolute control over the fate of monsters by humans.
Stand again, it’s you.
Please don’t insult “no-brain cool film”
Of course, one point is:
Watching these kinds of movies, you lose your mind if you think about it.
Why? Because this is just a “no-brained cool film” that simply displays physical excitement, monster fights, demolishing buildings and houses, going into the sea, and all kinds of visual bombings. What more bicycles do you need?
Hurry up, don’t bring such an insult to “no-brain cool film”.
What is “no brain cool film”?
For example, in the field of monster movies, “Pacific Rim” is the representative of no-brain film.
Let’s talk about no brain first.
No brains, it’s not that the script doesn’t really need to be logical and nonsense, but the film does not have much appeal and profound expression on the theme, but none of the basic elements are missing. For example, there is a simple and clear background setting, the characters have clear growth lines and emotional lines, and the actions, soundtracks and art have brilliant highlights and memory points.
In this part, “Pacific Rim” is at the textbook level.
The near-future background, the invasion of monsters, the guardianship of mechas, the fate of the characters who inherited and turned, merged with the action drama, and has become a classic soundtrack.
Let’s talk about cool films.
A cool film, not to mention the rough stacking of special effects and various bombardments on the faces of the audience. But on the basis of visual effects, can the audience be able to empathize with the story and the characters, and finally fully invest in them, crying or laughing for the changes in the fate of the characters.
In the last article, I also wrote that the success of “Avatar” is the victory of technology + empathy. The same goes for “Pacific Rim”.
After watching “Godzilla vs. King Kong”, I revisited “Pacific Rim” over the weekend. Because the time has passed so long, I have forgotten that this movie did not really start the climax of mecha vs monster until an hour later. Its core is still talking about people, about their growth, about their sacrifices, and about the most beautiful and precious qualities of mankind.
In terms of specific details, such as the integration of man and machine, human characters can deeply participate in the narrative, avoiding the “monster universe” human end.The problem of whole chicken ribs.
It’s such a “no-brain” story, which allows me to watch with all my heart and tears in my eyes.
This is the cool film in capitals.
So, don’t use “no-brain cool films” as a fig leaf for bad ones.
Remember, from “Monster Universe” to almost all the blockbusters starring in Dashi Johnson in recent years (there is also a monster movie “Raging Giant” Beast”), that is not a “brainless film”.
That’s a rotten movie that is so uneven. It’s okay to like watching bad movies, just admit it.
The “monsters” of different eras are different from each other.
That person said, according to your strict standards, then we can’t even see a few “no brains” in a year.
Yes, this is reality.
In fact, this is what I have always wanted to emphasize:
We are in an era when film art seems to be prosperous but in fact declining-the more we compare the performance of films of the same genre in different eras vertically, the more certain this conclusion can be.
The 1933 “King Kong” is regarded as the originator of monster movies.
Looking back now, its contribution is more in the advancement of special effects technology. For example, simulation models and miniature models, including frame-by-frame shooting of the monster’s movements, have a profound impact on the later.
