Presumably Li Ang has realized that "Gemini Killer" will not achieve the expected reputation and box office, and may become a victim of technological exploration, so he was rather helpless in the conversation between Wuhan and Gao Xiaosong a few days ago, saying this The production cost of the film was relatively high, and the creation was very unfree. He was still under pressure after the screening, and modified the original ending.
"Gemini Killer" is about the National Intelligence Agency agent Henry (Will Smith) who is about to retire, but is chased by a mysterious man. Henry finds that the man is almost exactly the same as himself when he was young. The biggest attraction of is that it uses 120 frames per second + 3D + 4K to shoot , which means that you will see clearer images on the big screen, have a more engaged feeling of being there, and have a stronger The visual impact, the film is really enjoyable!
First of all, the film uses CG special effects to make 51-year-old Henry and 23-year-old Junior stand together, with the same looks, one with gray beard and vicissitudes of life, one with delicate skin and blank expression, both of them are extremely real and start to admire the superb. His makeup skills and Will Smith’s acting skills, and finally learned that Junior’s character was computer synthesized by capturing the actor’s facial movements, and Will Smith also watched a videotape to imitate himself in his early 20s. The
chasing scene of the two riding motorcycles is extremely exciting, the action scenes are dazzling and smooth, the constantly changing positions, the sense of speed, the parkour-like ups and downs, create an atmosphere of dizziness and anxiety, I am afraid that they will suddenly get off the motorcycle. Or fall off the wall, then the neck breaks and the waist breaks. The pictures of diving into the water are beautifully shot. The audience can clearly see the granular feeling of blisters, and the moment the glass is broken, there are many debris oncoming, which will make the audience subconsciously want to avoid it.
The strange thing is that this kind of visual effect will not make people addicted. The distinct depth of field gives a huge sense of reality, as if you are right next to Henry, with the same vigilance as him, experiencing chasing, being chased and shooting. The whole process is quite exhausting.
This is also the drawback of "Gemini Killer", it gives a climax visually, but the plot cannot match. Although the film involves human cloning, it does not dig deep into the moral ethics behind it. It is a perfunctory solution to kill the villain responsible for cloning (Clive Owen). The dialogue between Henry and Junior about the present and the past should be the focus of the film, but those superficial lines, coupled with Junior's unbelievable eyes and questioning, all show the cut corners in the plot layout. They are both fundamental. There is no such entanglement of twins or inheritance. It can be said that the film does not have a brilliant supporting role. The villain, Dany, and the tycoon are all functional, and they are the kind of characters that are forgotten after reading. The only unexpected scene in the
film is that the heavily armed man turned out to be a younger Junior with a younger face, but that's all.
In short, as a Hollywood blockbuster, "Gemini Killer" reduces Lee's previous personal characteristics to nothing. This may be what he wants to get rid of, but it is what the audience wants to see. Ang Lee’s "Father Trilogy", "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" roam between Eastern and Western cultures, showing his meticulous handling of family and comedy themes, "Lust Caution" is so exquisite Each picture has room for interpretation. The exquisite script, the dialogues full of wit and tension, the sophisticated service and the background of the times, and the soothing and quiet music can all make people empathize. I really feel that the movie is a fantasy.
But at the same time, Ang Lee constantly explores and surpasses herself, spanning family, comedy, martial arts, science fiction and other themes in his career as a director. "Hulk" is his first electrocutting special effects film, and the hugely successful "Youth School" "Fantastic Drifting" is a further attempt. The 120fps +3D "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" has mixed reviews. This time his technological innovation concept has gone further in "Gemini Killer".
Therefore, out of the anticipation of the plot, how much you love "Diet Men" and "Brokeback Mountain", and how disappointed you are with "Gemini Killer", but if you only want to watch blockbuster movies, the impression is great.
