Last month, the new film "Gemini Killer" directed by Ang Lee was first released in North America and then in mainland China, but both box office and word of mouth are not optimistic.
"Gemini Killer" is a science fiction film that Ang Lee has prepared for a long time, starring Will Smith. According to Ang Lee’s introduction, this film was originally conceived in 1997. It was a film that was finally completed this year after numerous well-known directors’ speculation and hard work.
may be that Ang Lee was too confident. He decided to shoot this movie at a super high frame rate of 120 frames per second. The original intention must be to create extraordinary special effects miracles, just like "The Hobbit".
But although the technology is strong enough, the audience does not buy it.
personally thinks that there are several reasons:
is the first, the overall plot is not new, the plot settings and jumps make the audience feel as if they have watched it. It's like an old phone has been copied a bit, with an Apple shell, but the internal function is still the function of an old phone.
In fact, this also confirms Li Ang's introduction. The script was created in 1997. The overall plot also seems to reflect the thinking of the people of that era, the one-sided pursuit of the concept of nothingness, the frequent change of plot and scene, the audience even thinks that the characters will teleport.
Maybe this script would cause a sensation if it were filmed and released in 1997, but it is now 9102.
Second, Ang Lee's one-sided pursuit of high frame rates, on the contrary, hurt this step of the movie. The high frame rate requires a certain situation or environment to bring out the power of this technology. Obviously, "Gemini Killer" has not been able to adapt to the situation.
Third, the later technology has not reached the required height. In the
movie, the light and shadow directions in the first drama are not in the right position. Shadows on the ground have serious continuity problems.
Fourth: There is a problem with the role setting.
has two prominent roles, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Benedict Wang. These two roles can even be removed and the audience will not find it. They didn't promote the development of the story at all, and they felt that these two characters were forced in.
