As this summer's release, in addition to " Catch a Baby ", which is the most shocking blockbuster, " decrypted " seems to be aiming for the box office championship from the beginning.
is really too confident.
While others were busy promoting their works, Chen Sicheng kept them in his hands and did not release any news for a long time.
Seeing the first wave of box office bombing begin, "Decryption" was belatedly released.
However, I came to the theater with high expectations. After sitting for a full two and a half hours, I was speechless and choked.
was screened for 5 days, with a box office of 50 million. The results seem to be pretty good.
However, when you click on the comment area, you can only say that the hero sees the same thing.
"The movie-watching experience was extremely poor. It was too long and felt like I was on pins and needles, and I even choked up a lot at the end." "It's left here to sew. My father is so heavy that he deserves to be Chen Sicheng." "The old problem has not changed, and the love line is inexplicable."
Some people even bluntly called the word "disaster".
It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, it costs a lot of money, and the viewing lasts two and a half hours. Why are the audience so excited?
This time, let’s objectively analyze three flaws to see where the bad reviews come from -
The story is weak, the characters are flat, and it cannot support the special effects
First of all, we have to admit that "Decryption" "The special effects are really good.
is especially proud of the several pictures in the promotion. The full mobilization of imagination and color has indeed created a certain visual impact.
Most of these special effects are also focused on "dreams".
I believe that even for viewers who have not yet watched the movie, as long as they have seen the materials released by the film studio, the focus of the promotion is the so-called "dream".
As a mathematical genius, the male protagonist is the protagonist of the dream.
There are a lot of dream scenes pouring into the whole film. The wild and imaginative scenes, coupled with the sound effects that almost shatter the eardrums, seem to be the salvation of domestic films.
is actually too superficial.
Because neither the story nor the characters give these shocking images a reasonable existence.
It’s okay to be wild, either the style of the entire film is wild, or the protagonist’s dreaming is the top priority.
However, the focus of "Decryption" is actually to decipher the code.
So, how does the male protagonist Rong Jinzhen decipher it?
Yes, it’s all about dreaming.
From the beginning to the end, I want to describe how the male protagonist is different from other people. He is a shocking genius and a proud man who is admired and protected by the big guys.
As a result, this guy relies on his mouth to output everything. When he encounters a problem, he goes to his dreams to find the answer.
The so-called mathematical genius suddenly changed into a "dream master".
The genius and uniqueness of the male protagonist are not depicted, let alone other characters.
Such a flat image cannot support the setting, and such grand special effects are even more confusing.
The emotional lines are superficial and confusing.
As the netizens in the comment area above said, the emotional lines in "Decrypted" are really "Chen Sicheng".
Although the male protagonist is ugly, he is a genius and must be liked by at least two women.
First of all, it is Rong Jinzhen’s sister.
Her sister was pampered since she was a child, came from a very good family, and also went to the highest university.
In the movie, there is almost no scene showing the sister's special love for Rong Jinzhen.
At least there is no opportunity for attitude change.
However, just a few years after Rong Jinzhen left, his sister actually asked someone else to say "I miss you, I love you" for him.
On the other hand, the male protagonist immediately forgot about it after listening to it.
This emotional line is of no use except to express women’s admiration for him. My sister is just a tool.
Rong Jinzhen’s wife is even more of a tool.
There is still no scene that shows his wife or his own personality traits. When he was kissed at the beginning, he said it to the leader without being shy at that time.
Then at night, they went directly to the other party’s house and had sex.
Both of them are full of exaggerated words. Is it so easy for men and women in Bureau 701 to have a relationship? We are not afraid of spies using honey traps.
fell in love with nothing, and the male protagonist even imagined in his mind the image of a blonde beauty and many women wearing exactly the same clothes chasing him.
While watching the movie, the audience around me asked "What the hell?" Chen Sicheng, is this the male protagonist or you?
Did not give good actors room to play
There is no doubt that the lineup of "Decryption" is also one of the highlights of the entire movie.
Many people think that Liu Haoran 's acting is too superficial. In my opinion, the problem does not lie with him.
Indeed, when Liu Haoran interprets the "unusual" autistic characteristics of a genius, he is always relatively separated from other performances, but in such a broad and comprehensive film, they become less important.
On the contrary, the scenes of Chen Daoming , Daniel Wu and Zhu Zhu made me feel a little disappointed.
It’s not their acting skills, but the director’s scheduling of their shots and the allocation of scenes.
Have you ever seen a spy movie in which our soldiers wear sunglasses when going on missions at night?
This is how Chen Daoming appeared. In fact, he has more shots than others, but there are no shots that can express Chen Daoming's acting skills.
As long as he appears, he is having a dialogue, talking to this person and that person.
Regarding Chen Daoming’s “reasonable use”, I really only admire director Zhang Yimou.
Daniel Wu is indeed still so handsome, and the subwoofer is really charming when he opens it.
The problem is that he played the role of the principal, and he did not play the role of a university principal during the war.
This character could have led the students to protest heroically and strengthen their faith in the raging war, but in the end, because of a certain decade, there was not even a scene.
can pass the review, which is too outrageous.
and Zhu Zhu, with just a shot of turning a wine glass, just two sentences in English can directly control me in the theater.
As a result, this girl really only has a few shots.
There are several actors who are so good, but they are all useless. They use their high profile for special effects, and their actors have become tool men. It has to be you Chen Sicheng.
Conclusion
Of course, I don’t think "Decryption" is a bad movie, but compared to the various propaganda from the film studio in the early stage, I can only say that it is seriously inconsistent with the reality.
The reason why "Oppenheimer" and " Inception " can become stunning works in two genres is because the directors of these two works will not show off their skills for the sake of showing off their skills and add chaos to them. other elements.
There is no doubt that "Decryption" is indeed a bolder attempt among domestic films.
In fact, by the end, most viewers probably just made a few complaints. With such a large scale and the indeed online special effects, it no longer matters whether the story is just a piece of cake.
However, everyone really couldn’t sit still when they saw the easter egg.
Waiting and waiting, it is a film that is similar to a biography. The last Easter egg is a shot of the director smiling confidently, and with the crooked words, it is really "unprecedented and unprecedented".
