The quality of summer movies is worrying. Except for one " Catch a Baby " which has exploded in reputation and box office, the rest of the movies are not Wu Ershan's " Under the Stranger" "" or Chen Sicheng's " decrypted " did not meet the audience's expectations.
Compared with " All or Nothing ", " Disappeared ", " Octagonal Cage " and "Feng Shen" that were released in the summer season two years ago, this year's audience has also lived a life of eating glutinous rice.
As a comic book movie, "Under the Stranger" has its own dimensional wall that is difficult to break, and it is understandable that it has a bad reputation. However, the suspense-themed "Decryption" has gathered so many famous actors, and such a high-quality team is still there. After it went online, there were a lot of negative reviews, which is really unjustifiable.
Click on the Douban comment area of "Decryption", and you will find netizens unanimously complaining "The worst movie I have seen this year, Chen Sicheng, why do you pay me the 20 yuan you owe me?", "The most uncomfortable time in the cinema... even if "Tang Detective 3" has become vulgar, but it won't be as ugly as this one, which makes me unable to hold back my shit while playing on my mobile phone."
The screen full of negative reviews is feedback. "Decryption" is a movie whose content is not worthy of the configuration.
The content is stereotyped and the plot is empty. "Decryption" is disappointing.
The biggest problem with the movie "Decryption" is that the content is empty. It also tells the story of a genius. Look at Nolan's "Oppenheimer", which has plot and tension. It has a reflection of the big era and a more exciting sense of advancement.
But "Decryption" seems to be a work that showcases special effects. The film is indeed of good quality, and the switching between reality and dream, and even the various transitions are very aesthetic, but the gold rim of the shit basin cannot change the boring content.
Liu Haoran plays Rong Jinzhen, where is the genius? Apart from being able to dream, the presentation of professional skills is too superficial.
From the perspective of the historical background, the main plot of "Oppenheimer" is very powerful. The importance of the male protagonist's career in "Decryption" is only due to Lao Zheng's words, "You will save many people's lives." , of course life is important, but one line is really not impactful enough.
In the movie, Rong Jinzhen was engaged in secret work, so he left his adoptive father's house for many years without any news. After finally coming back, he still hesitated and couldn't explain anything to his adoptive father's daughter who grew up with him.
But to be honest, the audience with a God's perspective has no idea what the male protagonist is doing.
In addition to struggling between reality and dreams, the only thing that can impact the audience is the gorgeous post-production.
The most important thing is that it always makes people feel uncomfortable when a genius story is related to love. When the love line first came online, there was a hint of love, but in the subsequent emotional foreshadowing, it was particularly blunt.
The first date between Rong Jinzhen and Xiaomei was so awkward that the audience dug their toes into the ground, and their eyes shone with obvious traces of performance, as if they were acting in a drama, completely distorted.
To put it bluntly, the story of genius is not well told, and the love of genius is not attractive. Even the most important patriotism in "Declassified" is just a blunt slogan.
The paragraph where the adoptive father explains the meaning of the word "country" is more like the official terminology of politics class. The young actor's reaction was even more like he didn't know how to act hard.
Chen Daoming can't save it, the actor's portrayal is too disappointing
In the entire "Decryption" movie, only one person performed with a sense of reality. He is the only foreign starring John, and the character Heeas he played really has a very rich character. .
He is a teacher who is eager for talents, a scholar who is almost obsessed with mathematics and professional fields. He has studied purple and black crypts, and is a close friend of Rong Jinzhen who is both an enemy and a teacher.
Whether he is a teacher, a friend or an opponent, whether he is proud or down, John's acting skills are very attractive, including when he writes a wall of numerical symbols in the prison, and Heath's character is also more charming.
In contrast, Liu Haoran, who has made a big breakthrough in his image, really looks like a soy sauce actor. It can be seen that Liu Haoran has put a lot of effort into the role, but his breakthrough in image is his only advantage. Liu Haoran does not have the mystery of an actor. He broke his original self into pieces, but he still couldn't hide Liu Haoran's own label.
In addition to Liu Haoran, there are many actors in the play.
The actor who plays Xiaomei is extremely powerful in her acting. When she is in love with Rong Jinzhen, she embodies the shyness of a young girl with a sense of deliberate admiration. Her praise is like flattery, and her true expression of feelings feels like being taken away by an old lady. The hypocrisy of Zheng sent to get the job done.
Not only that, after Xiaomei and Rong Jinzhen got married, the portrayal of the actor also felt tight. She pretended to be mature as a married woman, and even acted to the extreme of emotional breakdown.
But as Zhang Songwen said, "acting, acting is accurate but not accurate." The acting that uses force everywhere seems to take care of every part, but it is not natural and real enough.
The actor who plays Xiaomei is obviously lacking in skills.
And Xiao Yang and Wang Baoqiang’s sense of drama when they appeared was purely due to casting.
These two actors have very good acting skills and grasp the details very well. Xiao Yang even chose to pick off his head directly in order to portray the madness of a chess madman. For a guest role that did not last for two scenes, Xiao Yang's sincerity is evident.
But to be honest, what will the audience think of the combination of Liu Haoran, Chen Sicheng, Xiao Yang, and Wang Baoqiang? The already tied lineup of " Chinatown Detective " appears in a biographical suspense film, and it's not a surprise.
The most unbearable thing is Chen Sicheng's narcissism. Let's just say what is the meaning of Chen Sicheng jumping out as a director at the end of this story? The audience is not interested in his performance at all, okay?
suggested that Chen Sicheng stick to behind-the-scenes work in the future and not suddenly jump out and surprise the audience.
Overall, the truly outstanding performance comes from the foreign actor John, and the actor who carries the quality of the performance is the powerful veteran actor Chen Daoming . In the play, he plays Lao Zheng, who is mysterious, calm and wise. He is the guide for Rong Jinzhen on the road to decryption, and he is also the director of the secret department.
Through Chen Daoming’s eyes, one can see the sense of story, the unfathomable depth, and the oppressive feeling of staring into the abyss.
But Lao Zheng played by Chen Daoming is not a key protagonist. Even if Chen Daoming plays well, he cannot save the various mistakes in the movie.
All in all, the movie "Decryption" can get 8 points for its special effects, but the story content and casting suitability are not enough to pass. The movie was a hit, but netizens received a flood of negative reviews, and the reasons for the negative reviews were also consistent.
I can only say that although Chen Sicheng has opened up the market for suspense comedies, in suspense biography movies, Chen Sicheng does not have enough skills and professionalism.
Finally, what are your thoughts on the various controversies caused by the movie "Decryption"? Evaluate or predict the box office performance of the movie.
