's " alone on the moon " this film has rushed to the top search list of Weibo and other major media sites. I have high hopes for all kinds of compliments and non-irritating criticisms of this film on the Internet. It is a kind of heartfelt encouragement to boost confidence in China's dismal film market this year. If a film review website and some film critics can also give a little bit of this kindness to Mozart in Outer Space, that would be great!
Cinema
Then let me have a serious chat with readers about this film. The story of the
movie is set in the future, when an asteroid is about to hit the earth; in order to prevent the disaster, human beings execute a self-rescue plan called "Lunar Shield". The specific method is to deploy a base on the moon, build a super nuclear bomb , and launch it with low gravity to strike an asteroid, thereby changing its orbit. And use the moon's own gravity to capture the debris generated by the explosion. In this way, the moon is like a shield in front of the earth, and the whole plan is perfect. However, people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. The scattered meteorite fragments hit the moon ahead of time. The chairman of the base, Ma Lanxing, ordered all the staff to evacuate urgently. Unexpectedly, the maintenance man Duguyue, who has always had a low sense of presence, missed the notification due to an accident, and was landed on the moon alone. The good news: he survived the subsequent meteor impact. But the bad news is that the moon plan failed, and the earth was still not spared. Seeing this disaster happen, Dugu Yue realizes that he has become the last human being in the universe.
So, having lost the meaning of survival, he simply started a broken life on the moon. But what he didn't expect was that he was not the only one at the moon base, but also a grumpy King Kong kangaroo. What is even more unexpected is that in fact, human beings on earth are not extinct. Every move of it and the kangaroo has been received and seen by people on the ground, and it has become a global live broadcast. He also became an idol by accident. "Lonely Walking on the Moon" is adapted from the comic of the same name created by the well-known Korean cartoonist Zhao Shi. The absurdity and strong dramatic conflict makes "A Lonely Moon" different. After five years from preparation to completion, on the basis of retaining the framework of the original work, the film has been cut and modified for the film and plot to make it more in line with the taste of happy twist . Of course, this is also their first attempt at sci-fi + comedy, and it is also the second time for their two facade-level actors, Shen Teng and Mariz, to collaborate on a feature film after seven years in " Charlotte Troubles ".
In the face of the unsatisfactory current situation of the film market this year, it has undoubtedly earned the audience's expectations. So how is the video quality? Let's talk about the advantages first, 1. Special effects and Zhijing: If you can sum it up in one sentence, the most intuitive advantage of this film is that the special effects are full. The good news is that the film is not simplified or even cheap because it is positioned above comedy. On the contrary, the special effects and the costume makeup are unambiguous so far, which is completely worthy of the word science fiction. Some friends may not know that the most mature film industrialization in China in terms of visual effects is " Wandering Earth " and " Assassination of the Novelist ".
In addition to submitting the answer sheet of the domestic first-class space scene, this "Moon alone" also amazingly presents a vivid and lifelike image of a large European kangaroo. The combination of motion capture and cg can be said to be the most complete animal image in China at present. It is worth mentioning that the actor who plays King Kong is happy twist actor Hao Han. In order to play this role well, he went to the zoo a year and a half in advance to learn to imitate the movements of kangaroos; he also underwent intensive training four months in advance before he was able to show detailed and realistic body movements. This is very important, because in fact it was Kangaroo who completed almost the only rivalry with Shen Teng in the whole film.
In order to simulate the real moon scene, the crew not only laid 200 tons of sand and gravel in the 6,000-square-meter studio, but also built a lunar base in complete reality. The construction and arrangement of its interior rooms are redesigned. However, under the trade-off, the scene of the earth part is obviously different.Good enough, but also innocuous. Therefore, the above is the most direct to the audience, if you do it carefully, it will naturally add points. It is also worth mentioning that the lighting of the entire moon scene is good, and the material restrictions are not expanded.
Second, The Road to Survival This is one of the scenes in the film. I named it "The Road to Survival", which tells the story of Duguyue's arduous journey of finding a new way to complete the impossible task and circling the moon to retrieve the nuclear bomb. It is different from Happy Twist's previous works and other scenes in this film. In terms of plot presentation, this section is actually a public welfare film that has been de-sketched, and it is also a scene that combines science fiction, adventure, comedy and other elements in the best place. From the perspective of the subject and object of the moon and the earth, he described in detail the planning experience of the protagonist group, Duguyue and King Kong hands. Behavioral logic and most importantly character relationships and growth. The right suspense, the creation of a suitable burden, and the alternate expression of design and crisis can arouse the audience's emotions well, and the rhythm is accurately controlled.
is especially laudable for the analogy that chasing the sun is the same as chasing hope, even when the sun is gone and hope is lost. Don't give up, don't give up, work together to overcome all difficulties, this can easily become the positive energy of loss. Don't use lines, use stories, and use audio-visual to convey to the audience, this is the correct way. At the same time, it also left a highlight moment for the film, to be precise, the only highlight moment, which is really thanks to this part.
3. Photography and soundtrack first-class visual effects The film is also relatively outstanding in photography and soundtrack. For example, the scene where the moon was attacked by meteorite fragments in the opening scene, such as the above-mentioned Survival scene, split mirror , mirror movement are quite good, if there is no accident, they should be nominated. In addition, in the soundtrack, the use of several non-original soundtracks is just right, which is refreshing. For example, when the water in the Yellow River dries up after the opening, it subtly shows the mood of the protagonist, and it is quite joyful.
is good, after talking about the advantages, let's dismantle it seriously. Disadvantage 1, the laugh is awkward; the feeling of being funny or not is subjective, which is good. Judging from the scene I watched alone, it was mostly children and female audience members laughing around, but very few male audience members. Since it is subjective, some people think it's funny, some people don't think it's funny. Then why is it listed as a disadvantage? It's because there are highs and lows in the way comedy is presented.
For example, at the beginning of the bridge, everyone was notified to evacuate quickly, but Guole was intoxicated with the fantasy of confessing to Malanxing, and a shot was shown to him from the back. . Just when the audience thought that Duguyue finally discovered the problem, when he turned around, his eyes were closed, his expression was happy, and he was still in narcissism. Reversing and adding contrast, the sense of comedy appears immediately, this is advanced processing. And the director played by Li Chengru injected into appeared solemn and serious, but fell down before finishing a sentence. And Shen Teng, seriously, are you stumped? Then it really fell. This kind of baggage design that looks handsome in the first second and slaps the face in the second is really not advanced enough, and it is even embarrassing to use too much. It is a pity that there are very few joke designers in the whole film.
, for example, "The Wandering Earth", reminds me of a movie "Slaying the Wolf" with the missing actor. Second, the sun can't go down because of "Charlotte Trouble". Well, the above is not embarrassment, but disgust. If you can find these funny, I can only say that just like comedy performance, there are high and low aesthetics.
Second, the tone is split. If we take comedy and evidence as the tone of the film, there is a serious sense of split in this film. The front is a funny, exaggerated and ridiculous comedy. In order to make the audience laugh, the director did everything he could to the actors at that time. And this second half of the painting style suddenly became evidence of survival to self-sacrifice. The outbursts of laughter also gradually converged, but they could not be completely eliminated. Instead, they became out of place in terms of atmosphere. It is possible that the core of the comedy believed in is the creed of tragedy . The director deliberately leads the evidence to the tragedy at the end, just to copy Hello, the success of Li Huanying makes you laugh with tears, but are you really moved? Li Huanying, at least her emotions are sincere, andWhat about this one? I will add to this later. Maybe some netizens will say that the same is true at the end of the original manga.
But please note that from the comedy presentation of the previous paragraphs of the film to the design of the final plot, there is actually enough room for a large group. Under unification, there is absolutely no need to deliberately create regrets. To put it simply, the final sacrifice is not necessary. The director and screenwriter can make the audience laugh and leave the scene easily after watching it, but they do not. The key to deliberately provocative has not been deleted. Note that my argument is not against comedy sensationalism, or that comedy can't be interspersed with drama genres. Comedy can be combined with sci-fi, but absurd and funny comedy and evidence of survival and sacrifice in apocalyptic disasters are emotionally hedged. Unless the director has a very strong control, it is recommended to focus on one.
3. Character emotions To talk about this, we must first talk about the characters Duguyue and Malanxing. From our previous works, we can see that Shen Teng is very suitable for that kind of little person who has no ability but is full of confidence and prosperity and a little greasy. And the little characters are really the focus of comedy roles. Although the film also repeatedly emphasizes through the background and lines that Dugule is a small person in the middle layer, but as an engineer and maintenance engineer, it is one of a thousand in a million to be able to join this plan, and he shoulders the heavy responsibility of saving mankind. This is no longer the case. Shen Teng was the kind of little guy who used to show ease. In other words, it actually greatly limited his comedy play. But what about the evidence? Really dedicated, but there is still a long way to go. Speaking of Malan Xing, it can be seen that Mary wants to make a breakthrough in her role. This time, he plays the conductor of the band plan, a powerful female figure with outstanding ability and calm concept. It's all because Mary also adheres to this interpretation, so she has restrained many comedy performances.
For example, drink boiled water until your throat becomes hoarse, the point of laughter here is more appropriate. the whole show. If it has been like this all the time, there is no problem, but the strange thing is that the director stunned to add the play of the trivia dubbing of Huang Cailun , and the sense of comedy did not see the characters coming out. In order to show Ma Lanxing's rational strength, he always faces Duguyue's sacrifice with the image of the drama as the top priority. At the climax of the whole film, the atmosphere is set off to that extent, but the emotional expression is extremely restrained. So that's what I'm going to say. The director has a big problem dealing with the emotions of these two important characters. From the very beginning of the film, there is an emotional line running through it. Duguyue Malanxing is not a simple love, but its spiritual and emotional sustenance. Is that the top priority?
Let's see how the director handles it. Because the emotion of secret love is almost one-way, and because of the difference between the earth and the moon, the two did not have any rivalry at the end. After a long observation across the screen, Ma Lanxing would not give up on this? Duguyue didn't know about it at first, she didn't feel like it, and even finally fell in love. How does this emotional shift manifest itself? Can you be lazy with an MV-style parallel editing? To put it bluntly, the film lacks sufficient emotional relationship descriptions for the two from beginning to end, and Ma Lanxing actually represents the audience's perspective to a certain extent. This is why the final sacrifice and farewell are very emotional, but they cannot really touch the audience.
You can also leave a message in the comment area or barrage to say that you have moved during this time?
ok, do you think the director did not handle the emotional relationship well only the hero and heroine? In fact, Duguyue, like King Kong Rat, didn't handle Gangzi's name, but he was Ma Lanxing. As for Duguyue's tool person who perfects her character and promotes the plot, King Kong Rat is also a tool to take on jokes and finally pull a cart to save him. Ren Duguyue is losing hope of life, how can he regain his faith because of this kangaroo who broke into his life, is it just because he accidentally touched a bare wire? One person and one technique, the friendship between them that transcends the race is actually worth digging into, and it will be the shining point of the whole film, but it is a pity that the time is very long.
Finally, about the group and other supporting roles, including Moringa Yangzi and the long-term female role's dance scene, these time relationships will not be mentioned. 4. Logical Rationality Really, it’s good that the current movies can clarify the logic and be self-consistent, especially for the sci-fi genre, shouldn’t you be more rigorous? In fact, the sci-fi setting of this film is still soft and hard, so how can there be more than one anti-physics loophole? such as the pageLow gravity, when you reach the base, it becomes normal gravity? Unless humans use the centrifugal force simulation, if they can create gravity, they will be able to conquer the universe. Another example is the volcanic ash , which is driven by the global disaster of the meteorite impact, and obscures the sun. How can the sky be clear? Can the light in the flashlight shine through? There is also the posture of using the jetpack to push a multi-ton nuclear bomb. There is so handsome, the last time I saw it was Superman. And the most ridiculous one-way communication is understandable. It is too far-fetched to be able to send back a high-definition video signal but not an audio signal.
Well, don't be serious, just acquiesce. Comes without ads. How did you put Tang Tansan into an advertisement last year? It's harder this time? What kind of forks and forks and forks and forks will be pushed to you within a minute of the opening. There are even talk show actors of everyone who are indiscriminately acting as endorsements for the show. From the production point of view, these are barely understandable, but what about the bottom line as a director? Take responsibility for your own work. Do not add all the ads. In the first ten minutes of a movie that's so important, let alone so blunt. Why are rockets and moons printed with forks and forks? Alien? By the way, a takeaway has not found business opportunities, so it is better to make good use of such a good kangaroo. Frankly speaking, the market environment is such that the audience is not opposed to the advertising road, but it is better to look good. So how did the film critics and the self-media criticize Tang Tan San in the first place? It's okay to be dumb now, be sure to treat them equally.
briefly summed up that it was a success to travel alone on the moon to break 1 billion at the box office in three days, thanks to the market demand of the genre, the appeal of the actors and the attention to technical performance.
However, it is out of touch with the tone of the film at the artistic level, and the two major problems of insufficient character and emotional description are that the gold content is greatly reduced. Frankly speaking, on the one hand, the relatively sluggish film market this year needs such films to boost confidence, but on the other hand, the tried-and-tested theme of model paintings or the relatively single type of comedy is not conducive to the development of our domestic films in the long run. I have always believed that a good movie is both artistic and commercial, and can realize the value of both at the same time. I also sincerely hope that our domestic movies can contend with each other and let a hundred flowers bloom. it is good. Finally, the coffee score is given. In total, referring to the movie "Walking on the Moon", the director scored 5.9 points, the script scored 5.5 points, the characters scored 5.9 points, the audio-visual score was 8 points, and the art score was 8 points. The final comprehensive score is 6.3 points, and the subjective recommendation degree is 65%.
