I watched a lot of movies and TV series in the past six months, and most of them have been recorded, so I will briefly share the written text here. Let’s start with theater movies in reverse order.

fast and furious 10

This series has lost its original meaning for a long time, and even if you don’t take your brains to watch it, it will embarrass the sensational part of the play. In the first 10 minutes, repeating the content of the fifth part to eat books has already confused me. At the end of the main drama, even the big scenes are not particularly amazing. After reading 10, I re-read 1245 and found that without the shackles of family, the plot could develop in any direction. Parts 5 and 7 are the pinnacle of the use of the concept of family. Afterwards, almost all of them are mechanical repetitions, without sincerity, and it is the end of the battle for shooting for the sake of filming. Any villain who was still killing your family in the previous movie, this movie can be with your family.

Put an article written in the past: “Quick 8”: How much passion is left in the fuel tank? Written after the release of Fast and Furious 8. Originally, there were a lot of complaints I wanted to say, but it turned out that I had already complained in the article.

guardians of the galaxy 3

The ending of Silver Guardian is one of the few endings that Marvel has handled very well. It is much better than Iron Man 3, Avengers 4, and Thor 4. This is also the last movie directed by Director Roll in Marvel, and he has done his job very well, which can be called the best in the fourth/fifth phase of the MCU so far. Before watching this movie, you need to have watched Silver Guardian 1/2. It is best to watch Avengers 3/4 and Silver Guardian Christmas special.

The movie is very Silver Guard style, music, sense of humor, larger scale and deeper character arc than the previous two (Rocket Raccoon, Star Lord, Nebula, Mantis, Destroyer, Groot), are the advantages of this work . But the Rocket Raccoon memory line is so touching, I especially like this set.

The disadvantage is that the background music is too frequent, some special effects seem cheap, and some deliberately funny lines are easy to make people play. The biggest shortcoming is the portrayal of the villain. The motivation and behavior are a bit confusing. It is obviously adapted for the story of Rocket Raccoon, but this adaptation is not particularly successful, but it is also a pass. The adaptation of Adam Warlock is also a bit strange. If the members of the next generation of Silver Guardians are such fools, then I really can’t stand it.

Regarding the Guardians of the Galaxy, a previous article mentioned it a little bit, here is a quote:

In Guardians of the Galaxy, raccoons are the most miserable. In the middle of the movie, Silver Guard and his party met Thor, and the raccoon wanted to be the captain of the confidant, and went to talk to Sol. When he learned that all the relatives and friends around the latter had died unexpectedly, he said, “At least I still have someone to lose.” Now it seems that the ending is extremely ironic. Guardians of the Galaxy belongs to the second stage of Marvel movies. The film environment suddenly came to the universe, which is incompatible with the style of the previous Marvel movies, and has no intersection with the entire Avengers. At first I didn’t like this series very much, because the style was too popcorn. From Star Lord to Raccoon to Groot to Drax, they all focused on joyful style. Both Silver Guardians are telling stories while laughing and playing, and there is a joke every ten minutes. Such a density makes it hard for me to classify this series as a comedy movie. But when it comes to “Infinity War”, all the funny memes turned into tragedy.

  1. In order to protect his fragile and sensitive heart, the raccoon swears at all those who open their hearts to him. Only Star-Lord’s adoptive father Yondu can understand him. Yondu says they are of the same kind, and the raccoon’s reaction acquiesces to that statement;
  2. Drax was slaughtered by Thanos and his men, born with only one purpose to kill Thanos. Although his EQ is negative, he is always reliable at critical moments, with a gentle heart in his full muscles;
  3. The relationship between Gamora and Thanos has always been ambiguous before “Infinity War” was released, and this time he finally told his life experience completely. Similar to the relationship between Gamora and Nebula, Gamora and Nebula are like sisters, but they have been fighting since childhood. Nebula lost all the battles with her sister so that the whole body has updated parts. In “Silver Guardian 2”, it finally Make peace with your sister;
  4. Gamora is the adopted daughter of Thanos. The former learned all the skills of survival and fighting, but at the cost of losing all his family members. In “Infinity War”, Gamora had the opportunity to “kill” Thanos. The sadness and sadness in his heart could not be concealed. , that is, Gamora. At this time, Gamora is in a complicated mood. On the one hand, he feels the love of Thanos, but on the other hand, he cannot let Thanos succeed, and if he fails to seek death, he is pushed off the cliff by Thanos;
  5. Groot is the most obscure of the Guardians, ‘Cause all he can say is I’m Groot He sacrifices himself without hesitation when the team is in trouble, and is also the most fan-absorbing character. At the end of the movie, he will also disappear. Before he died, he said the last sentence I’m Groot to the raccoon. According to the director, this sentence means “Dad”…

In the matter of sensationalism, Marvel has done a perfect job. As can be seen from the plot above, Marvel is laughing and telling stories, and behind each character is the same tragedy. In the other main characters, the approach is even more penetrating.

The tragic life experience of the members of the Silver Guardian is relieved in this one, and there is no better ending than this. In addition, at the end of the movie, Groot said I love you guys, which means that we, as the audience, finally understood Groot T_T

Wandering Earth 2

It surpasses the first film in an all-round way, and the revolutionary romanticism of the unity of the people of the world is fully displayed, which is what science fiction movies should be like. I have read a lot of analysis of this movie, such as some answers on Zhihu ( 1 , 2 ), the analysis of the movie’s view of the people’s history and the view of the hero’s history, the analysis of the promotion of the industrialization of the film industry, and of course B Detailed analysis in the update of Zhan Laotan… Wait, there are too many.

Thousands of words can be combined into one sentence: Big Liu is awesome!

Non-Theatrical Movies

John Wick 4 9.5/10

The end of John Wick (it doesn’t seem to be the case now, JW5 is in preparation), it takes longer than the first three, and kills more people than the first three. The photography is still picturesque, and you can take screenshots of many scenes as wallpapers. In terms of action design, gun skills are much less, because almost every enemy wears a bulletproof suit, which is a pity. Several battle scenes in the story are still impressive. The battle in Paris in the later part of the movie is the most exciting battle scene I have ever seen, and I have watched it many times.

Keanu is getting old, whether it is in reality (59 years old) or in the movie (the first one has only been a few months since the plot, he has suffered countless injuries, lost half of his finger, was shot more than a dozen times, was shot The car crashed more than a dozen times, and fell from a height several times), this role has been difficult to support such a high-density battle. The biggest highlight is the addition of the role of Master Ye, who added a lot of freshness to the already somewhat tired plot. The comparison between Donnie Yen (and Scott Adkins) and Keanu can also be seen that the gap between action actors who were born in a major and those who have become monks is difficult to bridge.

But I can still give it 9.5 points, because I just like such pure action movies. Looking back, the first and second parts are still the best, with a complete storyline, Wick’s action is sharp, and there are gun fights from beginning to end, which is well balanced with the number of fights.

Hideout 8.5/10

The combination of Denzel Washington + Ryan Reynolds, Denzel is as stable as ever, and he has installed a whole movie that is pleasing to the eye. There are some scenes where you can vaguely see the shadow of the vindicator (actually the vindicater is later than this one). Jianjian was able to suppress the role, and the play with Denzel did not make anyone out of the play, and the experience was very good. The plot is corny, but mature acting, action (in a Bourne style), editing (in a Bourne fast-cut style), cinematography, and pacing make for a smooth narrative.

Chase 7.5/10

The heroine is the heroine of the Divergent. She looks more mature and has good acting skills, but she can’t support the role in the film. The cinematography is picturesque and several scenes reminded me of Sheridan’s frontier trilogy style and director Villeneuve’s cinematography style. The details of the plot are very good, but the overall is not particularly good.

Creed 3 6/10

Without Stallone, it seems that there is no soul, and the beauty of form does not cover up the lack of core. The look and feel is not bad, the literary drama has strong emotions, but unfortunately some parts are too forced. The shooting method of the final battle is very characteristic.

Danny the Wolfdog 8/10

In the 2005 Hollywood action movie, Jet Li’s role setting is quite out of the ordinary, and the action director is directed by Yuan Heping, but the final effect is not particularly good. It is relatively rare for Jet Li to highlight an acting skill in the film, and he portrays the character very well. The plot is very old-fashioned, you can guess the ending after reading the beginning, but it won’t be too dramatic. Morgan Freeman is as steady as ever. It was later discovered that this movie was not released in China because it involved insulting China, but I didn’t feel this way at all when watching the movie.

Kill Fushun 5/10

South Korea’s low-profile version of John Wick, the plot can’t stand up to scrutiny at all, and the action design is qualified, but the actors’ execution is quite poor, and the sense of powerlessness and tricks is obvious. It can be seen that many parts are paying homage to and learning from the John Wick series, such as killer company, communication and homage between killers, corpse scavenger, etc. Unfortunately, I didn’t learn the essence and only learned the surface. But the acting of the main cast is pretty good.

There are many other non-theatrical movies, and I won’t write about those that don’t have much record significance.

TV drama

Write in reverse order after watching and watching TV series, and the bold ones are recommended to watch:

Hannah (Season 1), FUBAR (Abandoned in Two Episodes), Love and Death (Episode III), Bastion (Abandoned in Three Episodes), Orphan Black (Season 3), The Last Survivor , Night Agent, Three-Body Tencent Drama , Kings of Tulsa, Cyclonus , Yellowstone (Season 5), Coming Home Daughter

After sorting it out, I realized that I could watch so many TV series in half a year… It turned out that I replaced the time of reading books with watching movies and TV series.
