Chapter 583: Thor Descends
"Iron Man 2" not only buries Thor in the easter egg, but also appears in the play, one of the Avengers veterans, Black Widow.
It's just that the audience doesn't think she is one of the veterans, they just think that she is charming and sexy, and she is a powerful character.
However, the big pit smashed by the meow hammer in the easter egg made the audience extremely excited, in addition to the Hulk, another superhero's hurry.
Who this superhero is, fans are looking forward to it.
"Haha, I just said that King Pingyang is very ambitious, how can two superheroes be enough, and sure enough, now there will be a third one. ”
"Where is now, I don't know how long it will take. ”
"I'm rubbing, it took half a year for the Hulk to appear after "Iron Man", and I haven't waited for a new hero for a year and a half, it's still Iron Man, so I have to wait another year or two for a third hero to appear. ”
"It's normal, this is a movie, and the filming and production process will take about two years. This is a science fiction movie, and there are many special effects. ”
"Yes, the production process of reality movies is relatively short, and it can be done within a year. ”
"The main thing is that Firefly City didn't know if "Iron Man" would make money before, so they didn't dare to make the second or next hero in advance. ”
"Now that the box office of "Iron Man 2" should be able to continue without scruples. has not yet been painted around the world, and the box office has exceeded 10 billion. ”
"You can continue to engage in more superheroes, I heard that a lot of capital is now sending money to Pingyang Wang, and Pingyang Wang doesn't know which money to receive. ”
After "Iron Man 2" was drawn, the box office was one billion more than the first part.
Of course, there is also more investment than in the first part.
All down, the benefits are about the same.
However, investors are more confident in the Marvel Universe.
Now throwing more money and not making more money is temporary, and cultivating fans is a very important plan.
Just when fans thought they would have to wait another year or two for a third superhero to appear, just four months later, "Thor" starring Bale was released.
Not only North American fans were surprised, but Daewoo fans were also dumbfounded.
The movie Thor is based on Norse mythology.
Under the premise of the rapid development of film visual effects technology and the lack of original scripts, it has become a phenomenon for live-action films to focus on comic books, cartoon animation, and myths and legends.
On the negative side, the huge investment in special effects technology and too many commercial considerations will affect the gold content of the film's story to a certain extent.
On the positive side, this situation also makes all imaginary films visually unbridled with imagination.
How exciting can it be when science fiction meets myth?
"Thor" is showing fans that it does not let the storyline give way to visual effects, and the plot is remarkable.
The highlight of this film is worthy of recognition, in addition to the highly imaginative mythological world scene, what makes people feel interesting is that it cleverly combines science fantasy and myths and legends, and achieves a clear and clean grasp of narrative skills and rhythm in both directions, plus a little emotional element embellishment, a standard but not ignorable Hollywood feast is hot.
For most Oriental viewers who don't know much about Western mythology, there will be no emotional entanglement in watching "Thor", and the entertainment elements in "Thor" can basically become a pleasant configuration.
Judging from the performance of the film, it can be said to be extremely imaginative and forward-looking.
It is said that the material world and the spiritual world of human beings are developing and constantly changing, but in this part of human myths and legends, whether in the West or the East, the scenes in myths and legends will always stay in the ancient human world when these myths and legends were born.
The Emperor of the East lived forever in the traditional Qionglou Yuyu, which never appeared in modern high-rise apartments, and the Greek god Zeus is still in the temple of the wind-leaking on Mount Olympia, and after so many years, he has not kept up with the times at all.
So in the movie "Thor", Thor and his companions are still holding cold weapons and wearing bulky armor, are humans progressing and the gods are standing still?
In contrast, the setting of the fairy world in "Thor" has changed qualitatively, the architecture of the Asgard country is extremely futuristic, the towering temple is like a human business CBD community, the straight rainbow bridge is completely integrated with the modern sea-crossing bridge, and the warehouse where the ice giant's energy is stored The interactive wall (the place where the destroyer appears) looks like a national treasury, and so on.
In this mythical world, it is no longer a fairy scene covered by clouds and fog, but a futuristic urban style with a metallic texture, which is very consistent with the sci-fi part of this film.
All of this is what makes this movie look different, and the fairy world in the movie is finally starting to evolve.
In the film, Thor, the god of thunder who has fallen into the mortal world, tells Jane, a female scientist played by Natalie Portman, that his superpowers were magic in ancient times, but are now called "science".
This dialogue is very dialectical and can be called the "theme idea" of this film.
Many modern scientific discoveries and inventions appeared in the form of myths and fantasies in ancient times, and many mechanical devices in modern society were also regarded as magic or even witchcraft in the early days of industrial civilization.
The most interesting thing about "Thor" is that it organically combines myth and science fiction, and the travel between Thor and others between the fairy world and the land of ice giants and the earth in the film is obviously inspired by the concept of "time travel", and the film also tries to make a logical connection with the "time tunnel" theory through the dialogue between the characters.
The image of the "Destroyer" from the fairy world is completely a steel giant with a combination of mechanical power and electronic devices with deformation colors, and its image and function have actually been separated from the world system of traditional mythology, and are more like a product of the human world.
"Thor" is not the kind of "hard sci-fi" movie with strict theory, but the modification of the background of the mythological world and the sci-fi of the characters' behavior make this movie both bizarre and realistic of a fantasy movie.
This is the most attractive thing about it.
Modern science was born in a brutal struggle with religious mythology, and the two seem incompatible, but with the strengthening of human capacity to understand the world, there are more and more areas in which some kind of connection can be made between the two.
"Thor" makes an interesting attempt in this regard. Perhaps, many years from now, the conjectures of contemporary humans about aliens will become another myth and legend.
The director's solid experience in stage play writing and directing makes the film "Thor" less extensive and pan-entertaining than many Hollywood films of the same genre, although it is still a standard business in essence.
In the part of narrating the story of the fairy world and the earth, the film adopts the form of cross-parallel narrative, which not only conforms to the theory of "parallel worlds" in the scientific concept, but also creates a visual wonder of the continuous transformation of two heterogeneous worlds.
The breath of life in the real world contrasts sharply with the metallic texture of the fairy world and the ghostly colors of the land of ice giants, and there is a sense of confusion between people, gods, ghosts, and the past, present, and future.
In the emotional part of the characters, the feud between the main god Odin, the god of thunder and the villain Loki is placed in a towering palace like watching a stage play, except that it brings together classical, modern and futuristic elements.
In the end, the self-destruction of the evil god Loki and the pairing of Thor and his mortal girlfriend have a feeling of dust returning to dust, where to come from, to meet each other, and to die and to die.
Science is still science fiction, mythology is still mythology, and although the world is still the same world as before, it evokes people's infinitely beautiful reverie, which is the greatest significance of this type of movie.
