Chapter 36: Interstellar?, a masterpiece (4/6)

Let's start with the conclusion: Nolan's biggest controversy is that his fans, a group of people who think they have seen a lot of movies, over-praise Nolan;

Then, another wave of people who felt unconvinced, all kinds of belittled Nolan.

To be fair, Nolan is undoubtedly a big commercial director with the label of author.

Such a big director is scarce in this era!

A work can not only ensure a strong personal style, but also be a blockbuster - at least it does not make the investor lose money, and the famous Hollywood directors can only be done by Quentin and David Fincher.

To put it bluntly, in this era of IP flooding, it is really rare to have a bunch of fans who can play their own originals.

Spielberg and Ridley Scott have been out of whack lately, the former is slightly better, the latter has lost "Robin Hood", "Pharaoh and the Gods" in a row, and even "The Body of Lies" blessed by Xiao Li Zi has lost - the global box office has not reached $100 million;

Cameron's cycle is too long, and the Mexican Three Heroes is a niche theme.

To be more exaggerated, in addition to Nolan, they can get hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, and later some original big productions, what you can see on the market are hero movies, as well as "Vegetarian Chicken", "Caribbean" series, and "Transformers" series.

It's not okay to eat popcorn every day!

To a certain extent, it is precisely because of the existence of these author-type directors that our movie-watching tastes will not be completely homogeneous.

This is his contribution to fans around the world!

Also, Nolan's science fiction movies are really good, and "Inception" and "Interstellar" are all important works in the history of science fiction films.

In fact, "Deadly Magic" also has a science fiction component to some extent...

As for Interstellar...

Take a look at the masterpiece, analyze it carefully, generate electricity for love, and family drama under the packaging of science fiction...

The core is Western: human beings cannot do it on their own, and there must be something higher than human beings to elevate or save human beings.

What is this higher thing?

Tell you to rely on God, this is a religious theme, such as stealing the fruit of wisdom, "Noah's Ark", "Exodus";

Don't tell you who to rely on, this is science fiction!

"Interstellar", the core is to be redeemed by love - the alien locked his father in a high-dimensional space and asked him to send a password to his daughter to save the world... And the salvation of this world requires only one formula.

How do you discuss this thing?

"Interstellar" is a science fiction film, not a documentary, it doesn't matter if you provoke and entertain yourself, and it would be a bit weak to spray "Interstellar" brainless with righteous indignation. As a qualified audience, you should know what the purpose of the movie is, when you should be serious, and when you should relax and follow the director's brains...'

So, that's how the high-ranking people arranged, that's how the movie was made, if you can't shoot anything?

If you can, you will believe in love and it will be finished, and love will be redeemed.

What if you don't love it?

If you don't love it, don't look at it, get out!

Let's put it this way, it is better to say that it is a crossing than a messenger of God.

Therefore, when we watch "Interstellar", what we can't avoid is the abrupt plot of the alien séance - I don't understand why this movie can score 9.2 points on Douban...

But foreigners don't think there's a problem with dealing with it – the continuation of God's ideas in cultural works.

But we don't believe in God!

(If I say that I am picky, I will always respond with one sentence: if criticism is not free, praise is meaningless!)

……

"Interstellar" is 169 minutes long, and the distributor Paramount felt the need to screen it first, if he hadn't played "Gravity" - "Gravity", it would be a shame...

The North American box office of "Gravity" is surprisingly good: the original IP and director are not well-known, but after its release, it actually dominated the single-day box office championship for 20 consecutive days!

Of course, the weekday single-day box office has now fallen below $1.5 million...

If you extrapolate according to normal domestic logic, it will almost stop at 200 million US dollars...

As a result, on the first weekend after the release of "Interstellar", "Gravity" raised another $9 million...

ranked third, "Super Marines" beat "Interstellar", the latter had a single-day box office of 19 million, and "Super Marines" had a single-day box office of 29 million...

In short, on November 9th, 29 days after its release, the North American box office of "Gravity" really broke 200 million US dollars, and of course it has fallen below 1 million on weekdays...

But the film will continue to be released until the end of the awards season — there are only 700 theaters left.

However, the box office of "Interstellar", in the first five days, the box office was only $49.66 million...

Damn, this is Nolan God!

I looked at the comments and wilted...

Chicago Business Daily: The film invested $100 million, and after watching it, I think it's only 10 million, stunts, and the scene is still stuck 20 years ago. Look at "Gravity", that's called big investment, it's called refinement!

"Huasheng Post": The foreshadowing in the first hour of the film is too long, and the high-tech equipment is slag. The loneliness in space, the feeling of emptiness is not at all. Nolan is not suitable for science fiction films, he should still make drama crime films that he is good at;

"Hollywood Film Review": The movie's depiction of the end is not realistic enough, and some of the actors' lines are inexplicable, such as the pilot specially takes a piece of paper to the actor to explain what a wormhole is, and the rhythm of the whole movie is not as transparent as Nolan's previous movies...

Domestic comments: It shows a very rigorous scientific spirit at the same time, but also gives the story and characters a very strong humanistic feeling.

No one gave a standing ovation after watching it, because they were all kneeling...

……

Lu Xiaoran has no intention of leading a war at all, in fact, when "Interstellar" was released, "Gravity" had been in theaters for 20 days, and the single-day box office fell below 15 million, with a cumulative box office of 2.26 billion - it is impossible to reach 2.5 billion, and the popularity has dropped too fast!

And a bunch of blockbusters intercepted by "Gravity" are competing to be released: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Age", "Moving Labyrinth", including Lao Du's "Single Man and Woman 2", and then "Penguins of Madagascar", "Fury", "Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams"...

Frankly speaking, there are so many viewers, and they have basically watched everything they should have watched once...

Therefore, when "Interstellar" was released, Lu Xiaoran, including Orange, was very peaceful.

The global box office of "Gravity" broke 760 million US dollars, locking in the top five of the year in advance!

This achievement is enough to make a fuss, and in one fell swoop, the total box office of the movies released by Orange this year has been pushed to 21 billion yuan worldwide, more than 3 billion US dollars, and there is a king bomber like "A Quiet Place" in North America...

("A Quiet Place" grossed $180 million in North America, cost 17 million, and was introduced to the mainland... )

When you've got enough chips, you don't really care about Interstellar...

And the big golden retriever said that Nolan has never won an Oscar, and "Interstellar" is not very popular with the judges...

Then he still cares about this dry hair...

The problem is that a bunch of Nolan fans scolded him as garbage - Lu Xiaoran only deserves to kneel and talk to Nolan about movies!

??

"Interstellar" is certainly a good movie, but isn't "Gravity"?

Then there is a very interesting question, and it was directly on the top of the hot search: If the director of "Interstellar" is Lu Xiaoran, would you still mythologize this movie like this?

This question is very interesting, Lu Xiaoran clicked on it and looked at it, and was directly laughed at, and the first comment was: "Don't talk about it, can Lu Xiaoran think of the deterioration of the earth's natural environment and the threat that human beings are facing the threat of not being able to survive?"

My day, what misconceptions do you have about my imagination?

After thinking about it, he replied to him directly: "I suggest you go and read some of Niang's science fiction texts, there is a category called Apocalyptic Texts..."

It's okay, it's 2014, and 404 hasn't affected the online literature circle...
