Chapter 368: Great! (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Where are you from?"

The immature children's voices resounded in 3,845 North American theaters, and the lively and leisurely soundtrack perfectly blended with the children's laughter and laughter. The faint melancholy ending credits brought the children's laughter to an abrupt end, and a single scene on the big screen was typed in black and white: "DIRECTED-BY: YOUNG-ANG." WITH A SUDDEN BURST OF THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE, THE SCREEN THEN APPEARED: "RITTEN-BY:YOUNG-ANG & JOSS-HEDON." ”

The director's compilation was followed by a complete cast scrolling upwards, the legendary Joss Whedon composed, Wang Yang wrote the lyrics, Michael Pitt played, and Robert Downey Jr.'s theme song "Serenity" appeared, Downey's emotional voice accompanied by a pleasant tune was also beautiful, but the audience's applause almost overshadowed the song, and everyone applauded vigorously and cheered in admiration: "Amazing!!", "This is the best movie of the year!", "Praise you! Captain Whirlwind!!...... All the fans and viewers who were looking forward to it got what they wanted! and what they didn't want so much. The moment she saw Ellie's little girl's pure smile, countless viewers' eyes were warm, and Evelyn choked out even more, finally knowing what Wonder Young meant by "a little sadness", Little Girl Chloe, Walsh, Whirlwind...... This is already lonely and depressing!

“FUCK。 Natalie's heart was churning, but she had to be so beautiful that she could be photocopied as a frame! Isn't it great to bring cowboys into the oriental mood? Isn't it amazing to be handsome? A good whirlwind captain just died! When she thought about it, she felt depressed, she wiped her slightly moist eyes, this role is so MAN and so eye-catching! That guy doesn't want to do all the work of an actor, right? She scolded softly: "FUCK." However, this movie seems simple but very profound, and some places are still incomprehensible, such as which Tang poem he said?

When he left home, he returned to his hometown, and his hometown accent did not change, and his sideburns declined. When the children don't know each other, they smile and ask where the guests are from. As a student of the Department of Sinology who loves ancient Chinese poetry, Gegil, who was thinking about it, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, didn't he? He immediately applauded and screamed excitedly: "Oh my God! This is amazing!" Other audiences who have a desire to be interested and have studied Tang poetry have also emerged one after another, and this poem has become a classic picture of film history in this way!

"Bang Bang!" The applause in the screening room has lasted for a minute, and the audience, whether they know each other or not, loudly complimenting each other and talking about the content of the movie just now, this is not the case, only in the theater of classic movies. George Lucas in the audience was also applauding, this is indeed a great sci-fi masterpiece, exciting and meaningful, thinking of the various scoldings encountered in the "Star Wars Prequel" series, he suddenly had a little retreat, maybe it's time to retire and go back to USC to teach...... Everything is too shocking! From the beginning to the end, especially the battle of Xinshanxi is incomparable! In the IMAX giant screen hall, Robert Zemeckis applauded and praised silently, he did a great job, Young! He even had the idea of "this is an IMAX movie"! As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the unforgettable classic scenes of the film just now, not to mention the beautiful scenery shots, the Tranquility pounced on the Covenant ship group with the marauders, the Tranquility shuttled through the chaos of war like a leaf in the wind, the independent firefly swarm appeared, and the Whirlwind landed on the runway... … Even the soundtrack tune of the time can be hummed.

Some big-budget movie scenes do feel grand and beautiful when watching, but they have forgotten it before they leave the cinema, while others will remember it for a long time, and they can recall it from time to time, and every time they think about it, they will feel something, and they will reminisce about the shock and emotion of the time.

Because those scenes are scenes infused with emotion, rather than simple special effects accumulation and vision magnification, "Firefly" undoubtedly made a perfect example, emotion, picture, and soundtrack are integrated, there is blood and sadness, until the film enters the final scene of the credits. This makes the film very artistic, but also very commercially entertaining and visually enjoyable.

"Bang Bang!" In the noisy AMC-Cityalk Cinema, Claire applauded wildly with everyone with a smile on her face, and the tears in her eyes were not only moved by "Firefly", but also proud of the magic of her idol, and he gave those bastards a fatal punch tonight! This is cowboy + oriental + sci-fi!

The super-spacious screening room was overwhelmed with applause, and the cast and crew of "Firefly" in the front row were still playing on the giant screen on the 8th floor, and the crew members of "Firefly" in the front row were very happy and contented, and hugged each other in celebration, receiving praise and praise from everyone.

"Thank you, thank you!" Wang Yang kept thanking his colleagues, audience, and friends, his heart was beating violently, and these applause and cheers made him a little overwhelmed with joy, not the polite applause at the premiere, right? They really like it, right? As he walked around, he laughed and slapped Heath Ledger again: "Thank you! This is really not a blue glove, thank you......" Heath Ledger also laughed all over his face: "Me too, thank you!" Robert Downey Jr. smiled and walked with his hands open: "Hey director! I found that the most handsome person in the whole film is you!wow!"...... Jessica stroked her stomach and continued to applaud with both hands, watching all this, looking at his bright smile, and her own performance that should be considered wonderful, she was so happy that she exhaled even the company commander, "Firefly" will definitely be a big success!

The applause in the screening rooms across North America rang out for a long time, one minute, two minutes, three minutes, and in some places, it didn't stop completely until the end credits were all rolled, and then there was even more excitement: "Wow, unbelievable!", "I can't wait to collect DVDs!" The movie has just ended, and the aftertastes of fans and audiences have just begun! Although he made a cameo appearance in the finale of "Firefly" but did not fight, Jaden Smith kept waving his fists and legs: "I want to learn kung fu, ahhhh It was so striking that Will Smithon was recognized by the audience around him, "Oh, Smith!"

"What's Wonder Young's idea?Is the last place where the Tranquility goes is Tranquility Valley?", "Is Captain Whirlwind dead?" The audience surrounded Smith and his son, but instead of asking for autographs, they asked questions about "Firefly", "Who is the best in it?, Blue Glove?", "Will Smith, can you ask Amazing Young, what are his plans for a third sci-fi movie?", "Was Blue Glove a suicide? He died so suddenly! I thought he wouldn't die. ...... the deaths of the main characters in "Firefly" are very sudden and crisp, making some viewers wonder "Is this the end?", this is the "way of the dead" that Magic Young has always had, from "Ghost Record", "District 9", to "Firefly".

But this setting is not meaningless or rushed, on the contrary, it is intriguing, there are too many! Richard Roeper of "Ebert & Roeper" was so struggling that he felt that he should watch it again right away, and see these fascinating details hidden under the humor, excitement, mystery and weirdness, in order to write a "Firefly" movie review that would not be laughable...... The question is, will you still be able to buy tickets tonight?

It is worth noting that in the Battle of Tranquility Valley at the beginning of the film, when Marr and other independent soldiers looked up at the sky and surrendered, the soldiers on the far left of the picture were killed by the sudden gunfire from the Star Alliance fighters. At that time, he was also standing on the left, which also corresponds to his words, "I died in the Valley of Tranquility 15 years ago", and one of the major effects of his death was naturally to guide the Tranquility to the Valley of Tranquility.

The Marauder boss also dies in the same way that he is "killed by the Covenant fighter while looking up at the sky", and he appears and fights Reva with great momentum, and finally dies suddenly, no different from the independence soldiers and the whirlwind, while the Marauder leader claims to be "Superman" and "the best part of humanity".

The ferocious Blue Glove was shot and killed by Megan in the same way as to deal with the Marauders, Blue Glove & Marauder, Marauder & Whirlwind, Whirlwind & Independence Soldiers, plus Walsh, who had not participated in the Battle of Quiet Valley and did not fire anyone and was suddenly killed by a fighter plane as soon as he landed, he played the role of an "ordinary person" in the Battle of New Shanxi. Under the various connections of one link after another, they died suddenly in the "same way", no matter whether they were brave or ordinary, no matter what different ideas and factions there were, no one was different.

This kind of camera language means that the director has made a clear stance against Nazism and terrorism, and there is no superman! So the marauder camp is out, and Miranda Star is just paper flowers and later gore.

"Marl, we are all from the same world, and in this world, there is no one different from the marauders. The Covenant represents the governmentists, the hegemons, the blue gloves represent the ultra-idealists, the anarchists (the final form), the independents represent the anarchists, the unfettered superheroes (there is no difference between the runaway and the robbers), and the marauders represent the ultra-dictators, Nazism and terrorism. There is no difference between them?

This is an antithetical topic, perhaps to put it simply, whether it is good or evil, it will always be the strong side that imposes its will on the weak side, the hegemon, the fanatics, the loose, the dictator...... There is no difference in the mentality of pursuing ideals and the way in which they realize them. "Did you ask us, who do you think you are!" When Marl said this, he asked the people, and asked the families of the Covenant soldiers if they would like to fight the Battle of New Shanxi?

However, Wonder Young tells a little different, and when Whirlwind and Blue Glove are about to die, there are clever psychological montages to express their "good world".

The whirlwind is a valley of tranquility without war and weeds, a land of freedom without defeat and without the constraints of the Star Alliance; Blue Glove said "Look, that's the best world", but instead of the G20 star, he walked in the darkness to the little girl's family, the captain of the ship repair shop, and others, and these people he killed with his own hands welcomed him with a smile, and he also brought light, why?

"Hmm!" Richard Roper pondered, this psychological montage should be a metaphor for the Blue Glove has a God mentality, he wants and can redeem the dead can bring light, extreme idealism!

There is no psychological montage of the boss's death, on the one hand, he is incomplete, and on the other hand, it is in line with the Marauder's idea of "the new world is the brave new world now". When Walsh died, there was no psychological montage! But in the moving image of his grave, he sat in the wheelhouse smiling and playing with the dinosaur model, in fact, Walsh was the happiest and most "ordinary" crew member of the Serenity, he wore casual clothes, he had a wife, hobbies, a job and friends, so he ...... "It's a wonderful world now." ”

What kind of world is it now? a world without purification, in other words, a world in which good and evil coexist in human nature, a world governed by the Covenant, in other words, a world of governmentalism. Tranquility Valley has changed from overgrown weeds to plum blossoms, from a barren area to living in peace and contentment, and sometimes there is a stable government, and the people who love life, and it is better to have a government than no government, is this what Miraculous Yang wants to say? If in the long run, the Civil War and the U.S.-Iraq War will bring about positive changes, the craters will be planted with plum trees, the people will begin to forget, and the scars will heal, is this what Miraculous Yang wants to say?

Perhaps, but "Firefly" also points to the essence of the US-Iraq war, hegemony! and describes the post-war situation, "believing that they can make the people's lives better"? At the beginning, the Covenant businessmen on the train insulted the cowboy and the boy, but the police and security guards handcuffed the cowboy and took him away; on the street, the Covenant people dressed beautifully and drove hovercars, did business and opened shops and spaceship repair shops, and the cowboy people drove motorcycles and set up fruit stalls, and the war was never so simple.

Politically incorrect? Looking at the list of logic, Richard Roper suddenly laughed, what a cunning and clever guy! Magic Young's ability to use props can be described as a must, the sunflower died, and finally the plum blossoms in the "Wonderful World" Tranquility Valley were amazing, but the plum blossoms were too Chinese and too oriental, and his Asian identity was very sensitive, probably because of this, he made the little girl wear a rose pattern dress (the rose is the national flower of the United States), and the American little girl asked on behalf of the little girl, "Where are you from?"

Is America a good world?"here-do-youe-from?" also alludes to the fact that the United States is a nation of immigrants. But what is the Valley of Tranquility?A stronghold of the Independence faction in the New Galaxy War, and now the little girl of the Covenant comes to ask where the Independence people are from?Isn't Tranquility a new settlement, and isn't the nature of the war an invasion?Magical Young satirizes and teases everyone in a politically correct way, he doesn't say anything explicitly, and he seems to say a lot, and it seems that he still ...... Political correctness.

Because from "Firefly", we can find a very correct set of understanding of politics, of course, there is also a set of incorrect understanding, and we can find a set of understanding that has nothing to do with politics, so and that cross, the ending scene is very complex and sad, showing an explosive echo before and after, what world is a better world?

In addition to the world where good and evil coexist in human nature, Miraculous Jan has always said: "Keep the innocence and simplicity of the world, and keep the world simple and beautiful." ”

Blue gloves have long lost all their childlike innocence, a lot of unscrupulous camera details, he also smashed the little girl's rag doll with his own hands, killing innocence and a beautiful new world; Whirlwind is also lost, Marl, Zoe is not, Walsh who loves dinosaur toys, Kelly is in the stage of imminent loss, on the one hand, she has a simple mind "951753", on the other hand, she is afraid that others will think of other meanings, and at the same time as the love is opened, her mind has become complicated; Simon, who has set up "951753", reaches out to pick willows, There is a Ruiva who looks at the wind chimes and origami flowers, and there is also a silly Janie, there are not many lines in the later stage of this character, and every sentence has a deep meaning when I think of it, "If you have this time, it is better to play for a while", "My mother said", "Who is rare and what is a beautiful new world"...... It was also his "toy" that blew up the blue glove, which killed countless people and shattered the childlike glove.

In terms of the lens expression of this movie, there are 7 people on the Tranquility, but only two people who have participated in the war have not, this is the scar that the war brings to the soldiers who participated in it, it will not heal, maybe they will never touch the "beautiful world" again.

So when Marr and Zoe pressed the guns on their waists and looked at the children with spinning tops, it was so shocking. Miraculously did not make any direct criticism, leaving too much room for thinking and imagination, and also leaving two main questions: what do you think of the G20? Which world are you from?

"How do you write a one-sentence movie review tomorrow?" Richard Roper frowned, feeling like his head was about to explode, as if he had just figured out the tip of the iceberg of "Firefly", and he also had to examine Nietzsche's Over-Man (Over-Man) to figure out the details of the satire on the United States and China, as well as the meaning of the quiet town motif, and whether the spinning top had any other meaning...... It doesn't take so much detail to write a movie review and make a show, but he fell in love with the movie, and the movie review got an idea with a perfect score: "Amazing Young is another science fiction movie that puts Hollywood to shame." ”

“YOU-KNO-TOO-MUCH!YOU-THINK-TOO-MUCH!”

In the spacious and elegant living room, listening to a lot of questions from Natalie on the mobile phone, on the sofa, Wang Yang laughed: "How about you do the work of commenting on the audio track? Don't think about it! It's not that complicated, let yourself be childlike!" He asked a few words quickly: "here-do-youe-from?here-do-youe-from?here-do-youe-from?" he chuckled: " I just want to achieve a very beautiful picture on the screen, please, don't ruin the beauty of the ending!" Natalie's tone still couldn't be put down: "It's obviously not that simple......"

"Guess what, I'm tired, bye!" Seeing his beloved wife come out of the kitchen, Wang Yang didn't want to talk more about this topic tonight and ended the call, but unexpectedly, Jessica, who came over, also frowned in search of answers, she sat down on the sofa and asked, "Honey, I have a question about "Firefly". Wang Yang put his arm around her shoulder: "Well, what?" Jessica asked with interest: "Is Captain Whirlwind dead?" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders: "Guess!"
