Chapter 623: One World, One Fear
Three days is enough time for many people to study the movie over and over again, and it is enough for them to buy an original novel and see the difference between the movie and the text of the novel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Major media outlets have released their own related film reviews, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have received rave reviews.
Tencent Entertainment wrote: "Jurassic Park" is by no means a cheap cliché for humans and monsters from beginning to end, it is a classic in the true sense, and it can be seen from the early stage of creation. Lin Han, the author of the original book, personally served as the screenwriter, which greatly ensured the original flavor of the movie, and Spielberg also joined in shaping the world view, shooting on film, investing heavily in special effects, and so on. When we see a large group of chicken dragons rushing across the grassland, see the Tyrannosaurus rex in the Jurassic period roaring up to the sky, and see the hordes of velociraptors taking humans as prey, these are all shocking scenes, the senses are shocking, and the scientific spirit and humanistic feelings have reached a perfect balance!
A special film critic of "Watching Movies" weekly wrote on the Internet: It is said that Spielberg's original intention in filming "Jurassic Park" was to stay away from Hollywood's cookie-cutter monster movies and treat dinosaurs as characters, rather than treating them as monsters against humans.
There is even a special film review published in China Youth Daily, but the perspective of this film review is different from the previous one!
The article titled "Dinosaurs and Humans, Who Is the Ruler of the Earth?" was written by Lu Houcheng, a well-known writer in the literary world, who described his feelings in detail in the article.
"The similarity between dinosaurs and humans lies in the fact that both have successively ruled the earth, and in terms of the laws of survival, one shows absolute power, and the other drives the change of the world with wisdom, but the mutual reference between dinosaurs and humans has always been the core of the story of "Jurassic Park".
Human beings always rely on the development of high intelligence and science and technology, and delusionally want to control everything; The dinosaurs were successfully resurrected into the world, allowing the rulers of the earth to meet 65 million years apart, and humans will finally know their own insignificance.
At the beginning of the story, we always have ideals in mind, after we found a species called "dinosaur" in the fossil, we tried to decipher it all the way from the bone remains, and learned that they had a huge body, not to mention the sharp teeth used by carnivorous dinosaurs to tear their opponents.
Jurassic World Park, like all theme parks in the world, leads adults and children to see living dinosaurs, and also uses it to maintain nurturing funds.
In this film, which uses a large number of computer special effects due to the high development of science and technology, Spielberg and Lin Han actually use the genetic engineering of dinosaurs to raise questions about modern science: Can science make human beings think that they are the masters of the world, and can dominate and surpass nature?
Of course, the answer given in the original novel is no. Spielberg also continued Linhan's view!
This reflects the modern human understanding of the limitations of science after the 20th century of introspection.
Science cannot be an excuse for human hubris.
However, this does not detract from the greatness of science. After all, because of the development of science, Spielberg was able to create, and we can see the image of dinosaurs living leisurely in nature 60 million years ago!"
In fact, this movie not only has such realistic special effects and thrilling plots, but also thinks about science and technology, which are what the filmmakers want to bring to the audience.
Even the People's Daily, which has always been more old-fashioned, has published its own comments, and they believe that Spielberg's childlike treatment makes "Jurassic Park" beyond the cliché plot of humans vs. monsters, and is full of the fantasy beauty of the dream-making version!
And almost every theory of the protagonist Dr. Grant about dinosaurs is traceable, and Lin Han can be called far-sighted in this regard. The film not only has interesting ideas and sensory stimulation, but also undertakes the ultimate mission of a sci-fi blockbuster: to arouse a generation of teenagers' enthusiasm for science!
The film is very good in terms of professional reputation, and it is even more praised by the audience, and many people are simply recommended by their friends or relatives to go to the cinema to see this work that is known as a contemporary science fiction classic.
Whether the movie is good or not, the audience naturally has a scale in their hearts, they are willing to share this good-looking movie with their friends, they are willing to talk about the plot of this movie when they get together with friends, and they are willing to go into the cinema many times just to see the various details mentioned in the movie review!
……
With the release of North America and the rest of the world, "Jurassic Park" began to make waves in the global film market, counting the $175 million box office in Chinese mainland, it grossed $558 million in 67 regions around the world, breaking the global opening box office record of $311 million held by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II)"!
The whole world was stupefied by dinosaurs and the box office records set by dinosaurs!
Almost all markets are premiering at the same time, and each individual market has gone strongly, with all 67 regions leading the weekend box office in all 67 regions, with the exception of Japan!
The film was in full swing, earning more than $340 million outside of North America, and was popular in overseas markets.
In addition to the $175 million box office in Chinese mainland, the film earned $29.6 million in the United Kingdom, Mexico earned $16.2 million, South Korea also performed very well with $14.4 million, France, Australia and Germany earned $13 million, $1200, $11 million, etc.
The prehistoric dinosaurs also performed well in their hometown, earning $218 million in the first three days of the first weekend, the second highest opening weekend in North American film history!
The $558 million came surgingly, becoming the first film in film history to break the $500 million mark at the global box office in its opening weekend, and even people's expectations for the film have increased from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion!
For such a shocking movie, the vast majority of its box office came from 3D screens, and even IMAX screens earned $44 million!
The box office performance of the rest of the films can be described as overshadowed by the fact that the dinosaurs were so strong, and "Dark Doomsday," starring Hollywood's popular male star, earned $42.5 million in 77 overseas markets last weekend, pushing its global box office to $360 million, and then it didn't do it again.
Such a strong box office performance also made Paramount breathe a sigh of relief, although it has not yet returned to its original cost at this time, but the profit is definitely no problem, before they were still worried that this group of dinosaurs would not adapt to the soil, but they didn't expect the whole world to love them!
Audiences in Europe and the United States like this movie very much, so some people even buy tickets to watch it repeatedly, and it is not a problem to watch it twice or three times, and at the same time, there is also a group of like-minded people who team up to watch the movie and exchange plots offline at the same time.
After all, "Jurassic Park" has a broad mass base, and the original wave of dinosaur craze drove many readers to buy and read this book!
Even the movie has such a wonderful box office performance, the credit of the original novel cannot be erased, this novel has made a great contribution to the movie, and the power of fans of the original book is very strong.
When Paramount Pictures announced that it would release "Jurassic Park" in mid-June, many box office analysts questioned the decision, believing that it would be a mistake to put this blockbuster blockbuster on the Independence Day (July 4) holiday in the United States, and to put it in June!
However, at this time, I looked back and found that Paramount Pictures was actually very shrewd in its choice of this schedule.
After the bombardment of blockbusters in April and May, its main competitor "Dark Doomsday" did not perform well, and the box office market was a little weak throughout June.
A good schedule is the first part, and Paramount's marketing efforts are also the key to success, starting from the purchase of the rights to Linham, to Steven Spielberg's joining of the movie, and the first trailer in the Super Bowl, which has always attracted the attention of the media and audiences.
The ubiquitous movie trailers, giant billboards, and pervasive brand placements have even set off a craze for fans to imitate movie scenes on social media platforms, so much money has been spent on promotion, and marketing strategies span many mediums!
"Jurassic Park" can be said to give a textbook example of the pre-promotion and mid-follow-up of all commercial films.
Its success also proves once again that "market + quality = invincible", which has become the golden rule for Hollywood and even domestic commercial blockbusters to achieve box office success!
Now is the time when 3D and IMAX are all the rage, and this most popular viewing mode is arguably the best assist to the success of the film, and what could be more exciting than watching a Tyrannosaurus rex fight a velociraptor in 3D?
People hope to enter the world of Jurassic and feel the shock of dinosaurs, and "Jurassic Park" meets the expectations of the audience!
With a combination of factors, it's normal for it to create a box office miracle, but people are starting to look forward to what kind of box office myth it can write.
Similar to the rest of the world, the media in North America believes that "Jurassic Park" is a commercial blockbuster worth thinking about, and the authoritative media score gives a high score of 77!
After all, this is just a commercial film, and unless it is a nitpicky film critic, no one will delve into how much literati care this film will have, which is the character that art films are going to complete.
"Empire" magazine gave it a perfect score of 100, and they thought that "Jurassic Park" felt fresh and exciting, and many of the plots were based on the novel but not blindly copied, which gave this series of dinosaur movies a good start.
"The Complete Movie" also gave a high score of 90, "Jurassic Park is a not simple, well-made blockbuster, with an old-fashioned adventure story and heroism wrapped in a clever and self-aware shell, and the two young actors bring the audience into a world of horror!"
"Los Angeles Times" put forward higher requirements for director Spielberg, they think that the story is acceptable and is a very good entertainment film, but it is not enough, so they only gave a score of 85, looking forward to the next film can do higher.
The most incredible thing is the evaluation of the New York Times, they believe that this film is a perfect example of the combination of art and entertainment, and it is a classic case of Spielberg's combination of art and commercial ability, which will leave a strong mark on film history.
This review is completely complimentary, but the rating is only 70 points, which makes people completely confused, I don't know what the New York Times thinks!
……
It's the best of times, but it's also the worst of times.
This famous quote in "A Tale of Two Cities" can be said to be very appropriate in the current situation of science fiction films!
With the rapid development of computer special effects technology, it seems that there is no way to show the light and shadow on the screen, and technology brings people endless hope.
But on the other hand, the core part of science fiction movies, creativity, is becoming more and more declining.
Looking at it, almost all kinds of comic book heroes are popular on the big screen now, and any sci-fi film seems to be able to be built with special effects as long as it costs a lot of money!
In the past, science fiction films brought people obsessive and intoxicated, but there are fewer and fewer of them, and they don't know where to look.
Looking at the science fiction films in recent years, there are too few and too few that can really bring the audience to think, almost all of them are popcorn-level comic hero battles, anyway, there are so many comic heroes, shoot this and that, and then combine these people together to make a few more.
It can be said that Lin Han's science fiction novels, as well as science fiction movies adapted from science fiction novels, can sell well all over the world, the most important reason is that he tightly holds the hearts of science fiction fans and ordinary audiences, in addition to the picture, there is also real creativity!
It's very difficult to have a good idea, and science fiction movies are basically not about creativity these days.
Lin Han hopes that he can bring more sci-fi masterpieces, not only to shock the audience in terms of visual effects and auditory effects, but also to make progress in the core of thought!
So he chose to shoot "The Matrix", a sci-fi film that can drive fans to think, and he showed his ambition to bring real sci-fi, not comics!
