Chapter 1561: Visual Effects Storm
The 72_72291 movie has just ended. The screening hall of the National Theater was surrounded by applause, and they couldn't even wait for the end credits to appear, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time, mixed with a lot of whistles and applause, making the scene look like a pot of boiling hot water, and everyone jumped up and down to express their inner surging and joy.
Unlike the retro and pure speed excitement of "Speed of Life and Death", "Independence Day" is a commercial blockbuster in the true sense, like "Terminator 2", "True Lies", and "Future Water World", with magnificent visual effects to bring a thrilling viewing experience.
The real excitement of "Independence Day" lies in the perfect combination of visual effects and plot with cross-era significance, and the excellent and effective rhythm control makes the energy of visual effects explode to the maximum, which makes "Independence Day" an important turning point in the epoch-making process of Hollywood's computer special effects.
In fact, the computer special effects have been gradually improved last year, and the real first visual effects have been vividly played in the "future water world", but the poor plot setting and too advanced ideology have made the plot and visual effects unable to produce a chemical reaction, and finally buried the wonderful computer visual effects.
The "Independence Day", which was produced more than a year later than the "Future Water World", is not only more mature in visual effects, but also more proficient in the use of technology, and most importantly, an excellent script and an excellent director.
In the entire movie of "Independence Day", whether it is the effect of the alien spaceship army pressing the border, or the effect of destroying major cities; Whether it's the fireworks in the sky for the final battle or the realistic experience of Steve's escape...... All let every audience have an immersive and wonderful experience, the kind of spectacular with a hint of unreality - this is also the biggest difference from the "speed of life and death", but it is precisely this trace of unreality that makes the charm of the art form of the movie to the extreme, aliens, the end of the world, sky battles, outer space escape...... These fantasies, which are almost impossible to happen in a lifetime, are presented in the movie with the most real and extreme effects, which is breathtaking.
If the "speed of life and death" is to bring the reality to the extreme, then "Independence Day" is to bring the illusion to the extreme, especially when the alien spacecraft has just arrived on the earth, the overwhelming sense of oppression, the clouds and the sun, the moment when fantasy and reality are integrated, brought unprecedented shock, pushed the visual effect to the extreme, and the burning feeling that burst out from the depths of the heart spread little by little, like the faint but magical flame of the primitive era, lighting up the dream that has been cherished in the depths of the heart.
This is the dream!
Especially for those who believe that there are signs of life in outer space, especially for those who believe that aliens enter the earth to plunder, and especially for those who believe that the end of the world will come sooner or later...... "Independence Day" realizes their dream, and makes this dream unfold in front of them in an extremely real way, so that it is too real to make people unwilling to believe it.
This trembling sensation that shocks the soul cannot be expressed in words, and even the most flowery rhetoric will become pale and weak. So, when the film ended, almost no one was an exception, and the collective stood up and gave the warmest applause and the highest respect. This is the most direct and effective means for them to express their inner feelings, applause, overwhelming applause!
Tom Cruise applauded excitedly, but a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although he didn't want to admit it, but the fact is that the visual effects of "Independence Day" were so wonderful that the 150-minute movie felt like just a moment, and he didn't notice the passage of time at all, just experienced this apocalyptic apocalypse with Steve and humanity all over the world. The ecstasy of finally escaping death drowned itself in an instant.
Tom looked back at the audience behind him, and the audience stood up, in the hazy light, even female audiences who have never been interested in sci-fi and disaster movies - such as Nicole Kidman - could not suppress their inner excitement at this time, and the joy of the aftermath seemed to be transmitted from the big screen to the movie theater, making everyone feel the same way, and the surging emotions in their hearts could not be cathartic, but could only applaud vigorously.

Steven Spielberg couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, and beat his hands like a child, once upon a time, it was in order to realize his ethereal dreams that he chose to become a member of the film industry, from "Jaws" to "Alien E." t", from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Jurassic Park...... Each film represents Steven's childhood fantasies and romance.
It's like the movie "Toy Story", why was it able to achieve such a huge victory? It is because this movie turns every child's childhood fantasy into reality, and the combination of childlike fun and romance effortlessly hits everyone's inner dream. It is difficult for both children and adults to resist such a work.
Steven's greatest passion for making a movie is to turn the countless ideas in his mind into reality, and today, "Independence Day" has brought another fantasy of aliens to the big screen, and the epoch-making visual effects made Steven even more excited, he excitedly pushed George Lucas standing next to him with his elbow, "It's amazing!" It's amazing! ”
George didn't answer, just showed a reserved smile, but the pride and pride in the depths of his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.
Roger Ebert was hardly an exception, and he slowly stood up, clapping his hands calmly and vigorously. As a film critic, his perspective is obviously different from that of the average audience. But putting aside the so-called professional point of view for the time being, and simply looking at "Independence Day" from the perspective of an ordinary audience, there is no doubt that as a popcorn commercial blockbuster, the visual effects of "Independence Day" are definitely the biggest weight for success, creating a wonderful viewing experience, the whole viewing process can be said to be absolutely no urine point, and the precise rhythm control makes Gao Yu move one after another, not only making the audience's feelings rise and fall with the movie, but also making the audience a part of the movie.
