1126: Shocking Demon Thieves Released (First Update)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The screening of "Shocking Demon Thieves" this time will naturally attract a lot of media and professional film critics. Keller is a professional film critic hired by the famous North American film review newspaper "Hollywood Reporter", and he is very well-known in the circle and has rich experience in film criticism.
Four minutes later, Keller looked around the auditorium, and the seats were completely full. This is also an indicator of movie evaluation, and the popularity of Cheng dΓΉ, publicity Cheng dΓΉ, box office, etc. will affect the score of film reviews. Keller relaxes and waits patiently for the movie to come out.
The movie is finally out. Keller saw the familiar glamour movie headpiece, the famous ink villain 1ogo. Keller still remembers that when he saw "Source Code" a few years ago, he was very impressed by the opening credits of this ink figurine. And now the brand is very famous all over the world, and the opening is deeper and more eye-catching than it was at the beginning.
At the beginning of the movie, it gave the audience a dazzling flower cut.
I saw the handsome male protagonist completing a series of dazzling cut cards in front of the mirror. Keller is a magic fan himself, which is why he took the initiative to apply to come here to watch the movie.
In Keller's eyes, the male protagonist's card cutting action is broken down into basic card cutting actions.
"First of all, we pulled the cards. Then there's Pandora, Tornado, ERM...... Huh, what is this? Feels like Pandora, but not like it? Is it a variant? β¦β¦ Tornado ......"
Although Keller is a fan of magic, he is not very proficient in this cut card, and he looks at the male protagonist in that chic and skillful cutting card. I can't help but be amazed.
The cut continues, preqe1. Then there is the Pandora standard ending, and then there is the pressure fan......
And there are also magic burners in the theater who are exclaiming......
"Wow. Another tornado! β
"This snap~netge is so cool!!"
Wait until snap~netge is done. The flower cut was officially completed, and the other audience members heard the exclamations of those spectators, unaware of it.
As the leader of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", Jesse Eisenberg is an expert in poker fast hands, and his tricks are superb, not only putting the audience under his control, but also cleverly hiding his true self under the identity of a magician. In Eisenberg's words: "He was a genuinely charismatic liar, a man who could easily make a woman fall in love with him." β
Then the hypnotist uses sharp techniques to hypnotize customers, just a charlatan who relies on professional skills to "cheat". For him, being able to make money and get professional recognition are the two main points of life, of course, being able to cooperate with beautiful women is also a physiological drive, as for the projection of others or praise or vicious eyes. This confidence stems not only from his professionalism in mind reading and hypnosis, but also from his deep knowledge of the ideal side he wants to reach.
Then there's the trickster who shows off his magic on the ship and steals a passenger's wallet. The youngest of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" in "The Thieves of the Apocalypse", according to his own words: "This fresh-flesh magician was just a naΓ―ve street hustler at first, simply hoping to be around those amazing magicians, and later. He used hard work and flying skills to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and earned their respect, the last of which was a beautiful woman who showed off her mischievous acrobatics.
Originally, the heroine of this section was arranged to challenge the piranha to show escape in the aquarium. But it doesn't match the image of ange1ababy, and it is replaced by a humorous and pure oriental female acrobat.
Acrobatics are very much in line with the characteristics of the Chinese, and this change fits her very well. is a pure Oriental female man, and her specialty is flexible acrobatics and balance shows. Including the plot of walking a tightrope in the middle of two skyscrapers, etc., can show the charm of her character.
But as Eisenberg's assistant, he never had the opportunity to show the male self of a sexy woman. So being on an equal footing with Eisenberg makes her tsundere, and the tea girl who hands the paper towel with props becomes a star-studded stage magician. And when she showed off her skills on the same stage as the former boss, the corners of her mouth had already risen to the top of her head.
It's a feast of magic, but maybe someone this won't be a good movie. If you taste it, you will see more than that.
Audiences have been saying that this is a movie about magic. However, it is precisely because, from the beginning and until now, I have believed that this is a movie about magic. So, what's the difference between this and "being tricked by magic"?
And when high-level people jump out of the magic box to examine the movie, there are only some people who are still immersed in the world of magic and still do not accept the hypnosis in the film? But I don't know that this is hypnosis, and the audience's behavioral thinking consciousness has been mobilized, that is, it is hypnosis!
Some people can think outside the box, some people can't, who is really hypnotized?
Especially that classic line, which the movie mentions many times, "The closer you look, the less real it is." "Magic is something that "attracts your attention", and the audience's attention is unconsciously attracted to "This is a magic movie, and it is also a movie that tells magic very badly." β
After Keller watched the movie, he recalled that he realized the hard work behind the movie and the bitter reminder of the lines.
And this is precisely the essence of magic. Without the audience's conviction, there is no possibility of being deceived.
He left the cinema with a high score of 7.5 on IBdm, which is a very high score for a magic movie.
wrote a long film review: "When I was almost deeply attracted by this movie from the beginning to the end, the gorgeous stage, the wonderful magic, the thrilling car, and the revelation of Morgan Freeman's magic, it can be said that this movie almost does not give people time to think, so after watching this movie, I suddenly realized that I couldn't even grasp the main line of this movie, but after walking out of the movie theater, I thought about it carefully, in fact, the movie has always told everyone." The essence of the film: 'get close, you can't see anything'. β
"'Rogue Groups' is closer to a simple Hollywood popcorn movie. But the director didn't want to go the usual Hollywood route. Suspense may be what the director of this movie wants to sit on the most, tarot cards, mysterious eyes, and peculiar symbols, this is a movie that wants to have a wonderful plot like "Deadly Magic" or "Inception" on the premise of using Hollywood special effects, but I have to say that Lin Harmonibin, a director who is good at using movie scenes and creating thrilling special effects movies such as "Passion and Degree 6", is really very thoughtful in shooting big scenes. Be more daring in the plot. His works can make people's hearts beat, and this "Shocking Demon Thieves" is no different. β
"Amazing Demon Thieves" was released in 3,325 theaters this week, with a box office score of $48.50 million, which is the box office champion of the week. This is a crime thriller packaged under magic, and there was also a similar theme "Level Magician" released before, which is a comedy genre and grossed $118,000 a week. In the end, the total score was only $2,254, and it was a box office loss.
This week's "Shocking Demon Thieves" is more than four times better than its predecessor "Level Magician", but the follow-up exhibition still makes people sweat for it.
Lin is in the limelight in Hollywood, and since the global box office record of "Passion and Degree 6" last week, many studios have wanted him to direct blockbusters. It's a pity that the Phantom is more decisive and has made enough conditions for him before his new film is released.
Or rather. Two Chinese Americans are better to talk to? The reporter teased.
Jesse Eisenberg, the little curly, is as fast-talking as ever, and this is his second collaboration with Lee Dong-lai.
For the film, Jesse Eisenberg, AB and others also specially learned some basic techniques and basic theories of magic. The film tells the story of the FBI's battle of wits with one of the world's best magicians, who rob banks and distribute money to the audience while performing, putting them in a gray area of law and morality.
ImdB score 7.2. Yahoo viewers gave it four stars and Rotten Tomatoes with a freshness rating of 63%.
The movie has a certain attraction in terms of visual effects. In addition to the three generations of the old, middle and young plus Chinese beauties and French beauties, the gorgeous magic scenes are also very exciting, but in other aspects, the film is very ordinary, and its design of the magic link is a little old-fashioned, and ancient skills such as Chinese tightrope walking acrobatics are the highlights of the movie.
The Charlotte Observer commented: "Compared with the Oscar-winning screenplay winner "The Usual Suspects", this film may not be the most satisfying crime drama, but the gap is not big. Entertainment Weekly: "In some ways, this film is better than Christopher? Nolan's "Deadly Magic" is even better. β
"Ree1Vies": "On the same level as Ocean's Eleven, and with the same Oscar-quality cast, the total number of nominations the cast has reached 15. ": The magician's version of "Ocean's Eleven" is full of childlike deception, making the audience happy to follow the characters and be fooled. β
"Variety" commented: "Thanks to beautiful tricks and attractive cast combinations, this magic version of Ocean's Eleven is still worth watching, although its potential is far from being fully unleashed." β
There is no doubt that the weekend box office of $48.55 million will allow this medium-budget film to make a sequel without any worries.
In the same period, Return to Earth, which opened in 3,4o1 theaters, only grossed $270,000, making it the runner-up at the box office this week. It stands to reason that going into battle with father and son, father and son teaming up, will definitely be able to make a big hit at the box office, but this is not the case, the film is a rare Waterloo in Will Smith's acting career, it seems that this time he was held back by his son.
Will Smith had always wanted to make a film with director M. Knight Shyamalan, but had never been able to find the right subject matter, and this movie gave them an opportunity. However, Shyamalan's decision to shoot the film was hired by Smith himself, not by the studio, which also corresponds to the phrase "pity the hearts of parents in the world".
The film is the second time that Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith have played father and son on screen, the first being in the film "When Happiness Knocks" seven years ago, when Jaden was only eight years old. That movie grossed $26.54 million for the week and earned a total of $164 million, and the film invested only $550,000, which was a very successful box office success.
And although this "Return to Earth" did not make much movement at the box office and cannot be compared with "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", Jaden Smith was nominated for Best Summer Teen Action Star at the 22nd mTV Film Awards this year for this film, which can be regarded as a small consolation to Dad Smith.
The ImdB score is 5.1, Yahoo viewers give it two and a half stars, and the Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating is 12%.
Although the film has a lot of investment, the special effects are not half a star worse than the previous "The Last Wind Child". As a science fiction film, sloppy visuals are a flaw. The lack of acting experience of the young actors is also one of the shortcomings of the film. Still, Will Smith's performance was still spectacular, but the only thing to praise was not enough to deserve the ticket price.
"I want two tickets for the Amazing Demon Thieves." , "Four copies of "Shocking Demon Thieves". "Give me four Phantom Shadows' "Amazing Demon Thieves". ", "A copy of "Shocking Demon Thieves". ββ¦β¦
When night falls, 33,525 North American theaters are popular, and there is no shortage of blockbusters in the summer cold season, but the ticket sellers who give tickets know very well that they are either watching "Passion and Degree 6" or "Shocking Demon Thieves".
After this movie, the Phantom became popular with a Chinese actress in Hollywood.
ange1ababy followed Lin Zhiling and Bingbing Fan, and Xun became popular in North America. has also appeared on several talk shows in a row.
