Chapter 506: Coffin Stone
Let's not talk about the fact that Robert Downey Jr.'s feelings may have a second spring.
After jumping the Nile, O'Connor and Evelyn continued their treasure hunt without danger.
Despite the loss of some luggage, the purchasing power of the pound was very strong in Egypt at the beginning of the 20th century.
Jonathan spent a sum of money and directly bought four camels as a means of transportation.
And Evelyn also changed into Egyptian-style clothes, and even wore a translucent veil.
"This movie is just Rachel Weisz's drag show!"
Richard Manson muttered.
As a film critic who mainly evaluates the acting skills of actors, he does not expect much from "The Mummy".
This is not to say that he is not optimistic about this movie, but films with adventure comedy themes, such as the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, have never been a film genre based on acting.
This kind of movie is very popular and does well at the box office, but the acting skills shown by the actors are generally ......
Richard didn't have any extravagant ideas.
However, seeing now, he found that the actors in it, whether they were the protagonists or supporting roles, performed well.
Especially by Rachel Weisz, she actually brought a character who was supposed to be a vase to life, so that everyone couldn't help but look at her.
"It seems that this guy Charlotte Booth is really good at directing the acting skills of actors!"
Richard sighed in his heart,
"However, he always likes to shoot the heroine very beautifully and movingly, and to some extent, it will cover up the actress's acting skills!"
Of course, Richard couldn't say Charlotte was doing the wrong thing.
After all, from her appearance to the present, Evelyn, played by Rachel Weisz, has changed several sets of clothes.
- Each set is pleasing to the eye, and there are even lace pajamas that everyone loves.
Although this approach does not help to highlight the acting skills of the actors, the beauty of the actors is undoubtedly revealed.
- In a way, this is more eye-catching than acting.
In particular, the character of Evelyn is originally different from the vase heroine in ordinary movies, and the cute nerdy lady temper will make people can't help but like her.
Now coupled with these dress-up shows that show off their appearance, the image of this character stands up all of a sudden.
What's more, Charlotte Booth also added some interesting little hobbies to the character of Evelyn.
Not to mention anything else, just the image of her sitting on the boat, reading a book and munching on a date palm made Richard feel a little hungry.
"The pictures of eating are so beautiful, Charlotte Booth is really good at filming the beauty of actresses!"
Richard pondered.
In fact, there is a common saying in Hollywood that male directors are better at capturing the beauty of actresses.
In others, Richard would not dare to say that this must be true, but in Charlotte's case, there is no doubt about the truth.
However, it didn't take long for Richard Manson to realize that Charlotte was good at capturing more than just the beauty of actresses.
"This mirage is just—"
As a film critic who eats with a pen, Richard didn't even know how to describe the picture in front of him for a while.
- It's magnificent!!
This isn't just Richard Manson's feelings.
The audience in the entire screening hall was dumbfounded by the mirage scene covered with large screens.
"How the hell did he do that!?"
Kenneth Turan was full of doubts.
It's not hard to shoot a mirage or the sun rising in the desert in a Hollywood movie, but Kenneth has never seen it in such a realistic and powerful way as a film critic.
After all, it is still a mirage, and it is still difficult to shoot the real scene.
And relying on special effects, you can't do such an exaggerated expressiveness and shock.
- This is even more shocking than a real-life mirage.
"He wouldn't have really captured a real-life mirage, would he?"
Kenneth was skeptical, then shook his head again.
- Even if there is a mirage in reality, what about the ruins of Hamnath?
- Is it a combination of real action and special effects!?
Mr. Film Critic was puzzled.
Compared with other people who don't know the inside story, Rachel Weisz, as the heroine of the movie "The Mummy", personally filmed the scene at that time, but the shock in her heart was not a lot at all.
Because the picture on the big screen was even more magnificent than the real scene she saw in the Moroccan desert at that time.
Especially the feeling of distorting and steaming the air on the surface under the sun, coupled with the huge Hamnath ruins that suddenly appeared in the distance, made Rachel feel a trembling feeling all over her body.
And seeing her character on the big screen riding a camel towards the ruins, Rachel even had a feeling similar to the feeling that she couldn't help but scream when she was in high tide......
Rachel Weisz is not alone in feeling the same way.
At least, when Gianna leaned into Emily's ear and whispered "I'm wet", Emily rarely didn't taunt her roommate.
——This magnificent picture really moved everyone inexplicably.
Emily even had the idea of wanting to travel to the desert.
However, no matter how magnificent the picture is, there will be a time when it will pass.
After entering the ruins of Hamnath, O'Connor and Evelyn embark on an archaeological or treasure hunt.
Unlike the overwhelming American expeditions, the group, which consisted of only four including the warden, did not rush to start digging, but erected several large bronze mirrors under the guidance of Evelyn.
Guided by the light of the bronze mirror, they found the entrance to a cave at the foot of the statue of Anubis.
When they entered it, they happened to encounter an American expedition that had been excavated from elsewhere.
The two sides almost burst into flames.
Fortunately, Evelyn finally found other clues and divided the excavation area with the other party, so as to avoid a fight.
However, Evelyn didn't expect that what they excavated was actually a sarcophagus.
"Is this the sarcophagus of the High Priest Immorton at the beginning?"
Donnie muttered quietly, only to be glared at again by Susan, who was sitting next to him, and honestly stopped talking.
However, Downey's opinion is indeed the opinion of most of the audience.
In particular, when Evelyn discovers that the sarcophagus is locked, and the key to unlocking it is the magic box that Jonathan stole from O'Connor, everyone is even more sure.
"I wonder when they will open the sarcophagus?"
At this time, Emily's heart even raised a little expectation, as if waiting to see how the bear child would die.
