Chapter 344: It's Better to Watch Again
"After talking about the set of the movie, let me explain the actors of the movie."
"I believe everyone must be very curious, why the director would choose an actress who obviously does not meet the public's aesthetics to be the protagonist of the movie."
"First of all, we can confirm that movies are definitely not like this because they can't find suitable actors, Cameron's movies can't lack actors at all."
"Then Cameron did it, the reason is easy to guess, he did it on purpose."
"I believe that the audience who has watched Cameron's last movie "Titanic" can easily notice that "Titanic 2" is the same as the previous movie, with the same three protagonists, and the characters are basically the same, they are all young rich fiancés living in first class, and a poor boy living in third class, and even the names are similar, many people will think that this is a story that happened in parallel space when they watch the movie."
"But the character of the character has changed diametrically opposite to the protagonist of the previous movie, the evil rich second-generation fiancé has become a kind person, and the rich lady Lucy has changed from a person who hates the bondage of high society to a watery poplar, a woman who is almost unscrupulous in pursuit of carnal desires, and the kind and knowledgeable Jack has also become a Jett who wants to climb up and can sell his flesh for this."
"This is a very interesting transition, in the first movie, Ruth's fiancé is the one who controls it, and Ruth herself is the one who is controlled, so she hates being bound, and the poor boy Jack in the third class is a person who saves Ruth from the bondage of high society with love, and the relationship between the three people is linked by a line, and the center of Ruth's line, whether it is the rich second generation Carl or the poor boy Jack, is the intersection that occurs because of Ruth."
"The second part of the movie is the same, because of Lucy, the poor boy Jett and the rich second-generation Carter intersected, but the relationship between the characters has changed dramatically, Lucy has changed from a connector to an absolute dominant, on the one hand, she uses all means to deceive her rich second-generation fiancé who believes in her, and on the other hand, she uses the so-called love to fish Jett and seduce him to satisfy her infinite carnal desires."
"If "Titanic" is a celebration of the supremacy of human beings and the unswerving love of death, then in the second part, the so-called love is completely trampled under the soles of the feet and becomes a fig leaf to cover up the ugliness and dirt."
"Lucy uses love to deceive her fiancé, and Jett, a poor boy, also uses love to hide his ugly desire to be a rich woman, in this process, what the audience feels is not the sacredness and beauty of love, but a kind of naked, contempt and disdain for love."
"I was initially curious about why Cameron chose to shoot the movie like this, you know, in the last movie, he spent three hours interpreting the word love very movingly, which made countless audiences yearn for it, and in the second movie, he immediately stepped on the soles of his feet and stepped on the mud, and people no longer yearn for love, but will disdain and despise it."
"I was very confused at first, and after thinking carefully, I finally got the answer, the answer is, the social environment has changed drastically, in just fifteen years, close to a generation, the people of the United States seem to have changed, once people believed in love, looked forward to love, thought that love is very beautiful, but now, love has become an out-and-out derogatory term, seems to have become a thing to avoid, compared to love, it seems that money is more worth pursuing, as long as you can get money, then, any means can be forgiven, understandably, even if the means are evil. ”
"Movies are the embodiment of social thought, I believe, it is precisely because Cameron noticed this, so he deliberately designed the movie characters to be what the audience sees now, considering that the film was prepared several years ago, when people's worship of money was not as serious as it is today, Cameron was able to notice this and express it with the movie, his vision is so advanced, it is really amazing."
"This is also reflected in the plot of the movie, and it is extremely naked."
Lucy's maid asked her why she didn't like Carl but was still engaged to him, to which Lucy replied that because she didn't want to spend her life with someone who wasn't worthy of her, she had to be the right person to marry.
Jett's friend also asked him why he was with such an ugly woman, and Jett bluntly said that it was to marry a rich woman and live a good life.
"Obviously, in this process, there is no love, it is purely a money relationship, but love has become an ugly cover, it seems that as long as there is a good-looking skin of love, it doesn't matter how dirty it is."
Even, Cameron's film also expresses the idea that in order to pursue money, some people can do whatever it takes. When the rich second-generation Carl found out about Jett and Lucy's unbearable relationship, Jett forgot about Carl's kindness to him and Carl's attempt to lift him, and took the initiative to knock Carl down with a stool in an attempt to make him die in the Atlantic. ”
"Even if Carl rescued him from the Titanic, Jett was not ashamed, but in order to marry a rich woman and get rid of a poor life, he committed the dirtiest act in human history.
"But he didn't get a good result, Lucy decisively pushed Jett into the sea, because she didn't want what happened on the ship to be known, Jett abandoned his conscience, his self-esteem, and even his morality in order to enter high society, but what he wanted to pursue in the end, he took the initiative to abandon him, which has to be said to be a very ironic ending."
"Like the first movie, Lucy survived at the last moment, but Ruth in the first movie survived because of love, and Lucy in the second movie is an out-and-out villain, if it weren't for the fact that she has been using high society to seduce Jett, Jett would not have wanted to kill Carter, and when Jett did everything to protect her reputation, Lucy decisively abandoned Jett in order to maintain her reputation."
"It can be seen that Lucy is the worst of the three, and all things are caused by her, but she survived to the end, this is an extremely dark ending, an ending that is unacceptable to the audience, completely subverting the beautiful and sour feeling that the previous movie brought to the audience, leaving people only helpless."
"But this ending was deliberately created by Cameron, and there are undoubtedly a lot of things he wants to express, rough and exaggerated sets, unique shapes, strange actors, and subversive endings, these things are combined to form a multi-layered complex structure of the film, and many things are hidden and need to be savored to be able to appreciate it."
"It is undeniable that this movie is a little too advanced in terms of expression and shooting techniques, and many viewers can't understand it, but that's not why you think it's a bad movie."
"If you can calm down and feel the complex connotation to be expressed in the movie, the audience will be able to experience a kind of beauty, a kind of beauty of the connotation of the film, multi-dimensional beauty, and profound beauty."
"In this regard, I dare to say that no director can do it better than Cameron, there are many things to be expressed in the movie "Titanic 2", maybe a little bit ahead, so it makes the audience a little unacceptable, but this does not mean that this is a bad movie."
"If you really feel from the bottom of your heart that this is a bad movie, and Cameron made a bad movie, then you should not understand this movie, fail to feel the beautiful connotation of this movie, and deep thoughts."
"I suggest that what you have to do at this time is not to scold on the Internet, but to buy a new movie ticket, calm down, seriously, watch this movie again, not only with your eyes, but also with your heart, because only in this way can you feel the beauty and connotation of this movie."
"Unconsciously, I said a lot, and the reason why I did this is because Cameron's "Titanic 2" shocked me too strongly, I dare to say that there is no one in the world who makes movies better than Cameron, and there is no director who is higher than him."
"As a director, I see the future of the film from Cameron's films, the future direction of the film, and more importantly, I also see Cameron's unique pursuit."
"That's all I have to say, I hope the audience will think seriously about whether this is a bad movie or not, if you have time, it is a better choice to watch it again."
