Hollywood Domination Chapter 182: The anger of some people

Although the filming went through hardships, and even all the actors couldn’t stand the smell from their costumes during the reshoots, but on the big screen, the significance of the crew’s insistence on shooting real scenes in the Caribbean was fully displayed. The same is filled with light, but under the hot sun of the Caribbean Sea, everyone looks radiant and energetic. Will and Elizabeth, who ended in a tie, happily talked about the fight just now, while the governor commented somewhat disapprovingly Elizabeth's obsession with martial arts, "This is all you can think about now, Elizabeth, now no one wants to marry you except Will."

"Dad." Elizabeth stepped forward and took her father's arm, "Then let's talk about your favorite topic - wedding..."

This is to find a reason for Elizabeth's sudden appearance of martial arts. Soon, the camera cuts to the fleet slowly approaching the port. The main villain of this movie, Lord Beckett, stands on the bow, staring The Governor's Mansion at the highest point of the island, behind the ship, large chunks of dark clouds drifted over, as if implying that the news that Beckett brought was not good.

With the sound of rain, the soldiers on Beckett's ship rushed into the town and searched the buildings in the town, and the story went back to the scene at the beginning. A sudden heavy rain disrupted all rhythms, and the bride failed to wait for her groom, but the bad news that Will was arrested instead.

"Will!" Elizabeth blocked the group's way, it seems that she will not let it go without asking clearly, "What happened?"

"I don't know, Elizabeth." Will was also at a loss, and the angry governor stepped forward to ask what happened. ——This part is Lord Beckett’s scene. As the villain’s little boss, he used this opportunity to shape his character, which is somewhat neurotic, cleanliness, and very particular about etiquette, and revealed the reason why Elizabeth and Will were arrested: They sheltered the notorious pirate Jack Sparrow.

"Captain Jack Sparrow." Under Elizabeth and Will's unanimous protest, the scene turned to Captain Jack. He and the Black Pearl were wandering around a heavily guarded high-tower prison. Captain Jack escaped in the coffin of the dead. He sneaked into the prison with great painstaking efforts in order to steal a key.

"If you have a key, you have to have a lock." Captain Jack is still talking like before. Fans who like his performance are smiling, but some viewers like Charles, who are not interested in this set, just feel Got impatient.

"It seems to be a double line." Charles thought absently, "Jack's line is similar to the trailer, he is cursed, and so on... Well, apart from the art and special effects, this line is worth seeing. It's just pretending to be a ghost, which is off-putting."

"Finally, the essence of the "Pirates" series has emerged," beside him, Johnny Depp, who is also a die-hard fan of the series, Annie, thought with satisfaction, "What we want to watch is not some action blockbuster, but It takes Jack's unhurried sense of humor, and he perfectly embodies the charm of pirates - I just love him."

Yes, in "Pirate 1", Jack, Will, and Elizabeth are connected together through the cursed gold coin of the Black Pearl. This suspense has always caught the audience and made them attracted by the plot. I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful performance, but in "Pirate 2", the two-line plot inevitably seems a bit loose, and the audience has to be patient to understand the two stories at the same time, and the amount of information in the picture is still as large as before-this is for the audience. Said it was a test. A very rich and complex story? No problem, as long as the audience is engrossed in watching it, the audience can understand it, two full and complex stories, new characters? Plus Captain Jack's nagging way of speaking?

"The beginning is amazing, but it's completely nonsense at this point." Derek's brows have been twisted, "It seems that "Pirate 2" cannot escape the curse of sequels, and Verbinski doesn't seem to know How to use more than one big name actor - Johnny's performance is on the level, not to mention Jennifer, her and Josh's action scenes are a total surprise, and they carry the atmosphere with their personal charm, but it is obvious, When the camera is not on the actors, the whole story is a complete mess. There are too many new characters, Beckett, Shoelace Bill, Davy Jones, and the familiar supporting characters from the previous work, showing up without explanations and lines , It’s hard to remember, to think about, it’s hard to watch the movie... The sequel has an old problem, and it’s necessary to maintain the characters of the previous film, but also to add newcomers. While Jennifer and Josh's fight scene is skyrocketing, Johnny's fight scene is a total disaster, which is a horrible thing, the tone of the two lines is different, it's two movies..."

Only Jon is like this, quick thinking, easy to understand the plot, and the fans who like Johnny, Josh, and Jennifer are all smiles and shouted wonderful, she thinks the second part is better than the first one One is better to watch, no matter which line it is, it is exciting and exciting. Jennifer's martial arts line is even more surprising - her transition to girlpower seems to have been premeditated. I like it dearly—Jon did feel sorry for Jennifer in the past few years. Although she is younger than Jennifer, she is quiet and thin in daily street photos. She always reminds me of her rough life experience and work. And the burden of life, but now Jennifer has a strong aura, that coolness makes people like and look up to, and the feeling of cunning and powerful in the fight scene makes people feel an urge to worship. If she used to be charming with her beauty, making people think, 'she is so beautiful, she needs to be cared for', now she is convincing people with her legendary experience, making people think, 'she is so powerful, I want to worship her ' up.

After the initial fight scene and the appearance of Jack, the plot is divided into two lines, intertwined and moving forward. Captain Jack learns that the life debt he owes Davy Jones has reached the deadline for repayment, and Davy is about to send his The sea monster came to claim his life. After another scene of arrest by force, Will and Elizabeth gave up resistance because the governor was restrained by Beckett, and were thrown into prison. Lord Beckett defended Will. Provided a way to escape the death penalty: find Captain Jack and exchange the lives of the two with the compass in his hand.

While Will was going to look for Captain Jack, Elizabeth and her father had a tacit escape scene: this scene was full of joy, the Governor came to visit the prison, and was eyeing him under the command of Lord Beckett. Next, like a spy movie, a wire was left at the door of Elizabeth's cage, and Elizabeth cleverly deceived the two guards, got the wire, took advantage of the guard's nap, and untied her wrist. the shackles.

Listening to the funny and spy movie-like soundtrack, watching Elizabeth rack her brains and open the lock awkwardly, and the funny of pretending to be safe when the guard snapped her head suddenly and raised her head The whole audience laughed out loud, and Derek's eyebrows were also untied. He smiled a little fondly, and praised Jennifer eccentrically, "Her hard work is unquestionable, no wonder, Alan said that she is here She broke through herself again in this play. Indeed, she has never dabbled in action scenes and comedy scenes before, and her performance is enough to explain everything. ——No one should deny Jennifer's performance, just Few of the new generation of actresses in Hollywood can shoot her action scenes, even the new generation of male stars... There are fewer and fewer old-school men who are as skilled as Jean-Vondon, and now everyone is Relying on a stand-in, only Jennifer doesn't...I guess that's what makes her so great."

While Elizabeth successfully escaped from prison, Will also set up a line with Jack after some searching. Ke just vaguely guessed that Jack might use Will to repay the debt, because this way Will and Shoelace Bill could meet together, but he didn't know if Will knew it, and he didn't know how Jack planned to realize it, because here The director inserted a scene of escaping from a desert island. Will was kidnapped by cannibals on a desert island, and Jack, who was captured before him, turned into a king instead.

This scene is also very funny, and the audience laughed a lot, but after losing his favorite Jennifer, Derek finally couldn't help shaking his head: Yes, he admitted that every part of the film A section taken alone is well-made, full of sincerity, and in fact, it is also very beautiful. But together, the main line of the whole plot appears loose and chaotic, and the progress is weak and reluctant. This is not an actor's problem, but the director's lack of control over it.

"It's time to change the angle of view again." Charles is also sometimes excited and sometimes depressed. He just saw Elizabeth escape from prison and applauded her calm skill and elegant temperament like a ballerina. The camera turned to the deserted island again. Jumping back and forth between Will and Jack, this kind of multi-perspective narrative is very painful for him, a veteran movie fan. He just picked up one end and lost the other end. In the continuous small incidents, he completely forgot The main line--no, even he hasn't clarified a main line until now, "God, the movie is 40 minutes now, and Davy Jones hasn't shown his face yet? He is the biggest villain."

"Wow!" Just as he complained dissatisfiedly, Charles' eyes widened again: After Elizabeth escaped, she directly attacked Lord Beckett's office at night, and had a wonderful night with the Lord in the office secret war. Charles was completely overwhelmed by the smooth action design, the brilliant details, and the gorgeous mirror movement in this fight scene, "Whew, it's really breathless, fast-paced, and only real people can do it." Half-body full-body frontal camera, rotating camera... oh oh!"

When Lord Beckett was at a disadvantage, and someone passed by outside the office door, he wanted to call for help, but was slashed to the throat by Elizabeth's sword and almost stopped, Charles couldn't help but let out a low cry, "It's so beautiful!"

"When will the call be..." Annie felt bored instead. "Oh my god, even though she just won an Oscar, she shouldn't add such a drama, right? I almost hate Jennifer—the protagonist of this movie should be Johnny!"

It was a scene of a fierce fight just now, and suddenly fell into absolute stillness. Elizabeth was wearing tight-fitting men's trousers, with her feet stretched apart, one foot on the wall and the other on the table, as if performing a difficult dance In the posture of the big split, the whole person is condescending, and the tip of the sword stops at Lord Beckett's throat. The two of them are still at the same time, one bright and one dark. At this moment, the picture is like an oil painting, with an indescribable beauty.

"Lord?" A suspicious voice came from outside the door, "Do you have any orders?"

"I'm fine." Lord Beckett broke out in cold sweat, but he still replied calmly, "Back off—"

Elizabeth's sword pointed forward a little, and blood beads suddenly appeared on Lord Beckett's throat, and he quickly added, "Lock the door, you can go home, you don't need your services tonight. "

Following the sound of footsteps going away and the sound of locking the lock, Elizabeth slightly relaxed her vigilance, and Lord Beckett took this opportunity to shake the table violently. Elizabeth lost her balance and fell down. It turned into extreme agitation, and another fight began.

"This is simply... This is simply 'Zen'!" Charles has fallen into a state of frenzy, "No, it's 'Tai Chi'! The scene just now-the most exciting fight scene of the year!"

In this completely different reaction, the plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" advances in an orderly manner: Captain Jack visits the witch to seek countermeasures, Davy Jones strikes, and Will is left on the Flying Dutchman Captain Jack exchanged his freedom with him and 99 other souls. He went to Tertuga Island to recruit these souls, and Elizabeth negotiated terms with Lord Beckett, pretending to deceive a merchant ship to go to Tertuga Island. To Tetuga Island.

These three lines merged into two again, and Derek shook his head. He had already seen the director's narrative rhythm, "I want to control the story through the separation and reunion of clues, but unfortunately his technique is too So-so, but lost control of the story. It's been an hour now, and the story hasn't reached the climax. It's too long and unbearable... Verbinski has completely lost his aura. But Josh, Jennifer It's still a surprise, Johnny... It's not a credit, but it's the director's fault."

"Are you kidding me!" Contrary to him, Kenneth Turan of the "Los Angeles Times" kept increasing his anger. When he saw Jennifer showing off her skills on the mast again, Ken Nice finally couldn't stand it anymore. He who had always had a crush on Jennifer clicked angrily, "This girl just won an Oscar! She contributed a miraculous performance in "Sally"! But what does "Pirate" think of her? y? The lead role in a soft pornographic film that stimulates imagination with suggestive movements? From the beginning to the present, does she have a suitable line? It is all martial arts movements that can be done by splits, leg lifts, and doubles. She is a movie queen, but Showing off here? Oh my god! It's unbelievable that anyone would give her good reviews - it's a terrible movie! And her performance is lackluster!"

He shook his head sadly, "Jennifer should have rejected the script the moment she saw it - this film is of no help to her acting skills, it is destined to be a shameful failure, she is burning She was out of her mind to agree to lead the role? As clever as she was in "Sally", she is so pathetic in this film... Jennifer should be ashamed of this film!"
