Reflections are articles written about specific feelings and revelations obtained after watching a movie or TV series. The so-called "feeling" can be the truth or exquisite thoughts learned from the work, it can be the thinking and association inspired by the content of the work, it can be the determination and ideal inspired by watching, or it can be the result of watching. and caused criticism of certain ugly phenomena in society. The following is my review of Escape, please refer to it! After watching Escape 1
On the afternoon of July 23, 2016, I went to China Film DFC Cinemas alone to watch the 3D movie "Escape". I bought it on the Spider Web APP during the 10-yuan Pudong Development Credit Card Promotion on Wednesday. . Before going to the cinema, I used the QR code picture of Moji Weather given by my friend to go to McDonald's and exchanged it for a medium-sized Sprite to drink for free. The weather lately is like going out for 5 minutes and sweating for 2 hours. There is a new foreign name in Shanghai called Yoshi Nietzsche, and there are basically fewer people who touch porcelain, because don’t fall when you go out, otherwise you will easily get burned. The girls put on makeup for an hour and soon went bare-faced after opening the door. It is said that African friends have returned to their countries to escape the summer heat. This movie also stars Jackie Chan. It's not easy for him to retire at such an old age. He has to play one less movie. Fortunately, I have a family. Otherwise, when I get old, I will have pain everywhere except no one. Another thing that people talk about is not Jackie Chan's illegitimate daughter or his relationship with Teresa Teng, but that the products endorsed by Jackie Chan basically have problems. I endorsed Little Overlord, but Little Overlord went bankrupt; I endorsed Aido VCD, and the CEO of Aido went to jail; I endorsed Fenhuang Coke, but Fenhuang Coke is gone; I endorsed Caddy, and only over 900 units were sold nationwide, and production was discontinued; I endorsed Bawang shampoo , it was found that Bawang causes cancer; she endorsed Missing Dumplings, but they were found to contain germs and was removed from the shelves; she endorsed Japan's Mitsubishi Motors, but a recall occurred; she served as China's anti-drug image ambassador, but her son took drugs... Jackie Chan, the whole country calls you. Representing real estate! Let’s get down to business and talk about movies.
The story tells the story of Hong Kong detective Benny Chen Hongsheng who has been following the underworld boss Victor Wong for more than ten years, and found the key witness in order to collect evidence of his crime. Connor was framed, and the man he took care of was framed. The partner's daughter Bai Shu was involved. In this "desperate escape" attacked from three sides by the police, Victor Wang, and the Russian gang, it becomes confusing how the two will end this adventure.
The film was shot in 6 locations including Beijing, Guangxi, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Macau and Russia, and used 4 studios to ultimately present more than 70 main scenes. It adds a strong exotic flavor to Benny and Donner's adventures, which are full of laughter, thrills and cultural conflicts. This time, Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville are the main actors in more scenes. Jackie Chan has heavy bags under his eyes and is tired when fighting. He is obviously not as agile as when he was young. Fan Bingbing and Eric Tsang don't have many scenes and don't have many opportunities to perform. Zhao Wenxuan plays a bad guy again this time, which reminds me of his sanctimonious villain in "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon" and the funny fairy in "Unexpectedly". I really feel that there is no room for performance in this role. Zhang Lanxin, who has taekwondo skills, has no lines this time, but the fight is still reminiscent of the long-legged and fierce performance in "Zodiac". The handsome Kuo Pinchao only showed up for a short time and then left to collect his lunch box. Another young actor Shi Shi has a good image and is expected to have more opportunities to star in other movies next time after joining the cast. Director Renny Harlin is a commercial film director who has directed films such as "Die Hard 2" and "Ambush". This movie feels like an adventurous road comedy kung fu movie. The story should reflect the spirit of keeping one's word and keeping one's word. The watch that Benny always wears represents the promise to his brother. A few funny gags were okay, and the performance of the two female thugs was okay. The design of the villain Matador dying twice is too weird. Therefore, the low online ratings should be due to the weak plot. When I was a kid, I watched Jackie Chan's movies in a style of kung fu comedy that was pretty cool. Although it was a routine, it was very dangerous to go into battle without a stand-in. It was this fighting spirit that made the world remember Jackie Chan and his kung fu movies. From this point of view, I definitely want to give it a try. During this filming, eight people accidentally fell into the water. Among them, the 51-year-old cameraman Chen Guoxiong died after unsuccessful rescue efforts. This shows the hard work and danger of the staff behind the film. I give it a 3.5 out of 5 points. Friends who like Jackie Chan comedies can check it out. Afterthoughts of "Escape 2"
After a period of promotion, "Escape" finally started to be screened yesterday. The film was shelved when it was preparing to be released in December last year, possibly due to the impact of "Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens."
During the Spring Festival, I may have lacked confidence, so I pushed it again and again, and it was not released until July, the domestic protection month. As a fan of Jackie Chan, my mother has been looking forward to it for half a year. Anyway, this movie is finally released.
Jackie Chan is a person who loves domestic films and hopes that domestic films will be promoted. Even in recent years, he has been filming "Army of Heaven" and later on the co-production of "The World of Dragons". What impressed me most was the passionate words he said after watching the screening of "Heroes": "I hope you will go to the cinema more often to support domestic films." Jackie Chan's films have been labeled as "patriotic educational films", which I don't agree with. I feel I cannot agree. You said that patriotic educational films are divided into "One Hundred Regiments", "The Founding of the People's Republic" and so on, and Jackie Chan is the latter kind of patriotic film with strong commercial nature. While having fun with yourself, you might as well promote some positive energy, such as the national chorus of "Heavenly Generals" and "Twelve Zodiac Signs". I don't think there is anything wrong with patriotic films, so put them in some "Looking for the Dragon" or "The Divine Bird" In fact, the effect is the same, but Jackie Chan's way of expressing it is a bit straightforward (compared to the previous films, this film is not preachy). Everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables. The audience may not be so obsessed with Jackie Chan, but they won't hate him either. At least the attitude is sincere. I have always felt that it is better not to have such high expectations for movies, as there are often good surprises.
Speaking of national choruses, the film "Escape" (I think it is better called "Cross-Border Hunt") also has a national chorus, which once again shows Mr. Jackie Chan's efforts for friendship between various countries. Previously, the magnificent "Heroes of the Desert" promoted national unity in Xinjiang. This time, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" was sung, which once again demonstrated the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures.
As far as this film is concerned, it is actually not an exaggeration to say that it is Jackie Chan’s renovated version of Police Story. After all, the last film "Police Story 2013" was too heavy. Audiences who are accustomed to Jackie Chan's relaxed, funny and flexible action movies will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. "Jade Break" can also be regarded as Jackie Chan's return, and it feels like Just like the dying Double D girl was resurrected with full blood, he was back full of passion. A great Hong Kong actor! He has inherited the fine tradition of Hong Kong actors. Chen Hongsheng, Fang Shilong, and Chen Yuanlong are all possessed by their souls at this moment! Jackie Chan alone represents the long history and tradition of Hong Kong movies. At this moment, he is not fighting alone! He is not alone!
Indeed, Johnny Knoxville, as the second male lead in this film, is a good match for Jackie Chan. He also has a certain amount of talking skills, and more importantly, he can also fight. He is not a boy who can only talk and escape. To say that the presence is definitely much higher than that of Fan Bingbing, who is ranked second in the cast, and the funny jokes are not as boring as the one I copied Huang Jianxiang's joke above.
Judging from the direction of the plot (or there is no plot at all), I think "Escape" should be scheduled around the Spring Festival. After all, I heard that the minimum guarantee for this film is 1 billion. With so many people, During the lively Spring Festival, when even an old cinema near my home is packed with people, it is undoubtedly a good choice. Obviously, the publisher may have overestimated the strength of "Macau Storm 3" and "Journey to the West: Three Fighting Bone Demons". If it is based on today's Mandarin dubbing (yes, it is Mandarin dubbing), although the cast is a bit weaker, it is comparable to the 700 million of my "Heroes" a few years ago. But whether it can exceed 1 billion is another matter. After all, I bought a special ticket and went in. When the venue was almost full, whether it was 40*100 or 15.9*100, only the people above knew this. In the past two years, "Monster Hunt", "Ip Man 3" and "The Mermaid" have hit the box office. Although I am just a satisfied audience who can go to the cinema cheaply to watch movies, then the distributor must have underestimated Douban Rating.com Although if you are really interested, you will probably watch it, but it will inevitably affect the mood of watching the movie: on the one hand, the review is so low that you don’t want to watch it, on the other hand, you will simply lower your expectations and you will be disappointed. It has unexpected effects. My thoughts after watching the movie "Escape". My thoughts after watching the movie "Escape". To sum up, it is said that gold will always shine. I personally feel that although the quality of these three films is not good, they are still passable in today's movies. At least they are more watchable than the "Tiny Times" series.
Jackie Chan still works hard. In the behind-the-scenes clips, it can be seen that some of the actions may be too much. I personally think that the basic method of making movies is to be sincere. This has become more and more important for Jackie Chan in recent years. Among the films produced this year, all are domestic films - leaving aside literary and artistic films like "Roadside Picnic" here, and more importantly, commercial films - they are all among the best. The recently released "Cold War 2" digs holes just for the sake of digging holes, which inevitably makes people question whether it is a money scam like "Equator". At least the first part of "Chill War" I think it can be skipped. 2 filled in 1 pit, and a new pit was dug.
Unknowingly, Jackie Chan is already an old man in his sixties. Chen Gangsheng in "Escape" likes to raise alpacas and likes their unrestrained nature. Rather than feeling distressed to see Jackie Chan fight, let's see if there is a successor. I believe that if I see this, my elder brother can retire with peace of mind.
