1. Plot
The film mainly tells the story of a mechanical girl who is lucky to be born again. In order to explore the truth of the matter, she embarked on the road of fighting.
The characters in the film are set reasonably. A mechanical girl, with the transformation of a doctor, has a sense of taste of ordinary people. When I saw Alita eating fruit, I thought, how is this possible? Robots don't need to eat, haha ... I learned later that this is to highlight the development of technology and technology, so that Alita can have the same affection and love as ordinary people. I have to say that the screenwriter still wants to send it.
Among them, the story is also designed reasonably, and Hugo plays a guiding role in the film, guiding Alita to her deep-seated goals step by step.
2. Film special effects
The special effects in this film are still very good, especially Alita's facial expressions and movements, which can be directly seen by the audience, which is a highlight of this film. When Alita was fighting, the special effects were also great. Although she is small and thin, she is very sensitive and explosive. This is what this film wants to show each of us, and each of us has unlimited power.
The film cost $654.38+700 million. I feel that the film has shown its own characteristics to the audience without reservation, whether it is the feelings of the characters or the wonderful fighting scenes.
This is my opinion. Welcome to leave a message
Many bright spots
For example, this time Alita itself is the biggest highlight. CG character production has a long history, and many people have tried it, but few works are as successful as Alita. It's not easy to make this film alone.
In the plot, many plots of the film pay tribute to the original, that is, many shots are highly restored to the original, which shows that the creative staff really moved their minds.
The scrap metal town in the movie is also well restored. In the original work, the scrap iron town is a "wasteland" with mountains of garbage and sewage, but in the film, the scrap iron town is beautified. After all, the film is a global market, and it can't be just for the original powder, so this may not completely follow the original, but from the perspective of the film, we must adapt to this, otherwise it is estimated that the audience will be uncomfortable.
Undoubtedly, the highlight of Alita-Fighting Angel lies in its CG special effects, which represents the highest level of visual special effects in the world film industry at present. Its production team is the famous Vita digital team, which has won five Oscars for best visual effects. Avatar and The Lord of the Rings are both from their hands. Cameron strives for perfection in every detail, from scene creation to human hair. Not to mention The Lord of the Rings, who is superior to Avatar in technology, scene and cost. Alita's facial muscle movements are about three times more than Nitini, the heroine of Avatar, and the pixels of Alita's eyes are many times higher than Gollum in The Lord of the Rings.
Cameron spent 65,438+00 years preparing this film, which is his dream. Alita-Fighting Angel has a huge world view in the original comic book gunnm, and the description of the future world is amazing. The "protagonist" keeps growing in repeated battles, adversity and setbacks, redeems himself and becomes a stronger person. This is a story about growing up.
Many people think that the plot of Alita-Fighting Angel has become the "criticism" of the whole movie, but I think what Cameron really wants us to see is the effect of this movie. Is that all? Actually, it's not. What he wants to show us is that the film "From Comics, Above Comics" tells the story of powerful female characters changing and growing step by step. It's something deeper, but maybe we haven't found it yet.
The biggest highlight of the fighting angel is Norton at the end. He has kept a low profile in recent years, but the play is really good. Yale high flyers, son of a consortium, first year of acting, and then mentioned the Oscar.
Slight flinch, fear and hesitation, coupled with the two-way deep budding innocent eyes, the audience decided that he was the same victim as the protagonist. But when the dust settled, he smiled with evil confidence and overturned everything.
People once suspected that the role prototype in Tang Detective came from here.
Cameron admits that this film has "the most advanced screening effect, the most amazing visual effect and incredible sound". She not only used the top performance capture technology, but also made 47 hairstyles in role modeling, including more than 654.38+0.32 million hairs, 2000 eyebrows and 480 eyelashes. 7 1 piece of digital special effects clothing, using 125 different ways of wearing; More than 2500 fixed facial expressions make up her various expressions; An eye is composed of nearly 9 million pixels, and the whole eyeball structure is completely built. According to statistics, Alita's disk space in Vita is three times that of Avatar, and 30,000 computers are used to calculate and render special effects scenes, totaling 432 million hours.
Visual effect, in the words of ordinary people, is how beautiful the picture is, and what is needed behind it is the combination of technology and art. Many people think that technology has arrived and art has not reached the deadline.
This film does not shy away from idealism or reality. In a way, I jumped out of the Hollywood routine. Alita's passionate speech in the bar is exactly the same as the well-known hero movie routine, but the next scene is not the gathering of responders, but the uncontrollable laughter of the indifferent audience. It's not sarcasm, it's joke laughter. Yes, what a naive little girl, asking selfish human beings to unite for justice. When idealism hits the rocks, there is not so much response, and most people look on coldly is the most correct way to open it.
The discussion of human nature in movies is also worth pondering. No matter how kind a teenager is, he will sell human organs (mechanically) for money; The big man tried to kill Alita in the bar and stabbed a bounty hunter to death. Others suddenly became silent, letting the bad guys do whatever they want, while Alita, the dog they knew by the roadside, bravely stood up and cried. The devil group blatantly sold and murdered people, and the game scene became an arena. The audience cheered at the scene of the murder. The cowardice and evil of human nature are vividly displayed.
However, the film does not avoid the soul flash of human nature. It turned out that the indifferent bounty hunter took the hound with him after the dog was tortured to death; Hugo was influenced by Alita, determined not to do evil again, and prevented his partner from continuing to sink; The ex-wife of a doctor who works for the villain group finally turned against Alita and Hugo in order to return to the upper class life. These contradictory and true human natures enrich the characters and ensure the ideological depth of the story.
Cameron, the name itself is synonymous with the special effects feast, and even overshadowed the director's limelight. So it goes without saying that it is normal for Hollywood movies to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on special effects, and this investment is not the highest. There is no doubt that vision and special effects are the top level in the world. The only regret of the film may be the criticized plot. In the plot, the film abandons the depth of the conflict between the Gunn people and society in the original work, and turns to a popcorn route of personal heroism, which is very enjoyable as an audience, but after the film, there may be only one sentence "Alita". Lost the core connotation and social significance of the original work.
The box office of Alita: Fighting Angel on the first day of its release in mainland China exceeded 65.438+32 billion yuan, far exceeding the North American premiere box office, showing how vast the domestic film market is. Douban, popcorn, M station media and other ratings vary greatly. Douban users also have different comments, some say that the special effects are really not good, and the plot is even less ideal. It is not recommended to make a sequel. Actually, I don't think the special effects are particularly brilliant. If the plot is great, you can ignore the influence of special effects a little, but the plot is really not so good. Maybe our expectations are too high, or maybe our appetite is too unruly, but this is my true impression. If you analyze it positively, it is purely a personal problem. The overall special effects are ok. After all, Cameron is here, and the visual effect is still great. His imagination is also very rich, animation special effects are very realistic, and the combination with real mechanical special effects is more exquisite. The music effect is also good, and the climax part is a little unhappy, which may be a foreshadowing for the future. The overall feeling is still quite cool!
The overall picture of the movie Alita: Fighting Angel is wonderful, with many scenes, a heroine with golden fingers and fragmentary plots interspersed among them (not enough at all). After reading it, the overall feeling is that the girl only gave us a small head for the two-hour trailer. The real irony is the sharp contrast between the girl's body and the steel that transforms people, and the sharp contrast between the sincere and pure heart and the selfish greed hidden everywhere. Only in the comic world can the girl strongly and directly protect herself from harm.
