"When I watched 'Hudson's Eagle,' I thought Hugo and Lancaster wouldn't be in an action movie for a long time – because I was ashamed. But surprisingly, when 'Life and Death' landed on the big screen, I had to give Hugo Lancaster a standing ovation, and like me, there were 2,000 people in attendance at the premiere. ”
Nicholas McLaen, as always, always does not forget to complain a sentence or two while praising Hugo, which has also become a major feature of him, in this film review called "Action Movie Innovation", Nicholas comments from a completely different perspective.
"Action movies, also known as thrilling action movies, are a film genre with intense thrilling action and audio-visual tension as the core, and the movie story is always unable to break out of the fixed pattern, a brave and witty protagonist confronts an incredibly dangerous situation, and after a series of intense and exciting violent fights and shootouts, to reach a victorious ending. Traditionally, action movies have been aimed at males between the ages of 15 and 35, and include fights, stunts, drag racing and explosions, with the triumph of good over evil, and the solution is often to resort to violence.
Generally speaking, action movies tend to be box office darlings, but they are less susceptible to criticism because of their overly simplistic story structure and flat portrayal of positive and negative characters.
Action movies were pushed to the peak in the 80s, and the great success of the '007' James One Bond series, the 'Die Hard' series, the 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' series, the 'First Blood' series, and the 'Terminator' series pushed the genre of movies to the extreme, from the adventure saga of the classic period to pure violence and audio-visual stimulation, and the aesthetics of violence gradually came into being, and the violence of the film moved towards gamification, machine-oriented, abstract painting and aesthetics. The powerful and indestructible contemporary heroes have pushed the stunt effects and stunt action to a more violent and crazy extreme, which has also directly led to the gradual increase in the cost of film production, reaching the extreme in 'Terminator 2': the first work in film history with an investment of more than 100 million yuan appeared.
At the same time, this also led to more criticism of action movies, with weak storylines, monotonous male heroes, flawed stories and character designs, and empty plot mining, which made critics scoff at action movies. If you sum up the action movies of recent years in one sentence, it is, 'Bang Bang, Bang Bang, Bang Bang'. Endless fights, endless explosions, plus endless fights, make up a movie.
But the advent of 'speed of life and death' has opened up a whole new world for action movies: no explosions, no fights, no special effects, no high investment, serious storytelling, and still able to create amazing action movies!
In fact, 'life and death' is not 'innovative', but rather retro, and before action movies went to extremes, the action genre of the 60s was able to shoot amazing works without high investment. "Speed of Life and Death" used its own practical actions to send a reminder to people: an investment of 28 million US dollars can still make an excellent action movie!
In the history of cinema, it is very rare for an action movie like 'Life and Death' to receive crazy praise after the premiere, not to mention that it is still a 'new' work. Director Jane Yide and Bont are just directing a film for the first time, but they are a blockbuster; Sandra Brock, Leonardo and DiCaprio are all newcomers, and with Hugo, who has risen strongly in the past two years, the performances of several leading actors are natural but mature, the style is fresh and smooth, and the coordination is perfect; The most important thing is that this work has made many innovative breakthroughs in terms of content and techniques compared to previous action movies.
The plot structure of the movie is not new, and it basically continues the tradition of action movies, with tense and intense fights, a crisis that is at a moment's notice, and romance that sprouts in life and death, this is an original action movie. But the story of 'Life and Death' offers a whole new perspective on action movies.
The film is set in a cramped bus, where time is constantly ticking, but danger is never ruled out. The bus runs in the downtown area of Los Angeles, the city is blue and white, the scenery is beautiful, a qiē looks so ordinary and ordinary, and the congested traffic in the city can be seen everywhere, but this qiē may become a lifeline for the bus, the bus has to keep the bus shuttling on the road, and there is a shadow of a bomb that may explode at any time in everyone's mind.
In general action movies, the soaring speed of the car is often a precursor to excitement, stimulating people's adrenaline, and the shuttle of drag racing is the most important moment; But in this work, the increase in speed means the arrival of death, which makes the audience's mood more and more nervous, and every change in speed maintains the danger of bombs, making people gradually reach the extreme of tension.
More importantly, Deyi Bonte chooses the scene of the story in the bus that can be accessed at any time in daily life, and the streets and scenery of the city of Los Angeles are the most important part of the movie. Deyi Bonte firmly grasps the power of this schedule of life and death speed, and successfully uses this technique in the second half of the film on the subway that is traveling to Susù, giving an all-round interpretation of speed.
The main story line is simple and clear, the plot is compact, the advance is fast, all the plots serve the main line, and the whole story line is clearly presented, which can be called a classic 'how to tell a good action movie story' tutorial, which can be described as a miracle in the history of film!
'Speed of Life and Death' can be called the best explanation for the name 'Intense Excitement', the advancement of the whole movie is without any nonsense or hesitation, clear and relaxed, creating a precedent for action movies, and telling weak stories full and exciting enough. The audience will feel the same feeling at any time they watch, and they will be more nervous than when they watched it for the first time, as if they were there again and again.
Throughout the movie, there are only a handful of fight scenes, explosion scenes, and even confrontation scenes, but the tension and excitement of the movie have not weakened at all, on the contrary, it has gradually reached its peak with the advancement of time, from elevators to buses to subways, wave after wave, so that the audience does not even have time to drink water.
It's the same simple story, the same lonely hero, and the same exciting violence, but the 'speed of life and death' is presented in a completely different and new, concise and vivid way, giving action movies a strong vitality again.
'Overly simplistic story framework and flat depiction of positive and negative characters' is the fault that film critics have always criticized for action movies, but it has been alleviated in the 'speed of life and death'.
The simple story structure, but supplemented by several story branches, and at the same time does not give the audience any breathing space on the main story line, throwing out the crises one after another, dizzying, before people react, the story is over, which makes the whole story extraordinarily full, and the story is clear in retrospect, but full of details.
Although Sandra Brock, who plays Anne, has a simple role, the image of a silly big sister who is simple but humorous, full of a sense of justice and calm, is very good under her appearance; Although Dennis Hopper, who plays Payne, does not have much room for performance, the image of the heartbroken is still very clear.
Most importantly, Hugo Lancaster, who plays Jack, uses his personal charm to perform the role completely, and the anger and grief when his teammate dies shows the importance he attaches to friendship; His cleverness and neatness in dealing with the chaotic conflicts inside the bus shows his intellect in dealing with difficulties; Calm and resolute in the face of crisis, showing his control of the emergency scene, these countless details can be found in his amber eyes, which is undoubtedly a great victory.
The movie "Speed of Life and Death" proves that limited space can still be filled with content, and limited time can still be full of details, which undoubtedly opens up a new path for action movies!
Glory to Death's attempt to break the shackles brought by grunge rock has triggered a profound discussion on rock, allowing people to appreciate rock and music from different perspectives, and then brought a new atmosphere of rock revival since 1977, driving the prosperity and prosperity of the entire rock circle.
'Vulgar' attempts to break the shackles of gangster movies and tell stories from a new perspective and in a different way, which then led to indiscriminate discussions, and 'The Godfather 2' and 'Goodfellas' later revived the boom of gangster movies and opened up a new narrative technique.
'Life and Death' tries to break the shackles of action movies and write a new chapter on the same story track, making people realize that action movies are not only adrenaline-pumping, but also visual and auditory enjoyment, making this popcorn movie truly a treat!
What role did Hugo and Lancaster play in this innovation? It's curious. ”
Nicholas's film criticism made people's eyes shine, this time he did not focus on Hugo, but from the perspective of the innovation of the whole film of "life and death", the whole genre was discussed, which undoubtedly caused a wider discussion. At the same time, it can also be seen that Nicholas's pursuit of this movie is even more conspicuous than his score of ninety-three.
After all, although the ninety-three points are high, it is still not as fierce as Nicholas who catches all types of films, you know, although Nicholas did not point it out clearly, he obviously criticized the previous classic action movies, and put "life and death" in the position of challenging countless classics!
In the eyes of some well-intentioned people, it has directly risen to the height of the showdown between the "speed of life and death" and the "true lie" that will be released a few weeks later, which has also detonated countless speculations in an instant.
