Chapter 1: Kaleidoscope special effects open a new chapter in Marvel comics? From the evaluation of Doctor Strange in Captain Sully: Miracle of Landing, The Strange Children's Home of Miss Baifuqin and Accounting to Doctor Strange, the recent films have a feeling that people want to say a thousand words, but they don't know where to start at the moment, so after watching these films, they didn't leave a few words for the first time. Because the advantages of these films are actually their shortcomings, they all meet the author's expectations to varying degrees, but they all stay at this stage and lack some unexpected surprises. Now, let's talk about Doctor Strange, which just ended last Thursday.
Doctor Strange is a work with a broader and grander world outlook than the films made by Marvel Comics in the past, but its plot setting is not unique. It's not the first time that the most interesting and easy-to-create time-travel elements in movies have appeared on the big screen. From where? Xiao Li? Classmate (Leonardo DiCaprio) Inception, who is deeply immersed in the space of consciousness? Brother Tom? (Tom Cruise) Edge of Tomorrow, that is endless death and life, and then what? Bond girl? (Eva Green) We can find similar settings for Miss Bird's children's fantasy world, which is restarted regularly, and the space reincarnation in Raytheon 2: Dark World, a sub-series independent film released by Marvel Universe. Therefore, in the process of watching this Doctor Strange, we often enter a state of drama and think of other movies. Fortunately, the film itself inherits the consistent strengths of Marvel comic film production. The precise rhythm, successful atmosphere and humorous language adjustment make these deja vu elements play a brand-new temperament again and bring people's attention back to the story. Coupled with gorgeous and eye-catching audio-visual effects, this movie makes people feel like Iron Man in Marvel Comics, and it opened its movie era in minutes.
Back to the plot of Doctor Strange, we have to praise the first Iron Man movie, which successfully set a good example for Marvel Comics to make its ace role famous on the big screen. Later, other independent films of Marvel comics sub-series, such as Thor, Captain America and Ant Man, were more or less in the plot.
Doctor Strange, the hero, pursues extreme self-esteem and narcissism before misfortune, which is almost equivalent to Tony Stark's state before becoming Iron Man. In other words, geniuses are mostly self-centered. ? After experiencing the process of re-understanding the world after the change, Doctor Strange is also full of Iron Man-style self-redemption, and then realizes the supreme wizard? Koichi? Doctor Strange's road to cultivation is almost the same as Tony Stark's way of becoming Iron Man, only two conceited people, one makes his skilled mind play a bigger role, and the other completely subverts his previous understanding and enters a magical field unknown to most people. The most interesting thing is that they even faced opponents with their abilities. Thankfully, in so many stylized plots, this Doctor Strange managed to achieve one. New? Words, make the viewer full of interest. It incorporates more fantasy colors. The hero's body can't recover after being hit hard, leaving him in a state of collapse, expecting a miracle of recovery, and he won't know how ignorant he is about the world until he really gets a miracle. ...
For friends who like parallel universe and time travel, this Doctor Strange is enough to satisfy all kinds of guesses and fantasies about unknown states that may exist in the known world. Wizards who travel freely in time and space have comprehensively promoted the wonderful world built by all the sub-series independent films before Marvel Comics. Just like the brand-new logo screen of Marvel Pictures in this movie, it begins to tell how a magician who travels freely through time and space was first cultivated with the idea of gathering many parallel worlds. Through this modern myth, people's original impression of Marvel comics has been refreshed again. Although Raytheon before this was also a fantasy work in Marvel comic superhero series, it was still not as shocking as Doctor Strange. Because Thor is talking about a real god, any miracle is taken for granted by Saul, the protagonist, not to mention such a trivial matter as traveling through time and space, while Doctor Strange is discussing whether human ability can reach the level of God.
Several acting geniuses who participated in this film are all very good actors, which shows that the actors themselves contain personal charm. Queen? Tilda Swinton as the supreme wizard? Koichi? (in ancient times), every gesture is full of the spirit of external sages, giving people a cold and profound impression. Meanwhile, what seems to be hiding? On purpose? . ? Volume blessing? Benedict cumberbatch's "Doctor Strange" shows a cold humor from time to time in generate, from the beginning, he was completely confused about the situation to endless curiosity; In contrast, Dr. Hannibal mikkelsen seems a little wasteful. The villain provided by Marvel comics does not have much three-dimensional and rich performance space, and the performance of doing bad things is not as memorable as the mutual joy formed by him and Doctor Strange in the battle. Baron Mordo, a black actor who looks a bit like "Panther" played by chiwetel ejiofor, should be regarded as the most impacted role in the whole movie. His settings in this film once again highlight one of the advantages of Marvel Comics in bringing its comic works to the big screen? Leave enough space for future hotspots to pave the way and evolve. Even those who have never seen Doctor Strange's cartoon will realize his important position in the next Doctor Strange film after watching the intriguing second egg at the end of the film.
With the development of digital special effects technology, today's movies pay more and more attention to the gorgeous and complex pictures. The most anticipated audio-visual performance of "Doctor Strange" didn't disappoint the expecters at all. The light, shadow and spatial special effects used in the whole movie have surpassed the highest level in the history of Marvel comic films, especially when the space overlaps, which is as amazing as seeing the picture in a kaleidoscope for the first time when I was a child. More interestingly, the special effects are not only dazzling and cool, but also glow with vivid and lovely texture. The most typical is the cloak that is predestined friends with Doctor Strange. Under the wonderful special effects, it is not a dead thing in soy sauce, but a spiritual corner. Excellent body language can not help but remind people of the understanding little magic carpet in the classic cartoon Aladdin, which is the surprising existence of Doctor Strange.
Generally speaking, "Doctor Strange" is a very competent opening film, and the smooth story clues quickly make people enter another world of the new image of Marvel comics. Its appearance, like the first Iron Man movie of that year, aroused people's new interest and brought new vitality and vision to the aging Marvel movie universe. With the appearance of this film, we can almost foresee that the third stage of the Marvel universe will also formally change from the sci-fi era to the fantasy era. After all, to deal with Thanos's godlike role, it is definitely difficult to deal with the fighting capacity of ordinary human heroes alone. So the first egg at the end of the film is centered around the next fantasy work of Marvel Comics, Raytheon 3: Twilight of the Gods ... to show this dazzling and mysterious atmosphere. The composer who won the Oscar for Upward created an unfathomable sense of unease and a magnificent sense of epic with the rhythm of military pressure and the melody of the coming rain. With the mysterious and strange outdoor scenes in Nepal and Hong Kong, he sketched a magical picture of time and space, and the huge parallel universe view outline of Marvel comics began to appear, heading for Avenger.
Chapter Two: Doctor Strange: Long-term Boldness and Conservatism. No movie can really hold 3D and giant screen.
It is pleasing to the eye and colorful, just like a dream trip, and the audio-visual effect of the film is absolutely affordable? Strange? Two words.
This is a very Marvel comic film, with almost the same plot trend, ups and downs of rhythm, and even timely golden sentences and small humor, which makes people feel the maturity and efficiency of the Marvel comic film production system. Behind this is a very successful commercial war, which has gone through two huge stages, and a group of comic heroes have risen. This time, they want to let more relatively unpopular characters enter the mainstream.
This is another Marvel comic film that makes people feel different. Its exploration and innovation in visual effects have made the audience feel the so-called? Wondering? Charming.
Today, computer special effects technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the characters created in movies are lifelike from skin texture to flowing hair and even micro-expressions. In the big scene, the city is full of fire, the waves are rolling and the sky is falling, and all extreme scenes have become ordinary creations; Superheroes, whether they fight one-on-one or fight in groups, are nothing more than getting bigger and smaller and flying around. What else can make the audience sigh and surprise? There is only one answer: imagination.
Some imagination is rooted in the story, and the whimsical plot is fascinating. But "Doctor Strange" takes a more direct route, and almost 99% of its efforts are devoted to the construction of the screen.
Combined with Doctor Strange's story, the visual effect of the film is divided into two levels: space and time.
Such a theme seems familiar in Nolan's films. The repeatedly divided and folded space is reminiscent of Inception, and the visualization of time control is like the popular version of Interstellar.
However, Doctor Strange combined the control of space and time with powerful images.
As a result, the movie blew up on video.
Even the demanding audience must admit that when you think that these comic heroes are at the end of their tether and can't do anything new in special effects, Doctor Strange once again brings surprises.
Many shots basically copy the experience of taking psychedelic drugs, but fortunately, the audience doesn't have to really take drugs, but this high point, which exceeds the critical value of ordinary viewing, once again opens the gap between ordinary big screen and giant screen viewing, and distinguishes the differences in hardware experience through the creation of visual effects of the movie itself, which is an important symbol of a good movie itself.
However, movies like Doctor Strange are still restricted by the Marvel comic system.
Tibet to Nepal, from one side of the Himalayas to the other, may be just a business negotiation to avoid risks, but the plainness of the story is in stark contrast to the bold imagination in the vision. The role of Doctor Strange has a little bit of everything, such as pride, kindness, stubbornness, cleverness, and an unspeakable extreme side. With a sexy little beard, it is easy to collide with Stark, but strictly speaking, the character building is far less rich than Iron Man's personality. Fu Juan's acting skills are beyond reproach. The American English he deliberately learned is true, and all kinds of subtle emotions are in place, but Fu Juan can even voice the dragon. Of course, this is not a question of performance, but when a protagonist is given a supporting role and props (cloak), we have to reflect on whether the plot of the film is too routine and not enterprising. The announcement of the film has always said that Marvel Comics has been waiting for the project to be postponed in order to leave this role to Fu Juan, but now it seems that such a treasure can't make the best use of it, which is a pity.
So I naturally mentioned Gu Yi, the most brilliant character in the whole movie. No matter the shape, lines, movements or Tilda's excellent performance, it gave this character too much charm. Even though there were few scenes, Tilda performed a rich ancient story in a limited time. She transcends time and is almost immortal, but she lingers for a brief moment in the world.
I can even ignore the superficial American oriental metaphysics theory and the experience of cultivating immortals in the movie, just because Gu Yi is mysterious and indifferent, and the so-called immortals are hidden in the city, which is convenient.
The final battle of the film is different from the previous hero movies, and it has some anti-climax meaning, but whether the audience accepts this treatment will probably be divided.
In a word, Doctor Strange is definitely a new and excellent Marvel comic film. Especially in the third stage, in the case of countless superhero movies pouring in and DC chasing after them, it can still surprise people, which is really commendable.
As for the story, we can certainly look forward to it, but we can't ask too much. After all, this is just a comic book movie and a symbol of Disney's family entertainment. It is very valuable to do some limited philosophical thinking about time and life. It has never been to a film festival to win an award. For an actor with a halo like Fu Juan, this is just a pity. The role of Doctor Strange should have a stronger sense of existence. He needs a more distinctive personality, such as Xing Jun, or Shylock or Turing, rather than a simple version of Stark, relying on a cloak that can sell cute.
Fortunately, the movie got off to a good start, the word-of-mouth rose and the box office opened higher. Doctor Strange will soon join hands with Thor, who belongs to the same magic, and a new sequel is estimated to have been put on the agenda. All we have to do is watch one by one calmly.
