- The premiere of "Now You See Me" will naturally attract a lot of media and professional film critics. Keller is a professional film critic employed by the famous North American film review newspaper "The Hollywood Reporter". He is very well-known in the industry and has rich film review experience.
Four minutes later, Keller looked around the entire auditorium and saw that the seats were completely full. This is also an indicator of film evaluation. Popularity, publicity, box office, etc. will all affect film review scores. Keller relaxed and waited patiently for the movie to start.
The movie is finally released. Keller saw the familiar charm title and the famous ink-and-wash villain logo. Keller still remembers that when he saw "Source Code" a few years ago, he was very impressed by the ink-and-wash villain in the title sequence. Now this brand is very famous all over the world, and the title is more profound and eye-catching than before.
From the beginning of the movie, the audience is given a dazzling flower cut.
I saw the handsome male protagonist completing a series of dazzling card cuts in front of the mirror. Keller himself is a magic fan, which is why he took the initiative to apply to watch the movie here.
In Keller¡¯s eyes, the male protagonist¡¯s card-cutting action is broken down into basic card-cutting actions.
¡°First it¡¯s the card draw. Then it¡¯s Pandora, followed by the tornado, werm¡what is this? It feels like Pandora, but a little different? Is it a variant?¡tornado¡¡±
Although Keller is a fan of magic, he is not very proficient in all the cards. He watched the male protagonist cutting the cards in a cool and skillful manner. Can't help but be amazed by it.
The cutting of cards is still going on, preqel. Then comes the Pandora standard ending, and then the pressure fan
There are also magic enthusiasts in the cinema exclaiming
"Wow. Another tornado!"
¡°This snap~change is so cool!!¡±
Wait until snap~change is completed. The flower cutting was officially completed, and other spectators heard the exclamations of those spectators, and they were not aware of it.
Then the male protagonist Jesse used poker magic to show amazing magic tricks in front of countless people. As the leader of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", Jesse Eisenberg is an expert in fast poker. He was within his own control and cleverly concealed his true self under the identity of a magician. In Eisenberg's words: "He was a truly charismatic liar, a man who easily made women fall in love with him."
??Then the hypnotist uses sharp techniques to hypnotize customers, but he is just a charlatan who relies on his professional skills to "deceive and deceive". For him, making money and gaining professional recognition are the two most important things in life. Of course, being able to cooperate with beautiful women is also a physiological drive. As for other people's projection of praise or vicious eyes. As early as when he was making great achievements in the magic world, he had never been obsessed with magic. This confidence not only stems from his professional skills in mind reading and hypnosis, but also stems from his deep knowledge of the ideal destination he wants to reach.
Then there was the trickster who stole a passenger¡¯s wallet while performing magic tricks on the ship. In "Now You See Me", he is the youngest of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse". According to his own words: "This fresh-faced magician was just a naive street liar at the beginning, simply hoping to stay in those shocking places. Surprised by the magician, later. He used his hard work and flying card skills to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and earned their respect. The last one was a beautiful woman showing off her mischievous acrobatics.
Originally, the heroine in this section was arranged to sexually challenge the piranhas in the aquarium to demonstrate escape skills. But it didn¡¯t match the image of angelababy, and she was replaced by an Oriental female acrobat who was humorous, innocent and charming.
Acrobatics is very in line with the characteristics of the Chinese people, and this change fits her very well. She is an oriental female with a pure appearance. Her specialty is acrobatics and balance shows. Including a scene in the back where she walks on a tightrope between two skyscrapers, it all shows the charm of her character.
But before, as Eisenberg¡¯s assistant, I never had the opportunity to show the male self of a sexy woman. So being on an equal footing with Eisenberg made her arrogant, and she became a star-studded stage magician from the tea girl who handed props and tissues. And when she was showing off her skills on the same stage as her former boss, the corners of her mouth were raised to the top of her head.
It¡¯s a feast of magic, but maybe some people think it won¡¯t be a great movie. If you look back carefully, you will find that it is more than that.
Audiences have been saying that this is a movie about magic. However, precisely because, from the beginning and until now, I believed that this was a movie about magic. So, what is the difference between this and "being tricked by magic"?
And when high-level people look at movies outside the box of magic, there are some, and only some, people who are still immersed in the world of magic and still not convinced by the hypnosis in the movie? But they don¡¯t know that this is hypnosis. The audience¡¯s behavioral and thinking consciousness has been mobilized, that is, they are being urged.?!
Some people can step out of the box, but some people can¡¯t. Who is really hypnotized?
Especially the classic line, mentioned many times in the movie, "The closer you look, the less real it becomes." Magic is to create something that "attracts your attention", and the audience's attention is unconsciously attracted "This is a movie about magic, and it's a movie about magic in a bad way."
After watching the movie, Keller looked back and realized the hard work behind the movie and the thoughtful reminders of the lines.
And this is precisely the essence of magic. Without the belief of the audience, there is no possibility of being deceived.
He left the theater with a high score of 7.5 on IBDM, which is a very high score for a magic movie.
Wrote a long movie review: "I was deeply attracted by this movie from the beginning to the end, with the gorgeous stage, wonderful magic, thrilling racing, and the revelation of Morgan Freeman's magic. It can be said that this movie gives people almost no time to think, so after watching this movie and savoring it carefully, I suddenly found that I could not even grasp the main line of this movie. However, after walking out of the cinema, thinking carefully, in fact Movies tell you that all the time. The essence of movies: 'You can't see anything if you get close.'"
"My positioning of the movie "Now You See Me" is closer to a simple Hollywood popcorn movie. But the director did not want to take the usual Hollywood route. Suspense may be what the director wants to achieve most in this movie, Tarot cards, mysterious eyes, and strange symbols. This is a movie that uses Hollywood special effects, but also wants to have a wonderful plot like "The Prestige" or "Inception". But I have to say that Lin Xiebin, a director who is good at using big scenes in movies and created thrilling special effects movies such as "Passion and Fast 6", is indeed very creative when it comes to shooting big scenes. He is more bold in plot. His works can all It makes your heart beat faster, and so does "Now You See Me."
"Now You See Me" was released in 3,325 theaters this week, with a box office of US$48.05 million, making it the box office champion this week. This is a crime thriller packaged in magic. There was also a comedy with a similar theme, "The Magician", which had a box office of US$10.18 million in its first week. The final total score was only 2,254 US dollars, a box office failure.
"Now You See Me," released this week, performed more than four times better at the box office than its predecessor, "The Illusionist," but its subsequent development still makes people nervous.
Lin, the director of "Now You See Me", is very popular in Hollywood. Since "Furious and Furious 6" broke the global box office record last week, many film companies have wanted to ask him to direct blockbusters. It's a pity that Phantom was more decisive and offered him full conditions before his new film was released.
"In other words, two Chinese Americans talk better?" the reporter joked.
Curly Jesse Eisenberg is as fast-talking as ever. This is his second collaboration with Li Donglai.
For the film, Jesse Eisenberg, ab and others also specially learned some basic techniques and theories of magic. This film tells the story of the FBI's battle of wits with a team of the best magicians in the world. This magician team robs banks and distributes money to the audience while performing, making them stand in a legal and moral gray area. zone.
? IMDB rating 7.2. Yahoo viewers gave it four stars, and its Rotten Tomatoes rating is 63%.
The movie has certain highlights in terms of visual effects. In addition to three generations of old, middle-aged and young people, plus Chinese beauties and French beauties, the gorgeous magic scenes are also very exciting, but in other aspects the film's performance is very average. The design of the magic part is a bit old-fashioned. The craftsmanship is where the film shines.
"Charlotte Observer" commented: "Compared with the Oscar-winning film "The Usual Suspects" for best screenplay, this film may not be the most satisfying crime drama, but the gap is not huge." "Entertainment Weekly": "In some ways, this film is even better than Christopher Nolan's 'The Conjuring.'"
"ReelViews": "It is on the same level as "Ocean's Eleven", and the cast is also of Oscar quality. The total number of nominations received by the actors has reached 15." "TheA.V. Club": "The Magician" This version of "Ocean's Eleven" is full of childlike deception, making the audience happy to follow the characters and be fooled."
"Variety" commented: "Thanks to the beautiful tricks and attractive cast combination, this magic version of Ocean's Eleven is still worth watching, although its potential is far from being fully unleashed."
There is no doubt that the box office of 48.05 million US dollars in the first weekend allows this medium-cost film to make a sequel without any worries.
During the same period, Return to Earth opened in 3,401 theaters, but its box office results wereWith only $27 million, it was the runner-up at the box office this week. It stands to reason that if father and son join forces, the film will be a big hit at the box office, but this is not the case. This film is a rare waterloo in Will Smith's acting career. It seems that this time he was held back by his son.
Will Smith has always wanted to make a movie with director M-Night Shyamalan, but has never been able to find a suitable subject. This movie gave them an opportunity. However, Shyamalan's decision to film this film was hired by Smith himself, not by the studio. This is in line with the saying "poor parents in the world".
This film is the second time that Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith have played father and son on the screen. The first time was in the film "The Pursuit of Happyness" seven years ago, when Jaden was only eight years old. That movie had a box office of US$26.54 million in its first week, and a total of US$164 million. The investment in the film was only US$55 million, and it was very successful at the box office.
Although "Back to Earth" did not make much noise at the box office and cannot be compared with "The Pursuit of Happiness", Jaden Smith won the 22nd MTV Movie Award this year for this film. Nominated for Best Summer Teen Action Star, this can be considered a small consolation to dad Smith.
The IMDB score is 5.1, the Yahoo audience gave it two and a half stars, and the Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating is 12%.
Although the film invested a lot of money, the special effects are not even inferior to those of the previous "The Last Airbender". As a science fiction film, the visual effects are sloppy. The young actors' lack of acting experience is also one of the shortcomings of the film. However, Will Smith's performance is still wonderful, but the only thing worthy of praise is not enough to be worth the ticket price.
¡°I want two tickets for Now You See Me.¡±, ¡°Four tickets for Now You See Me.¡±, ¡°Give me four tickets for Now You See Me for Phantom.¡±, ¡°One ticket for Now You See Me. "Thieves Group"."
As night falls, the 33,525 North American theaters are very popular. They are not as deserted as the summer cold season when there is a lack of blockbuster movies. However, the ticket sellers who give out tickets clearly know that they are either watching "Furious and Fast 6" or watching "Furious and Fast 6". From "Now You See Me".
After this movie, Phantom made another Chinese actress famous in Hollywood.
Angelababy quickly became popular in North America after Lin Zhiling and Bing Bingfan. He also appeared on several talk shows in a row.
