Chapter 504: Burning the brain, I can't understand
Starting from the scene where the plane blows up the building, the director no longer intends to let the audience's brains rest for a while, and starts the whole process with high energy. The forward and reverse action fights in the red and blue channels, the chase scene on the highway, especially the scene where the fire truck comes out
For a moment, accompanied by intense electronic music, the whole theater exploded.
The protagonist played by Lee Hyuk went through the reversal gate for the first time, and the reverse world was shown to the audience for the first time. The disappearing small pool, the birds flying in the opposite direction, and the pedestrians walking backwards, everything broke the audience's conventional understanding.
From here, the plot becomes more brain-burning and exciting. After Nolan listened to Li Hyuk's suggestions, although the plot is still very brain-burning, it also firmly attracts the audience through the intense and hot action scenes. So even if the audience is a little confused when watching the plot, but
It's enough to watch Lee Hyuk act cool on the screen, and there are many big scenes, so it's worth the price of admission.
Jiang Lei followed the plot and suddenly discovered that it was a big loop plot. The protagonist and Neil took Kate through the reversal gate again, came to the Oslo Airport warehouse, and then had a fight with himself.
Although it was the same fight scene, Jiang Lei, who had done some research on movie footage, discovered that the first fight scene followed the protagonist without a mask as the main point of view, while the second scene followed the protagonist with a mask as the main point of view.
The fight scene. Such a fight scene cannot be shot backwards, which means that "Tenet" was filmed twice.
Jiang Lei guessed right. This forward and reverse fighting scene was indeed filmed twice, and it tortured Li He quite hard at the time.
Afterwards, the plot reached the climax of the whole play, with the red and blue time pincer offensive fighting. The chaotic battlefields of various colors dazzled the audience. In the middle of the battlefield, a building was blown up by both the red and blue sides at the same time, which brought an unparalleled excitement to the audience.
visual experience.
The final plot made Mengnan cry. Neil was the protagonist who was sent from the future to help the protagonist complete the mission. Neil blocked the bullet for the protagonist in the exploding underground cave, opened the iron door, and then died.
"What will happen if you don't go back?"
"What happened happened, it's not an excuse for us to escape."
"You haven't told me who recruited you?"
"Haven't you guessed it yet? It's you, not when you think it is, but in your future and my past, me many years ago and you many years later."
"Have you known me for many years?"
"For me, this is the best ending for our friendship."
"It's just the beginning for me..."
"It starts with something evil, you'll love it. I promise, the whole operation is a pincer movement in time."
"who?"
"Yours, you're only halfway there, I'm waiting for you at the starting point, brother."
Watching Neil board the fatal plane, the protagonist had tears in his eyes, but did not try to stop it. As Neil said, what happened happened.
Jiang Lei wiped his tears. Although he still didn't understand some parts of the plot, it was worthwhile for him to understand this part of the story. Li Hyuk's female fans in the theater also wiped their tears, although most of the female fans
I didn’t even understand what this video was about, but it was worth it just to see Li Hyuk’s handsome face.
After walking out of the cinema, Jiang Lei returned home. Due to the epidemic, school did not start at this time, so he has stayed at home from the Chinese New Year until now.
After watching "Creed", Jiang Lei was filled with emotions and couldn't help but post a message on WeChat Moments along with stills from "Creed".
"I just came out of the cinema and went to watch the latest science fiction action movie "Tenet" starring Li Hyuk. This movie is the new work of my favorite director Nolan. It maintains a high standard as always and is also a leader among original science fiction movies.
, I recommend everyone to go to the cinema and watch this movie.”
Just after I posted it on WeChat Moments, several classmates and friends left messages there. Some said this movie is a masterpiece, some said it was a relatively mediocre movie, and some said it was a bad movie. Watch it.
Can't go down.
Jiang Lei is not surprised, because this movie is indeed very difficult to understand during the viewing process. After watching it once, there are still many things he did not understand. He plans to watch it again tomorrow. It is expected that the reputation of this movie will be polarized.
.
Jiang Lei's prediction was correct. After the film premiered, the Douban rating was immediately lifted, with an initial score of 8.6. Most of the viewers gave it five stars, a few gave it one star, and almost four, three, and two stars.
No.
The film reviews below are also polarized. Except for Li Hyuk's fans who are brainless, the positive and negative reviews are almost 70 to 30. Except for the brainless comments, they are almost 50 to 50.
However, for female viewers, even if they don’t understand the plot, just seeing the looks of Lee Hyuk and Robert Pattinson is enough, so many movie reviews actually praise their looks. Male viewers are more scientific.
Thinking, pay more attention to the plot, and some elders who think they understand have begun to analyze the plot.
The UP owners in the film and television area on Bilibili plan to watch the film a few more times and then publish a plot analysis video. Including die-hard Li Chui Maituo, after releasing a preview video of "Creed", he watched "Creed" three times on the day of the premiere.
Creed", but still don't understand it.
She also worked hard to analyze the future. At the cost of two meals, she invited her good friend, who was studying for a master's degree in physics, to come over to watch the movie, and then analyzed the video for herself.
This old man was originally very disdainful of "Tenet" and "traveling back time". But after watching the movie once, he became completely obsessed with it and watched it three or four times with Mai Tuo.
Based on the combined plot, I even wrote a 30,000-word analytical essay. Mai Tuo was dumbfounded after reading the essay. She didn't expect that there were so many chapters in the movie, and she didn't understand it at all before.

In fact, the film has tried its best to make the audience understandable, but the complex plot is still harder to understand than "Inception" because "Tenet" is not a traditional three-part structure, but an unusual large loop structure.
It is normal for word-of-mouth to be polarized. When the enthusiasm subsides and rationality returns, it is estimated that the rating will remain around 8.0, which is considered an excellent commercial film.
"Tenet" has an investment of US$200 million. Although word-of-mouth is important, box office is more important. At Nolan's home in Los Angeles, China's latest box office data came over. Nolan was eating breakfast, and Emma Thomas handed over the latest box office data.
Report.
Nolan took a look, nodded and said: "Not bad, the box office on the first day was 233 million, which is already considered a high box office at this time."
The box office of 233 million RMB is converted into more than 30 million US dollars. This is the box office on the first day. In this case, the box office in China may exceed 100 million US dollars in the first weekend. With the box office in other regions around the world, 200 million in the first weekend is not a problem.
In the next screening cycle, the film will earn more than 400 million U.S. dollars, and the box office will have paid back. Thinking of this, Nolan felt relieved. To be honest, he was actually a bit willful in the production of this film.
, to make movies according to his own ideas, but he overestimated the audience and also overestimated himself.
Nolan did not shoot the film so that the audience can understand it. He thought that the audience could understand it, but in fact many viewers would not understand it unless they watched it three or four times.
If the production cost of the film is 20 million U.S. dollars, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. But the production cost of the film is 200 million U.S. dollars, which is considered a high-investment film among commercial blockbusters. If it cannot be recovered
The cost was also a big blow to Nolan.
Nolan thought of Li Hyuk's suggestion, and Li Hyuk repeatedly suggested to Nolan that he should take care of the audience's feelings, which is the key point of commercial films. Nolan finally listened to Li Hyuk's suggestion and tried his best to make the plot as smooth as possible during post-editing and production.
It is very simple, and a lot of slow-motion movements are added to make it easier for the audience to discover the details.
For example, in the scene of three cars running parallel on the highway, Nolan did a slow-motion process. The protagonist threw the box in the middle of the silver car and loaded it up to Sato, but the big treasure in the box was still in his hand.
If this were a normal shot, it would be impossible for the audience to notice this detail, but through slow motion, the audience can notice this detail. This is one of the changes in the film, and there are many others. It is precisely because of the reduction in the difficulty of understanding that the film
Only then did it have a high score of 8.6 on Douban.
