Wolf Warriors 2's film reviews.
I still remember the feeling of watching Wolf Warrior 1 a few years ago. Compared with traditional action movies, this movie is actually a military movie in the traditional sense, and it is a rare special forces theme, which is determined by its particularity.
Different from other special police, special forces can be further developed based on the theme of urban warfare, such as anti-terrorism special police teams and extremist agents. As a military unit, the framework of special forces is mainly limited to the theme of war (with the world's attention to counter-terrorism, special forces began to participate in anti-terrorism missions in 2002), and they are carried out as arms to perform special tasks. The emphasis on individual combat capability and weapons and equipment makes it impossible for traditional war movies to follow the route of corps combat, but the works about special forces have a special charm-pursuing specialized tactics and strategies from individual combat capability and team combat mode can greatly set off the theme and atmosphere of the movie.
This is the characteristic of two Wolf Warriors, and the first episode is a military movie style from individual combat to teamwork. Jason Wu's portrayal of Lengfeng, a soldier of fortune, is very successful. The appearance of the Wolf Warrior makes this play have two very important meanings. One is to fill the gap of special forces movies in recent years, and the other is to find a balance between the main theme, especially the military theme and commercial action movies.
The first 540 million box office is a signal of success.
The second episode, or the way to continue the first episode? At least, director and actor Jason Wu doesn't think so. After all, in this commercialized market, there are still a few military themes. When the audience watched Wolf Warrior 1, they still went for the action scene. Moreover, personally, military films are not easy to shoot at home and abroad, because in peacetime, the themes and stories are limited, especially in China. Therefore, under the premise of continuing the style and theme of this series, Wolf Warriors 2 has slightly shifted the weather vane of the film.
Lengfeng stopped being a soldier and moved to Africa. The reason why Leng Feng was not a soldier was named at the beginning, and his deviant behavior in anger led him to make a big taboo. However, although the military uniform is not there, the "retirement" of the cold front is a passive demand, and the blood of the soldiers still exists. The scene of the film comes to Africa, and the main story is to rescue China compatriots. Therefore, the theme of "Wolf Warriors 2" comes down in one continuous line with the first episode, but there are no restrictions on the theme and story of the first episode, and the film can let go of its hands and feet in the pattern and content, so it has a broader space.
This is an upgrade of Wolf Warrior 2.
? From the perspective of a retired soldier, Wolf Warriors 2 has a strong sense of substitution. This is exactly the model of Hollywood lonely action movies, such as First Blood, Die Hard Rowen Rowen, Sudden Death and Escape of Hidden Dragon. The protagonists of these movies are either policemen or veterans, and so is this movie.
The portrayal of the cold front in the film is quite in place, and other supporting roles can show their relative personality characteristics in the Facebook mode, especially the breakthrough scene of the arsenal in the second half, which is enough to portray the personality of the roles such as female nurse and rich second generation Hans Zhang in an action movie. Especially WU GANG, secretary of Dakang, is simply a "cold front two". The similarity between the two is that they are both very hidden, with extraordinary skills, consistent with the consistent setting of lonely action movies, and their personality characteristics are more pleasing. Although it only appears in the second half, it is no different.
The film is based on this simple plot. The plot arrangement and story rhythm are not smooth, but they are very compact, that is, fast-paced. The plot and character pattern are full of dazzling action scenes, which does not affect the impression.
Of course, the biggest highlight of the film is the action, from the beginning of the six-minute long shot of attacking pirates from the ship into the water, to Jason Wu blocking the display of RPG rockets with wire fences. The action scenes of the film switch back and forth between skill and popularity, which is the consistent style of the Wolf Warrior series. In the film, Jason Wu also shows the action of changing magazines with one hand, which is no less than the first episode.
Street fighting, hand-to-hand combat, tank racing, rockets and automatic weapons firing in turn, and even a PK battle with "Crossbones" at the end, the scene of this movie is very refreshing.
Moreover, the depiction of friendship is also the symbol of Wolf Warriors 2 series. Compared with the brotherhood infiltrated in the first episode, the second episode focuses on ordinary refugees. In fact, the theme of the film is very similar to "None Less" in Black Hawk Down. Facing the refugees at gunpoint, whether they are China compatriots or African brothers, the film uses a lot of pen and ink to render. Hot action scenes+deep affection, Wolf Warrior 2 exudes masculinity from the inside out. I don't know how much commercial value this work will eventually gain, but such a large-scale film has made great contributions to the film market where the development of genre films has almost stagnated.
Speaking of China's action themes, the recent appearance of films such as operation mekong, Extraordinary Mission and Future Red Sea Action is actually conducive to the diversified development of our genre films. Although the film has the flavor of the main theme, the route is correct, and it finds a balance between business and the main theme, which is also the characteristic of the Wolf Warrior series.
Film Review of Wolf Warriors 2 II.
The unexpected success of Wolf Warrior 20 15 in the market is a blessing of luck to some extent. This "luck" is the feeling that "those who commit crimes against China will be punished in the distance", which accurately hit the enthusiasm of the audience at that time.
Limited by the limited funds of the project and the director's limited experience, Wolf Warriors at that time not only became a "dark horse", but also received a lot of criticism for film production. However, after the big box office explosion, Wolf Warriors 2 has more capital space, and the increase in investment has also been intuitively translated into the upgrading of military tanks, helicopters and other hardware facilities, as well as flying cars and explosions. For example, in the scene of tank confrontation, "Wolf Warriors 2" let five or six heavy armored vehicles collide and crush each other, one of which was directly overturned, and even finally staged the "highlight" of heavy artillery blowing up helicopters. Such a big scene of being willing to burn money is a "counterattack" against the previous "5 cents special effect".
As the background of the story moved from the border of China to the distant African continent, Jason Wu also chose a more international villain for Wolf Warriors 2. The number one bully was Frank Grillo, who played the infamous "Crossbones" in Captain America series. Joining him is the behind-the-scenes action director of Captain America: Civil War, and the martial arts directing team from Hongkong. The close hand-to-hand combat drama in Wolf Warriors 2 has really improved a lot in fluency and appreciation. I still remember that in the first movie, Jason Wu, who was trained in martial arts, was a little stiff and affected in many close-ups or freeze-frames, which was once considered as a serious injury to the quality of Wolf Warriors. In the end, the underwater mirror image in the opening part played more with fewer enemies, and finally the one-on-one hand-to-hand combat with Frank Grillo was more design-oriented.
Of course, whether it is tanks, planes and other hardware equipment or international actors and behind-the-scenes lineups, these are just external upgrades brought by investment costs for a movie. In such an active film market, Wolf Warriors 2, as a work intended to explore the style of commercial films outside the main theme, has made such progress, which is surprising but can't be called "accident". What is more worthy of our attention is the changes that have taken place in the character "Cold Front".
In Wolf Warriors, Leng Feng is still a brave recruit who is more resourceful than he is, and even makes a mess. Similar settings are not uncommon in previous military works. It has almost become their "standard action" from refusing to accept to leading troops to fight. In the film, of course, there are supporting roles including Hong Ni and Nan Yu to help Jason Wu stand out, but more often, in order to show his ability, teammates and (most of) opponents are deliberately weakened. For the audience, this artistic creation undoubtedly affects the "credibility" of the film.
We can see that Wolf Warriors 2 is gradually reversing this point: the cold front is still invincible on the battlefield, but he has more "human weaknesses", such as meeting the villain who bullied his comrades again, and he still ignores punishment; When he was sick, he was helpless and had to endure the sadness of "betraying his loved ones"; And the motivation that motivates him to fight can be both national righteousness and being immersed in love ... This "routine" belongs to the hero, and we have also seen it in Steve Rogers of Captain America and Desmond Doss of Hacksaw Ridge. It is the most critical upgrade of Jason Wu's "core" in the process of moving closer to "film heavy industry" with the series of "Wolf Warriors", so as to build a fuller and more three-dimensional character image.
Film Review of Wolf Warriors 2 III
2 million is an abstract figure describing the number of active servicemen of the China People's Liberation Army. However, a veteran gave this abstract and cold figure an intuitive, vivid, grounded and temperature-sensitive annotation with film elements intertwined with blood, fire and emotion.
An image is bigger than a bunch of concepts. This irrefutable aesthetic law is once again confirmed in this film.
On the eve of the 90th anniversary of the founding of New China, the military film Wolf Warriors 2 was shown in cinemas all over the country.
This is a film about the military action of heavy industry. In a country in Africa, the deadly Raman virus is spreading. The opposition "Red Scarf Army" rebelled on the grounds of poor government treatment. The person who gets the vaccine wins the world. Dr. Chen, a China aid doctor to Africa, is about to successfully develop a virus serum vaccine, which has become the focus of competition between government forces and the "Red Scarf Army".
China veteran cold front Jason Wu is looking for the killer of his lover. He wore a necklace made of bullets that killed his girlfriend and traced it all the way to the African continent. Revenge, trustworthiness and love are gradually unfolding under the background of civil strife of blood and fire.
First of all, the stage elements of the film are worldwide. China also has films on the world stage, but only a handful. The film is set in the vast Africa, with wild grassland scenery, exotic ethnic customs and complex tribal relations ... The film has the background of dialogue with the world movies from the beginning.
Secondly, the theme of the film is universal. Compassion and protection for the weak is a common and universal theme of mankind. In the film, the heroine from the United States and the hero from China, for their own promises, respectively, took an African child through plagues, explosions, bloodshed and wars, never giving up without complaining, practicing the value realization and moral pursuit of a capitalized "human".
Once upon a time, it seemed that the film with the theme of "redemption" was the patent of American blockbusters. In Wolf Warriors 2, the two protagonists, China and the United States, respectively guard the future of Africa-a boy and a girl, who are evacuated from war to peace. From this perspective, this is also a manifestation of cultural self-confidence.
Third, the language of movies is universal. In the American blockbuster Titanic in the late 1990s, men stayed behind and gave their limited lifeboats to women and children. This universal "value" has made this film rich and won moral applause all over the world.
Such values are once again reflected in China's film Wolf Warriors 2. When the helicopter space applied by China is limited, it seems a natural choice to let the China people evacuate first and leave the Africans behind. The cold front's sonorous command that "women and children get on the plane" makes a responsible national image leap from the paper, and also realizes a successful "dialogue" with the world movies on the level of values.
China has won many international awards. However, after careful analysis, the selling points of individual films focus on describing the backwardness, ignorance, vulgarity and ugliness of the nation, which accords with the westerners' satisfaction with the so-called "mystery" of oriental culture. It's not that these "mysteries" can't be filmed, but that there are more topics that can be "talked" with the world film "discourse system", but our film industry is not good at or unwilling to explore.
