"Bullet Train" tells a story: a migrant worker who registered in the killer organization but only undertakes some robbery jobs and refuses to kill people accidentally replaces his colleague who has diarrhea and embarks on the bullet train with hidden murderous intent. Moreover, by accident and in a hurry, he obviously became the one with the most killers in the car. Brad Pitt , who is undergoing psychotherapy, and naively thinks that the new name indicates good luck, naturally feels very wronged and has been trying to explain all this absurdity with the psychological concepts he just learned and has only a few understandings.
movies have collages of various audio-visual resources that have been proven to bring pleasure, blending the juggling action design of Jackie Chan movies, the sharp gun use of "fast chase" style, the light and playful nonsensical setting of "Deadpool", Japanese anime and samurai culture into one, making it look very cute. In fact, the overall movie is like a tribute to Jackie Chan's movie "Police Story 4: Simple Task": Ladybug carefully accepted the most simple delivery task, but it turned out to be a huge and "terrible", but it was full of jokes, and staged a popcorn movie that is rare in recent years, which is above the level. The collage of
movies is not only reflected in aesthetic style, but also in narrative techniques. Whenever a new character appears or mentions important memory scenes, the movie deviates from the main line and tells his story as a whole. Therefore, the movie is not a one-man show for , Peter , but rather highlights the charm of each character and brings it into the main line. The main line of the movie is that Ladybug doesn't want to cause trouble, she just wants to get off the train quickly. Unexpectedly, she is interrupted again and again, and is tied by "wolf", "lemon", "orange" and evil little girls. She has to stay on the bullet train and finally enter the decisive battle with "White Death". In the process, whether it is the "elder" played by Hiroyuki Sanada, his son played by Andrew Hoji , or the "Hornet" who only has a fighting scene (she plays Domino with lucky superpowers in Deadpool 2, and "Bullet Train" is obviously greatly influenced by the character's creativity), and even plays a funny cameo, almost the true character Channing Tatum (he has been a stripper and played the corresponding role in the movie "Magic Mike", fascinating all the opposite sex), Ryan Reynolds, and Sandra Brock, who appeared in the final surprise, everyone is cool and can be integrated into the overall fast pace of the movie.
has a super fast pace on one side and is always caught off guard, while playing with various details fully. In the movie, the sleeping pills that Ladybug put down lemons and the African tree snakes that bumblebee extracted venom are not passed by, but are repeatedly presented. At the beginning, Ladybug's shoes stepped into the puddle, and at the end, the shoes splashed with white death's blood, which also received an interesting correspondence. The little girl deceived Koji for the first time, the second time, the third time, the third time, and the fourth time, the ladybug for the fourth time. The lines of each time are in line with the development of the plot logic at that time, but the other party's reactions vary due to their personality differences, which seems to be staggered. In addition, the movie has been running through the passage of White Death playing Russian roulette with his revolver and his enemies. Finally, he pointed the gun at Ladybug, but unexpectedly, the gun was modified by his daughter and turned around and exploded himself to death, which also showed the meticulousness of front and back inspection.
movie has two paragraphs, which is a clever tribute to the literary tradition. First, the lemon is called Hao Er and the little girl pointing each other out to see who is the mastermind. The little girl has no distractions and just wants to clear her relationship. Hao Er is full of concern for her son, afraid that accusing the little girl would lead to her son's murder, but she was unable to stretch out her fingers for a long time. This is the plot of "The Caucasus Gray Lantern". Second, Orange thought that his brother Lemon was killed, and he couldn't help but feel sad. Who knew that he just took sleeping pills and went to sleep. When Lemon woke up, he found that Orange was dead by his side, which followed the creativity of "Romeo and Juliet". It is really ingenious to stuff such paragraphs into action comedy. The most amazing thing about
is the sponsor FIJI bottled water implant advertisement.The movie finally uses it as its perspective and traces the entire plot development around this bottle of water, making people feel that it is the only protagonist, and the movie can even be renamed "Bottled Water Legend". In contrast, Audi is not in position to attract audience attention by destroying an sports car .
movie is full of killing, but magically reflects the atmosphere of family happiness. When Bai Death died, we were surprised to find that Ladybug, Elders and Sons had survived. Just as I was about to regret the death of Orange and Lemon, who knew that Lemon actually rushed over in a truck full of oranges and knocked the stubborn little girl away. So there are good people on one side and bad people on the other, and both sides are neat, which makes people feel very satisfied.
A popcorn movie, no matter how many benefits it has, you may get at most a comment that "not annoying". However, within a limited space, properly tucking in dazzling creativity and pushing entertainment to the extreme has shown great sincerity to the audience. After all, in today's film market, "not annoying" and "not cliché" have become a very high standard. I have a little doubt that I have such a good impression of "Bullet Train". Is it because I watched the Hollywood movie this year that is so troublesome. From Netflix's sloppy "Red Ending Order", DC's pretended to be deep " New Batman ", to Disney 's chewy " Maleficent 2", Marvel 's "Doctor Strange 2"... So now I feel that I'm very satisfied to see a movie like "Bullet Train".
Looking back, Hiroyuki Sanada was born in 1960 and Pete was born in 1963. Now he can still rely on his personal charm to bring full pleasure to the audience. Compared with those younger generations who are busy making money, there is no way to feel that they are in the past.
