brad Pitt , one of the sexiest men in Hollywood .
The last movie he starred in was also the 2019 " Interstellar Exploration ".
After three years, it finally brought another real action blockbuster -
"Bullet Train"
The film is also known as "The Storm's Wind", with a cost of 85 million US dollars. currently has a global box office of 230 million , temporarily ranking 13th in the annual box office list.
There was a previous news that it would introduce Chinese theaters, but somehow there was no further information.
The film has a mixed reputation in North America.
According to the external network's rating, professional film critics are not very popular, and ordinary audiences enjoy watching it.
" New York Post " believes that "the video is like Guy Rich 's criminal comedy, but louder and faster" , ABC News criticized "Brad Pitt's actions are heavy, the film's rhythm is shattered, which is exhausting."
After reading it, Hao Ge felt that there were flaws, but overall, it is definitely recommended to read it!
video is adapted from the original work of "Killer World·Breaking Wind".
Isaka was shortlisted for the Naoki Award for five times. His novels are fast-paced and rich in imagination, and have always been the darling of film and television adaptations.
His representative works "Golden Dreamland", " Death's Accuracy ", " Gravity Clown ", etc., have been adapted into movies, starring Masato Sakai , Takeshi Kaneshiro , Okada Masato , etc.
"The Wind" is the second part of Isaka "Killer Trilogy".
The first movie version of " Grasshopper " is starring Ioda Toma , and the third movie "Home of the Wife" has no plans to adapt the film and television.
Compared with "Grasshopper" released in Japan in 2015, "Bullet Train" has been linked to Hollywood's mature genre film industry, and its narrative level and visual effects have soared, making it the most entertaining adaptation of Isaka's novels.
video is directed by David Reach.
I have to say that directors named "David Xchi" have something, such as David Finch , David Lynch , and this David Reach.
Ratch is not as deep as Finch and Lynch's exploration of film art, but he also used to make narrative details and bloody humor , becoming one of the most stylish genre directors in Hollywood.
has served as Brad Pitt's action stand-in for 5 times, and and as the action director of Captain America 3. In recent years, he has handed over high-quality action movies such as " Extremely Cold City ", " Deadpool 2", " Rapid Chase " (one of the co-directors) .
In addition to Pitt , the actors of "Bullet Train" also have Joey King (""""Jeon Taylor-Johnson ( "Haipanwang "), Brian Terry Henry ("Joker") , and other new generations of Hollywood, as well as actors such as Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon , and Sandra Brock .
The attractiveness of the film in the cast does not stop at the simple "counting stars", but based on the actors' past important roles, they can complete a sense linkage in the film.
For example, the key character in the whole story, that is, the killer played by Ryan Reynolds , never appeared on the train.
and he doesn't show up. It's because of stomachache . Is it a bit like "little slutty"?
Of course, the most interesting cameo in the whole film is "Boss Qian" Channing Tatum . The camera contributed the most hilarious lines and scenes in a few seconds!
There are six killers in the story and boarded the Shinkansen train departing from Tokyo.
They are ladybugs, honey mandarin oranges, lemons, princes, poisonous bees, and evil wolfs.
Except for the evil wolf (American reggae singer bad pussy rabbit ornaments) comes for revenge, the other five people get on the car, all related to a silver suitcase full of dollars.
Ladybugs, honey bees, lemons, and poisonous bees are all for taking away the suitcase.
The purpose of the prince is to install bombs in the box. When the train arrives in Kyoto, she can use the box to blow up the legendary "White Death" .
But the killers don’t know that the suitcase is just an introduction to all of them get on the car. Behind the
box is the journey of death designed by the White Death God.
In addition, "elder" (played by Hiroyuki Sanada) who was once the same gang as also came to the car. He also had a blade of revenge in his hand, pointing at twig.
This is the action movie story that "Bullet Train" relies on the original work and crochets for the audience.
From the performance of the video, this story has its unrealistic aspects.
In order to let the killers show their strength, the director set the train car to a "quasi-vacuum", that is, except for the story characters and a few sporadic passers-by, the passengers of the entire train seemed to be useless.
kmk killers fought counterfeiting and killing people in the carriage, but they were not blocked by any train security...
Compared with train stories with strong atmosphere such as "The World No Thieves" and " Busan Tour ", "Bullet Train" is to showcase the high level of Hollywood's film industry, cleaning the train into a "pure version".
While staying away from reality, pushes the dream of the action to a climax.
For example, in the film, Migan, played by Aaron Taylor, smashed the high-speed rail windshield with bare hands, directly pressing the human body's physics and traffic mechanics to the ground to rub.
But the excitement of this scene is enough to become one of the iconic moments of the film.
With the blessing of the original novel, the relationship between the characters in the film is also quite charming.
The most typical one is the killer of the twin brothers honey mandarin and lemon .
Migan is a white and British accent, while lemon is a black and American accent.
The two have a huge contrast, but they use the animation "Thomas Train" as a bond to make them as one.
is also interesting , and also the use of props.
In addition to an African poisonous tree snake that always cruised on the train, the video also used a bottle of FIJI bottled water to the extreme.
This bottle of water follows the killers from a self-service vending machine in Tokyo, as if it has consciousness, rolling the bottle body until the train cracks in the collision. It can still exert its residual heat and become a weapon for a key blow.
This is the unique feature of Rey's directorial style -
He first clears everything on the train, and then lets everything he needs follow the train.
even if it is just a bottle of water, it is still moving at full speed.
Isaka Yukitaro's works have depth, but not much.
This point "not much depth" , just right for him and his fans.
He absorbed the inspiration of the picture from famous directors such as Coen brothers , Jean-Luc Godard , Custurica, and mastered the narrative rhythm from European and American rock music .
Therefore, while the stories and characters written by Isaka are extremely entertaining, they always linger inexplicable sorrow.
In the most famous "Golden Dreamland", the Prime Minister met the suspect Qingliu, while fleeing, and just fired the car and cried sadly. In the first "Grasshopper" of the Killer Series, the suicide killer whale will see the hollowness in his eyes every time he leads a person to commit suicide.
To this "Bullet Train", Reach has filtered out the Japanese elements in the original work in the smooth industrial filter of Hollywood.
But he still captures a hint of subtlety and sadness through the street style of Tokyo, cherry blossoms falling, imitation of Tang architecture, etc.
Correlates the sadness in this picture to each character, and you will find that turns out that killers only have a place to come, no way back.
The evil wolf's heart was left at its bloody wedding. Migan and lemon recalled their childhood before dying. The prince lived in hatred for their father. Bai Death and the elder both embarked on the road of revenge for their dead lover.
train arrives at the station. If they don’t die, there is no explanation and no one cares about where these people will go.
The nostalgia of these killers seems to be solved by death.
The special feature of Pitt's Ladybug as the protagonist is that he is the only person who has no place to come or a way back.
So during the whole process, he only cares about how he can get off the car.
Before the ultimate melee, Ladybug and the elders had a conversation about fate -
The seven stars on Ladybug's back represent the seven kinds of sufferings in the world, so Ladybug does not represent good luck, but bears all the bad luck and keeps people safe.
Everything you experience leads you here, and fate is due to your destiny.
So, the origin and return of ladybug were actually arranged on this train, which is why he has been unable to get off the train.
With this, Rey arranged the ultimate melee in the Chaoyang of Kyoto.
Chaoyang is so complete, but the train was smashed to pieces due to the fierce fighting between several groups of people.
complete and broken reflection, creating the most sharp and saddest action drama of this year.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the episodes of "Bullet Train" are quite good.
"La Despedida" (singed by Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz) , "Couple of Fruits" and other rock songs, as the life songs of evil wolf, honey mandarin, lemon, etc., show the killers' bloody journey as a free and punk .
In addition, the film also uses "Sometimes Like a Child Without a Mother" (singed by Carmen Maki, lyrics by Terayama Shuji ), and "Five Hundred Miles" to highlight the character's death, thus creating an elegant sense of loneliness.
