Chapter 186 - Shocking Movie Watching Feeling (Next)
The seemingly incomparably powerful Mr. X died just like that, and everyone knew that it was the mysterious person on the other end of the phone who reaped his life, the movie set up a huge suspense in less than ten minutes of the opening scene. Just as the audience was speculating, the slow-motion camera began to replay the trajectory of the bullet. From penetrating Mr. X's head, dislodging in the air like a rocket, and finally retreating back into the shooter's chamber, everyone got a complete view of how the magnificent sky sniper had done it.
It was only after looking clearly at the face of the middle-aged man behind the special sniper rifle that everyone realized that the real BOSS of the film was this unassuming-looking guy who was able to take someone's life from thousands of miles away.
The audience is not yet satisfied, but the movie's image is once again turned back to the hero Wesley's mediocre life. Tortured by his female boss and betrayed by his girlfriend, his life can simply be described as terrible.
Gone is the handsome young man everyone remembers as being so graceful, and the Lin Ming Yang of the movie has been completely reduced to a bland and mediocre guy, both in his expression and his costume. Despite the depressing nature of the character, fans have to admit that Lin Mingyang's acting skills are maturing, and the strongest proof of this is that the Wesley in the picture has made the audience completely forget that his character is a big, glittering star.
It's okay that his life is in shambles, but the protagonist, Wesley, actually suffers from a severe anxiety disorder that he has to rely on medication to maintain. He puts up with his bosses at work while his coworker Barry is cheating on him with his girlfriend, who left his wallet at Wesley's house. When viewers see the two checking out at the supermarket, and after Barry realizes his wallet is missing, Wesley offers to pay for him, but the other guy actually attaches a box of condoms, and everyone is dying to smash Wesley's nose.
Knowing that Barry is cheating on his girlfriend, he does nothing about it, and men like this are unanimously met with the audience's collective disdain. Even the audience felt a little depressed by this dull episode, and just as everyone's patience was nearing its limit, the mysterious man who killed Mr. X appeared on camera, and he seemed to be stalking Wesley.
Wesley discovered this when he was checking out at the supermarket, and when he turned back, the long-awaited Angelina Jolie made a stunning appearance. Sexy and cold, she wore exquisite smoky makeup and exuded an air of danger.
Many of the male audience in the movie theater had bought tickets to the theater only because of Angelina Jolie, and as soon as they saw her appear, they immediately hit the ground running. Other fans, however, had a feeling that Jolie's appearance would take the whole story to a whole new stage, and that Wesley might soon say goodbye to this dreary life.
Sure enough, as soon as the mysterious Julie opens her mouth, she tells Wesley that she knew his father, but sadly he died yesterday on the roof of the Metropolis building. Wesley himself is still a little confused, but viewers who have seen the previous episode naturally make the connection between him and that Mr. X. Then the whole story line became clear, that mysterious man betrayed the mysterious organization that Wesley's father was a part of, he killed Wesley's father, and stalked Wesley in order to cut him down.
Viewers who watched a little more carefully, the heart will have a little bit of a small doubt, since that mysterious man is so powerful, to kill Wesley should be an easy thing, with his four killers as bait, sniping Mr. X means style, the first time he saw Wesley, he should not hesitate to do it, rather than wait until that organization to send people to protect Wesley.
Under the powerful theorem of the protagonist's immortality, people with this doubt have attributed the reason to the omission of the plot design, and they don't have time to carefully deduce and ponder it, because the intense gunfight duel in the movie suddenly opens, and Julie's words have not been finished yet, and she has held Wesley down with a hand, and fired a shot with the mysterious man in the supermarket between the containers.
Two bullets collide in the air, Julie dragged Wesley to take the opportunity to hide behind the container, then the cover of the obstacle, she took out from the bag more sophisticated corner aiming equipment, and was about to shoot, but the mysterious man shot first, the bullet through the shelves, from the top of the container posted on the poster through, and Julie brushed shoulders.
Realizing that the mystery man was using the reflectors in the supermarket to determine his location, Julie fired successive shots, shattering the mirrors. While she was taking aim, Wesley took advantage of the confusion to break free of her grip and dart out of the supermarket, running aimlessly down the street.
The mysterious man who came out in hot pursuit jumped into a truck carrying pets and drove after Wesley. As the desperate Wesley was about to be hit by the oncoming truck, Julie in her red Dodge Viper told rushed out, and as she opened the passenger seat, viewers speculated on the manner in which she would get Wesley into the car.
The director of the movie once again used his wild imagination, Julie a beautiful 360-degree sharp braking drift, not only succeeded in covering the head of Wesley waiting for death to pick up the car, but also managed to avoid the truck's impact. The audience in the movie theater had seen too many thrilling car riding stunts, but this shot still made their mouths grow up in surprise.
The mysterious man naturally did not stop there, and the chase scene that followed was thrilling and exciting, driving in the opposite direction, speeding, crazy cutting, all of these scenes that should appear in a biker movie were not left out in the movie. But even so, they still could not get rid of each other. Both sides started to exchange fire in the chase.
Finding that counterattacking from the car window was not very effective, Julie did an even crazier move, she used her gun to smash the windshield of the sports car and then lifted the whole piece. She told Wesley to hold the steering wheel while she lay on the front hood of the car and shot backwards.
The audience's blood was already pumping from the unbelievable action and intense firefights, but the director of the movie added shots full of ambiguous innuendo at this point in the movie.
Wesley turned the steering wheel, avoiding an oncoming bus, the god-awful bullet bending was reproduced in the hands of the mysterious man, he shot two bullets in a row to bypass the bus that blocked the line of sight, and directly hit the rear wheels of Julie's sports car.
The number of police cars at the intersection of the heavy roadblocks, Julie and Wesley two people seem to have come to a desperate situation, have been accustomed to the director's incredible, wild imagination, the audience is naturally looking forward to Julie once again staged a "shocking".
Julie did not let everyone disappointed, back in the driver's seat, she did not slow down, accelerated after a rapid drift, the whole car in a violent impact on the barricades after the air flip up, in a cadre of police officers dumbfounded in the gaze, in the air turned a heel, from the side of the road over a passenger car.
In the moment the bus fell to the ground, Julie stepped on the gas pedal, the sports car from the side of the bus sped out, fell to the ground after a seven dizziness, in the eyes of the passers-by surprised, Julie drove away with the sports car constantly falling apart.
If this is not in the movie theater, I guess some people can not help but wave their arms excitedly, shouting that it is too much fun, because this set of car chase is really too exciting. The only thing that was a bit unfortunate was that the footage was not played back, and everyone only remembered the color of the car during the tense and exciting chase scene, but they didn't get a good look at what brand of sports car Julie was driving.
This suspense was left in the minds of many viewers, and after the film's DVD release, fans were able to scrutinize the car and identify it as a new concept car for the Dodge Viper series. Instead of choosing one of those high end sports cars to attract attention in this big name action movie, they chose the more civilianized Dodge Viper series.
Compared with the Ford Mustang and Chevy Covet, the Dodge Viper may be slightly younger, but the youthfulness is more prevalent. The Viper series continues to carry on the essence of the American sports car, pursuing the level of handling of a race car as the goal, and desperately trying to create a top-level civilian sports car, and the roaring engine in the movie confirms the Viper's classic motto: "There's no substitute for exhaust volume! " , although only a glimpse, but left a very deep impression on the audience.
The plot has developed to this point, in fact, many viewers have guessed the plot behind, Wesley was taken to a strange place, in a life-threatening situation, the potential in Wesley's body was stimulated, he realized at this time, his anxiety turned out to be a unique supernatural ability.
Wesley's heart was able to beat 400 times per second, and his blood was filled with adrenaline, which allowed him to have a sharper observation and reaction ability than others. That's why he was able to knock the wings off a fly with a bullet in that state.
Hollywood movies are like this, they always like to put a seemingly reasonable scientific explanation for superpowers, and anyone with a little bit of common sense will know that this explanation is ridiculous, but movie directors are still happy to repeat the same work.
Wesley, who has always considered himself to be ordinary, is suddenly told that he is no longer ordinary, but also unique, and naturally he cannot accept it for a while, and he chooses to escape. Under the compulsion of his female boss in the company, the originally cowardly and deceivable Wesley's inner strength is finally aroused, and he soundly scolds his mean female boss, removes all her hypocritical masks, and mocks her shortcomings in a naked - naked manner.
At the end Wesley shouts out in front of all the people in the office in pain, "Go eat shit!" , all the viewers of his previous depressing view of him were swept away, and everyone felt a raised eyebrow in their hearts. And the scene where Wesley slapped Barry painfully with his keyboard made everyone clap their hands.
Taking off the dull and dull glasses, in Wesley who walked out of the company's door with his head held high, the Lin Ming Yang that everyone was familiar with had finally returned. Riding in Julie's car, Wesley joins the Brotherhood, a secret society that has existed for a thousand years, and trains there to unleash his hidden energy and avenge his father's death.
Under the guidance of a group of highly skilled and talented mentors - including the Brotherhood's enigmatic leader, Sloan - Wesley becomes fascinated by the potential he has developed, but gradually he realizes that the danger behind these dangerous Gradually, he realizes that these dangerous companions are hiding secrets that are invisible to the naked eye, especially when it comes to assassination missions, and that the nobility and purity of his former self is gone.
Wesley encounters his father's murderer, who managed to escape after killing a member of the Brotherhood. Wesley vowed to kill each other personally, but this time, the loom indicating the target of the killing appeared on Wesley's name, responsible for the execution of the task is Julie.
See here, the original plot development has been a clear judgment of the audience once again confused, is there another truth? The audience in the movie theater with a strong doubt, watching the screen in the Wesley on the train and his father's murderer to start the showdown.
In order to carry out the mission, Julie drove into the train, the mysterious man tried to shoot Julie several times, but Wesley shot to stop, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and finally the train on the bridge emergency braking, the body thrown off the cliff. At the time of the fall, the mysterious man pulls Wesley, who is about to fall off the cliff, but Wesley has no choice but to shoot at him.
With his last ounce of strength, the mystery man tells Wesley the truth of the matter, and it turns out that he is Wesley's father. Wesley was used from the beginning to the end, and blinded by hatred, he killed his father with his own hands.
It was only after seeing this that it dawned on everyone that it was all a conspiracy. After confirming everything from Julie, a desperate Wesley shatters the window of the car and falls off the cliff with his father's body, finally landing in the river at the bottom of the canyon.
When he wakes up again, he finds himself lying in the same place where his father used to live, and the old clergyman who rescued him tells him everything he knows, and he finally gives Wesley a bank card so that he can go to live a normal life, which was Wesley's father's wish before he died.
While preparing to leave, Wesley discovers his father's studio hidden in the closet, in which he finds the plan program left by his father to destroy the Brotherhood's lair. Always accustomed to escape life Wesley this time did not choose to retreat, he followed his father's plan to kill the Brotherhood's headquarters.
Although the scene of rats scurrying around at the beginning made many female viewers in the movie theater a bit nauseous, but the next Wesley killed the castle alone, that action is simply cool to the extreme. Utilizing his physical reaction time and sensory superiority, Wesley kills in a way that is nothing short of clean.
Almost every movie, ends with this kind of big showdown, where the one-against-one hero makes a big show of killing his enemies in the end. This kind of plot used to firmly dominate the screen, and made the audience's blood boil. But after watching more, the audience can't help but wonder why the enemy's bullets can't hit the protagonist? Why does the gun in the hands of the protagonist never run out of bullets?
So nowadays, movie directors have become smarter, they will let the protagonist get injured, so as to increase the realism of the movie; and the gun in the hands of the protagonist is out of bullets, so that it can be arranged for a physical combat scene as a matter of course... Beckmambetov is also in the ranks, but he is obviously more creative and thoughtful than other directors. In this final big breakout sequence, Lin Mingyang's performance brings out the best in Gun Fist Do.
The gun in his hand doesn't have inexhaustible bullets, but in the process of killing his opponents, other people's guns become his guns, and as long as his enemies don't die out, he will have a constant supply of ammunition. This clever arrangement not only adds to the plausibility of the movie, but also creates great conditions for Lin Mingyang to play cool with his gun.
The perfect combination of gunplay and fighting, the bloody and violent killing scenes, the fast and slow camera cuts, all of this brings the audience a visual impact at the same time, but also comes with a psychological sense of extreme pleasure.
The lowest floor of the minions so by Lin Mingyang played Wesley gorgeous seconds, after accomplishing this feat, he himself just a slight shot in the arm. The gun in his hand was finally out of bullets, so after the encounter with the killer butcher on the second floor, it was immediately followed by a fist-to-fist fight to the death. During the shooting of this section, director Beckman Bertov temporarily changed the script, in order to show the extreme violence, the scene was changed to the butcher was Lin Mingyang with fists alive.
Despite being accustomed to the bloody and violent scenes in this movie, the part where Lin Mingyang killed the butcher with his fists after he went berserk still made many timid female viewers cover their eyes, while male viewers did not remove their eyes from the screen, but their eyes were full of horror as well.
Wesley is surrounded by the elite killers of the Brotherhood, and he reveals Sloan's plot to everyone, but the wise Sloan tells the crowd an even harsher truth, that all the people in the room have their names on the loom, and that, according to the Brotherhood's beliefs, all of them should have been killed! .
Seduced by Sloan, the group of killers all choose to work with him, except for Fox, played by Jolie, who makes a move at the end that surprises everyone. The bullet touches off from her gun, but the target is not Wesley.
Throughout the movie, Jolie's signature silver pistol used to impress the audience with a floral pattern on the handle and a tattooed vein on her hand that could have been connected. The posters for the film's pre-publicity featured a close-up of her face holding this pistol, and people were no strangers to the gun.
The arcing bullet trajectory that has been used as a visual effect in this movie finally creates chemistry with the plot at the end of the movie. It's also one of the most beautiful images of suicide or self-sacrifice after a most wonderful murder. A bullet goes around a beautiful circular trajectory, hitting the others first in the temple and finally bringing the shooter to his fateful death as well.
Sloan, who took advantage of the chaos to escape, did not escape death in the end, another magnificent sky sniper, Wesley used his father's method of killing Mr. X, Sloan successfully introduced into the trap, he only had time to say "FUCK", and the bullet gushed out of his eyebrow.
