Recently, I had to write a script in case of a list of movies I think I owe matrix. In this video, the shortest movie I focused on was in 2002 balancewritten and directed by 2020s writer and director Kurt Wimmer Corn childrenthis is one of the worst Stephen King movies I’ve ever seen.
So now I admit to the sci-fi movie “The Short Smile in That Video” for Kurt Mangal The sequel, I want to make Wimmer’s best director work hard to shake when reviewing it, because the movie and its release are definitely worth another look.
Balance makes smart sci-fi stupid
Therefore, balance What we have to solve is the story that it takes place and the replacement of the future world, because one word I would definitely use in this movie is “derivative.”
When a work of art is taking some recognizable sources of inspiration, people feel like it is doing anything… well, for its inspiration, that’s a word. Instead, they can’t help but think of it as a copy and share of work.
balance It undoubtedly draws inspiration from classic, familiar sci-fi dystopian novels and images to create a world in which humans live in a fascist state where emotional and artistic expressions are suppressed in the name of eliminating war.
It reminds me of my favorite videos I’ve made for this channel Harrison Bergeron. You should look at that.
The society of li-raising balanceIt is an openly fascist country (no one accused Kurt Wimmer of the subtlety), maintaining peace by asking everyone to take an emotion-killing drug called Prozium. Like I said, Kurt and subtle rather than bed, even if it’s just the theme of Hexley’s Soma’s Soma A brave new world.
balanceThe treatment of its inspiration reminds me of another science fiction film that got the word “D”, 2013 Forgotten. Both films have visual styles that are aimed at action, and their sci-fi world designs are both stylish, stand out and streamlined. Their plugin method can be said the same.
Imagine that each particular inspiration for the artwork is a different colored wooden block, just like the letters children play with. Are the kids still playing with those? I haven’t had a child for a few years. Anyway, artists take every wooden block and can use them, but they want to build their own art. Some people may carve blocks into new shapes, some may break blocks into pieces and then glue new things in the pieces together.
But the movie likes it Forgotten and balance It feels like they grab those obstacles and can only place them next to each other and on top. The best thing they come up with from influence is a bigger obstacle.
I think this mentality is something people are trying to explore when they call movies “derivatives.” I’ll argue balanceThe science fiction story and the world really succumb to bigger obstacles. So even though its themes, character arcs and overall narratives are strongly proposed, they bring little new things to a better story.
Guns, actors and crushed pumpkins
What balance What is indeed proposed is that these literary stories are not a bunch of cool, stupid guns, and Christian Bale looks cool. balance It’s in its best shape when it’s just a simple but stylish action flick. It might be the short action (literally) but Wimmer understands how to make a gunfight to show a unique position or conceptually stylish sequence, such as a power-off gunfight.
Except Christian Bale, the rest balanceThe actors are exactly what they demand and have improved the materials they collaborate with. There is really no weak link in the ensemble. The real hero balance Actually, it’s the actors’ supervisor. I mean, Angus MacFadyen is in it. Komodo from Virtue warriorLove them.
Wimmer really makes the most of the shooting in Berlin, a place of fascist architecture that certainly helps bring home the real world fears he uses balance.
OK, I don’t know where the script can be, so before we talk balanceThe release and box office and all of this good stuff, I just have to let the editor do something, so please put up with me and I’ll explain something soon.
“Temporary Track” is a temporary music soundtrack composed of musical material from the source (usually other movie scores) used when editing videos, allowing filmmakers to use some music before having their own original scores.
If you watch it in as many movies as I can, you can start hearing the original scores trying to sound like some other familiar movie music, and most likely they purchased familiar movie music for their temporary tracks.
This is with balance? If I never have a chance to explain this again, I’ll turn it into balance Very unique choice is used on its temperature track: the crushed pumpkin song “The Beginning Is The Beginning Is The Beginning” Batman and Robin Soundtrack. Not score, soundtrack. Am I all crazy?
The Secret of Balance Success
OK, what’s wrong balance Is the dubbing a failed? Well, most critics didn’t get super warm reception at the time and currently scored 40% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert spawning.
If you view basic data balanceIt was the release of American drama and the box office shooting, which looked like a huge failure, opening on the 20th seat on just 301 screens in the country, when less than 10% of American theater screens were available.
balance The U.S. box office has pooled $1.2 million and another $4.1 million internationally, making it dramatic just a quarter of its $20 million budget. Sounds like bad news, right?
Well, this is an example, before the movie hits a single screen, it has made real money. Thanks to pre-issued sales in different markets around the world, such as drama exhibition fees and home video contracts, balance Distributor Miramax decided to withdraw promotions and ads, which in turn meant reducing the number of screens the movie would play anywhere.
fortunately, balance This failure seems to have been abandoned as viewers help the film become widely accepted. It didn’t keep it powerful for me over time, and some of the bigger obstacle problems today are even clumsy, but I can still enjoy it as simpler or even silly fun. I will take any anti-fascist moves to flick, and I can get it now.
Hey, I’ll even throw Kurt Weimer away the bones. I still say balance It was his best guidance effort, but he also wrote Beekeeper Last year, it surprised me that its sociopolitical commentary was just as stupid and interesting.
balance Stupid and funny, even if it tries to be smarter than it is now, it can be. Absolutely Corn children.
