Avengers: Infinity War” as the 10th anniversary of Marvel’s heavyweight masterpiece, from the beginning of the release has been a large number of fans of the enthusiastic pursuit and attention, not only at the box office to harvest a jaw-dropping results, in the word of mouth, but also basically maintain the level of commercial blockbuster should be. With the slow unfolding of the film’s anti-heroism, all kinds of eggs, analysis, and even spoilers are swarming, which, while satisfying the psychology of comic book fans, also somehow makes people ignore what really belongs to the film itself. In a fever past, the next fever is about to hit, let us calm down to take a good look at the tenth anniversary of the Marvel movie.
For the Russo brothers, who need dozens of Marvel heroes in one movie, it is obvious that the 150-minute length puts a huge pressure on them and the whole team. Therefore, the director has adopted a rather clever narrative approach, which is also based on the experience of previous films.
The film uses a three-line narrative, the many heroes divided into three different spaces of parallel combinations, each battlefield are able to play a big hero to drive the pace, so Iron Man, Captain America and Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy were set on three different planets to fight. This on the one hand makes the story will not be cluttered because of the many characters, on the other hand makes the three main heroes of the battlefield can have a larger play and show space to fully meet the cult mentality of fans.
But at the same time, this three-line narrative way in the pressure of dispersed shooting, but also makes the film’s overall plot becomes slightly loose, the story of the three spaces only by virtue of weak links to establish connections, the lack of effective friction and communication between the battlefield, so that the three groups of people show a sense of fragmentation, which is the screenwriter in dealing with the complexity of the problem shows the inability and carelessness, it should be said, from the collection of comic book heroes together The loose and fragmented structure also somehow weakens the climactic effect of this emotional resonance, in terms of the emotional appeal and desire to fight the enemy.
And from the plot to promote the use of the hero’s IQ lower limit to cause mistakes, so as to promote the plot is a big fatal problem, especially Star-Lord because of personal feelings make other heroes to grab the gloves failed this plot, indeed still lack of polish, for comic book fans, enough to forgive, but for the comic book movie to send, can also do better.
For the Russell brothers, they in the “reunion 3” for the heroes and the overall control of the scene can be said to be within the ability to be competent, and from the previous level of scheduling, the Russell brothers have also shown the talent for the scene and scheduling. In principle, with so many superheroes, for the film’s scenes and special effects shooting, is a great asset, each hero just need to render their shocking skills, the whole film will look wonderful, but the director obviously did not make maximum use of the highlights of these Marvel heroes to shape the scenes.
Therefore, we see the scenes more towards the ordinary popcorn movie shooting method, more like a mere patchwork, but not to do organic integration, which is the Russell brothers in control of the scene can make the movie more exciting place, such as the two most impressive scenes are the cool debut of the U.S. team in the dark and Thor fell from the sky over the prairie, the earth thunder scene is enough to make people worth the price of admission. If you can less patterned fighting, and more combined with the character skills of the key special effects scenes, will be more than a group fight to let people straight addiction.
The comic book movie held back a decade, finally secretly to the comic book fans to offer a big trick, that is the sunset of the anti-heroism thinking, for the film, if you exclude the pre-dramatic factors, the comic book heroes of this part of the ending will be a very powerful ending, but also a very good human proposition. From the once “all Superman Hancock” to Logan old “Wolverine 3”, all are telling a story of the fall of the hero, the collective fate of the Marvel heroes shows the powerlessness of humans in the face of the universe and the lack of, and it is this anti-hero plot to make the once invincible heroes become real and grounded.
If the Marvel heroes are floating in the worship of the divine detective this decade, then this tenth anniversary of the “reunion 3” is precisely the heroes of the divine and human side of the greatest combination, only some can not, in order to appear to be able to have when the hard and precious. Although the film still has some technical shortcomings, but as the eagerly awaited tenth anniversary of the Marvel film, together with so many heroes is its most blood swelling place, if you like these heroes, enjoy the viewing time, perhaps this is “Avengers: Infinity War” to bring fans the greatest significance.
