Generally speaking, Chinese audiences enjoy watching movies for fun, so mindless entertainment movies are often the most popular. As long as there are big stars and gorgeous special effects, they will basically be praised. Even the so-called "Douban", which is famous for its talented people, is also popular. However, few people can really understand movies in China. Don't believe it? Transformers three 》In China, the major media and the Internet have received rave reviews, but the logic of this film is simply wrong. The big guy watched the mecha fighters fight and kill. Who cares if this story can stand up to scrutiny? Besides, I haven't seen anything in China so far NB The "critic" of the "Transformers" said that the logic of the story was wrong. So different people have different opinions on the level of movies that Chinese people enjoy.
However, since everyone's insight is very low, no one needs to pretend to be a petty bourgeoisie. This is not without benefits. At least, no one needs to feel that anyone is superior to others. As for Ben Zhu, from today on, he will also interpret the meaning of some so-called blockbusters for film lovers in the simplest and most accessible way. Think of it as accelerating the popularity of movies among ordinary people! One of the movies that Ben Zhu praised recently is "Escape from Tehran"! In my opinion, there is no doubt that this film will become the best film of Oscar. As for the reason, it is actually very simple, because it is designed to please film critics.
You know, in the eyes of Oscar critics, Avatar, a film relying on special effects, cannot win the documentary style film The Hurt Locker. The reason lies in "people"! "Avatar" is not a human being, nor does it put the performance of people, that is, actors, first. Therefore, this kind of film can sell, but it can not enter the eyes of film critics. However, "Escape from Tehran" is similar to the bomb disposal force in that it is adapted from real events and is documentary. The actor's performance is absolutely dominant in the film. At the same time, the camera explained that everything was in place, whether it was a virtual reality exchange, action details, especially when the plane flew out of Iran six A close-up of each person's expression without music... It's almost the realm of penetrating your heart through the lens. In the end, you don't care who is right or wrong about this, just because of that six Under the leadership of Tony Mendes, I escaped and applauded. Let the story eventually transcend politics and national boundaries and reach the height of humanity and humanism. Such a film is definitely a high score film among Hollywood critics.
In addition, the six people who escaped from Iran were able to save their lives as crew members who made American blockbusters, so the most obvious and profound implication of this story is that American blockbusters, that is, American movies, can actually save lives. This also includes the admiration for American films. So, whether it is film critics or film associations, who would not like such films?
Unfortunately, our lovely compatriots obviously could not understand this height, so they gave the film a political name - Escape from Tehran. The name is actually derogatory to Iran. So in my opinion, this translation is really rubbish. When the protagonists in the film said the sentence "Go to your Argo", Ben felt that it was more appropriate to translate the film into "Argo Action" - of course, the name is very obscure to Chinese audiences, so it is likely to directly affect the box office. Therefore, it may be out of such consideration that the film gave it the name of "fleeing" from Tehran with colorful glasses!!
