Chapter 314 Why is "Resident Evil" a failure?(2/2)
"From a certain level, "Resident Evil" is a failed movie, because Romero seems to have just filmed the content of the original "Resident Evil" unchanged, leaving no surprises."
"However, it is worth mentioning that it is not easy to photograph the contents of the original "Resident Evil". When readers read the book, they will always construct some scenes in the novel in their minds.
The picture imagined by every reader will probably be different, but imagination also has its extremes, and Romero shows this extreme well."
"Romero was very smart, because he knew that it would be difficult to adapt such a popular novel, so he never thought of tampering with the plot, but presented the plot of the novel to the audience as it was.
Audiences."
"When the plot of the female corpse in the novel became a picture, I once again felt the fear I felt when reading the novel... Therefore, Romero seemed to have done nothing, but he did everything. He seemed not to
Surprise anyone, but not let anyone down..."
After reading Almond's article, Fernandez couldn't laugh or cry. He originally thought that Almond was really going to criticize "Resident Evil" severely. He was even ready to pick on Almond, but he didn't know that this guy didn't know how to criticize "Resident Evil".
It's just naked praise.
And it not only praised the movie, but also highly praised the original novel.
The core of the entire article is: the novel is so well written that even if Romero didn't make any movies, it wouldn't be too bad. However, Romero also exerted his own skills and presented the original plot in the novel perfectly.
.
Of course, in addition to this, Almond also complained about Winona Ryder, who plays the heroine, although she is very beautiful and has a good temperament, but she is a bit short in height.
In fact, when Fernandez first watched the movie, he also felt that the heroine was a bit short, but after watching it for the second time, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have accepted the heroine's appearance as Winona Ryder.
Although Winona is not tall, her acting skills are very good and she gives people a very crisp and sharp feeling.
Fernandez carefully cut out the film review from the New York Daily News, and then carefully placed it in the box. At this point, he added another piece to his collection.
After reading the movie review, he decided to go to the cinema to watch "Resident Evil" again tonight and take a closer look at the scenes that Almond mentioned in the movie review.
Maybe this time, he can get some different feelings.
…
Jimmy also saw Almond's film review, and then called Almond to express his gratitude.
After receiving Jimmy's call, Armond thanked Jimmy, "James, thank you for reminding me. Although this film review is different from my previous style, it seems that the response is very good."
Jimmy smiled and said: "I just made a trivial suggestion."
Almond is a professional film critic, and the reason why he said good things about the movie was not because of what Jimmy did in it, but because he really felt that the movie was worth recommending.
As for Jimmy's proposal, it was about the title.
After Jimmy learned about Almond's attitude towards the movie, he suggested that he not praise it as usual, but write something different, and then gave him some ideas.
The reason why Jimmy did this was actually for the sake of the novel.
If Almond had simply praised "Resident Evil", the audience might just think that the movie was good. But after writing it like this, even if the audience has not read the novel, they will feel that the novel "Resident Evil" is well written when they read the film review.
It was so good that I had the urge to read the novel.
