1905 movie network news Two years ago, a spy film that didn’t take the usual path exploded like fireworks, grabbing 400 million dollars at the box office around the world, and also gained excellent box office and reputation at home, winning many fans. On October 20 th, the sequel to the return of all employees will meet with you again.
In the second part, besides watching "Dan Zi" and the Swedish princess continue to flirt, and many Hollywood superstars such as Julianne Moore, halle berry, channing tatum, pedro pascal and Jeff Bridges are playing with each other, the most anticipated thing is how our "face uncle" colin firth can "come back to life" and regain his former glory.
In the last film, Harry went to the church in Kentucky to chase the villain Valentine, and he fell into the trap of the other side. His brain waves were controlled by the SIM card of his mobile phone, and he came to a "church with a hundred people beheaded". Harry, who walked out of the church, was shot in the head by Valentine, who supposedly died. Uncle Ke Lian, as the spiritual mentor of the balls and the soul core of Kingsman, accepted the lunch so easily before the climax war was unveiled, which really made thousands of fans accept incompetence.
In addition to the Kingsman series,directorMatthew VaughnThe masterpiece is also with "X-Men: First Class》
Don’t worry about sending blades to the director and screenwriter. Matthew Vaughn, the original director with a clear mind, had already planned it. As early as April 2015, he said that if he continued to make a sequel, he could bring Uncle Face back to life. So, after the sequel was put on the agenda, the writers worked together and racked their brains to plan to arrange twin brothers for Harry, or to save Harry by flashback. However, all these plans were rejected by the director, and Uncle Face’s resurrection was once deadlocked, and even the news that he would not join the second film came out.
Halle BerryandChanning TatumAs Statesman, he is the savior of Uncle Face.
In the end, how did Uncle Face come back to life? There is a slight spoiler here. Kingsman’s cousin in America — — The spy organization Statesman has invented a new technology, which is simply a headshot buster. After Uncle Face was shot in the head at the church gate, Statesman, who was also in Kentucky, arrived immediately, bandaged his wound with alpha glue, and then repaired his brain nerve with nano-repair technology. However, there is a small bug in this technology, that is, the injured person will lose part of his memory after rehabilitation until his brain is stimulated.
Uncle Face became Cyclops after his resurrection.
What, you think it’s ridiculous? Reminiscent of the first SIM card of Valentine’s mobile phone to control the human brain, and then to the second "Half-step Epilepsy with a Smile" by the Devil Bobby, Uncle Face’s method of coming back from the dead is still in line with the film style, and in order to make this black technology not particularly abrupt, it is also used once on another important character in the film, which strengthens the rationality and practicability of this technology.
Julianne Moore plays a new generation of villain Boss.
It is said that the protagonists in film and television works wear their own "protagonist aura", just like Xiaoqiang who can’t be killed. No matter the sword, halberd, axe, hook and fork, arsenic, crane top red and dichlorvos, they can’t hurt them. However, some writers who shake their hands like to kill the protagonists and bring them back to life when the audience is tortured.
This kind of situation is more common in series movies and TV series, because in a two-hour movie, the protagonist is brought to death. If it is an infinite loop movie like this, it makes sense, but if the actor and Optimus Prime are allowed to cheat death again and again like at the end, the screenwriter will not only be laughed at for worrying IQ, but also be greeted by all relatives.
Almost ended this series of transformers 3.
There are four reasons why series of movies and TV series like to kill the protagonist: restarting, changing roles, upgrading and setting suspense.
First, restart
"Restart" means that the director originally wanted to end a series and wrote the protagonist to death. Unexpectedly, the audience reacted too strongly and were unwilling to accept this ending, or the project needed to be restarted for commercial reasons, so we need to find a way to write the protagonist again.
Arthur Conan Doyle
One of the most typical representatives is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous The Last Case. Conan Doyle is a doctor, and writing is only his sideline, so when he wrote to his mother, he complained, "I’m thinking of killing Holmes …" … Kill him, and it’s over. He takes up too much of my time. " Thus, in The Last Case, published in December 1893, Sherlock Holmes and his sworn enemy Professor moriarty fell off the Lessing Bach Waterfall, and the story of Sherlock Holmes came to an end. However, I didn’t expect this ending to cause serious dissatisfaction among the fans. They even went to Jazz’s house to smash the glass. So at the strong request of the fans, Holmes came back to life in the Empty House.
Similarly, it opened the door to American dramas for countless mainland audiences. After entering the third and fourth seasons, the story of this post-80 s masterpiece was weak and the ratings continued to be poor. Fox finally decided to stop making it. So the screenwriter wrote "Mi Shuai" at the end of the fourth season. Mike sacrificed himself to help Sarah escape from prison. What a touching ending. However, eight years later, the "Prison Break Brothers" — — Wentworth Miller and Dominic Poucel decided to restart the series, which of course required Mike to come back to life.
Second, change the angle
As for the "angle-changing" type of resurrection, it is even more interesting. Among them, Doctor Who, a long-lived science fiction drama in Britain, holds the Guinness World Record for the longest science fiction TV series, and its status in Britain is equivalent to that in the United States. Tell the story of the immortal alien Doctor sitting in a telephone booth-shaped time machine, shuttling between ancient times and the future. However, this series has a very wonderful setting, that is, every time I prepare to change the starring role, I will write Doctor to death first, and then he will come back to life with a new appearance, new clothes and even new personality, which has become the unique skill of this alien. Now Doctor will be updated to the thirteenth term, and the first female Doctor will be welcomed.
Thirteen actors of Doctor
Similarly, there is Prison Break mentioned above. In addition to the male host Mike, the female host Sarah has also experienced the resurrection from the dead. It is said that because the actress sarah wayne callies didn’t cooperate with the crew after she was pregnant, the screenwriter wanted to write her to death and kick her out of the crew. But then the relationship between the two sides eased, so the screenwriter let her go. So offending no one can offend the screenwriter!
Third, upgrade
There is another type, that is, by faking the death of the character, the all-round upgrade of the character’s ability is realized, just like the phoenix nirvana, so that the character can smoothly transition to the next stage. For example, the death of Shen Xing in the just-concluded annual drama "Full Moon Blossoms That Year". After Zhou Ying was rescued from the prison, Zhao Baishi took her to the grave where Shen Xing moved, saying that he was dead. First hero, as the whole drama, had an unacceptable scribbled ending, so the audience were heartbroken and put forward various ideas of suspended animation. Sure enough, after four episodes, Shen Xing moved back to life, but this time he is no longer a big lover who only thinks about Zhou Ying, Shen Xing moved, but turned into a reformist Kang Zhuowen who is full of family and country’s righteousness and strong political reform.
A similar situation is also common in Hollywood blockbusters, such as Neo in the movie. Coming back from the dead made him upgrade from a trivial computer hacker to a savior, thus breaking through the ID and ego, meditating to a new realm, and realizing his full potential. It was a bloody resurrection! And Gandalf in the movie, in order to help the justice of Middle-earth, killed all the way back from hell, upgraded from a gray wizard to a blinding white wizard, and his fighting capacity will be off the charts!
Fourth, suspense
The last kind of resurrection is the most common, mainly at the end of the film through the death of the protagonist to push the narrative to a climax, and then create suspense and gimmicks, causing heated public opinion and media attention, thus providing room for plot turning for subsequent works. This is the case, whether Uncle Face can be resurrected or not and how to resurrect it have become the focus of the sequel film.
In addition, the middle Groot sacrificed himself at the end of the first film to protect everyone. Fortunately, he was a tree, and he was resurrected when he inserted a branch. The newborn little Groot also became a cute actor in the second film. I don’t know if in the future third film, director james gunn will revive the courage that was lost in the second film. And finally, Elizabeth from ruin, let Captain Jack and the Norwegian sea monster perish together, and then in the third part, a group of people go to the pirates’ hell "magic prison" to save Captain Jack. These rebirth have brought extraordinary tension to the narrative of the works.

However, there are still great risks in bringing the protagonist back to life, because the audience will have a lot of speculations and ideas about the method of rebirth. If the screenwriter’s handling method is not clever enough, the final effect is often counterproductive. For example, in the famous English drama "Detective Charlotte", everyone knows that Charlotte faked her death and will definitely survive. Therefore, many fans have designed various possibilities according to the scene of Charlotte jumping off a building at the end of the second part, each with a clear head. As a result, the screenwriter filmed the three most respected assumptions when the answer was announced in the third season. However, after two years of long waiting, the audience can no longer be satisfied with these common assumptions, and they all say that the level of screenwriters is so much, and they feel as if they have been fooled.
A very similar scene also appeared in the popular American TV series. After Ji Xue died in the fifth season, the whole crew strictly said that she would not be resurrected, and actor kit harington also said that she would only appear as a dead body in the next season. However, as soon as the sixth season was launched, Jiong Xue really came back to life, and the methods and reasons were exactly the same as those speculated by netizens, and there was nothing new at all. As a result, Harrington had to release an apology video, apologizing for "cheating" the fans in the past year.
Therefore, the fatal blow of bringing the protagonist back to life still needs to be used with caution. If it is not used properly, it will not only fail to gain box office and ratings, but will arouse fans’ resentment and consume their enthusiasm for the work.
