936 Son of War
But, why?
This is a question raised by almost all British media. "Why?" "Raging Road" cannot be regarded as a fantasy movie. Although the background of the work is set as a wasteland world, it can be regarded as a setting that transcends reality, compared to "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", the fantasy elements of the movie are obviously not convincing; "Raging Road" does not have a heart-stirring love story like "Titanic" as a gimmick, nor does it have a British actor like Kate Winslet joining it, so it is difficult to become the motivation for audiences to enter the cinema. All of this seems to be destined to be difficult for the box office journey of "Raging Road" in the UK, but reality gives completely different answers.
If you analyze it in depth, there are probably two reasons: First, after the release of "Rampant Road", it was deeply trapped in a whirlpool of controversy and encountered strong rejection by the British aristocratic class. However, the disconnection between the elite and the mass class has always been one of the important contradictions in British society. The mass class has been far more attentive to eliminate discrimination than in North America. The process of women's rights in the UK has always been the focus of hot discussion. Britain not only has a queen, but also under the leadership of Margaret-thatcher
After 21 years, this is much ahead of the United States, which has not yet elected a female president; secondly, the live visual effects of the "Raging Road" undoubtedly open up a new world. On the one hand, it adheres to traditional shooting technology and minimizes the influence of computer special effects, but on the other hand, it is pioneering and innovative, presenting the ultimate visual effects in traditional ways. This is one step closer than the "Titanic". The shock it brings to people is huge, and more importantly, the impact on the film process is also huge.
Of course, what determines the box office trend curve of the movie is the quality of the work. "Avatar" can lead to a British total box office curve of 150 million with only 13 million in the premiere box office; "Twilight 4: Dawn (Part 1)" achieved a good result of 21 million on the premiere weekend, but in the end, the British total box office was only 48 million.
However, the "Rampage Road" seems to be completely different to worry about this. With the fanaticism of the premiere weekend, a new culture is rising: a group of fans who call themselves "Sons of War" begin to become active in the Yahoo community and grow like snowballs in just a few weeks.
This group of fans gathered because of the "Raging Road". They fanatically and persistently analyzed every detail in the movie, from the character setting to the plot direction, and even every character and picture brought by the close-ups in the base were analyzed. After analysis, the fans became more and more crazy. They found that the film was like a treasure house, and the details continuously excavated not only complete the entire worldview of the wasteland world, but also perfected the ins and outs of the wasteland world background. This made people think a lot, for example, are there other tribes besides the bullet farm and gasoline town? For example, how did Immortal Old Qiao take the water source and occupy the mountains as king; and how Ferosa became a general step by step...
It's like "Star Wars" has established a magnificent universe for movie fans. "Raging Road" truly presents the scene of the apocalypse, and then forms a unique culture. However, compared to the power of the villain power of "Star Wars", "Raging Road" seems to lack a tough villain after the death of Immortal Old Joe, which has an impact on the development of the sequel and the framework of the world. But this is precisely the part that movie fans are most curious about - how to survive in the harsh environment of the apocalypse while dealing with the coercion of the villain power will undoubtedly determine the final height of this series of works. The premise is that Lance is willing to shoot the sequel.
Before this, Lance constructed a crime trilogy, and "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Rampant Road" also echoed the main body of the crime trilogy to a certain extent. Therefore, the audience has reason to believe that the sequel will present a complete worldview, and the final product will definitely not be inferior to "Star Wars" - not to mention, the height of "Star Wars First Part: New Hope" can never be exceeded, which is also the place where many people criticize George Lucas, but people are willing to firmly believe that judging from Lance's past credit index, he will never make such a mistake.
The more you analyze, the more interesting it becomes, and the more you analyze, the more fanatical it becomes. The enthusiasm of the fans was completely pushed to the extreme. They worship Lance, admire Lance, admire Lance, follow Lance, and long to sprint with Lance, and witness the ups and downs of the world on the way to the Valhalla together, witness Lance, witness history, and themselves.
More importantly, "Raging Road" is one step closer than "Star Wars". The movie abandons gender bias and truly brings the charm of human nature, freedom, and dreams to the extreme; and also gives up the fixed mode of lone heroes to carry forward the power of teamwork; not to mention the mirror style and character style of steampunk and metal rock, it makes everyone fall into glasses. This is indeed shocking for a commercial movie, but it is precisely this cult style that takes the wrong approach to the film, which has become the greatest charm of the movie and won the pursuit of countless audiences - people have long been tired of the fixed mode of Hollywood, and the uniqueness of "Raging Road" has become a beautiful landscape.
So, the son of war rose up like this.
Unprecedentedly, a group of fanatical movie fans who focus on directors appeared, as if they worship Stanley Kubrick. These movie fans willingly worship Lance, believing in gods, and unswervingly believe that Lance is a master in the movie hall. He is destined to write a magical history to reach a height that Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin and others have not been able to reach - truly perfectly combine business and art and completely change the development context of the entire film industry.
This idea is really crazy. In the long century, there have been countless movie masters, but no one dared to confidently claim that they have found a balance between business and art, which is the highest realm that the film industry has been pursuing tirelessly. But now, the sons of war believe so, that Lance is that person, the person who has been waiting for in the long history of film.
