The total production cost of 1030 10 was about $65,438 billion, which was also a proper blockbuster in that year. Its opponent should be the starship force.
However, the box office of this film is much worse than that of Titanic, with only over 100 million dollars. Compared with the legitimate investment, it was thrown into the street. This directly led to the two sequels of the film being shoddy, selling only DVDs and not showing them in cinemas. The film is probably broken, and I want to use cheap DVD to recover the loss.
In addition, the reputation of Titanic seems to be average. The score of domestic watercress is only 7.8, which is really not high for watercress which is generally superstitious about foreign blockbusters.
However, it is such a movie with a low box office that I actually watched it more than ten times. Why?
Maybe, the taste of this movie is too straight.
First, the hard science fiction of violent aesthetics
The first time I saw starship troopers, it seemed like I was in a DVD rental store. There was no TV and computer in the dormitory, so I rented it and watched it directly in other people's stores. I remember it was worth two dollars.
At that time, I was stunned by the magnificent hard science fiction scene in starship troopers. Although I have seen starship troopers and Star Wars before, I don't feel as passionate as Dreadwind-The Earth Strikes Back, especially the soundtrack and scene of the first parachute descent of the infantry mobile unit to the Krasnodar Zerg base camp, which makes people feel as excited and lively as the sci-fi version of Normandy.
Of course, there are violent images everywhere in the film. Honestly, it's a little bloody. For example, instructor Jim's bloody and cruel training method makes people feel scared.
Not to mention the hundreds of ways that big bugs kill people in the war between humans and insects. If many shots are put on the internet alone, I'm afraid they can't be displayed. It was bloody.
In a word, starship troopers is a violent sci-fi movie, which is very suitable for boys, especially straight men.
Second, green tea and spare tires.
For straight men, starship troopers's love drama is very aesthetic for straight men.
First, there are beautiful women, typical blondes. Denise richards, who plays the heroine Carmen, is famous for her angelic face. She captured Chandler and Ross in Starfleet, and even almost showed her charm to Phoebe Bai Wan. Besides, she was a Bond girl, but unfortunately her partner was Sophie Marceau.
Carmen has typical green tea attributes in the film. When the man was a rich second generation, she and the man were boyfriend and girlfriend, but she ate in a bowl and watched in a pot. When she was a trainee pilot, she flirted with her partner Thornton.
After Carmen became a pilot, she broke up with the infantry Rico decisively and said, "Let's be friends."
What annoys the author is that when Rico and Sander were fighting for Carmen, Carmen was obviously on Sander's side, but she didn't say anything about Rico. There is a feeling that you feel wronged for my mother, but she is depressed on the outside and happy on the inside.
Thornton gave Carmen the only dagger in his hand, but it was sucked dry by a clever bug. Carmen escaped the crisis with a dagger and was saved by Rico. As a result, as soon as she got out of the predicament, the goods took Rico, who had become an officer, to celebrate the victory and forgot all about Thornton.
I have to say that Carmen's role as a green tea beauty is in line with the aesthetics of straight men. On the one hand, she can like her face with great fanfare, on the other hand, she can spit out her bitch with great fanfare.
Relatively speaking, Edith, another hostess, is also a straight man's dish. Edith's appearance is not as amazing as Carmen's, but it's good. The key is that she has always been devoted to Rico, and can even be his career assistant.
Do you think such a top spare tire is every boy's dream? You can fight, you can help others, and sometimes. The key is that people are not only short notice, but also very single-minded. This spare tire should not be too attractive.
Sadly, just as the man accepted Edith, Edith died. In the subsequent battle, the man hooked up with the goddess Carmen in his mind without any obstacles. In other words, the man has never really liked discos, and his yearning for green tea remains the same.
To tell the truth, this love triangle routine is really a straight man's dish.
Third, the poverty of the rich second generation and the _ diaosi counterattack.
Nowadays, there is a routine in online novels, that is, when the God of War was bullied at the lowest valley of his life, he suddenly fell down and out for some reason, which stimulated his potential and then made a phone call. Before, hundreds of his soldiers replied that a henhouse was built for the God of War, who once again reached the peak of his life by raising chickens.
If the protagonist's plot trend is "bottom-Gu Feng-bottom", such a plot will generally make people reflect. On the other hand, if it is "Gu Feng-Valley-Gu Feng", it will undoubtedly make the audience reflect and feel good.
JohnnyRico, the male owner of 1030 10, is like this. The rich second generation came out. Although their math scores are poor, they play well. Rico has gone through a series of changes since he joined the infantry mobile unit. After the training accident, he wanted to retire and go home to inherit wealth, but his parents died and his family was ruined. In the subsequent battle, comrades-in-arms died one by one, and Rico was gradually promoted from a soldier to a lieutenant. The ups and downs of the plot are very enjoyable, and his life is simply too ups and downs.
Fourth, the details worth pondering.
When I watched Friends three or four times, I didn't feel bored. I'll watch it whenever I get a chance. When I watched it again, because the plot was already very clear, the rest was just thinking about some details. Don't tell me, there are many details in starship troopers worth chewing and pondering.
Needless to say, the two scenes of "group bath" and "Ricketts finally getting together" mentioned by boys are the usual tricks of Hollywood movies. If you don't show any feelings, the film will be as sorry as not being made.
Of course, the details of fan excavation are far more than that. For example, Carl's uniform and the soldiers of the infantry mobile unit look familiar.
For example, these LOGO seem to have been seen somewhere.
Also, why are Rico, Tis and Carmen's hometown in Buenos Aires?
Not to mention the professor's controversial remarks and the repeated job advertisements in TV advertisements.
So some people say that Starfleet is an innuendo, while others say it is a satire. Anyway, at least these details are enough for you to dig and ponder.
Fifth, the classic war bridge
The author's place
I've watched starship troopers more than ten times. Besides watching it actively, some of them are passive.
At that time, there were DVD players in small restaurants, and the movie that was often shown at lunch was Starfleet. A group of college students ate and watched the pictures in the movie, and they didn't feel very good.
The TV in the shopping mall needs to play demonstration pictures. In those years, there were Tomb Raider, Gladiator and Starship Team. The classic scenes in these three movies have been played repeatedly, and I can't help but watch them more every time I go.
I have to say that in those days, small TV stations all had short message on demand service, and they could order the movies they wanted to watch on TV. Starfleet is almost the most watched movie.
Of course, the repeated clips of starship troopers are basically focused on "defending the fortress" and "catching intelligent insects", among which "defending the fortress" is really wonderful and is also the usual routine of large movies. Don't you think the Great Wall will be photographed like this?
As for the slots that some viewers spit out, such as StarCraft, why are they still fighting with submachine guns? Actually, there's no need to struggle. If bombers add nuclear bombs or even throw meteorites at each other directly in space, there is nothing to see.
Finally, after watching starship troopers so many times, I want to say that this film left the author with the deepest memory. Of course, it is the importance of math scores. Officers with special functions, pilots with 97 points in mathematics, and infantry mobile units with 35 points in mathematics. It seems that mathematics is really important.
