Resident Evil 6: The Fall of the Goddess
2002 was not only the sports passion interpreted by the Korean and Japanese World Cup, but also the ultimate exploration of the film and television industry in terms of subject matter. This year, the movie "Resident Evil 1: Mutant Survivor" adapted from a classic Japanese game was launched on the big screen with the unique creativity of Hollywood genius film and television personnel. While conquering the audience, it also officially ushered in the "Legendary Era of the Origin of Zombies".
When it comes to game-adapted movies, I'm afraid no IP can match "Resident Evil". The total box office of 6 movies in 2015 is $1 billion, which is not easy for a science fiction horror movie labeled as B-level "zombie element". Although the series has moved towards an action-adventure blockbuster from the third part, sacrificing the core audience to cater to the 3D market, the reputation is worse than that of the other.
But as the originator of classic zombie films, "Resident Evil" has set off a biochemical frenzy around the world since its launch. The Cospaly, VR games, comics, and dolls derived from the film are also highly admired by movie fans. It can even be said that "Resident Evil" has given birth to a new way of entertainment.
Time flies, and the years pass by. In the blink of an eye, the "Resident Evil" series has gone through 15 years. The biochemical world is full of murderous intent, the classic zombie shapes, textbook-style combat movements, goddess Alice uses her more and more courageous attitude to seek ecology, which has also made countless movie fans fall in love with this epoch-making classic film and television IP. In addition to paying tribute, there is only inexplicable emotion and helplessness towards the passage of time.
It has been 4 years since "Resident Evil 6" the previous "Resident Evil 5". As the final chapter, the plot echoes before and after, and the big party of the biochemical film family is almost a plot routine that can be imagined. After being betrayed by Wisk, Alice learned from the Red Queen that there was an antidote in the lair of the Umbrella Company that could eliminate the virus that turned billions of humans into walking dead. The only remaining human shelter will be completely cleared within 48 hours, and Alice must arrive at the headquarters of the Umbrella Company, Raccoon City, to obtain the antidote.
As the last savior, Alice took on the important task of saving mankind, and at the same time fought against Dr. Alexander, the mastermind behind the scenes, to fight to the death, and set out her last fight to prevent human extinction. On the way to Raccoon City, Alice meets her former friends and sneaks into the Umbrella Company's nest with some survivors to fight zombies and mutant monsters together.
It's a pity that Resident Evil 6 only completed the former. In fact, Director Paul has been working again since the fourth part and intends to create the "Resident Evil Cinema Universe". Unfortunately, Alice's protagonist has a strong aura and almost no one can tolerate members of the orthodox biochemical family in her own movies. In addition, the screen performance of other members is very bad, not to mention independent films or TV.It's possible. The biochemical film family can be said to have died before they were formed.
On the other hand, it is because the Resident Evil series did not catch up with the 2008 wave of film industry that "copyrights turn over and take over as masters and monopolize the production power." The series has been on the road of "degamification" of copyright selling and has no intention of turning back. Now that I want to poach people from the original work, the model of goddess dominance is already deeply rooted and terminally ill. It is too late to move out the core lineup of the Biochemical Game Family.
"Alice succeeds and fails," Over the past 15 years, Alice has passed through the level and fought monsters, bringing many surprises to the audience. How many 15 years have you lived? When she was acting in "Resident Evil 1" in 2002, Mira was 26 years old. In the era of prosperity, we saw a wonderful literary drama and a ignited martial arts scene. Since filming "Resident Evil 2", there have been more fighting scenes and the difficulty of action has become increasingly difficult. By the time of "Resident Evil 6", Mira Jovovic was 42 years old and the mother of two children. We still see "Alice" wearing combat heavy clothes, covered in bruises and bruises. Real things are touched and sad.
But the "degamification" adaptation, enabling the original heroine, has achieved temporary success. Now, due to the rigid story pattern, the serious reliance on the original heroine has resulted in no one being the leader, lacking fresh blood and outstanding faces, and finally heading to a dead end of no successors. It is difficult for the orthodox biochemical family to gather again, and the core highlights of the horror of survival are gradually disappearing.
No matter how big a cultural gold mine is, it will be a day when you spend nothing. What you blindly compromise with the mass market will ultimately be unsustainable box office reputation and the increasingly exhausted creative inspiration. Therefore, "Resident Evil 6" is the end. The weak sentiment pieced together with time is a summary of 15 years of time. Witnessing the fall of the goddess, and also recording everyone's growth and transformation. In the promotional video of "Resident Evil 6", there is a line: "This is my story, Alice's story." Of course this is also the story of each of us.
