Chapter 1149 Spoiler Warning
"Is this, is this crazy? What on earth are New Line Cinema thinking?"
"I have a bold idea, it might be Anson's idea."
"...Isn't that the case?"
"Think about how crazy the 'Cat and Mouse' pop-up surprise event was last year. At that time, we were still looking forward to whether Anson would come to Paris."
"Ha, if it were Paris, I'd also be curious which cinema Anson would choose."
"So, I think it's very possible that Anson will continue to break the imagination this year. The New Line Cinema distribution team doesn't have such a genius idea in their heads."
"But even for Anson, isn't such a strategy crazy?"
Chirping, rustling.
The discussion couldn't stop at all, and every face was filled with excitement and excitement.
In the small space of "Light and Shadow", movie lovers expressed their opinions one after another.
In the crowd, Karl remained silent, immersed in his own thoughts.
Then, Carl came up with a bold idea and threw it out hesitantly.
"Is it possible that Anson did this on purpose?"
The surrounding people looked around, and the comments became slightly quieter.
"From the beginning of the premiere's new format, Anson has been emphasizing the 'butterfly effect', where every choice we make may lead to different results."
"So, Anson also leaves the choice to the cinema managers."
"On the one hand, what version of the ending the cinema manager chooses and how to arrange the shows may affect the cinema's own box office results."
"On the other hand, we can see which version of the ending is encountered in which scene and what the audience's viewing experience is, which will also have a chain reaction."
Heh.
The surroundings suddenly became lively, and the rustling discussions could not stop at all.
Someone nearby exclaimed, "But, isn't this bad for the movie's box office?"
Carl nodded, "This is the purpose."
"Anson knew that the theater manager's decision and the audience's reaction would directly affect the box office, but he still handed over the decision-making power."
"Movie box office will become an unknown factor and completely disrupt this year's holiday market."
shock!
A piece of sluggishness.
Then someone said, "It's like a big social experiment."
Wow!
Admiration, exclamation, surprise, all kinds of reactions erupted like a volcano.
Even Carl himself could not imagine how Anson came up with such a publicity plan. The movie completely broke the fourth wall and extended the dramatic effect in the movie to the real world——
You don’t even need to ask anyone else, Carl himself is the best example.
By watching the movie, I was unknowingly drawn into this dramatic whirlpool.
In terms of plot alone, Carl agrees with North American film critics that the two screenwriters lack social experience and life experience, and all the plot arrangements are too taken for granted, completely reflecting the mindset of college fraternity boys.
But the movie is obviously more than that. The actors, led by Anson, add a lot of color to the movie and break the fourth wall, allowing the dramatic tension to pour into the audience.
Carr believes that if it were not Anson, but any other actor to play the role of Evan, the effect of the film would be greatly reduced. Moreover, after the movie ended, the storm in my mind still did not stop, being involved in the butterfly effect in all aspects, resulting in a series of subsequent reactions.
So, before he woke up, Carl had already appeared in "Light and Shadow", exploring the ending of the second version of the movie with a group of new friends.
Later, Carl recorded all his thoughts in a film review on his blog.
"...We can't help but wonder if life would have been different if it had been like this before, or like that before. However, Anson Wood used the time of a movie and the entire movie's release planning to tell the story of the uncontrollability of life:
Instead of dreaming about perfection, it is better to accept the accidents and shortcomings calmly. It is better to embrace the wounds and pain calmly and find the strength to move on.
Indeed, the plot of "Butterfly Effect" is... naive and stupid. In order to highlight the dramatic effect, the single-threaded narrative method completely fails to feel the impermanence and complexity of fate; but it is precisely behind such a narrative that the audience is left with room for thinking - —
Look, keep it simple, such a simple plot, such a simple story, how do you choose in front of the screen?
The movie gives five versions of the ending, which one do you like?
Complete the final end of this movie with the audience's choice, the real end:
Maybe the French like tragedy; maybe Americans like happy endings; maybe the Chinese like regretful incompleteness.
And so on and so forth.
This is the most cunning part of the movie. Sitting in front of the big screen, you have also become a part of Anson's social experiment, including those high-ranking film critics.
When you laugh at Anson as a vase, Anson is laughing at your stupidity.
So, do you really understand? ”
In his blog, Karl spoke freely and did not hide his opinions at all. He not only praised the movie, but also pointed his gun at those pretentious film critics and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
score?
Carl has no ratings, this is a blog, only his own opinions.
But at the end of the blog, Carl did express his views with the words "highly recommended" and "must-see". There is no doubt that this is a work not to be missed.
This blog caused a huge response.
First in Europe, and then through translation, it crossed the Atlantic and then the Pacific, and spread widely in major forums around the world, causing a series of heated discussions.
The popularity is still rising, and it has even left the small circle of movie fans to attract attention among other ethnic groups, once again standing in the center of the controversy.
In the center of the mighty storm, some netizens asked soul questions:
So, what exactly is the ending?
I've talked so much nonsense. Isn't it just a marketing strategy for the movie? There is no need to forcefully increase the height. In the final analysis, it is just a promotional method. Therefore, it has been 24 hours since the movie was officially released. Have all five endings appeared? Has anyone found all the answers?
In a lively atmosphere, there are always people pouring cold water on others, and there are always people pretending to be the right ones.
Just wait for a while, netizens will obediently post the endings of all five versions, and then these right-wingers will criticize condescendingly:
But little.
However!
This time things are slightly different.
Before netizens responded to the call to announce the ending, an opinion quietly spread:
No spoilers.
In 2003, because social networks had not yet appeared, the possibility of information dissemination and exposure was relatively low, and the matter of "spoilers" did not rise to a new level. Although people still didn't like spoilers, it was limited to forums. spoilers, not everyone can see it.
Therefore, netizens are not so vigilant yet.
But this time, no one knows where this trend started. The slogan "Reject Spoilers" began to be spread out in major forums:
Netizens believe that they should decide for themselves whether they need to see the whole ending, and what ending should they see? No need for other people to meddle.
