From a professional perspective, which movie in the "Resident Evil" series has the highest quality?

Don’t even think about it, the first one must be of the highest quality. If the first one fails, there will be no subsequent sequels. To give a simple example, although the first movie of "Warcraft" had a respectable box office, its production cost was also extremely high, and its reputation was average. So far, there has been no news about the second movie of "Warcraft" (I guess there will definitely be of). Next, we will analyze in detail why "Resident Evil" (the first part) is the best film in the series.

1. Excellent overall rhythm control

The story type of "Resident Evil" is what we call the ghost monster model, which is a house, a monster, and an original sin. In the first series, the house was an underground laboratory, the monsters were zombies, and the original sin was greed. The main core of this genre is escape, and the main motivation of the characters is survival. For a mature genre film, the overall rhythm is becoming more and more mature. To give a simple example, the most sold car in China is Santana, because the overall structure of this car has been tempered for many times, and it seems to have simple functions, but it is mature. Specifically in the first part of "Resident Evil", the overall structure of the story is rigorous and clear, and the theme is clear. Looking at the structure of the story, there are several key points to look at. The first one is the midpoint. After the midpoint, the story as a whole goes to a trough, with bad things happening one after another. The second one is to look at the tower crisis. The so-called tower crisis, It is at the climax of the story that you think the protagonist has solved the final BOSS, but in the end the BOSS is not dead and comes for the last counterattack; the third one is called the comeback at the end, that is, you think you have escaped and ascended to heaven, but in fact the last stroke of the story is Let me tell you that the protagonist just escaped from the clutches of the monster, but he cannot escape from the human heart.

You can look for these three points in the film, which will give you the pleasure of discovery.

2. Excellent character design based on elemental design

The whole film is based on red and black. Red is a symbol of blood and black is a symbol of darkness. The two colors form the basis of the film. color blocks. The colors of these two are the visual focus. I don’t need to say much about this, just go ahead and put it in the picture. Regarding the design of the elements, the most classic one is the laser net, which made me think that the male protagonist at the beginning suddenly burped...

I must also mention here that the use of colors is related to the theme of the story. The strongest one is not the monster, but the Red Queen, the little girl, whose projection is also red. By the way, the little girl in "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" is the heroine Alice's daughter!

3. Photography and Director

The director is Paul Anderson. He is a very interesting director, because the "Resident Evil" series was created by him personally for his wife Mira. Although This person lacks artistic attainments, but is still very qualified as a commercial film director. Why qualify? Because the first "Resident Evil" was an adaptation made by himself, and he was the screenwriter.

Paul Anderson, who once directed the "Resident Evil" series, was deeply attracted by Milla Jovovich, a beautiful and sexy Eastern European model born in Ukraine. In order to express his love for Milla Jovovich Vicky's love made the movie "Resident Evil" specially created for her. The two fell in love with each other during the filming of the movie and got engaged in 2003. In early November 2007, Mira gave birth to a daughter for Paul Anderson. Mira and Paul named the baby Ever Gabo.

The photographer is Christian Almesberger, a member of the German Cinematographers Association. From a visual point of view, it is quite satisfactory and has no distinctive style, but it still tells the story clearly. For us, as long as we know that he is from the XX Photography Association, we know that he is a good photographer. There is also a Photographers Society in the United States. This is what we see in the film. The A.S.C written next to the photographer’s name means AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CINEMATOGRAPHERS. It is more complicated to analyze the specific pictures, but it can be seen from the color tone that the photographer understands the theme of the whole story.

Finally, I would like to add that I went to the cinema to watch the latest film "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter". The overall story is simple, the rhythm is smooth, and the plot is exciting and tense. However, the overall characters are superficial, which is already typical. commercial movies. In fact, the sixth film is already considered a B-level movie, full of blood, violence and excitement.
