Today,the small editor introduced to you a classic B-grade film: "Kill a Dawn";
There may be a small partner to ask, what is a b-grade film?
b-movie refers to a low-budget film and does not belong to the commonly referred to as film rating. B-grade films are divided from the production input, while the so-called film rating is usually distinguished from the content scale and the age of the audience. B-grade films have a short shooting time and a low production budget, so the general set is simple, the props are rough, and the films often lack texture and do not have good quality. On the other hand, due to the limitations of production budgets, usually B-grade films do not have big stars participating in the performance, but they deliberately choose the genres that the public likes, often selecting plot themes related to cowboys, lust, gangsters, horror, gods, and science fiction, and occasionally copying the current popular plot mode.
Low budget, high plasma, and bad taste are the distinctive labels of B-grade films;
Of course, it can't be one-size-fits-all, not all b-grade films are shoddily made, and b-grade films have also produced many classic works;
"Kill Bill", "Terminator", "Texas Chainsaw Killer", "Eyes Across the Mountain", "Blood Spatter 13 Police Station" and so on are all classic B-grade films.
Without further ado, let's take a look at today's topic:
"Out of the Dawn" is a 1996 film work;
This film is a mixture of action, crime, horror, comedy and many other elements, and the plot is very grotesque.
The film tells the story of the two brothers, Seth and Richard, who hijacked the priest's family in order to escape to Mexico and use them as a cover. Eventually, he escaped to Mexico through the checkpoints;
After arriving in Mexico, the brothers contacted Carlos, a local bandit, to make a point for them and made an appointment to meet at a bar. However, they waited until the bar until night to see Carlos, but what they waited for was a large number of vampires, and in order to save their lives, the two brothers and the priest's family had to fight with the vampires.
Why the plot of the film is weird can also be seen from the plot summary.
The first half of the film is a standard road escape film;
At the beginning, the two brothers shot the patrolman in the shop and burned the shop;
After the younger brother killed the only hostage, the two brothers had to take the priest's family hostage again;
Finally arrived in Mexico under the cover of the priest's family.
It is reasonable to say that this film is still very normal, who knows that after arriving at the bar, the style of the film suddenly changed;
The wound on his brother Richard's hand caused all the staff of the bar to turn into vampires, and the bar was suddenly in a mess;
After a night of fighting, only the priest's daughter and Seth survived until sunrise.
Turning from a road movie to a vampire movie, this kind of gameplay makes people feel incredible;
But when you see the director and the screenwriter, you may know the answer.
The film's director, Robert Rodriguez, is a figure who is very good at "spending small money and doing big things";
The first film, Killer Lament, cost just $7,000, and the film won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the Sundance Film Festival, becoming the lowest-cost film to be released by major studios and the first American film to be released in Spain;
He also wrote a book about his experience in shooting "Killer Lamentations" (rebel without a crew) to tell beginners how to make a movie without money and without anyone;
His favorite is his "Sin City", which was released in 2005 and grossed $158 million worldwide.
The screenwriter of "Kill a Dawn" believes that everyone is already familiar with it, he is the famous Quentin Tarantino;
If the word "ghost talent" is placed on today's Hollywood directors, Quentin is definitely the best candidate;
Movies such as the "Kill Bill" series, "Shameless Bastard", "Django Rescued", and "Pulp Fiction" are all classics.
In "Out of the Blue", Quentin dedicated his few screen performances, playing his younger brother Richard;
This role in the film is definitely a nervous pervert, wanton killing, has solved the patrol, shop owner, fat hostage, but also staged a "heavy taste" drama in the bar (the partner who knows can leave a message below the comment area, the editor will not write), fortunately he finally hung up, it is really happy.
If you break down the movie "Kill a Dawn" into two before and after, it can be described as mediocre;
But when the two merge together, a wonderful chemical element is produced that makes this movie.
When watching this movie, don't think about what earth-shattering truth you can learn from it, the movie itself is unreasonable, you can just watch it;
In addition, it is a reminder that this movie is not suitable for the faint of heart, and some pictures are more irritating to the stomach, do not like it, do not force oh.
