I have never played Minecraft in my life – but I am not a Christian, and I am always happy in the world of cinematic in the jared hess, director of “Minecraft”. Foliously “Napoleon Dynamite“From 2004, which implicitly raises the spiritual medium, by the lack of a secular pop culture and hypocrisy in adolescence. Follow it.”Nacho Lieber“Jack Black Black Championship enters the wrestling ring to save a monastery, and in 2009, with.”Gentlemen Bronko“A heavenly vision of the gospel of the teenager.Don VerdianFrom 2015, he was explicitly appointed to church societies and includes smuggling residues in Israel; Comedy for him 2016, “The mastermind“A theft movie focused on the grace and the sacred innocence.
With the movie “Minecraft”, I was patience to find out what Hess will do with another world of extremist imagination, similar to the movie “Gentlemen Broncos”. The abbreviated answer is, too much and not enough; IP is the president, the characters are the dependencies, the HESS – which was restricted through the text program that was not written and the complex CGI requirements – rises to its own level, which is among the most (or large) news in modern cinema. “Minecraft”, which moves between realistic settings and the artificial worlds of video games, is not anywhere near the peculiarities, as it was designed creatively, or very personally like its other features. no “Barbie“The procedure is tightly promotional and traditional. However, he has enough personality to make me hope that Hess had a more free hand.
Here is what I have collected about the source material: In the game, the players compensate and use raw materials, in a world that has no boundless possibilities called Overworld, to formulate more or the least they want. But the world faces many types of threats, including creatures called Piglins from the world of nihilistic crime, so the players must fight to defend what they create. (Minecraft also simulates LO-FI’s graphics for previous generations of games, leaving their straight and step-by-fighter entities-so that an object called Orb is photographed as a cube.)
In the movie, Jack Black plays the role of boredom handles called Steve, a character that relies on the original virtual Avatar; The procedure begins when Steve leaves his function, and follows a lifelong dream, heads to the local mine. There, MacGufins discovers the film, the heavenly crime, and The Earth Crystal – and it is immediately detonated from this world to the excessive world. But his cheerful, cheerful creativity is frustrated by Piglin, Malgosha (expressed by Rachel House), who is looking for the being to control the excessive world; To protect him, Steve Eslis Dennis, the wolf he faced and tame, to move them to the house and hide them under his bed. Years later, Garrett (garbage man) is a garrison (Jason Momoa), the mysterious owner of a video games store in the small state of Idahu, buys Steve’s long things at the auction-and instead of getting the Atari Atari Atari, he appears with Orb and crystals.
Then two siblings, Natalie (Emma Maires) and Henry (Sebastian Hansen), move to Zagghals, to achieve his mother’s wish. Henry, a science miracle, is trying to study infiltrators in his new high school by creating a jet package – which, through any error of his own, caused a serious accident. It is hidden in the Garrett store, and with the celestial offense and crystal, it accidentally explodes and Garrett in the excessive world. Natalie and a real estate agent named DAWN (Danielle Brooks), in search of the lost Henry, are looking for the missing world, and the four team with Steve in a painful public adventure to fight monsters, find another crystal, save the excessive world (and Dennis), and return home.
Do not make my curiosity to enthusiasm. I can’t recommend anyone to see “Minecraft”, not even a child. (I am trying, in vain, to imagine the type of childhood that I did not have, and which may have found such an amusing film.) The movie is full of eggs with Easter eggs and Minecraft; In a viral moment, viewers shout “chicken knight!” (As they did in the local Multiplex on Sunday), in one case, he was said to do so with such passers -by The police were called to the scene. But what caught my attention, no matter how intermittently, was another group of references cultivated all over the movie – to Jared Hess’s cinematic world. If the communications are not widely recognized, then this is only because the Hess group that was ignored by most critics is unnecessarily, not to mention viewers.
The IDaho preparation is personally-raised, and leads to a reference to “Napoleon Dynamite”, in which “Minecraft movie” shares a set of details, including Lama, a military arts school, and above all, Tator Tots. (Like Napoleon, Henry hides them in his pocket-and then, in the world of imagination of Minecraft, using them as a release of a weapon that he creates, “Tut”. Jack Black in “Nacho Lieber” for his late parents; Benjamin’s writing is based on his late father – and “Minecraft movie” in the movement, no matter how vague, due to the death of the two young men.
But Hess’s creation is the most distinctive in the movie “Minecraft Movie” is the Garrett character (or, as Steve, GAR-Gar), which is a compound of characters that appear throughout the Hess’s œuvre. Like Napoleon Rico’s uncle, who has lived in football days for a long time, Garrett has been living in a faded Hala of last glory: in his case, the video game championship in 1989. He remembers his wrong endeavor to get the remains of “Don Verdian”; His long hair, beard, high -style, but low -style fashion, and some of him, puts in the mind the repetition of many of the hero of the Christian warrior from the story of Benjamin “Lorder”, from “Gentlemen Broncos”.
Garrett has nails with black nail polish, rainbow lines on its twisted shades, fluoride pink clothes, and the extreme nose of perfumes. The encrypted and lending hints of his words and actions are due to the era of Howard Hawks, as is the case when he calls himself a “better sister” of Natalie, and when Steve (through Overworld wings) flies through a narrow hole while they suffer from a confrontation with each other in the face of installation. Garrett’s special endeavor does not focus especially on Minecraft; He needs money to save his failed store, and for unlimited reasons – it is a single one without friends. But it is the wild card, and a character with deep roots, a story, and a world of possibilities that reach beyond narrow narration, and invite his own movie.
Hess, in his previous films, showed a great sense of livelihood, to the scenes that hold for a long time enough and are sufficiently framed to transfer the feeling of wonderful monitoring. There is no way for any aesthetic like this in “Minecraft”. No references, hints, echoes, and retreat that are stuffed with, not even the details of the interesting personality, but the uncomfortable for a satisfactory viewing experience; Instead, they convert the film into an encrypted message to allow those who care about his artistic luxury knowing that he is fine in the absence of such clouds and gestures, the film will play like a high -end -budget video clip. With an apology to make a much serious intention, the “Minecraft movie” could be the title “I am still here”. ♦
