魔力麦克2

(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……
这就是讲述一群脱衣舞男的肉片。
没内涵，没意义，内容简单，也没啥了不起的故事，但是……它比一切假模假样小清新都治愈，都积极向上，都引人发奋图强。

看着这一群身材绝佳，肌肉性感，脸蛋英俊的帅哥在舞台上搔首弄姿，俯首帖耳、绞尽脑汁讨女客开心，真觉得爽歪歪。
看得爽就够了，谁想在肉片中学什么人生大道理？
这样纯粹的电影才是回馈女人的电影，这样的电影才是女权抬头的产物，这样的电影才是正能量。
要肌肉，要性感，要撩骚，要色相，要越雷池但越不过的心痒……通通都可以，前提是，你要有钱୧(๑•̀⌄•́๑)૭！

姐儿妹子小基佬们，从现在起努力工作吧，好好挣钱，到时候糊你的“麦克”一脸钞票。咱也过一把帝王瘾，O(∩_∩)O哈哈~。

BTW：威尔斯密斯的老婆演的黑人女主持，真是太有舞台魅力了！

这部电影应算作R级别吧，看到最后表演一幕，绝对是最火爆的，我就像是从封建时代走出来的女人看着现代的三级片，虽然不到瞠目结舌但脸红耳赤是多少还有点。我不太理解的是，为什么美国女人会愿意让陌生男人抚摸自己，把自己搬来搬去，还高兴的给他钱，竟然还大把撒钱，好像钱不是自己挣得，就是为了让受到感情伤的自己片刻满足还有男人喜欢自己?但还是因为给他钱去做这些，我真不知道这是件高兴的事儿还是令人沮丧的事。说远了，距离美国人民的生活太远，了解不到美国生活里真的会发生电影里的情节。
没有主要故事情节，只有为了走下去，没有任何意义的对话。开头的20分钟，罗利啰嗦，就像小学生为了完成作文而废话连篇，“要是再不跳舞，我就不看了。”我心里想。anyway，看舞男的诱惑大胆的舞姿，也算是开开眼。当软片看看，我们国家没有的东西。

其实《巨揪舞壮士》（Magic Mike XXL)才是一部适合创业者的励志片。它讲述了一群曾经辉煌的“连续创业者”集结上路，困惑于“商业模式”，几经周折，抱对大腿，不忘初心，最后咸鱼翻身的故事。
 它告诉我们 ：
1，不管干什么都得混对圈子；
2，当你什么资源都没有的时候，只能卖肉；
3，打铁还需自身硬，没有颜就去练肉，没有肉只能死p；
4，色诱不行就只能贩卖情怀。

对应最近的互联网创业，真是丝丝入扣，指给屌丝逆袭一条金光大道。

（以下可能含剧透）

1. 舞出我人生

为了准备“舞蹈”，男主钱老板Channing Tatum雇了很多“舞蹈者”为他自己表演。不过《魔力麦克》系列本身就是基于钱老板19岁时做舞男的一段亲身经历。钱老板不仅有相关从业经历，当过瑞奇·马丁的伴舞，而且之前就拍过舞蹈相关的电影《舞出我人生》，而且娶了《舞出我人生》的女主dancer Jenna Dewan-Tatum。Jenna现在15年美剧《Supergirl》中饰演女超人的情敌、超人的小姨子Lucy Lane。他们在2013年生了一个女孩，钱老板并没有打算向小女儿隐瞒本片的存在。

  


2. Industry Insights

另外，热爱舞蹈的钱老板认为男性Stripping行业一直不思进取、裹足不前，就像片中所说的“还是消防员那一套老把戏”。他希望通过电影能让从业人员锐意进取、有所反思。

  


3. 索德伯格

《魔力麦克》第一部导演索德伯格（Steven Soderbergh）在本部中没有执导，只是负责摄影。这也是他第一次为非自己执导的电影摄影。不过本部导演Gregory Jacobs曾是索德伯格的副导。

第一部其实是索德伯格和钱老板自拉赞助，投资约700万美元，却收获了1.67亿美元全球票房，在舞蹈主题的影片中首映成绩名列第一。钱老板表示希望能将Magic Mike系列做成Stripping界的《奥德赛》……

  


4. XXL

片名XXL并非制作人想出来的，而是网上流传的。钱老板他们一看很棒，有视觉效果，就决定使用它。

  


5. 狼人与吸血鬼

剧中狼叔（Joe Manganiello）扮演的Big Dick Richie在片中跳了暮光之城版的舞蹈。他其实本身就在HBO美剧《真爱如血》里扮演狼人。

  


6. 孔雀

Ken的扮演者孔雀（Matt Bomer）认为本片是《特殊任务》（The Last Detail）和《沙漠妖姬》（The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert）这两部公路喜剧的混合。

  


7. 准备

为了保持身材，男演员们不得不节食，每天吃水煮鸡胸。节食期间，他们互相鼓劲加油：再坚持一周！再一周！就可以猛吃碳水化合物啦！

他们还互相比赛健身成果，狼叔是公认最健壮的，据说修海报时有意弱化了他的肌肉，否则太夸张。

  


8. 观众

片中的约300名女性观众是通过Facebook招募来的乔治亚州当地人。男演员是亲自跳舞，没有替身。

  


9. 没有回归的人

第一部里的马修叔获得奥斯卡最佳男主后，由于片酬原因没有回归第二部。
小孩Alex Pettyfer也没有回归，据传是因为演上一部时他和钱老板合不来......
但钱老板表示，第一部里对人物刻画得比较肤浅，而且第一部是他和其他人第一次合作，没有机会好好讲兄弟情谊，为了弥补这种遗憾，第二部更注重这个方面。

  


10. 闪瞎

本片之前代号为“闪瞎你眼的男人们”（Glitter Man）。

  


11. 黑客帝国

哥谭鱼姐、Will Smith老婆Jada Smith在片中饰演重要角色Rome。这个角色其实本来设定为男性，而且定好要请Jamie Foxx来演出。在Rome的舞蹈团里，有一个人穿着很像《黑客帝国》男主Neo。这可能是致敬鱼姐曾在黑客帝国2、3中的出演。

  


12. 星战

剧中有台词“Come to the darkside”“Use the force”都是星战梗，而且男团在大会上亮相时伴着一段星战主题曲Duel of the Fates。剧中有一些男性道具，剧组把它们当作星战著名武器“光剑”，互相打斗......

回顾观影当场一句话感想：一块绝好的生鲜刺身被开水煮着吃了。＝食材的浪费～



"Alright, alright, alright", something you would not hear much in this LONG and WIDELY (XXL, wink wink) expected spinoff since Dallas (the character played by McConaughey) is quickly ditched in the begging of the movie (oops) , I have finally watched this XXL tonight. Yeah! (hard for just two seconds), and "it was all right", which was my very instant feedback right after coming out of the cinema.

Don't get me wrong, it is funny, occasionally, and I laughed, occasionally and perhaps some would say, "It's a striper movie, what do you expect?" Well, first of all, it's "Male Entertainer" to address the characters professionally, accurately and consistently with the movie. Secondly, as a matter of fact, it is very ironic that this movie turns out to be rather different from what is usually expected from it, sadly in a bad way - it would be FANTASTIC if it follows the typical pattern and pace of unveiling a drama/comedy (the genre of this movie), the cinematography included. - The furniture dream did not work out for Mike in real life that he decided to reunite with the old crew (not exactly) for their perhaps-last ride to the stripping endeavour, yet shit happens along the way, but they finally made it.

Yes, the story line is as simple as that, which i'm afraid is exactly what freaks out the screenwriter. "It can't be simple like that",he/she may think. Therefore, excessive nonsense of events and dialogues are added here and there (on the road, in the van, in the living room, you name it), which makes it less Channing (lean) but more Gabriel (fluffy), if you know what i mean. In this case, the genre of this movie is distorted unfortunately, from a should-be drama/comedy to a semi-documentary/road-film.

Yes, documentary indeed, as clearly found not only in the way of story telling, yet also and especially in cinematography (use a bloody cane if you could, cut between more camera angles, drum up the magic, would you?). Somehow actually, I'm not surprised, and it can make sense if you consider that a legacy from its predecessor, directed by Steven Soderbergh who is of course the Executive Producer of the fellow spinoff. HOWEVER (a big one), IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. As I couldn't help but share with my fellow viewer on the spot, "the movie feels like a fresh piece of great sashimi got boiled in water rather than served raw as righteously destined." In my two cents, a brilliant idea is shamefully not delivered to its full potential. Give it to Michael Bay, for cry out loud.

Educated by the screenplay books I've been reading, I'm lucky to come to realise it is essential to RESPECT the pattern and pace of each genre, if you are not genius enough like Quentin Tarantino to create your own, as they do make sense and work well. In this sense, I'd rather see the Magic Mike volume cheesily successful, than innovatively mediocure.

Well, to make ya all less disappointed, as said in my title of this review, the XXL was luckily saved by the last act/dance, not too bad.
