In the High School of Homurahara Academy, Cu Chulainn explained to the Chaldean group the reason why Fuyuki City became deserted.
At the same time, it also informed the existence of the final boss of this battle - Black Saber.
I have to say that Saber in a short skirt gives a completely different feeling than before.
Even viewers who have watched the HF web drama were impressed by Black Saber's cool short skirt.
You should know that whether in the movie version or the web drama version of FSN, Lily's appearance as Artoria is relatively conservative.
Not to mention the full body armor she wears during battle, even her casual clothes are the kind of skirts that cover her knees.
If we have to say what the special feature of Saber's blue and white casual clothes is, it would only be the black stockings.
The Black Saber in the HF line is basically a repaint of the normal Knight King armor.
If the HF version of Black Saber were to be released as a toy, apart from the color being different from the normal version, at most there would be an additional black eye mask accessory.
This is definitely a configuration that players will criticize as a money-making scam.
In FZ, there is a light armor posture of Artoria, but there is really nothing to brag about Lily's flat figure.
So far, Nanaya has not planned to start the Fate line, so the image of Artoria wearing a bath towel will always remain only in the comics.
In fact, not all of the clothes that Artoria has worn so far have almost no sex appeal.
In the early part of the UBW movie, when Saber was caught by Medea, the white short skirt was quite seductive.
Nanaya, that beast, even made a similar set of clothes for Ryan.
It's just that Lily appeared for too little time in that state, and all the relevant shots only showed her in one pose.
Although the Knight King tortured by Medea is also great in the hearts of many movie fans, it always feels like it lacks a bit of majesty.
But this time the black Saber short skirt is different. Not only does it retain the queenly aura of the character of Artoria, it also allows Lily to show off her proud beautiful legs on the screen for the first time.
Although Nanaya has always belittled Lily's flat figure.
But if you ignore her height and measurements, Lily still has a good figure, with the slim and slender girlish style.
Perhaps in terms of leg shape alone, Lily is still a little worse than Rin.
But looking around the world, it is really hard to find a few pairs of legs better than Lily's.
However, the above is only Nanaya's cloud evaluation based on what he saw with his own eyes, as for how the specific legs feel.
I haven't touched it, so I don't know.
After the intermission, the next plot is that Chaldea and the big dog team up to attack the big hole where Black Saber is.
Before setting off, Cu Chulainn and the Chaldeans made a very detailed plan.
Make sure they can bypass Berserker Hercules.
But just like most plans in movies, they are always disrupted by various unexpected events.
This time is no exception.
Cu Chulainn led the Chaldeans to the Great Cave, and as soon as they reached the back mountain, they came face to face with Hercules who was lured out by Archer.
The original Hercules had already lost his mind, and now he has been blackened by the Holy Grail.
Hercules can now be said to be a humanoid destruction machine. Anything that moves within his sight will be crushed to pieces.
"Wow, what a fierce giant!"
In the midst of a black fog, Hercules officially appeared.
In order to show his strength and invincibility, Nanaya gave him a lot of close-up shots.
The huge body and the messy hair floating behind him, which were carefully added with special effects in post-production, almost instantly attracted the attention of all the audience.
He is so huge, so violent, so indestructible...
There shouldn't be such a monster in the world. He really should only be a monster from the mythological era!
"This image is far inferior to FSN, not to mention HF."
Seeing Hercules, many veteran Moon fans took a deep breath.
In their impression, Hercules has always been a powerful being, and there is nothing to say about that.
However, in everyone's general impression, apart from blacken Sakura who only exists in the setting, the strongest Hercules should be the one contaminated by black mud in the HF line.
Although Hercules only appeared in a short scene and later became a stepping stone for the protagonist Shirou Emiya to show off, his appearance was indeed both arrogant and terrifying.
However, the previous image was somewhat inferior compared to the monster in front of him.
Violent, brutal and ferocious.
This is the impression the black giant left on the audience.
Younger viewers even felt their nerves tense, even though they knew it was just a movie.
But with the IMAX screen's extra-large screen, everyone was terrified.
The image of Hercules was specially selected by Nanaya.
The prototype of this image comes from the second chapter of the original FGO1.5, and then more exaggerated CG special effects were added to form the final result.
It can be said that this is the most dramatic and exaggerated shape of the B-stage Hercules.
The next scene let the audience know that such a domineering Hercules is not just a facade.
One knife.
Hercules just made such a casual move with his sword, and the entire ground collapsed.
Think about the previous description of Hercules in FSN, and then look at the incredible scene in the picture.
Many old Fate viewers opened their mouths in surprise.
"How can we defeat a monster like this?"
"I don't know how many lives this version of Hercules has. If all 12 are full, there is no way he can win."
"Yes, even if Cu Chulainn managed to kill Hercules once, what can he do after that?"
It wasn't just the audience who realized that Hercules was invincible; the Chaldeans were also well aware of his opponent's strength.
Since you can't win, just avoid it according to the original plan.
Hercules is powerful, but he is also very easy to deal with when he loses his mind.
So an exciting chase began.
The Chaldean group and Hercules staged a fast and furious drama using the downtown area of Fuyuki City as a racetrack.
In the audience's impression, there is only one chase scene related to Fuyuki City, and that is the chase scene between Saber and the Emperor in FZ.
That scene was more about a confrontation between speed and agility, and the shot of Artoria riding a motorcycle through the streets became one of the classic shots in the FZ movie.
But the chase scene this time lacks that sense of agility, and is instead a pure rush of speed.
Hercules was like a bulldozer, razing everything he passed to the ground.
In order to get rid of the monster, Mashu and Cu Chulainn used almost all their strength.
Especially Mashu, because she also has to take care of the relationship between Ritsuka and the director.
Several times he had to use his shield to block Hercules' attacks.
Fortunately, Mashu's [Shield Soldier] class gave her enough defense. An ordinary servant would have been defeated long ago after being tormented by Hercules.
On the other hand, Hercules' destructive power also serves as a great release of the catharsis that the audience needs when watching the movie.
Why is the character of Hulk so popular, but his solo movies rarely stand out?
What the audience wants to see is the scene of Hulk smashing things. That kind of scene of wanton destruction can satisfy the audience's most primitive desire for destruction.
This is also the most direct reason for the audience to buy tickets to enter the venue.
But directors who shoot single-person films always like to focus on Banner's personal pain.
Such mismatched products will naturally be despised by the audience.
In the same way, Hercules now brings the same visual sensation to the audience.
FGO is a commercial film, so Nanaya naturally wants to maximize the commercial content.
The theme of the movie in the prologue is very simple in nature, which is to reach the Great Hollow to defeat Black Saber and repair the singularity.
Subsequent films also follow this main plot, correcting history in a mutated time and space and eliminating discordant things one by one.
In the process of achieving this goal, the characters in the singularity caused various incidents, allowing the protagonists to encounter stories that belong to them.
The prologue serves as a sample template, and the narrative structure is not complicated.
The camp confrontation in the movie is the simplest black and white battle mode, and it is completely centered on the protagonist team.
There are only a few shots and descriptions of Black Saber.
It can be said that the movie Prologue is the simplest movie in structure that Nanaya has ever shot.
So in order to make up for the simplicity of the narrative, Nanaya added a lot of things according to his own understanding.
With Nanaya's current fame, it will not be a problem for him to get good box office revenue by shooting a big commercial production.
But it is not easy to achieve box office success, gain good reputation, or even make the movie a recognized classic.
Adding a large number of special effects is only the most superficial phenomenon. On a deeper level, Nanaya is constantly stimulating the audience's desires and making them feel a sense of satisfaction.
This is the biggest difference between Nanaya and other ordinary directors.
When other directors encounter a movie with such a simple structure, they need to add their own content to expand it.
The method they most often use is to add some human drama, such as the rift between mother and son, the discord between husband and wife, I am your father... and so on.
Perhaps these directors think that this will increase the audience's sense of involvement and make the movie more fulfilling.
This is indeed one way, but there are really not many commercial directors who can do it well.
The most failed example is Michael Bay. The protagonists in every one of his movies have some family or emotional problems.
This has become standard for Michael Bay-style protagonists.
But Explosive Bay has never been able to film this part well. Basically, he is either criticized for the stupid filming or criticized for being stupid himself.
Nanaya doesn't like to do this. He prefers to add content that the audience likes to meet their viewing needs.
The essence of commercial films is to please the audience, so there is no need to pretend to be noble. Just give the audience what they want to see.
