Free man Is a movie set mainly in video games, called city of freedomThe game is similar to many games you have seen before, and players must participate in tasks ranging from bank robbery to face-slaps at non-player characters (NPCs) for no reason.
However, the story of this video game revolves around Guy (played by Ryan Reynolds), who suddenly realized that he might not want to be kicked in the face or kept being told by players what to do (called sunglasses in the movie) people. )
His adventure captured the hearts of many players, bringing people in the real world closer to the truth of the origin of the game, as well as the creators of the game Millie and Kees (Jodie Comer and Joe Keery).
The game shares many elements with some classic online collections. But is this true?
Yes Free man Based on real games?
Free man It is not a real game in itself, even in the movie, because it is called Free City.
However, one game mentioned by co-author Matt Lieberman is Grand Theft Auto As an inspiration for the game.
Having said that, the real game city of freedom Unlike many games, its construction has a more utopian feel.
He says Hollywood Report: “I think this movie is like,’What if you get the cheat code in your life?’
“If you like to walk around, you can suddenly see energy boosts wherever you go, they will give you magical abilities, money or wish fulfillment-and support it in this way.”
He said that his game, a game where you enjoy your life instead of trying to destroy the lives of others, comes from being like Grand Theft Auto.
The film’s director, Shawn Levy, agrees with his colleague Liebermann. He believes that the film’s wish fulfillment aspect has paid off in his own way, which is different from other superheroes. .
He hoped that this movie would be “less violent” and nihilistic than movie fans expected. He said: “I think I have always been a casual gamer, not a hardcore player, but I have always wanted to like games.
“You can choose the avatar you want to be, and you can do physical things that we can’t do in real life.”
Although this is part of the inspiration for the game that exists Free guy, According to the movie star, the movie itself is more than just a video game.
Reynolds told the BBC: “This is interesting to me.” Everyone said,’This is a movie based on video games.’ I really don’t think Free Guy is a video game movie.
“It’s like saying that Titanic is a movie about boating. It’s a movie about more. But I like the narrow targets we have to hit to create a world that feels real to gamers , And still sneak another story into it.”
