Compared with director Cronenberg's old work " eXistenZ ", the film "Cosmopolis" is significantly more pure, sharper, and more destructive." review)
The film is gorgeous and empty, full of a lot of boring dialogue, especially the very long dialogue scene near the end. The two actors seem to be acting in an artificial stage play
.
"Cosmopolis" takes place in a capitalized, digitized, and virtualized world. The film combines the unique worldviews of the director and original author Don DeLillo . The two have their opinions on how language, technology, images, and knowledge systems shape the world, and The perception of reality has a predictive and sketchy cognition
.
The film takes the protagonist millionaire into a wild and psychedelic night. Flesh, violence, rotten meat, blood plasma, sex, hallucinations, and even the human-shaped mouse lying on the roof of the car, tranceful but damn serious, indicates that David Cronenberg has completely returned to his psychedelic style of the 1980s. Of course there is also a bit of black humor, such as Robert Pattinson just wanted to cut his hair but encountered so many troubles. Pattinson, who became famous because of the "Twilight" series, was suspected of being a white face, and was trained in a cold style in the film
.
This two-and-a-half-hour movie, with a slow pace and a lot of dialogue, can maintain the audience's interest from beginning to end. In addition to being particularly thought-provoking in content, it undoubtedly benefits from the director's skill. The music, scenes, character modeling and dialogue at the beginning of the film brought the audience into the bizarre and disturbing atmosphere that the director is good at managing. Even the original author who knows the language of the film very well admits that the director, while loyal to the spirit of the original, created another excellent work with film art
