Super 8 positive reviews
2022-01-25 08:05
"Super 8" is very attentive in the processing of the picture. Although there are no lack of smoky explosions and night scenes in the film, the texture and details are extremely delicate and submerged in the spreading darkness, whether it is the background music of the small town scenery Or the tone of the whole film, the director deliberately creates a lightly sad atmosphere, trying to bring the audience back to that era full of memories.
The film is an unmissable sci-fi thriller with a fascinating plot, a strong cast and a sweet young love story.
"Super 8" not only uses warm family, friendship and aliens as the narrative point in the plot, but also focuses on "retro" in the use of the lens. For example, when monsters appear, use the "old technique" of quiet field and lower the volume, rather than the background music used in similar movies to enhance the atmosphere.
