    Character Evaluation

    Denis Villeneuve can control mainstream Hollywood movies   . He has overcome difficulties along the way and is undoubtedly a role model among Mesozoic directors   . In the film "Arrival", director Denis Villeneuve has a decent grasp of the scale between science fiction and absurdity   , and conquered the audience with the slow narrative rhythm of science fiction, philosophical thinking and feminism   . ", "Movie World", "Movie Literature" review)
    From "Incendies" to "Prisoners" to "Enemy", which tells about split personality, Denis Villeneuve seems to have a sensitive control over crime subjects. Under tightening, not only does it not show procrastination, but also brings a sense of suffocation like thin air   . In addition, each of his films can not only bring people a visual shock, but also bring serious thinking   .
