    Character Evaluation

    In the movie "The Maze Runner" directed by Wes Ball, vines cover the concrete jungle, and there is a kind of decadence everywhere, and borrowing fresh special effects techniques, he successfully grafted that feeling into this feature film. He knows how to shoot thrilling chase scenes, and can dig out great acting potential from actors, especially Dylan O'Brien and Thomas Sangster . Moreover, he refreshed the clichés   . At the same time, the film's grasp of youth types and sci-fi elements is very precise, the whole film is exciting, and it avoids the stereotypes that the audience can think of.

      untitled

      1 At the beginning, I felt like the live version of the "Cube" series, the suburban version of the farm version, and I was looking forward to seeing how to break through the layers of the maze. As a result, there were too few scenes in the maze, and there were not many scenes in the bonfire,...

      Yes i'm a drama pie

      When I arrived at the movie theater, it was estimated that it had been on the air for a few minutes. I was eager to watch and fill up the previous plot. After ten minutes, I was surprised to find that there were no actresses in this film! Ouch, this dick! Isn't this movie really made by Huguo?
      With...

      This movie is running around running around...those metaphors and similes about utopias and dystopias are submerged in non-stop movement. Nowadays, most of these films have become youth romance films dressed in dystopia, and this has not even reached this point. There is no breakthrough in the monster's image. The purpose and content of the experiment are very strange.

      The whole process deliberately creates a labyrinth effect, gradually throws away the burden (a good throw is not a turtle), and the words are always only half a sentence, which makes people constantly wonder what the truth is. Just watching the movie is better than the Hunger Games, so you have to count on the original. It is a pity that the male protagonist is too bad and has severe facial paralysis. It is also great to keep his expression unchanged when he is beaten; the female protagonist soy sauce. Sangster’s younger brother Mei stayed for a complete scramble. The monster is too ugly and too low to deduct points.

    The Maze Runner quotes

    • Newt: Hell of a first day, Greenie. Here. Put some hair on your chest.

      [hands Thomas a glass of unfamiliar liquid]

      Thomas: Oh my God! What is that?

      Newt: I don't even know. It's Gally's recipe. It's a trade secret.

      Thomas: Yeah, well he's still an asshole.

      Newt: He saved your life today. Trust me, the maze is a dangerous place.

      Thomas: We're trapped here, aren't we?

      Newt: For the moment, but... you see those guys, there, by the fire? Those are the Runners. And that guy in the middle there, that's Minho. He's the Keeper of the Runners. Now, every morning, when those doors open, they run the maze, mapping it, memorizing it, trying to find a way out.

      Thomas: How long have they been looking?

      Newt: Three years.

      Thomas: And they haven't found anything?

      Newt: Its a lot easier said than done. Listen. Hear that? It's the maze, changing. It changes every night.

      Thomas: How is that even possible?

      Newt: You can ask the people who put us in here, if you ever meet the bastards. Listen the truth is... the Runners are the only ones who really know what's out there. They are the strongest and the fastest of us all. And it's a good thing, too... because if they don't make it back before those doors close... then they are stuck out there for the night, and no one has ever survived a night in the maze.

      Thomas: What happens to them?

      Newt: Well, we call 'em Grievers. Of course, no one's ever seen one and lived to tell about it, but they're out there.

    • Thomas: Chuck, don't let go!

      Chuck: No shit!
