    [Exhibition at the Goethe-Institut] Masterpieces that transcend the times, and the forerunners of virtual world-themed sci-fi. The setting can be seen everywhere in "The Matrix" (telephone booth), "Inception" (doubt about space) and other sci-fi films that imitated and borrowed from them. The repeated use of mirrors, the composition of glass reflections and refraction portraits (I don’t know if it was influenced by Orson Welles), and the use of various lens languages, brilliantly express the...

    The eye-popping scene scheduling, the revolving long lens + almost twisted line zoom constantly leads the audience to immerse in the image and constantly separates the audience from the characters, the cold and bright mirror abyss repeatedly docks and mirrors each other, glass, windows, etc. Transparent elements lie across the picture as blurry as a virtual focus, like a phantom space that extends vastly in a false simulated reality but is helplessly controlled by the shackles, and ruthlessly...

    Excessive existential thinking and mirror symbols make the rhythm clumsy, but the presentation of the nested cybernetic worldview has become a new voice of the times, affecting batches of classic sci-fi...

    Whether this kind of persecution delusion/existential anxiety is unfounded or a cautionary tale is actually pre-discussed and pre-discussed depending on the trauma experience/life economic basis of the creator and the person who resonates or not, so no matter how optimistic I am , I also agree that this is done early and extreme within the pessimistic framework. In the process of "I think, therefore I am" (in the shadow: emptiness is empty, but the placeholder "empty" is not empty to indicate a...

    The representation of the representation of the will. I've seen Interdimensional Hackers before - a commercial version of it. However, Pinchu actually doesn't need too many fancy special effects to shoot sci-fi, and it is also very powerful to express the concept. Then again, if you just want to receive conceptual expressions and read the original text - the imagination obtained in the brain is estimated to be more unparalleled, and the text will be more delicate. I still have a deep impression...

    I thought old films were long and boring until I watched Witness for the Prosecution... This one too, yes, it's much earlier than Thirteenth Floor, Inception, The Matrix, etc., but It's really long and boring. I don't think the hero can't be judged by the age of the movie,...
