      Unprecedented people are classics

      I rarely recommend a movie, but I recommend this one because it's a classic. If you don't read it, you don't know there is such a way of shooting disaster movies.

      Simply put, the film is to record the process of a person or a small group of people holding a DV to record an emergency. A large part of the film is a replay of the DV. You seem to have experienced this nightmarish night like these people, everything seems to happen right in front of you, so close, so horrified, so...

      Shaking images give me more headaches than monsters

      It was a shaky picture at the beginning, and then until the end.

      Suddenly reminded me of a famous horror movie, Blair the Witch. Of course I think the way of shooting with DV makes us feel more intimate when we haven't seen it for a long time.
      Originally this is a pleasing movie that is not good for men and women, but when the monster arrives and breaks the originally happy party, a person becomes unkempt, and is still moving forward step by step in the so-called aphrodisiac of...

      See what Cloverfield has learned

      1. If the DV tape is not clean, it will reveal personal privacy.
      2. In most cases, there will be adverse reactions after being bitten by unknown creatures, so we must prepare for the worst, write a suicide note as soon as possible, and distribute the inheritance.
      3. Shooting is not a good job, it means you have to go to the most dangerous place.
      4. Girlfriend vitality is tenacious.
      5. The head of the Statue of Liberty is not a good sign.
      6. There is always something...

      Feel the fear on the spot

      Honestly, this movie is the first first-person narration I've ever seen. The method is very new. It's just not as good-looking as you guys say. I don't know if it's because of the movie that I watched the reviews of the beans first. Anyway, after watching the whole movie, I felt nothing, just ordinary.
      This way of narrating events feels very real. After reading it, I have a feeling of "is it a real event?", a feeling of confusion between reality and illusion. I think this is the purpose of...

      That's called being there

      The Cloverfield File is the most immersive sci-fi movie I've ever seen, bar none. Especially when the first half of the stone flew over and the head of the Statue of Liberty smashed over, the realistic feeling was really indescribable. The last time I experienced this feeling was when the Eiffel Tower in Paris collapsed in Call of Duty 8.

      In short, a great movie, very coherent, able to capture the curiosity of the audience and feast the eyes of the special effects. The end is the...

      To be honest, this shooting technique is awesome. Also, use some flashing pictures to explain the background of things, although the main line seems to be love. But also good looking. ..that monster is really not...

      Although the method of shooting disaster films with a DV in hand creates the style of a documentary...how can it still feel a little fake? PS Since watching "Irrevocable", no matter how you shake the camera, you won't feel...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The first trailer of the film was played before "Transformers". The general content is to show a huge explosion in the center of New York City. The head of the Statue of Liberty was blown up and landed on the street. These were all filmed by that kind of camcorder, and there is no title.
    The first official cinema version trailer was released on November 15, 2007, before "Beowulf".
    When filming in Los Angeles, the film used the pseudonym...

    Evaluation action

    "The Clover File" is very similar to "Blair the Witch", the difference between the two is that the former really represents a monster. Unlike other monster movies, this movie seems to come from a DV in the hands of one person, giving the audience an immersive feeling. It is considered by critics to be another monster movie after the Korean movie "Han River Monster". An old movie genre infused with new blood. The investment in "Clover...

    Movie quotes

    • Hud: Ocean is big, dude. All I'm saying is a couple of years ago, they found a fish in Madagascar that they thought been extinct for centuries.

      Rob Hawkins: So what? It's been down there this whole time, and nobody noticed?

      Hud: Sure. Maybe it erupted from an ocean trench, you know? Or a crevasse. Crevice. It's just a theory. I mean, for all we know, it's from another planet and it flew here.

      Marlena Diamond: Like Superman?

      Hud: Yeah, exactly like... Wait. You know who Superman is?

      Marlena Diamond: Oh, my God. You know who Superman is?

      Hud: Okay, I'm not...

      Marlena Diamond: [sarcastically] I'm, like, feeling something. Are you aware of Garfield.

    • Hud: Okay, just to be clear here, our options are: die here, die in the tunnels, or die in the streets. That pretty much it?

      Rob Hawkins: Yeah... that's pretty much it.

    • Marlena Diamond: It's eating people.
