      who are we in the metropolis

      It's not necessarily a happy thing to have a bad taste rise to academic research. When one day a professor gives you a list of all kinds of hard-flavoured niche films and asks you to watch it, even if it suits your aesthetic taste or pretends B needs, I'm a bit forced. The reality is that there are still a lot of things in the list that are beyond your tolerance. Another thing that Jiang is still old and hot is that the professor is more serious than you and has a darker psychology than you....

      David Cronenberg, who finally made a cult film, also fell in love with pretending

      The first contact with David Cronenberg was recommended by his cousin. During dinner with the family, my cousin told us the plot of "The Flies" vividly at the dinner table. At that time, when I was young, I hurried home and watched it with Xunlei download. It was an eye-opener and refreshed my understanding. David Cronenberg's previous cult films are really good, and the content is visually appealing, although it can sometimes cause discomfort in the audience.

      But the world is...

      "Metropolis": When Rats Become Money Circulation

      Because time is now a common property, it belongs to the system of the free market. "Now" becomes harder to find. ——"Metropolis"

      The original book of the same name of "Metropolis" describes the story that happened in one day. The protagonist of the novel, Eric Parker, is a twenty-eight-year-old billionaire living in New York. It's his nature to keep grabbing new things in the world. One day in April 2000, he planned to drive through New York City to get a haircut. On the way, he kept...

      last century storm

      The taste of the last days exists in the luxury and erosion of luxury cars, and in the cross-flow of sewage in the poor streets;

      Exist in the present world with infinite fear of the future and paranoid interpretation of the past;

      The self-anaesthesia that exists at the lower end of the food chain and imagines the emptiness and loneliness of the upper layer;

      Finance, health, sex, technology... In the huge machine of capital operation, it turns out that we are just parts that...

      Never try to wake someone who is pretending to be asleep

      Like "Sacred Car Dealer" (people who have watched it will definitely think like me that there are too many similarities between these two films...), they are two amazing and absurd works in 2012, which run through the whole film. The massive metaphors and ironies of reality, the contempt and disdain for the future development of science and technology can not bring people the same sense of happiness... There are too many points worth pondering and thinking about in it, and it is a movie worth...

      A/ Cronenberg does not set up some kind of "primitive" picture for the characters to look back on. He only allowed them to distort quietly, "piercing" the "normality" with a mechanical, cold, even dislocated and broken poetic quality, so as to deeply depict the rigid density that is absolutely condensed in the present. This extremely tactile character construction method tries to touch the outside of the uncontrollable character, and the audience's eyes are drawn by this thread and fall into...

    Script adaptation

    At first glance, "Cosmopolis" does not seem to be suitable for adaptation into a movie, but the director David Cronenberg has put on the screen several novels that look equally difficult to shoot before, whether it is the weird-looking William S. Bai Lotz's " David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch " (NakedLunch) , James Ballard's " Crash " (Crash) , which is too graphic , or Patrick McGratz's " Spider " (Spider ) which is too much...

    Evaluation action

    Compared with director Cronenberg's old work " eXistenZ ", the film "Cosmopolis" is significantly more pure, sharper, and more destructive. ("IndieWIRE " review)
    The film is gorgeous and empty, full of a lot of boring dialogue, especially the very long dialogue scene near the end. The two actors seem to be acting in an artificial stage play   . ("Hollywood Reporter" review)
    "Cosmopolis" takes place in a capitalized, digitized, and...

    Movie quotes

    • Benno Levin: You try to predict movements by drawing on patterns in nature. Yes, of course, the mathematical properties of tree rings, sunflower seeds, the limbs of galactic spirals. I learned this. I loved the cross harmonies between nature and data. You taught me this. You made this form of analysis horribly and sadistically precise. But you forgot something along the way.

      Eric Packer: What?

      Benno Levin: The importance of the lopsided. The thing that's skewed a little. You were looking for balance - beautiful balance, equals parts, equal sides, I know this. I know you.

    • Benno Levin: You are foully and berserkly rich.

    • Benno Levin: You want me to be a helpless robot soldier, and all I could be was helpless.
