      I didn't expect that the novel that was thought to be a joke back then was turned into a movie--

      One day in 1945, a mysterious baby girl appeared in Clifford's orphanage, and no one knew who her parents were. She grew up alone, without anyone to associate with her. Things didn't get better until one day in 1963, when she inexplicably fell in love with a homeless man. But the good times didn't last long, and unfortunate events happened one after another. First, when she found out she was pregnant with the homeless child, the homeless suddenly disappeared. Secondly, when she gave birth in...

      I saw this story a long, long time ago

      I don't know if it's the original, but when I saw the name of the former destination, I knew the ending. Below is the story I saw.

      I don’t know if you remember, many years ago, there was a popular story: One day in 1945, a mysterious baby girl appeared in an orphanage, and no one knew who her parents were. Until one day in 1963, she fell in love with a homeless man. But the good times didn't last long. First of all, when she found out that she was pregnant with a homeless child, the homeless suddenly disappeared. Secondly, when she gave birth in the hospital, the doctor found out that she was an intersex person. In order...

      Why not translate as "Nirvana"

      No spoilers, a sci-fi movie that has nothing to do with science or love. A tragedy of individualism, similar to 12 monkeys, fatalism. A snake bit its tail.
      The protagonist is original sin, reshaping the story of the Bible. From beginning to end, the whole movie is a person reincarnating in endless hell, suffering, and a person starring in life, old age, sickness and death. What is the meaning? Think about life from a religious and philosophical perspective. Prometheus-like tragedy, but...

Heavy taste. . . →The child is taken away by the self who will travel back to the future → So he embarks on the road of the agent of the Time and Space Agency → The future self becomes insane and becomes a bomb maniac → Disfigured in a confrontation → Accept the task to stop the explosion again, but the premise is that you must create a new self After passing...

    • By Lee 2023-08-26 01:25:18

      I deliberately went to read Heinlein's original book after watching it. The biggest problem with the movie is that it is top-heavy. The script has been expanded on the basis of the short story, adding the plot of the bomber, but the overall story and structure are still the same as the novel. As a result, the lengthy setup leads to time-travel and paradoxes - the biggest burden is shaking too fast, the shocking moment lacks power, and the original shining point is only the chaotic time-space...

      Adapted from a concise and concise top-level time-travel novel, with Niu X’s idea in the front, the second creation of the movie will also add branches and leaves. With a completely open time-travel setting, the proposition of the chicken or the egg is turned into a fateful Mobius with only a rooster. ring. The lengthy foreshadowing in the first paragraph is for the last 30 minutes. The foreshadowing is indeed too much and too obvious. It may not be enough for fans of brain-burning movies, but...

      A small-scale brain-opening movie (not brain-burning). I am so insensitive to time travel and ring structure that I figure out the plot setting in half an hour, which greatly reduces the excitement of watching the movie. More unforgettable than the bizarre logic is the magical face of the heroine, Michael Jackson, Jodie Foster, Hugo Weaving, Li Pang, and Stone Sister. In any case, he will still pay for Ethan Hawke, a veteran literary god, with wrinkles and still sexy...

    Evaluation action

    As a film for the Golden Goblet Award, "Pre-Destination" is indeed very different. Ethan Hawke and Sara Snooker used acting skills to prop up the whole film. The latter is more handsome and affirmed for the control of the male image. Let a bunch of lace take off your pants. Moreover, despite the name of a science fiction film, the visual effects in the movie are basically equal to zero. Relying on the plot and editing, the rhythm of...
