      Searching: Pseudo-Recorded Desktop Movies

       As a result, although the pre-production part of the actors only took 14 days, the post-production took up to 3 years. But compared to the third viewing angle, which is more commonly used in other films, this novel way will give audiences a sense of prying into other people's secrets. The whole story begins with a familiar Windows computer desktop. A series of videos played on the computer showed us a happy family of three, husband David, wife Papa, and their lovely daughter...

      This rhythm is great.

      This is definitely a movie that can give people unexpected joy. The story of the movie is actually very cliché, that is, the process of the missing daughter and the father doing everything possible to find her daughter, similar to Liam Neeson's "Hurricane Rescue" series , The difference is the way the story is told in this film, which makes people exclaimed.

      The rise of the Internet age will inevitably bring about changes in social networking, sharing, and searching. In this film, we...

      The audiovisual language was completely abandoned, and the story was conveyed by using computer screen video live broadcast monitoring news screen handheld video and other forms The form of expression; secondly, the story and themes have been minimally processed. The turning points and breakthroughs depend on a lot of coincidences and accidents, and the ending is not complicated, but some key logic bugs are obviously the screenwriter's hard work. The upside is that, among the many films that...

      (9/10) The way the film is shot is very interesting. The whole film does not have a real scene, but connects the plot through one electronic screen (web page, news, chat software, online video). The case itself is very ordinary and uncomplicated, and there is not much bizarreness, but this creative expression makes the story not boring. Of course, I personally think that the emotional line between father and daughter is a more important theme than the case...

All data settings, including the Facebook page and twitter timeline, must fit the character’s own life timeline, and even the speed of each dialogue editing in the screen must be relaxed. In order to convince...
