      Spielberg revisited in anticipation of Super 8

      It's only autumn, and plans for Hollywood blockbusters to be released next year or even the year after are already in full swing. Looking at the names of my favorite directors, actors, and movies on the list, I have no choice but to wait patiently. For example, "STAR TREK 2" will not be released until 2012. The 2009 version of "STAR TREK" completely conquered me, and since then, a new hardcore TREKKIE was born. Long live and prosperity, whenever I meet people, I raise my right hand and put my...

      disgusting

      Alien is so ugly and evil, but it's embarrassing to sell it as an ET. You are not a human being. The
      special effects look fake, but it looks like it was made by a computer.
      Let the alien put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot. You are more powerful than the Tang monk. You have been
      hanging on the audience for too long, and in the end, it is perfunctory, which is to deceive and murder the audience's life. It
      is strongly suspected that Spielberg is...

      Super Memory.

      I first saw the trailer and thought it wasn't an alien theme or it was like World's War.
      The result is an ET-like theme.
      The last sentence of the little hero, you are still alive and go back.
      As a result, the aliens really came back.
      This is a little too nonsensical.
      Tell me what a good place this movie is.
      The alien appearance scene is actually very limited.
      But it's great to create that terrifying atmosphere.
      The little actors all performed superbly....

      "Super 8" disguised super childhood dream

      Affected by the trailer, the audience's expectations for "Super 8" were deviated, especially in the sci-fi part. This work, directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg, has been criticized and marginalized (only for domestic audiences) after it has attracted much attention. It is really aggrieved. I can only blame the producer's propaganda for being too clumsy, but for J. J. Abrams, this work shows another side of him.
              The film tells the story of a bizarre incident in...

      Suspense builds too much, keeps it too long, and sometimes it's not good

      1. "Super 8" was once one of my most anticipated movies of 2011, of course, because the director was JJ Abrams, and the person who tinkered with suspenseful masterpieces such as "Lost" and "The Cloverfield File" was Definitely something to look forward to.

      2. I didn't expect that this sci-fi suspense film with Spielberg's participation behind the scenes would not look good? ! I don't know how many people feel the same way as me. It stands to reason that the mysterious elements...

    Movie plot

    In 1979, an ordinary town in Ohio, USA. The young Joe Lamb ( played by Joel Courtney ) lost his mother, and his life and death grief kept him silent for a long time. A few months later, at the invitation of his good friend Charles (Riley Griffith) , he decided to make a few friends together to shoot a horror movie with a Super 8 camera (8 mm). Of course, what made him make up his mind was that the beautiful girl Alice (Elle Fanning)...

    "Super 8" is very attentive in the processing of the picture. Although there are no lack of smoky explosions and night scenes in the film, the texture and details are extremely delicate and submerged in the spreading darkness, whether it is the background music of the small town scenery Or the tone of the whole film, the director deliberately creates a lightly sad atmosphere, trying to bring the audience back to that era full of...
