      The right kind of art

      Do movies have to have big scenes, fights, and straight-forward? In addition to the popularity of the plot, Fast and Furious 7, which has no point of interest, can score so high, and the host with such a rich inner drama can actually score so low. Isn't the plot the soul of a movie? It is not good for a movie to be too literary and artistic for the audience to understand, but a movie that is completely straight-forward and has no emotional entanglement will be forgotten after watching it, and...

      love + future + humanity

      When I watched this movie, I really felt very warm, warm and real at the same time. I don't know how you guys feel, but I really like this sci-fi movie with love or a romance movie with sci-fi.

      Human nature: In fact, it is a naked description of good and evil in human nature. Wander and Melanie represent beauty and goodness in human nature, while the seaker represents evil. Everyone has such a balance in their hearts, and some people are better than others. Evil will be friendly, but...

      Actually, it might not be a bad movie.

      Two of the most special aliens appear in the movie. One is the wanderer wonder, and the other is the explorer, the villain.
      Most interestingly, the rovers that turned against each other became more and more human-like.
      And the explorers who have been chasing and killing humans are more human than rovers.
      One understands love and forgiveness, the other understands desire and war.
      It may be better if the director can leave more ink on the collision of these two aliens' minds....

      "Prejudice keeps me from loving others, and arrogance keeps others from loving me" - Twilight's tinted glasses can't do justice to this movie.

      Most of the short reviews I read are complaints, and the targets of the grooves are the directors and screenwriters. Let me talk about the experience of watching a movie without these stereotypes.

      I think big productions can make the audience integrate into it and believe in this fictional space when watching a movie, and if this kind of trust is established, it won't jump out and become a vicious film critic who thinks about how to complain about everything first. This drama is very...

      Inexplicably moved by an alien soul. .

      In fact, when I first watched it, I really didn't think it was interesting, just because the subject matter was relatively new, so I watched it. But at the back, when you enter the plot, you deeply feel the pure soul of this alien parasite, and it is still somewhat inexplicably moved. There are indeed many loopholes in the setting and plot, etc. The performance of the actors is not very perfect, and even the theme can be regarded as an old meme, but when a wanderer is understanding and helping...

    Movie plot

    The story of the film is set in the not-too-distant future when the earth is invaded by an alien creature called "soul". By parasitizing in the human nervous system, this organism gradually wipes out the human nature, controls and replaces the human mind, and lives on the earth through the human body. As a result, the parasitic alien race became the new master of the earth, and the former master of the earth-human beings were reduced...

    Background creation

    Adapted from another novel "A Hospedeira" (The Host) by the author of "Twilight" novel by Stephanie Morgan . Like Mel’s other novels, "A Hospedeira" is also a story about emotional entanglements such as love and choice, and the protagonist is not purely human. ——This is a story about a love triangle but there are only two protagonists. This is also a story about friendship and love, resurrection and survival. It can be said that this...

    Negative View

    Regarding the biggest shortcomings of this film, there are two aspects. One is that the director and screenwriter really need to be improved. Regardless of whether you are appreciating this film with the mentality of watching a blockbuster or a literary film, the most terrifying thing is that it falls into the "chicken rib" stereotype-the empty plot performance, the story carrier cannot support the huge spiritual view contained in the...

    Positive view

    First of all, the theme of this movie is still very novel, just like the zombies and humans in " Warm Bodies " playing affection, "A Hospedeira" uses parasitic human aliens to start a four-cornered love with humans, which is an attraction for viewing fatigue. A great idea for fans of the movie. The author writes such a deep love story, for the director, it is naturally very difficult to control, especially in a feature film to show...
