Countries under the Cold War were suspicious and wary of each other. It was an era of large-scale professionalization of the KGB and the FBI. Under the relatively concrete system confrontation, politicians could not help but play a characteristic game of the Cold War era: imaginary enemies. Such games are always accompanied by whimsical and absurdity. Ideological confrontation and political games eventually affected the spread of public culture. A large number of cold war-themed film and television series were filled with European and American screens of that era (fortunately, Chinese people were poorly unable to afford TV at that time, and the theaters at that time returned. Owned by the great party, the evil fire has not caught a prairie fire), and lasts for more than 20 years. We don’t know how to say the real name of the specific person, so it’s actually quite happy if we play in a retreat. All the imaginary enemies in here have been compiled, so we saw the political science fiction blockbusters like "Man Under the Atlantic" and "X-Files". They all have the following characteristics: the system is outside, the political is implied, and the source is unknown. , Missing, absurd in the mystery, always suspense outside the reality. It is fully in line with the general suspicion and guard mentality of that era.
And born in the middle of the seventies in Jushes, the Richard brothers of the middle-class family must have retained a lot of childhood memories. These memories are the brand of that generation, like a birth certificate that cannot be changed. Of course , It also affected Xiaoli’s artistic path. At this point, I really feel the same with him. Thinking about how many "Mysteries" and "UFO Exploration" I bought back then, I started to stare at the magazine and start daydreaming. Who else? Regardless of what is written in the end!
As a result, I seem to be able to accept whatever the film is made. Yes, there are many flaws, the plot is procrastinated, the tune is awkward, and sister Ka is a bit aunt, but because of this limited era In the background, all unreasonable treatments have become the attraction of the film. The most important thing is that the film has a rhythm that belongs to the story itself. What's wrong? Anyway, I read it all at once. After all, I set a premise for the film: it seems that it was not made for the people of today. Therefore, the propositional thinking similar to "Immoral Trading" in the film did not arouse much reaction from me. I only understand: the box that can kill is the black box used to kill in that era, and it is a gift dedicated to time and memory. Just understand it, but if you don't understand it, you may not even be a happy one.
This last year’s movie seemed to be more scolded than exaggerated, which made Xiaoli a little wronged.
