How to describe the aliens in the movie?
I think it is: a computer animation with CG as the entity, Blu-Ray as the weapon, and the viewer's brain as the energy, can suck the viewer into the sky, unplug their brains, and assimilate them into a vassal - just that kind of one Huge structure.
This is an alien and a portrayal of the Hollywood film industry today.
CG, there are explicit buttons in the movie. The actor, Jerod, was supposed to be a painter. He went to Los Angeles for his friend Terry in the entertainment industry. He wanted Jerod to help him work and draw computer animations. He also said that he had just earned a vote from the "Robot Brawl" project. The director brothers do CG. How can there be such a coincidence in the world. They are inconvenient to use Avatar to start a shabu, it is too obvious, so Transformers (Transformers II) has become a substitute.
Jerod replied: I don't understand computers. Terry said: It doesn't matter, the computer is just a tool. Thinking about the director's own profession, I think this is particularly interesting.
But the computer in the movie is obviously not just a tool. Terry's mansion is completely computerized, and even the curtains are drawn by computers. The computer can also set the time for drawing the curtains: when the day comes, the curtains will be drawn automatically. This tool is so convenient. But once the power goes out, the computer freezes, but nothing can be done, and the curtains can't be pulled. What's even better is that when the curtain is automatically drawn during the day, it doesn't matter whether the timing is right or not, whether the alien is out of the window or not. The computer was supposed to be a helper, but it became an accomplice of the aliens. This is also very interesting. Do the director brothers have the same view on CG?
Blu-Ray's metaphor in the movie is also very interesting. The movie narrative starts with a blue light (so it has to be flashback). It's also like worrying that the audience might misunderstand blue ray as blue light and don't understand the meaning, and even named Ray the first poor man in the movie to ascend to heaven in blue light. This is also very interesting.
Our audience, facing the new technology of Blu-ray Disc, just like Ray, there is no resistance at all. As long as you want to continue watching DVDs, sooner or later you have to replace the DVD player at home with a Blu-ray player. I know this is domination, but I also feel full of power because of joining the mainstream, and the male protagonist in the movie is like this.
The movie also has a subsidiary metaphorical structure.
Blu-ray discs are specifications jointly set by Panasonic and Sony. The American audience intuitively felt that this was the function of Japanese hegemony. On the wall of Terry's house is a picture with the theme of the Japanese Kamikaze. Interesting. What's even more interesting is that the aliens in the movie, like the Japanese, were bombed by the atomic bomb, but they all quickly regrouped and recovered and returned to power. Some people say that there is no Asian face in this movie, which is politically incorrect. I think it's the opposite, it's too much and too much.
In short, this movie is probably a self-deprecating work made by the director to show his colleagues a laugh, not for us living people.
Think about who to invite to Terry's birthday party? Of course, he has the most friends in the industry, including the unlucky devil Ray. Doesn't this mean that Hollywood CG blockbuster elites have all been taken away by the CG Blu-ray monsters (they participated in the creation)?
What’s more interesting is that it all started in the middle of the night, from waking up in a dream, and in the evening party, someone (like Ray) mentioned taking drugs (thinking that the heroine Elain had morning sickness because of taking drugs) , And most people are drunk and paralyzed.
This shows what?
The story of this movie after waking up from a dream can be said to be a group of Hollywood CG elites, under the influence of alcohol and drugs, thinking day by day and night dreamingly summoning their own monsters, it is such a nightmare, or hallucination. .
