Last night, the movie channel played "Food Falls from the Sky". After watching it, it was much better than I expected. Although it can also be classified as a children's movie, a good movie should have three elements, rhythm, entertainment and creativity.
The story of Food Out of the Sky is simple, a small American town, a country-like place, has recently made headlines and people from all over the world want to come here for free food.
It turned out that a young scientific genius used his ingenuity to develop a food making machine, which can even make food simulate the weather phenomenon, so that the food can be eaten from the sky. Hot dogs, spaghetti, baked cakes, salads and all the yummy you've ever had, of course Western food.
A TV anchor, the hero's ex-girlfriend, Sam, a pushy and gluttonous congressman, a fishing tackle shop owner, and the hero's father, finally saved the town. There's even a small pet, a little monkey. As expected, the invention brought honor to the inventor, and at the same time, when he was receiving congratulations from the people who were crazy about the endless food, a gastronomic disaster was quietly brewing.
The genre of this movie is commercial entertainment, so its entertainment and rhythm are matched, and it feels like no second is wasted, from the huge surprise to people in the first half of the food to the disaster caused by the food storm created by the food machine in the second half . , people are forced to run for their lives, the whole story develops with the plot, and its final theme is also family and relatives, and taking responsibility for these mainstream themes in the United States.
From his invention of the food making machine, to being praised, to discovering that the food making machine was out of control, but being blocked and failing to build another plane, to find a teammate and go straight to the destruction of the machine, the whole plot is straight, and there is no pause. Or express it in a more subtle form, which is very fast, but does not ignore the point that should be made clear.
The highlight of the film is the food, because everyone feels the same about food. If you like it, you like it. The cheese fountain, the children's playground of junk food, and the sailboat made of baked bread can actually rescue everyone from disaster. Mouthwatering and admiring the boldness of the producer's imagination.
The pace is fast, which means that I can quickly satisfy my curiosity, whether people react differently when the food is first introduced in the town, or when a food storm hits, buildings are destroyed, and people are overwhelmed by their favorite foods. Poor, but in the end, the bravery and wisdom of the timid protagonist who suddenly turned into a hero to save his home made moviegoers the greatest satisfaction during this period of time.
There is a lot of creativity in the film, and it also expresses another theme. When everyone in the film blames the protagonist for bringing them a disaster, the police stand up and say, "Yes, but we asked him to do it." In one sentence We don't want to be responsible for expressing the troubles of many people, that is, to blame others. This is also what the movie wants adults to learn from. There are many details, which are all shining points. You are welcome to find them after watching.
