Before the movie started, there was a couple next to my seat. The man was holding a mobile phone and turning on the amplifier to watch a movie like Young and Dangerous. Fortunately, after the opening of the movie, he finally put down his damn mobile phone under the urging of his girlfriend. Then I silently moved to a farther seat about the second time he made that "oh hoo" sound, when Roy's parachute opened a small hole. Although he would often make sounds like "Oh hoo" and "Fuck", and ask questions such as "Where are the mice?", combined with Roy's mental journey, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing - after all I have gained an intellectual superiority.
For the first thirty minutes of the film, I admired Brad Pitt's superb acting and his deep, magnetic voice. Thirty minutes into the middle of the film, I began to wonder if the director had some morbid penchant for close-ups of Brad Pitt's face. In the last 30 minutes of the film, I was worried that showing Brad Pitt's face for so long would have a bad effect on the projector, like a screen showing a certain color for a long time would ruin that pixel. kind of look.
This movie is like the universe he shows, dull and empty. Roy, played by Brad Pitt, is like the protagonist of an inferior RPG who embarks on an adventure to "save the world". But it's a pity that this RPG is very mini, and it doesn't even have a teammate system, so you have an NPC teammate from Earth to the moon, and he stuffs you a quest item at the end of the first chapter of the adventure; from the moon to Mars, you get another quest item; Mars To Neptune, to the Lima spaceship, and then back to the Cepheus... In this one and a half hour, countless supporting characters were like stones on the side of the road, leaving only a few lines and then hastily exited the stage. There is only one and only brilliant protagonist who can survive a fall from a height of 10,000 meters, escape from a war on the moon, hold the audience during the Mars landing, and perform one seemingly impossible mission after another. Perfectly swept away single-handedly. The only problem is... not me playing.
Of course, of course... I also understand what kind of spiritual core the director wants to express, loneliness, severing contact with others, making the soul lose its anchor; a lofty goal, the goal that drives all the meaning of your life, a distance from other The goal of 2.714 billion kilometers for people makes loneliness bearable. Or, maybe it's that goal that makes you lonely. It's a bit like Sisyphus pushing stones, the foot of the mountain is loneliness, and the top of the mountain is the sea of stars. You fly to the sea of stars in order to escape from loneliness, but the stars are endless, and you return to loneliness, and the cycle is endless.
But the film's expression of this is too bad, when the audience is always attracted by the magnificent universe and exquisite spaceships, or lunar robbers or interstellar killer baboons who appear out of nowhere and exit inexplicably How many people will pay attention to what Brad Pitt's deep and magnetic voice is telling and writing when he says "oh roar"? After all, you are so cool, you can wear the asteroid belt with your body, and you can rub nuclear bombs with your bare hands. You are actually very annoying to these idiots around you, but it's just that you have traveled far away for more than half a year, and the idiot's tolerance is full. I think, within half a year of returning to Earth, Roy is thinking about going to Neptune to breathe again. After all, the stone of Sisyphus is not so easy to be thrown away by you.
