The plot background of this film is also a genre theme of alien invasion that is often used in the film industry, but the plot structure of the past alien invasion is always quite large. In such a film, explosion and destruction are almost the theme song in the film. Various buildings are bombed in the film, and people's eyeballs are bombed outside the film. However, this film surprisingly limits such a situation that all humans should participate in. It is only confined to a small block. In order to protect their homes, a few gangsters took up weapons in their hands and evil outsiders. Star creature confrontation.
If we watch this movie too rigorously, it is actually a very unqualified work. The attacking power of aliens always fluctuates with the development of the film's plot, sometimes breaking through the wall easily, but the next one Knuckles eye was easily killed by people using bed sheets, but for low-cost movies, which are themselves survival in the cracks, they can show the characteristics of the movie well with limited resources without deliberate publicity. When the special effects make the storyline at a discount, it's really superb.
The film is full of British street style and absurdism. The characters in the film are basically the standard British street youth, especially the block boss inside. With a swaying body and a fluent Rap, this kind of person is desperate to the alien creatures in the film. Fighting, we can understand how full the absurd spirit is in the film. Whether it's "Two Smokers" or "Zombie Sean" and "Bloodman", the absurd comedy style in these British films can always interpret seemingly serious issues so humorously, plus the United Kingdom itself The unique cold humor has indeed formed a unique style of British comedy.
Going back to the film, the director seems to be telling an extremely absurd story, but in fact it is leading the topic to those marginalized neighborhoods and gangsters in British society. The director can boldly put the problem out and make people right. The film has a good impression. For Joe Kushny, who is directing a feature film for the first time, it is indeed a rare feature of this film. In the movie, when the protagonists hid in their friends’ homes, one of Moss’s thoughts can be said to be one of the core issues of the film, “I think these things were sent by the federal government. They sent drugs first, and then guns. Now It is these alien creatures who come to kill us. They don’t care. They feel that we are not fast enough to kill each other.” These social problems do not exist in themselves, but are a step towards problems caused by the government’s indifference to them and proper management. Step worse. While the director used the film to entertain the public, he also put forward his own views on social topics. This sense of social responsibility is indeed a kind of spirit that Chinese directors generally lack, and this spirit is not something that can be done by casually shooting a few main theme movies and then relying on public invoices and stealing the box office. This is not an indicator, but A kind of thing that a director should really do.
Although the film cannot withstand deep scrutiny in terms of details or plot logic, the director can grasp the narrative rhythm very well when he directs the work for the first time, and it is inevitable that he has some expectations for his future works. I personally like the movie "Block War". I like the unique atmosphere of these young men who are full of MANMANMAN and FUCK in the film. At the same time, the director has also achieved another goal of his very well, which has caused me to be concerned about social problems. Some reflections, sometimes, if we can consider the problem from several angles, we may see more
