'The Invisible Man' Film Review - Changing Gender Status and the Pros and Cons of Technology

First of all, to explain my understanding of the ending, the real "invisible man" is Adrian and not his brother . The reason is that Adrian said to his brother after Cecilia left him, I have $5 million here, if Cecilia is mentally ill or commits a crime this money is yours, you know what to do. So the puppet brother became Adrian's tool man, wearing the cloak of the invisible man and constantly causing trouble to Asilia. After his brother exposed his identity, Adrian found that the game could not continue, so he directed and acted a scene of being kidnapped, and pretended to hold a gluttonous feast to save Cecilia. Unexpectedly, her conceited nature betrayed Adrian, and the "surprise" aroused Cecilia's vigilance, so Cecilia excused herself to leave, rushed to the top floor, put on an invisibility cloak, and killed Adrian, and finally realized that she was invincible. Revenge of the leaked traces.

Next, let’s talk about the two practical issues reflected in this film, one is the changes in the status of men and women in contemporary society , and the other is the role of technology as a double-edged sword in social development .

This film portrays the role of Adrian, who is extremely intelligent, narcissistic, conceited, and extremely controlling. He is a microcosm of the extremes that contemporary men tend to go to after gaining certain status and resources. On the contrary, Cecilia is not the epitome of contemporary women parasitized in patriarchal society, she is the representative of independent, beautiful, and career women of the new age . They dare to get rid of the oppression of traditional patriarchy and can obtain bread and milk by their own ability, which is a trend of women's development after economic independence. This has also sounded the alarm for the majority of male compatriots. This era is no longer the era in which men dominate the sky with one hand. Giving full play to their gender advantages and working together to create a win-win situation is the development direction of modern society .

"Invisibility cloak" is a technological highlight in the film. To achieve complete invisibility, it is necessary not only to effectively absorb the light reflected by the object, but also to effectively remove the shadow of the object. Due to the high technical difficulty, the current Not yet mature. I checked the current progress of the world's invisibility cloak research. Britain, the United States, Japan and Russia once made invisibility cloaks in the early 20th century, but they were all invisible under certain conditions. We should think, if the invisibility cloak is really researched, how should it be applied reasonably? Because the word "stealth" does not seem to be a glossy word, it is likely to be used by the perverted Adrian crowd for revenge, robbery or rape. However, if it can be applied to the military, it will certainly greatly improve the safety and concealment of people or things on the battlefield. In a word, it is still too early to worry about the harm brought by the invisibility cloak to the society. The real concern is to promote the development of the optical technology related to the invisibility cloak . Moral consciousness naturally constrains human behavior .

    The brain made up a picture: the old monsters of Universal in the 1930s gathered together, gave the heroine a thumbs up, and called out in unison: Make Universal Proud Again!

    #There are spoilers# Not bad. Moss's opening is neurotic, giving people a very emotional feeling, which is why she can feel the presence of the invisible person later on and others can't feel that the director is a good detail. The idea of ​​using empty mirrors in invisible scenes is also wonderful, but the second half uses a lot of action scenes, so that it will make people feel a little too superficial when it corresponds to the horror theme. In the middle of the period, everyone didn't believe that Moss made me watch it very anxiously, so the more anxious it was, the more it would reflect the abhorrence of the invisible man, which made this somewhat dark ending even more challenging the audience's view of good and evil. Anyway, I really want to kill him, but there are not many people as brave and smart as the heroine. PS sister is so good and looks good, she died too early!
