Hitchcock would feel ashamed if he saw The Invisible Man

If the project book "The Invisible Man" was originally put into Chinese film companies, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, most of the feedback received would be that the premise of killing each other is love, and at least ten minutes ahead. , even for half an hour, to show the process of two people meeting, falling in love and falling in love, and the process of breaking up the relationship, if there is no standing, how can it be broken? Another question about casting is to kick out the heroine Elisabeth Moss. This looks too shabby. It doesn't suit the taste of the Chinese even more than Kirsten Dunst. At least she has to be blonde with a thin waist. A beautiful woman, it's enough to scream like that. Originally, I was going to make a defense for the above two questions, just as I did in the face of similar doubts before, but some things, really, if you understand, you understand, and if you don't understand, you and the other party are just farting.

In this kind of film, horror thriller, or sci-fi genre, every few places in the United States can always produce a very sophisticated and pioneering movie, regardless of the cost, and sci-fi horror thriller was actually a genre in the earliest days. From this, we can see whether the so-called science fiction trend in China is willing to be arranged in the same background as horror movies, although science fiction has gradually acquired its own genes due to the efforts of Kubrick, Spielberg, Lucas, and Verhoeven. and features, but it can almost never deny its connection to the bloodline of horror thrillers.

Although I can't be completely optimistic about what kind of female genre films can develop in the future, because the genre film system has been established by male filmmakers for more than a hundred years, this is an undeniable reality, so we must establish female genre films. The system is a long way to go, and I have not seen many such filmmakers so far, and this is the goal. But there is no doubt that "The Invisible Man" may be an epoch-making genre film in concept, and it is not only based on female genre films as a coordinate system. It is a bold assumption that, for some scientific or superstitious reason, Mr. Hitchcock has been resurrected, and has vowed to live another five hundred years, make five hundred suspenseful horror films, and consider himself timeless. But if he is fortunate enough to see "The Invisible Man", I guess there is a high possibility that he will give up this idea and think it is better to lie back in the coffin.
