"Jupiter Ascending" is a movie I just watched, and it's a work by the "Wachowskis" with great personality! Regardless of whether they are brothers or sisters, their dirty and cool aesthetics, as well as their bold assumptions about human existence, social structure, meaning of life, and the unknown...and what the movie is going to show, dark and light, all make People are fascinated.
Now, my memory is not very good, and I always forget some special, important, beautiful, higher than reality. Therefore, I specially recorded what I wanted to say by borrowing this film more than an hour ago.
1. The movie Bunsheng
can make me, who is very sleepy and working overtime, keep my eyes open and watch it with relish. Sound effects and visuals have nothing to say. If it is difficult to accept, it may be because the actors are not very idol dramas, the aesthetics of the royal family that dominates the universe are also strange, and the flying machines are even more Gothic and dirty. What can I do? The aesthetics of this world are even weirder than those in the movies, and the dirty, pompous and ugly are more approachable and realistic. Clean and clean clothes, isn't it Hunan Satellite TV?
2. The world system
For the Wachowskis, the world will always have a deep dark secret, a truth that ordinary people cannot reach and do not want to touch. Powerful people bury the truth with their daily routines. They stand at the top of the pyramid and sit on the bottom of their feet. Only a select few will flee the pyramid and stay outside the tower in a delusional attempt to overthrow this seemingly impregnable pyramid. The heroine is such a seemingly ordinary girl who was chosen. The male protagonist is a bad boy with extraordinary power to protect the girl.
3. Men and women
don't know if this is the eternal theme of human beings. When two people with high charm value and equal charm meet each other, it will be incredible. But the charm value doesn't seem to be the key, the key is whether the two are brave enough. Love really needs courage. Although this is a love blockbuster about an old-school hero saving beauty, but there is no way, the heroine also said that she probably has this genetic defect, and love is so blind and silly. Besides, everyone is young, energetic and courageous, and there are so many twists and plots. This is good.
4. The lines are to the effect
that the gravity is downward, and it is natural to fall. It is easy to go down, and it is difficult to go up.
Life, birth is a kind of consumption, if you can use your life for unnecessary consumption and exchange it for profit, is that also a kind of life's value destination?
Lies are essential, such as hopes, dreams, and it is the force that keeps things going. is a necessary means to achieve an end.
5. Overreading
Is the most precious resource time? People at the top of the pyramid always want to have scarce things and use scarcity to defend their rights. Rights can also be obtained scarce. It's a cycle of addiction. The lucky and able have a hard time resisting this predatory pleasure.
But the heroine and the hero finally hide their power and rights, probably because they have love. Although love is more nihilistic than power, it makes people forget greed. The reason why the world is neither dark nor light is because of these, the chosen people who are bright and uplifting.
In any case, people should choose to go up...
