I still think it's a psychological movie, not a sci-fi movie

After watching the movie, it feels no different from reading a book, except that there are more shooting skills of 8 people in the same scene. Many people say that this piece does not get rid of the visual stimulation and starts a spiritual dialogue. But without a visual presentation, sci-fi films fail to follow the prerequisite of being an image in the first place. Science fiction films are used to turn the science fiction and fantasy in our consciousness into things that can be seen in reality. This is called NB's science fiction films.

It's just a really good psychological film. When a person in your life tells you that he lives outside of your life, how will you feel, what emotions will you have, and how will your psychology, cognition, world outlook, values, and outlook on life change? The people who have survived for 14,000 years in this film are just an introduction to all this. What is really exciting is the reaction of other people after hearing this information: funny-incredible-doubt-fear, everyone's psychology The event went through these four stages, and finally ended with John's helpless lie to appease the crowd.

From the first time I heard this kind of information that was detached from reality, I passively and unconsciously understood it in the direction of stories, jokes, etc.; I began to think that the protagonist of this "story" is that John is a real person. Then I began to be really surprised and surprised, and began to put this information into my own brain cells to calculate and judge whether it was true or not. Fake, this has reached the stage of doubt; and when John's "story" is getting more and more outrageous, and even involves the spiritual beliefs that human beings rely on, the smell of fear in the crowd begins to permeate, and that's not bad. Firm beliefs began to crumble little by little. Human self-confidence is built on the transcendence of history. If what John said is true, then human history will be a huge lie. Under this powerful mental pressure, individuals are like grass, and the feeling of insignificance and powerlessness fills my heart. , the collapse of confidence, the lack of confidence in the future, the lack of confidence in life, the lack of trust in the people around us, the various rules that maintain human existence are broken, so if there is nothing to stop the situation, then the mental breakdown will be the destination of most people.

Here is the character analysis:

There are 8 people in the film. John is a loner who has been lonely and lonely for thousands of years. He would not take the initiative to have such a conversation. "Back" is just "one time" among the many "this time" in ten thousand years, or it may be "the first time" (then this person's endurance is really abnormally strong). As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop, and the pleasure of venting made him spit pearls. Therefore, at the beginning, John basically answered everyone's questions, but as the situation progressed, reason gradually prevailed, and John realized that this Considering the danger of the conversation, he gradually began to restrain himself and tried to end the conversation several times, but everyone refused. Of course, John could forcibly end the conversation, but the doubts left in everyone's hearts would torture them for the rest of their lives, as the so-called curiosity killed the cat. So until the last moment, John ended the conversation at the "active request" of everyone.

The remaining 7 people: The woman who is in love with John always shows a kind of trust in love and lover, almost nodding like a nympho and echoing "Darling, what you said is right~";

the young female student, representing the new A generation is more receptive to new things and more tolerant of acceptance. Curiosity is the most prominent behavior of the new generation. They will keep asking questions, just wanting to know more, but not thinking about the meaning of it, maybe because they do not have enough experience to understand, or because They were more open and unfettered; the

old woman Elise was calm at first and reacted like a normal person, but when the conversation involved her deeply held religious beliefs, she was more angry and fearful than others If you are even better, you are almost hysterical. It can be seen that people with beliefs are more difficult to shake than ordinary people, and are more likely to launch resistance and attacks on things that they believe and want to

leave. Calm and tolerant, John can think and understand very rationally and dialectically every time he utters an incredible message. But when John finally admitted that everything was a lie against his will, he acted against everyone. He became very angry and even swears (the other 6 people did not do this when they were the most angry). It can be seen that this person's heart is the most vulnerable. In order not to be hurt, he usually wraps himself tightly, never expresses subjective opinions easily, and hovers in the middle, no matter which side is right on the left or right, he can take advantage of it;

Art, a leather-clad old boy, is the most emotional, the most provocative, and can be said to be frivolous (as can be seen from the fact that he soaked a young and beautiful female student), motorcycles, leather clothes, and unruly images show his inner turmoil. The flames of the people may break out at any time. Therefore, his questions and speeches in the conversation are mostly thorns

. Help each of them, he is not standing on either side of the left or right, he is standing beside the weak. When John was provoked, he helped to say good things. When Elise was angry, he comforted her. He could turn into the "voice" of everyone to persuade John to continue talking, or he could turn into the roundworm in John's stomach to promote the conversation end of. Although it may not be the first team every time, it is always the backbone in every push. He was like a self-proclaimed peacekeeper who ran over with guns and chirps wherever he shouted "Help", of course he could hear the help, or what he thought;

John's son, this tragic figure , as if it represented an emergency, a conversation was constantly stimulated, from the death of his wife to the death of a heart attack after the father and son recognized each other.

This is definitely a very good five star psychological film! !
But as a sci-fi film, there is no visual effect minus one star~~

(I myself never thought
that one day I would be able to write such a long film
review. When you are spraying, you can turn the gear down a little bit, and then turn it down a little bit,
Shanzai Shanzai~ ~~ )
