If you don't have such a high B, don't put on the coat of science and science fiction.

This is not some serious and NB movie. After watching it, I feel that it is just a literary and artistic film to kill time when I am bored.
It’s okay to call it a sci-fi movie, but it’s not so much sci-fi as a suspense in a regular suspense novel, just like I said: Look, there was a heavy rain of candy in the sky 2000 years ago, so human beings learned the craft of making candy . Can this be called science fiction? If it is put in the real life outside of the movie, it can only be used as a small talk, and it may not even be considered as a talk. If it is put in a novel, it can only be regarded as a game of words at most. In order to increase the number of words in the manuscript to Code words at will in pursuit of more royalties. So I have a personal opinion. Whether you think it is a literary film or a science fiction film, in the end it is just a self-imagination that stays between the lines, and the title of NB is a bit too much.
A lot of people are clamoring for a good movie, good science fiction, and propaganda everywhere. It seems that if you don’t comment like this, you will appear to be out of tune with other moviegoers or your IQ is in a mess. I think there are more guys who follow suit.
In fact, this movie would be better as a novel or a textbook example in the history of foreign literature in the Chinese language and literature course at a university, but when made into a movie, it looks pale and without tension. This kind of novel is more suitable for self-imagination, evolution and expansion in everyone's mind, and it is not suitable for putting on a certain high color and using it for debate in public. Strictly speaking, this is a very pale literary film, and there is nothing outstanding. Maybe the translation is not accurate enough, or there are cultural differences. I think this novel is not even the boring "Ancient Capital" and "Thousands of Paper Cranes". superior.
Talk about the dialogue inside, that is, the wonderful logic that many film critics say. The dialogue inside is more perfunctory + generalization = hastily. These so-called professors' questions, questions, and dialogues do not reflect the professionalism of their role at all, and the questions they ask are scattered and lack depth, while the protagonist's The answer is also more like pretending to be deep and pretending to be mysterious.
I'm not saying that this kind of novel shouldn't be made into a movie. There are also very good movies in low-budget movies, such as sniper phone booths, and memories of building block huts. Of course, there are also many real sci-fi masterpieces in large-scale and small-scale films, such as source code, such as lightning miracles. These can be used as novels or made into good movies. They each have their own advantages. If you are a fan of sci-fi, you can also think about these movies, which are thought-provoking and definitely better than the storyline of "This Man From Earth" .
So stop, I'm afraid that if I continue to say it, it will be worthless and cause some people's anger. After all, each group has its own beliefs, and everyone can keep it.
The last suggestion is: if you haven’t seen this movie, please don’t read those hype-like movie reviews first. The provincial people will affect your brain’s self-thinking nerves, so you should bring your own eyes to see it.
