The wolf looking for light and hope - "Tomorrowland"

Maybe you don't know the background of "Tomorrowland" very well. The name of the movie comes from the space theme park area of ​​Disneyland, and the idea for the movie comes from a box marked "1952" left by Walt Disney himself.
(The following contains moderate spoilers, please read carefully!)
As a sci-fi film, "Tomorrowland" has enough shocking visual effects. The futuristic "Tomorrow's World" and the visual impact of the footage are all indispensable for a sci-fi film. Although the film is released in 2D/IMAX 2D format, the visual impact is quite good, and it is the conscience of the industry compared to the conversion to 3D. The editor recommends that you choose 2D. When choosing a seat, you can choose the seat in the front, so that the visual effect will be quite good.

But I actually think it's more of a drama than a pure sci-fi movie. Why do you say that? Because Disney, as a global children's entertainment giant, not only creates things that entertain children, but also entertains and educates children. "Tomorrowland" also tells people that one cannot give up hope and cannot give up on the future.

The film begins with a self-reported form, where you will see Clooney, the fifth king of masonry, telling a story, and the countdown clock will slowly create a sense of tension and crisis. But to be honest, the next hour was a bit slow. Of course, it's not that it's not good-looking, but it's a bit too long.
But fortunately, the heroine is still pretty good. She keeps making jokes all by herself, hitting the wall, falling down the stairs, and yelling in the car is pretty hard work.
Entering the second half of the game, it looks exciting and exciting. Fights, explosions, and future weapons appear one after another. Although the story has not been able to break away from the traditional routine of "children become saviors" and "the villain boss will eventually be defeated", the heroine's humorous performance and the sense of technology in the future world are still worth the fare.

There is no need to say much about the acting of George Clooney, the fifth of the masonry kings in the film, and Brittney Robertson, who plays the heroine Casey, always gives me a sense of Emily Blunt.
But I think the most liked should be the voice-controlled cyborg "Athena" actor Rafi Cassidy. This little loli, who has small freckles on her face and is only twelve years old, has powerful acting skills. The rivalry with the two protagonists can be described as eye-catching, and what is even more rare is that in the last emotional scene with Clooney's rival, you can't imagine that this is what a twelve-year-old girl can show.
Another thing that surprised me about this little loli was that she, from the UK, looked like Harry Potter when she was serious, and looked like a miniature version of Audrey Hepburn when she was wearing a dress.

    I also feel that this is indeed a big promotional film for a Disney theme park, and even the function of the promotional film is not so good. Perhaps in order to take care of the children's audience, the plot is too simple and foolish, especially at the end, it really ends as soon as the chaos comes. She is the same heroine as the chosen one, and the second villain. The only bright spot is that loli, and the bad expressions of the miscellaneous soldiers

Tomorrowland quotes

  • [last lines]

    Casey Newton: [voice over] First order of business... get the door back open. Couldn't hurt to get a few experienced engineers over here. Next...

    Frank Walker: [voice over] Put the party back on... and print out some new invitations.

    [Now cut to Frank and Casey speaking in front of an audience of androids like Athena]

    Frank Walker: Which brings us to why we're here today. A year ago, it was all supposed to be over... we shouldn't even be here, but we are. It isn't hard to knock down a big, evil building that's telling everybody that the world's going to end. What is hard... is figuring out what to build in its place, and if we're going to do that... we can't do it alone. We're going to need all of you...

    Young British Recruiter: [raises his hand] Frank Walker. May I ask a question?

    Frank Walker: Sure!

    Young British Recruiter: The search parameters you've given us, while mathematically sound, are a bit... undefined. Could you be more specific, please?

    Frank Walker: Well, Miss Newton. You want to tell our recruiters what they're looking for?

    Casey Newton: Dreamers... we are looking for dreamers. Anyone who will feed the right wolf.

    [start handing out cases of Tomorrowland buttons]

    Frank Walker: So... I once told your predecessor that she was nothing but a combination of ones and zeroes. I was wrong. She was much more than that. You are much more than that, too. So, go out there and do she would've done. Find the ones who haven't given up. They're the future.

  • Athena: There are things I need to tell you before the final... before the automated program kicks in. I'm a machine, I never thought that was bad until I saw your face when you found out I was.

    Frank Walker: I always knew...

    Athena: No you didn't...

    Computer Voice: Systems failing. Activating last thoughts saved for Frank Walker.

    [Voice-Over]

    Athena: Log 15. September. 1965. Frank Walker is looking at me in a manner that is difficult to recognize. It seems imperative to explain to him that I'm an audio-animatronic...

    Frank Walker: Athena...

    Athena: ...But I'm concerned that he may be adversely affected when he finds out that I'm not human. He has potential. I don't want to damage it. He needs someone to believe in him and I am fulfilling that need. He's my top recruit. Log 24. October. 1965. I'm having unusual thoughts towards Frank Walker. I suspect a flaw in my empathy interface. I'm thinking I should report it... but I haven't. I cannot explain why. Log 78. April. 1984. Frank Walker has been banished by Governor Nix. He says he's lost hope and he holds me responsible for having given it to him in the first place. I do not understand this. He says I never will, because I do not feel anger... or disappointment... or love.

    Computer Voice: End recording.

    Athena: I was designed to find dreamers... I found you... and lost you. But I found her... Casey. Dreamers need to stick together. It's not programming, it's personal.
