Armageddon

Lying in my little quilt at the moment, wet hair, shivering cold, just took a shower, the water is not dry yet, the mood is still stuck in the time of watching the movie, as usual, before reading any movie reviews, write down These words only represent personal opinions and are for reference only. If you don't like it, it's useless.

It's not easy to watch this movie (more on that later, be careful)

I found this movie because I watched the director's "This house is made by me" before. At that time, I didn't plan to write a movie review. I flipped through the director's homepage and saw the title that appealed to me.

The beginning of the movie can be described with a big "mourning" word. The very personal soundtrack and the language of the shots are exactly the same as the one I watched before, the familiar taste, the familiar formula, but the story has changed, like The filming and retouching are the same, but the plot has changed, and the tone and style are still the same. I guess the director must like oil paintings. Otherwise, there are various oil paintings and scenes similar to oil paintings in the two films, and the use of slow motion is like A looping GIF dynamic oil painting has a different beauty!

In the first few minutes, there was a scene that was very dramatic. One second was animals, characters, and landscapes, and the next second was two planets. I'm curious how hard is this cut? In the previous scenes, I can clearly understand what the director wants to say, but after seeing the two planets, although I don’t know what the story is (I didn’t see any spoilers), I was thinking, if the director thinks the same as me , the two planets will definitely collide

I thought this was a story about a patient with depression, but I didn't expect a story with such a span in the future. The story begins with a wedding, ordinary characters, and a story, but I can vaguely feel the negative life of the heroine. Attitude, I look very depressed. On the one hand, I feel that the heroine is too troublesome for others. On the other hand, I understand the feeling that when the negative emotions come out, I can not care about anything. Seeing this, I thought the director was going to start to create a melancholy. The image of a person with depression, including a series of mental journeys, did not expect that when the second chapter began, the story went in another direction, I can only say, isn’t this the best way to describe depression? It was set by God, and I finally understood why it suddenly cut to two planets for no reason.

Writing here, I want to talk about the memories of the end of the world brought to me by the two movie scenes

The first association is that when I was about ten years old (I said big or not, I said little or not), I was watching TV at my uncle's house and suddenly heard the sound of the glass in the house, so I quickly went out to watch, Through the glass, I saw red round things not far away rising and falling, rising and falling, I was stunned, is that the sun? So I hurriedly called my uncle to come out. I pointed to the outside and shouted with fear and crying, Uncle, what is that red one? I'm so scared, are you going to hit me? My uncle looked outside and said, "Silly, those are fireworks. My cousin also looked outside. I looked at my uncle with suspicion, and suddenly there was a "boom". Sure enough, the fireworks turned into the sun again. I'm sorry, but at that moment, I believed in the end of the world. I really thought that the red one was the sun. It was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to hit.

The second association is that when I was about 20 years old, I was working. I was in a Korean electronics factory. The assembly line was very hard. There was a colleague, a foreigner. We were busy all day, and the whole person was about to fall apart. After he finished his last work, he was tired and lay on the oil drum outside. I said, when will this day be the end? What do you mean by being alive? He looked at me, frowned, and said that he thought about it the same way as I did. Sometimes when I feel like I can't live any longer, I just want to hurry up and end the world, everyone die together! I'm speechless after listening

These two memories are my deepest impression of the end of the world. In fact, we all thought about the end of the world more or less when we were young. Later, when we grew up, some people became the sisters in the film, and some people became For the sister, some people become the child or the father who committed suicide. For the sister, fear and anxiety are the last struggle, and for the sister, this way is like a relief, the gift of God, let the safety The people of the world die with you, not because of your prayers, but just by chance. I am very lucky. I really feel that if there is such an opportunity to die together, it would be great. What I don’t have the courage to do, Passive choice, although sad, but secretly happy in my heart, it seems that everything is complete, compared to "Three Body", people on earth still try to hide behind Jupiter, build curvature spacecraft, don't toss, the desire to survive is this. Time is meaningless, we all die together, don't panic, because it's fair

I don't know if my angle of watching this movie is in line with the director. Of course, I can't understand the deeper level, and I don't bother to think about it. For this aspect, I will give him five stars. Maybe this is a negative and pessimistic film. The movies that people watch, it should be said, are an aphrodisiac for patients with depression, the kind of calmness and relaxation before the end of the day.

The movie is very to my taste, but I also have to complain. The two-hour movie was basically shot by hand. It was even more shaky than "This house was made by me". When I saw it at 1 hour and 27 minutes , I threw up, I threw up, I ate some Snickers, and I threw up all of them. Fortunately, I had shoe covers, otherwise I would have sprayed all over the floor. I watched "Roadside Picnic" before, too, 40 minutes. Long shots are as uncomfortable as seasickness and motion sickness. Alas, maybe this shooting method is the director's "ulterior motives". It seems to have a documentary feel, and it is easier for people to integrate into the scene, but I really don't want to watch it again. Even if I look at it, I don't dare to eat.
