The Gathering of Men and Women

The plot is relatively old-fashioned, superpowers, conspiracy theories, and so on...
But the old-fashioned theme does not mean that there is no good news, and the bright star plastic surgery is a big point.
First on the field, Dakota Fanning. The little girl's first work that impressed me was Spielberg's 5-episode sci-fi short series TAKEN. At that time, Fanning was only 6 or 7 years old. The little girl played a main role in the film. Her mature and sophisticated acting skills were already outstanding. She cried when she wanted to cry, made trouble when she wanted to, frowned and comforted her family. It's hard to imagine that this is a 7-year-old little girl. Fanning's second film with a little impression is "I am sam", which is about a mentally retarded father and a strong daughter. The plot is a very simple emotional drama, and the highlight of the film is almost all the acting skills of the two protagonists. Fanning fully demonstrated her talent in the film. The persistent, strong and sympathetic image touched many audiences, and Sam's protagonist became a foil, paving the way for this little girl to become a star. Fanning also has a younger sister, and also appeared in TAKEN.
Fanning in Push is already very big, and the female university has changed eighteen times. The only thing that still impresses is that cute and childish face. Fanning's unchanging and sophisticated acting skills in the film, and the design of the stylist also made this young girl more mature in addition to her vitality.
The other star of the show is Camilla Belle. Being a child star like Fanning, her age is almost as long as hers. But Belle is obviously not as lucky as Fanning, and there are no very successful works in the early days. The first impression was at The Patriot. Belle was so pretty, the half-blood gave her pretty brows, delicate lips, and a slightly sad look in her eyes. If Belle can be more accomplished in acting, I believe the road to acting will be very bright.
The male protagonist is average, but he is the black villain who appreciates his partner very much. In particular, the first scene of black people appeared in the scene, with a strong momentum and full of style.
As mentioned at the beginning, the biggest highlight of the whole work is not in the plot and stunts, but in the modeling of the characters. The colorful tones of Hong Kong, combined with the strong rhythmic background music, plus the warm color processing in the later stage of the film, and the cool movements of the characters, make people feel like they are watching a Cult film. There are always gorgeously colored shots that complement the protagonist's personality and charisma.
Since it is a sci-fi film, the special effects can't escape of course. The popularity of superpower themes such as Heroes and X-men has raised the audience's taste to a new level. The screenwriter chose some superpowers that are easy to express, such as foreknowledge and mind control, but there are also more difficult challenges such as mind movement. The director's skills are still commendable, at least the rhythm of the scene is quite good, and it looks very cool.
Nice movie. Strongly recommended for men and women who want to look cool.
