Ang Lee's "Gemini Man" is not about the plot, but about the technology. 120fps is truly immersive and silky smooth. Movies challenge the possibility of vision - to put on glasses and see what the human eye sees in reality. In the past, when I watched a movie, I only entered the movie with the first half of my body, but now when I watch a movie, the whole person is in the movie. He tilted his head back as his mouth approached, and burst into tears when he was provocative. When the dimensions of the screen are broadened, I want to see more large-scale or depth-of-field shots, watching the trees outside the window swaying in the wind, watching the ships driving by the sea in the distance, watching the curtains being blown up and down by the wind .

The most exciting scene in the film is not that the heroine says that Henry and the young killer have the same DNA, nor that the third killer is uncovered and found to be another Henry, but the first time Henry sees him at gunpoint. The killer had a similar face to him, but on the stairs they pointed guns at each other who looked exactly like him in the mirror, even though the young killer was wearing sunglasses, and then the shot showed a sweaty, nervous-looking Henry. face close-up. The mirror is already terrifying, and seeing the same self in the mirror is even more terrifying.

The most touching part of the film is, of course, the provocative scene between Henry and Xiao Ke, which is a good time to have tears in the eyes.

"Gemini Man" is not about the plot, but about the technology. Ang Lee's discussion of "identity" is far from deep enough. But Ang Lee is still a lovable director, because he is always creating possibilities, so I hope that his next movie can show more mysterious characters or things in the depth of field, so that the audience can find clues to stimulate. .

    "Children wait for their parents to say sorry, but parents wait for their children to say thank you". The "Father Trilogy" focuses on the compromise of fatherhood in Eastern families; after becoming a father, he turns to emphasize the resistance of sons in his writings in Western families. With the sci-fi proposition of "Gemini", Ang Lee explores the collision of "rationality and sensibility" faced by the relationship of "father and son" from two perspectives of different age groups on the same character. The father and son have truly become a whole, and the opposites can be unified to extend/retrospect the eternal creative motif: the emotional formula between Yu Jiaolong, Li Mubai, and the blue-eyed fox, which is also "clone" by the author to the two Smith and Owen Love and Kill in the command.

    120fps+3D+2K / The texture of the water shot in the three-dimensional space still makes me feel fascinating. The light and faces under the night are also favored by this new camera. The effects (emotional and technical) presented by Smith, young and old, are also well completed. It is a pity that the script problem is really big, and there are too many waste pens. Obviously this is because Ang Lee did not get greater creative freedom, but in the audiovisual scheduling of several key scenes, we can clearly see the ingenuity of dealing with symbiosis.
