Because he is Ang Lee

Ang Lee is a gentle person, the kind of person who speaks slowly even when he gets angry. The same seems to be true of Will Smith in Gemini Man, even if he is a killer who can kill a target sitting on a moving high-speed train from a hundred meters away. However, it should be difficult for people without prior knowledge to guess that "Gemini Man" and "The Wedding Banquet" were produced by the same person. The same can be said for the recent "Billy Lynn". Ang Lee's works are always changing. .

The amazing special effects, the almost distorted scenery in the lens, the sharp language of the editing, the tight plot, the two hours of the movie is not redundant at all... Wait, because he is Ang Lee, so he is the best I can be. All can feel excusable.

Also because he is Ang Lee, I would think that he pulled out the question of human nature in such a straightforward way, and then left the question of to be or not to be to us on purpose, and it was not the director's skill. hook up. It's a pity that my skill is not enough to prove whether giving up one person to save ten thousand people will destroy humanity, or whether giving up ten thousand people to save one person will destroy human nature.

ps: I think that the old friends of the protagonist die one after another, maybe because a person has gained a complete self, and he will lose something other than himself.

    The first batch of people who watched 120 frames was so good at it that I was looking forward to it for three years in vain. The story is so boring, the only interesting thing is that the instrumental pilot played by Benedict Wong looks like a live-action Porco Rosso.

    Wow, relying on this dazzling technique, the true and false CG of Smith’s fights are not said. This is a 3D movie with low-light scenes two-thirds of the time. It not only has 120 frames, but also slow motion 120. Frames (but there is no 4K 120-frame screen in the entire Netherlands, I only watched 2K 60-frames. Some scenes are very amazing, such as the wide range of sea water, the silky high-speed action scenes at the moment, and even the first-person perspective shots on motorcycles. It’s amazing that technology has really expanded the possibilities of image language. But the effect of this novel expression is still very limited. The script and lines are not so bad as expected (the core of the father-son relationship is OK), but more likely It's a compromise to technical ambitions.
