A good concept is far from a good movie

Let’s start with storyboarding and editing.
The director of this film is Tasimusin. If the director has no ideas at all, it is not. The film basically realizes the storytelling with the lens. The period of repeatedly changing lovers is considered good and achieved the desired effect. But the middle few clips of stream of consciousness are not so natural and seem a bit deliberate. To sum up, the editing method is not hidden behind the storytelling, but it makes people feel uncomfortable with over-telling.

According to the story, there is a good idea. If consciousness can be transplanted to another body, can those great consciousnesses such as Einstein and Jobs be immortal? But the story does not revolve around these developments, but revolves around hurting someone, and ethics does not allow this to unfold. This allows a conflict between people and society to be reduced to a conflict between individuals and individuals. So the story of the film will give people a sense of small but not grand. The main lines of the story, such as the emotional line, the line of the protagonist and the organization, and the line of the protagonist's self-struggle, are all at the personal inner level or the level of conflict between people. Because there is no conflict between people and society, the story seems to be very small. The story itself can also be filmed well, as long as you focus on a small place, but the ambition of the story wants to build yourself into a complex script. The set of complex narratives is not focused on portraying personal inner contradictions. , And the emotional development between people, make this story seem more boring. In contrast, "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" has at least one human conflict with society: a weapon launcher that concerns all mankind. With this alone, the overall feeling of the plot is much better than "Phantom". Although "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" also has other problems.

From the perspective of photography, lighting, art props, etc., it basically doesn't seem to exist, which is good for emotions, but it's a little worse for the assistance of character creation. In the indoor scene of the villa in the movie, there was a sudden feeling that the scene was very empty. A TV drama had a sense of sight. Even in the commercial film, this part was regarded as a place where the art was not carefully done.

In terms of the subject, in fact, the last sacrifice and video recording were quite wonderful. In fact, if the story does not stop at gun battles and fights with doctors back and forth, but instead focuses on the emotional portrayal and evolution of the characters’ inner world, this film may become a very good film and a good concept, but The script and the director drowned its story together. The reason for the submergence should be considering the need for commercial elements such as shootouts, car chases, etc., so it may not be the earliest scriptwriter’s pot, but both the adaptor and the director have to memorize...

Muyu’s fully subjective rating
Director 6

has a good theme, but it doesn’t focus on the theme 6. The

overall review 5.5
may not look at the
actual title of the film. It is quite deliberate. Self/Less assumes that there is a space in the middle. If it is literally translated, it is not me.
But in the end, the protagonist’s choice has become Selfless, reflecting the theme
, the title is probably the highlight of this film
