Although the more than 100 minutes of watching the movie did not make me yawn or go to the toilet, it also made me feel boring, powerless and even pale. In fact, the whole film is not lacking in bright spots, a large number of eye-catching CG pictures, innovative world view settings, beautiful and symmetrical mountains, oceans and sky... But all of this is set in a technical difficulty. Under the framework of the story of Bai Fumei's pursuit of amnesia in a poor house, there is nothing new in the storytelling, and the character creation is weak. In my opinion, it still seems to be anticlimactic, so everything before is in vain. After watching the whole film, only a few parts left a deep impression on me. At the beginning, there is a creative introduction to the world view and the life experience of the hero. In the middle part, the hero jumps from the upper world into the lower world. Timothy Spall, who plays the supporting role Bob (Timothy Spall)'s performance, and at most the Chinese ending credits that sound at the end, that's all (but seriously, every frame is beautiful).
It is worth mentioning that the moment I saw the male protagonist walk out of the dilapidated building, I don’t know why, the feeling was actually the same as the headless man in the short film "L'homme sans tête" (L'homme sans tête) I watched before. The feeling of walking out of the house and onto the street is surprisingly similar to me. Now I know that both films are directed by the same director, Juan Diego Solanas. After knowing who the director is, I also seem to understand. Order something, this director-writer guy is slacking off. The dilapidated, factory-like city in "The Man Without a Head", the male protagonist's dark bedroom with only one slanted window, the male and female protagonists meeting in a bar, and finally pursuing the heroine's successful ending, even if it is an airship in the air, these elements The directors have been copied one by one in "Inverse World", but they are just magnified and refined. Fans can't help but complain about this, saying that the director just told a short story after ruining a great idea. Yes, this director is being lazy. The whole movie is just a simple love story. In order to attract money, he does not hesitate to use a large number of CG special effects to pile it up. However, the domestic audience is also generous and accepts it all. China The box office reached more than 70 million yuan, which is 170 times that of the US box office. It seems that China is really not bad. But it also reflects a phenomenon in the Chinese film market from the side. Chinese movie fans are irresistible to Hollywood movies with many special effects and large scenes. The scores and evaluations are not that high, and there are still fans flocking to the theater to watch, which reminds me of this year's "Fuchun Mountain Residence", which really has topics, features, and highlights, then there are The market has nothing to do with the movie itself, Chinese movie fans are the best earners, there is no one.
Regarding this movie, there are also many fans who are endlessly discussing various bugs and various settings that go against common sense (in a moment I remembered Sheldon discussing the theory that Superman caught the falling heroine and broke into three parts...), these also have It may be one of the reasons for the poor reputation of the film, but I want to say that although art comes from life, you really shouldn't think too much about some movies, or you will lose. Maybe the director was lazy and didn't even think about these details?
