"Watsons" Miss Emma Watson ( Emma Watson ) and "Old Opera Bone" Tom Hanks ( Tom Hanks ) collaborated on a film " The Circle " ( The Circle ). The film’s premiere ceremony was held on April 28th, North American time, at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York . But this film that revolves around the Internet and social is a plot + science fiction + horror movie, and it's still full of highlights.
However, at the time of writing, the scores of the Internet film review sites have been released, and Rotten Tomatoes is as low as 25%.
In March of this year, Miss Watsons brought "Beauty and the Beast" adapted from Disney's live-action animation , and this time she and Hanks had a rivalry. Does Emma's performance this time make people's eyes bright? Regarding the role, Emma said: “Every time I take on a role, someone always compares this role with Hermione. This is why I like to protect my personal privacy, because in this way I can maximize my work. good."
"Circle" the film adaptation of Dave Eggers ( Dave eggers model in laboratory ) of the novel of the same name.
The novel tells of a man named Mae Holland 's 20-year-old female student of the story.
She entered a company called "Circle". The company has two famous sayings: "SECRETS ARE LIES" ( SECRETS ARE LIES ) and "Privacy IS THEFT " ( PRIVACY IS THEFT ). Everyone’s past can be dug out, and people are exposed to cameras without privacy, and everything is monitored.
In order to close the company's most senior (in fact, three men), she accepted the rules of the game, exactly like the "reality show" to show themselves, even to the toilet , if the screen has been fixed, no sound, someone asked if she Ann good.
Mae does play better, but it also gets deeper and deeper...
Internet technology has brought great convenience to our lives. If these technology companies have bad ideas and monitor everyone's lives, what kind of situation will we encounter? In fact, there are also before such movies a lot, including the "Devil's Advocate" ( at The Devil's Advocate ), "007 Tomorrow Never Dies" ( Tomorrow Never Dies ), "Hackers" ( Hackers ), "better now" ( at The Spectacular Now ) , " The Money Pit " ( The Money Pit ), "Sensual Game" ( Existenz ) and so on. It is said that some scenes in the movie "Circle" are also related to these movies.
What do the two protagonists think about Internet technology?
Emma Watson In an interview with "Interview" ( Interview ) fashion magazine in an exclusive interview, said: "I like social media, I liked it and bring people together, but if misused, it will be very dangerous that we need. Make sure that it is humans who use technology, and that technology cannot be used to counteract humanity. "
And Tom Hanks plays the big technology boss who loves to monitor. He joked in a recent film promotion that he imitated Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey ( Jack Dorsey ).
So what exactly is this movie?
Wmuk broadcast channel of James Sanford on the " " circle. "The film is a cautionary tale, rather than simply a horror film ," wrote the title of the latest film critic. Mr. Zhizhi will translate for you to see if this movie looks good or not.
The following content is translated from the Wmuk.org film review on April 27, 2017. The author is James Sanford and the copyright belongs to him.
Imagine that all Internet social companies have merged, including Google, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram . Virtual network giants in their way to dominate the world , this is the director James Pang Suote ( James Ponsoldt ) adaptation of the best-selling novel by Dave Eggers's "circle" of the movie.
Circle Company is trying to reduce the trouble in online use of the Internet, such as remembering dozens of different passwords. In the circle, with the real you ( TrueYou ) account , you can get along all the sites that do not need one to log in.
"The noise of the Internet makes everything elegant." Mae Holland said that this girl had just been hired by the circle company and she was loyal to the company's leadership. This role is played by Emma Watson. The girl who came out of the "Harry Potter Series" has officially embarked on the journey of the female number one. In the beginning, she worked in a water supply company with very low income. Mae could not believe my luck so good, with the help of a good friend of Annie by Karen Gillan ( Karen Gillan plays), the company enters the circle to get a job.
Mae is fascinated by the circle headquarters. The whole building style resembles the fashionable Shangri-La , and there are artistic working experiment centers, bocce courts, vegetarian restaurants and spacious pavilions . This pavilion can also accommodate an amateur concert.
Mae admires the company's founder Eamon Bailey like a star, played by Tom Hanks. The founder was originally a scruffy surfer, but now he has become a master.
He presided over staff meetings like the Internet version of "The Wizard of Oz . " One of Circle's principles is "sharing is caring" , but Mae gradually discovered that it is not allowed to share too much.
If this movie were made 20 years ago, it would definitely be regarded as a classic sci-fi narrative movie, which is fascinating. But now it seems that the story inside is very consistent with reality. Social media has an insatiable appetite. Millions of people have written so many articles. These articles contain everything they think, read, feel, eat, drink, wear, and imagine.
When Mae is caught in the relentless communication in the circle, we can see the rapidly changing electronic bubbles surrounding her . These bubbles are the expressions, observations, and even nonsense of those who are fascinated by the circle network. These people and Mae are already closely linked.
When Mae decided to participate in a project called "Full Transparency" of the company, she chose to be exposed to all the small cameras, anytime, anywhere. ( What we call the Internet "reality show" )
I remember in 1998, see Jim Carrey that the Department of "The Truman Show" ( at The Truman Show ), everyone agrees that their lives become such a concept entertainment of others is very strange and far-fetched. Time has long changed this. However, stripped of science and technology, the film "circle" and 1970's the kind of paranoid movie is no different, such as 1973 's "Western World" ( Westworld ), 1975 Nian 's "Stepford Wives" ( at The Stepford Wives ), or 1990 is the kind of evil big business movies, such as 1993 's "the Firm" ( at the Firm ) , "Rising Sun" ( Rising Sun ).
Mae's passion for work finally brought her into contact with the boss's intentions. She met a man named Ty boy, the boy was once a boy genius by John Boye Jia ( John Boyega played). The boy haunted the underground passage of the circle company, spreading warning-like remarks about the company's ultimate purpose .
Although director Ponsotte created an unsettling virtual Internet atmosphere and portrayed a charming female character, this movie is not a mature, finger-biting horror film. Formerly the novel spent a lot of ink in some of the things to do online satire Mae, lost tension. The movie wisely chooses the exciting and tense plot in the book. Even if it has a complete and transcendent ending, this movie still cannot make you feel the panic that the warning story can bring to you. The movie is entertaining, gentle, and fascinating.
Don't blame Miss Watsons, she has transformed from a cute child star to a talented and amiable actress. Don't blame Tom Hanks, he was so professional that he played his role well. Ge Lunni Headley ( Glenne Headly ) and his late Bill Paxton ( Bill Paxton ) played Mae's parents, who support her, to protect themselves not to be concerned about the world. Boyega has done what this character should do, although the scene is much less than in the novel.
Movies will make you question: Why do we spend a lot of time every day on showing our lives? Why do we invite strangers to comment or criticize our choices? Tom Hanks’s character Eamon said to Mae: “Only lying by ourselves will get us into trouble.” So too much truth and frankness will also make us feel dangerous? Do we need or deserve to know each other?
When Mae argues that knowledge is a basic human right, it seems that privacy should be the same. Unfortunately, we are exposed to the world of the World Wide Web ( World Wide Web below), this idea may be like dial-up modem as obsolete.
