From the beginning of the film, Emma entered the Circle company, until the middle part, the film tried to expand and explored many issues. Including modern technology, the Internet, personal privacy, laws and so on. However, it is a pity that in the end, it did not finish well, and the expansion did not close. The screenwriter's skill and the depth of the script still failed to reach the level that the film originally intended.
Let me talk about the script first. First of all, Emma's interview process when she entered Corcle was too sloppy, and she couldn't help but directly give me the illusion that "she has a background". Or is it that the interview at a technology company in the not-too-distant future is just a few words to get to know you as a candidate? Ignore this little abruptness for the time being. The scene that impressed me was that Emma was carefully "cross-examined" by two employees during her work. Emma showed some fear and confusion of her own at this time. This paragraph should be understood as Emma's disgust with surveillance. The foreshadowing, including the shock and dissatisfaction that he showed when he learned that he drank the sensor later. But when he learned that the company could help her father treat the disease, Emma suddenly expressed her gratitude to Circle. Isn't there any contradictory inner drama here? In addition, at the party, colleagues told her that she was surprised when the sensor was implanted in the child's bones, and so on. All of these foreshadowing were vanished in an instant. Especially after Emma fell into the water, he immediately switched to the Circle camp. This scene feels like it is forced to insert, just to make Emma "abandon the dark and cast the light."
After that, what was still very abrupt was her daily happy live broadcast emotions after making herself transparent, and even boldly proposed to promote registration account legislation at the meeting. It seems to be brainwashed. In addition, the first half of Karen's character looks like Emma who was brainwashed in the second half, but the second half suddenly collapsed unkempt. May I ask whether the reason is because I saw my friend climbed higher than me, or my conscience found that I was tired of being monitored? This is also very strange. In the end, the image of the company president played by Tom Hanks is very similar to that of Silicon Valley bosses, but "thanks to" the collapse of the script, this should have been portrayed as a control freak who wants to monitor everyone from the beginning, but most of the time They are all playing the role of a dream entrepreneur who is working hard to run the company without even realizing that he has touched the bottom line of ethics. So when I was finally betrayed by Emma, my heart felt sorry for Hanks for a second.
At the end of the film, I don’t know why. Emma reveals the company’s secrets, yet accepts the monitored world peacefully? So where is the awakening of people? In the end, giving me a secret smile to the camera, what kind of trouble is it? Hey...
Oh, and passers-by seem to be robots without self-thinking. Except for Ty and Emma’s parents, there is also a poor boy next door who had the idea of escaping from surveillance and realizing that this is wrong. Everyone will always be "this is great." Ah!" "It's a revolution!" expression. Every Dream Friday watched me embarrassed and I was about to commit cancer...
Let's talk about acting. Emma has been trying different types of roles, but her acting skills really need to be improved. Especially in the comparison of Tom Hanks, some emotional transitions are not delicate and a little embarrassing. Hanks is still acting like something, I can only say that the script pits two big stars
