The victory of narrative subject and angle setting

Keanu Reeves' "The Clone" is unassuming and innovative in that it is far more reasonable and more refined than his own company's "Space Traveler". This should not be a TV/film thinking like JJ Abrams or [Black Mirror] but a triumph of narrative subject and angle setting. What used to be big corporations and evil scientists turned into garage entrepreneurs with all sorts of portable devices as if people could actually be cloned out of a garage or basement. If Japan shoots in the same way, the cloned child might be able to crawl out of the phone screen. Keanu Reeves has both the characteristics of a classic Hollywood actor and a new century otaku, regardless of whether he is fat or not De's actors are more prominent when they play against each other. Levi's own thoughts about his relatives may be the biggest driving force of the whole film or the whole project. Instead of getting out of control, it has achieved a unique temperament. [Three Updates] Li Liming's character is profiled, you can hardly imagine that if there is no supporting actor's discovery perspective, his and his wife's scenes can fill one-third of the length of the film. The two-phase comparison can fully show the [Clone] drama. The suspense points of similar themes in the past have been slightly opened, but a systematic whole can be laid out. Of course, ethically speaking, this film is more like an imaginary story woven in the mind of a cult fan with a filter from the perspective of the leader.

    I watched it at the Shanghai Film Cinema in Bingu Square opposite the library in Changning District. It is quite rare to be released in China nearly two months earlier than in the United States. Starring Keanu Reeves, so went to see it. But I noticed that there were also China and Puerto Rico in the production area, so I didn't have much hope at first. Not as good-looking as Chappie (2015). First of all, the sci-fi concept in the film has been rotten, and secondly, the plot is not good, and the villain's behavior is simply unreasonable. If I were him, I would definitely sign a non-disclosure agreement with Keanu, protect his family well, give them the best health monitoring and regular treatment, so that Keanu can work for the company without any worries. The downside is that the ending is predictable. Also in the first 15 minutes of the video, I clearly heard my inner voice: "Dead! They are all-- dead!"

    For B-level production, it's acceptable. In fact, the capacity of this script is more suitable for making a one-hour drama of the black mirror type. The first half is loose but the details are not sloppy. Both the actor's performance and the content show more ethical conflicts. Although the tempo increased in the second half, it was obviously impossible to make up. In fact, duplicating the brain and cloning are both clichés, and being able to delete real memories at will is the most thought-provoking part of the film, and the director always feels that it is to avoid the importance when he understates it. If this part can be expanded to replace the clichés of the second half, the movie should be able to take another step.
