Seeing Keanu on the big screen for the first time, it's really not fair and just...

I am a loving person. Although there have been many walls over the years, the natal life has always been three.

The earliest are: Leslie Cheung, Depp, Keanu . Later, I became a fan of Liu Yaren, squeezed Depp out, and became: Leslie Cheung, Keanu, Liu Yaren, very stable.

Among them, Leslie Cheung and Keanu are very special to me. It is because of them that I fell in love with watching movies.

Unlike Leslie Cheung's amazing acting talent, I am more inclined to call Keanu a hard-working actor.

He's not that good at acting, but he himself has a Shakespearean melancholy, alienating, charming quality, which is a gift in some sense?

Some people describe him: God is between your eyebrows. I find it very precise. Even if the prosperous beauty is no longer there, you can still see the heroic spirit and compassion in his eyes.

Keanu Reeves, a mortal with a "god" in him, thank you for coming to the world.

The theme of the film "The Clones" is actually very simple: Neuroscientist Will lost his wife and 3 children in a car accident, and the great grief made him decide to go against the laws of nature to carry out cloning experiments to resurrect his family.

When he finally reunited with his family after overcoming many difficulties, he did not expect that the science and technology of his successful human cloning would be coveted by the big boss of the biological company, and the lives of the whole family were once again on the line...

It's really dirty and old . Especially on the first day of the successful resurrection of the family, the eyes of the wife and the irritability of the two children for no reason almost made me think it was going to be a horror movie...

The clones have their own consciousness, and then go against the routine of Keanu

However, nothing happened, it just created a chilling atmosphere for no reason.

Keanu's performance in this show isn't that great either. The scenes of carrying the bodies of family members out of the icy river water are desperate enough, but they lack the level and progression of the performance. There is no entanglement and struggle against the laws of nature, and some are a little dumb.

But it doesn't matter, it still made me cry.

Counting my fingers, I cried a total of three times in this movie.

For the first time, it was the opening scene, a shot of slowly advancing his back. Without looking at his face, I knew it was him, and the moisture in my eyes at that time was the excitement of fans seeing their idols .

The second time was when he took out the bodies of his family members one by one from the icy river, and then knelt down on the muddy bank and cried hoarsely.

To be honest, Keanu's emotions in this scene are enough, but unfortunately the acting skills lack hierarchy and progression, nor does it show the struggle and hesitation of an outstanding scientist trying to violate the principles of nature .

It seems to be just following the script, step by step.

But I still cried because I knew his past and could read the despair in his eyes without the need for lines or any body language .

If life can develop like in the movie, Keanu will resurrect many people at any cost. He really lost so much.

When I think of Will living alone in this world without his family, my heart aches, because there are people outside the play who are going through the same torment.

Crying for the third time is the end. happy ending. Will successfully rescued his family from the villain, lived happily with them on a beautiful island in the distance, and even brought back his only daughter, Zoe, who had not been resurrected before, a real family reunion.

This ending is so idealistic that if I had no feelings for Keanu, I'd be swearing.

But I liked him so much that when I saw this ending, I could only show the old aunt's smile again and again, took a deep breath, and resisted the urge to cry desperately surging up my nostrils.

He knew it was fake, but he still felt that maybe through this movie and this ending, he could be a little happier from now on.

Speaking of which, I find it seems like I haven't said anything good about this movie? But in fact, clones are better than I expected.

In view of Keanu's previous experimental films, the completion of the clone is already very high, and there are one or two points that make my eyes shine. For example, the contradiction and transformation of Will's wife Mona: believing in the supremacy of the soul but finally accepting to live as a clone.

When she was told the truth by Will, she subconsciously asked, "How could you do such a thing to us?"

I believe that at that moment, she felt offended that it was better to die as a human than to live as a clone.

But almost instantly, she forgave Will . Or rather, understood. No conflict, no argument, no long-winded persuasion.

Maybe not so moral, but human beings are emotional creatures who are willing to go to destruction for the sake of love .

Even if I could say 1,000 reasons against human cloning, I couldn't scold that Wildo who dared to revive his family.

The same goes for Mona, she knows that if it were her, no matter how much she struggled and questioned, she would make the same choice as her husband.

In other words, there was no choice at all, Will just did what everyone who had a chance to save his dead love would do, instinctively.

In addition to the movie, there was one thing that really touched me during the viewing of the movie.

Although there were not many people watching the show, there were about five or six people who didn't leave after the movie ended and stayed in their seats until the end of the film. They were probably Keanu's fans.

Otherwise, I really don't know what the reason is for them to keep a third-rate movie without easter eggs.

One of them was a little brother with a red schoolbag, about twenty-five or six years old, standing in the narrow aisle of the screening hall, staring at the screen, until Keanu's name slipped by the cast, and then he left quickly and neatly. At that time, I really wanted to give him a high five. After all, no one in my life can talk to me about Keanu...

I don't know when the next time I'll be able to see him on the big screen.

But fortunately, I have seen it, and I have no regrets.
