A thriller with a very friendly visual experience

emmmm... I was deceived by the title and introduction. What about the film about the fall of a top Hollywood star? I'm still too naive. David Cronenberg deserves to be a horror artist, who can tell a story with a glamorous background so creepy. I finally understand why I, who has always loved horror movies, have been evasive of his famous work "The Fly". Enough childhood shadow! Fortunately, this "Star Atlas" is visually very friendly to the audience, so it's easier to accept the mental pressure after watching it. Oh, at the end, the blood dripping on the screen when looking up at the camera still makes people cling to their hands and toes tightly. I don't understand why this film has a bad reputation. In my opinion, it is a perfect score for the story, the screen, the actors, the acting, and the horror index. The various characters are wrapped in noble and gorgeous appearances, and they don't mind showing each other's filthyness and depravity. The gods talk pretending to be graceful and uncontrollable thrillers.

I don’t like to watch movies with personal preferences, so I can quietly immerse myself in the film, and I can always see the director’s intention. I think this is the fun of watching movies. Sometimes what a director wants to express in a movie is just an artistic conception, and he doesn't need to pay so much attention to the plot of the story. As long as he expresses what he wants to express clearly, it is a good film for me. Although there is no analogy, I think Zhang Yimou's "Hero" is very good, and Chen Kaige's "Promise" is a meaning. In fact, the story of this film is also very easy to understand. The main idea is that a pair of siblings got married without knowing it, and the result of inbreeding was to give birth to two mentally ill children. Then the children are affected by the encounters of some gods and gods and have to repeat the same mistakes, in which every character is miserable.

Oh, except for the handsome driver, the handsome driver is very good. He has a good time and has a lot of affair. He is almost indifferent to other neurotic characters. Maybe it is a kind person who has a good return? Haha. Just kidding.

Pattinson's vision for film selection is truly amazing, and time has proved this. During this period of time, he watched a bunch of movies, and he was really surprised (in every sense), and he hadn't missed it. According to his humility, he couldn't shoot "Batman" and went to the sea to make an A film. But to be reasonable, is he making these literary and artistic films very different from the A films? Probably only his dew point is not very thorough [Tan Shou]
