Some people feel that the first half of the film is too much laid out. In fact, such complaints are not uncommon in the comments of various films. It is absolutely important to pave the way for it. Even when I watch movies now, especially all kinds of horror movies, I enjoy the front paving part even more than the final climax. .
Going back to the freak movie, the front is excellent. It peels off the real veil of this world layer by layer like an onion, gives you a little bit of information, and also tears away the little girl’s fantasy about this world. It is because of the good preparation in front that the audience can better substitute the persecuted superpower perspective (I think this film is obviously speaking from the standpoint of superpowers. The destruction of Dallas only gave a picture on TV. Only give the background of the contradiction between humans and superpowers, and never take up more space to talk about human suffering), will accept the blackening of the little girl; it is with the previous large space on how Henry has such a powerful super In the case of her ability, she has been pursuing a retreat and hiding policy to protect her daughter's description. Only when her last daughter Chloe broke out, she felt that she didn't need to be protected, and the mother and stepmother would be rampant when she rescued her. .
Due to the limited space of a movie, there is only so much information that can be conveyed. The director wisely did not choose to put too many things in, such as discussing the coexistence of ordinary people and super-powered people (Xman, the professor’s thoughts vs. Magneto) Thoughts), but simply choose to stand on one of the sides to tell a cool story that is suppressed to the extreme and finally broke out.
Can such subject matter be expanded? It is certainly possible. You can add a lot of things to it. Superpowers can be divided into camps, and humans can be divided into camps. But do you need to expand so many things in the time of a movie? It seemed that the director didn't think it was necessary. Tell this story well and mobilize the audience's emotions. I finally saw Chloe's eyes in the arms of her Superman's mother, and I felt that the movie was complete.
This is certainly not a perfect movie, but I think this movie deserves a higher rating.
(By the way, my mother’s actor is Monica from the American TV series Silicon Valley. It’s getting more and more beautiful.)
