Let’s talk about the movie "Shadow in the Clouds" today.
The title is Shadow In The Cloud (2020), alias Fatal Skyline (Taiwan) / Shadow in the Clouds.
The super-killer Chloe Moretz went to heaven this time, and starred in a horror story of a battle against Japanese soldiers, monsters, and perverts at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Chloe Moretz played the air force captain Maude Garrett. She boarded a B-17 bomber with classified documents. She had to follow the plane to the destination. Dangers and strange incidents occurred along the way. .
Various elements are mixed in the film, from fighting the Japanese devils in World War II, to fighting monsters at a height of 10,000 meters, to the pursuit of free love and women's equality. The film is like a collection of magical films.
If you look at "Shadow in the Clouds" with normal logic, it is estimated that the audience will feel very embarrassed, and they can even deduct a villa on the spot.
But if you change your expectations and regard this film as an aerial B-level film, then the viewing experience will immediately be greatly improved.
There are many magical fragments in the film. If it is marked with the omnipotent Indian film, "Shadow in the Clouds" will also have the power to fight.
I think the best part of the whole film is Chloe Moretz picking up a plane with his bare hands. I was frightened to see this section, and I immediately had a new experience after the angle of view was rotated.
Although I know that these are special effects and fakes, the film is extremely realistic, giving people an immersive sense of weightlessness and crisis.
In addition, Chloe Moretz fell out of the cabin and returned for a while, comparable to jumping at Newton's grave.
The other end jammed the flight control surface to force the aircraft to dive, and then reverse the aircraft to climb, which is exactly the same as the processing method in "Flight" (Flight, 2012).
There are a lot of Chloe Moretz features in the film, and the audience can experience her acting skills up close.
To be honest, being able to express so many emotions and content in a small confined space is indeed very powerful.
The opening animation of "Shadow in the Clouds" is adapted from Private Snafu. This is a series of short teaching films for adults, aiming to educate conscripts about military discretion, health, combat readiness and daily life.
Teaching short films were produced from 1943 to 1945, and since they were not intended to be made public, they are not subject to censorship.
The characters in the short film come from the military acronym "Situation Normal All Fucked Up" (Situation Normal All Fucked Up).
"Shadow in the Clouds" occupies the main part of the show is a horrible elf.
In fact, this plot appeared in "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" (1963), when a passenger saw a creature on the wing of an airplane, but no one believed him.
The elves in "Shadows in the Clouds" resemble monkeys, but they are often referred to as rodents, but in terms of film performance, they are more like giant bats.
Before the film was shot, screenwriter Max Landis was accused of sexual harassment. So director Roseanne Leung rewrote the original script extensively before production.
After rewriting the script, both the director and the lead actor said that the film was completely at a distance from the original script, but after watching the film, Landis claimed that about 90% to 95% of the content was still on his script.
"Shadows in the Clouds" filmed a strange story in the air. On the other hand, it pays tribute to the female air force pilots during World War II.
During World War II, the US Air Force created the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP).
From single-engine to multi-engine aircraft, from non-combat transport and observation aircraft, to fighters and bombers, including B-17, B-26 and B-29 bombers, these female pilots fly more than 1,100 military aircraft.
Major General Henry "Harp" Arnold, commander of the Army Aviation Corps, said that he was not sure whether "a girl could control the B-17 bomber in severe weather." Later he admitted that he was wrong, and he said: "Now, In 1944, women could fly just like any man!"
In the film, a crew member tells Maude Garrett that she has no power on their B-17 bomber because she is an "auxiliary civilian."
In this regard, Maude retorted: "Correct, I am a flying officer."
In fact, the crew is correct, because the members of the Female Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) are indeed civilians and do not have the authority to command military personnel.
