"Super Titan" (2018) The Titan, a science fiction film co-produced by the United Kingdom, Spain, and the United States, directed by Lenat Love, Sam Worthington, Taylor Schilling, Natalie Emmanuel Starring. Tell the story of a human body modification plan out of control.
"Super Titans" I can only give 4 points, because the film is as dull as the introduction above, and boring than water.
Although the film is terrible, the male lead still has a good resume. Sam Worthington is the male lead in "Avatar" and has acted in blockbuster films such as "War of the Gods" and "Hacksaw Ridge".
Taylor Schilling, who plays the protagonist’s wife, is also the one who has starred in such a good movie as "Escape from Tehran." Natalie Emmanuel is also the girl next to Dragon Mother in "Game of Thrones" and an actor in the "Fast and Furious" series. Her explosive hair is very iconic.
With these few actors who are not top-notch but capable of joining, why is the film so bad? The director of the pot can't get rid of the relationship.
"Super Titans" director Linate Ruff, this is his first deployment of director work, before he was an assistant director, assistant director work. Therefore, from the overall point of view of the film, the framework and starting point are good, but the result was a collapse. Among them, there are 3 highlights that are not captured. If you make good use of it, the film can achieve a passing score.
First: personal interest or collective interest
The start of "Super Titans" is actually the same as many sci-fi blockbusters. The PPT is on, and the result is: human wars have left the earth riddled with holes and cannot survive. We have to immigrate to space. Where do we go? Titans. But after going there, the oxygen content on Titan is only 5%, and humans have adapted to life on the earth with 20% oxygen content. After going to Titan, the organs are not adapted to it. Therefore, human experiments are needed to cultivate and adapt to living outside with 5% oxygen content. People, go to investigate first. So, the male lead came out.
From the beginning, we can guess the routine. Going to Titan will definitely cause an accident. 100%. What's more, there are many outstanding people trained with the male protagonist, German soldiers, astronauts, and other elites from various countries, and Some people are neurotic, some have abnormal personalities... All the details are also in place, making you vaguely guess that in the later experiments, I am afraid that someone will mutate, or someone will blacken and kill teammates after getting on the Titan!
You see, isn't this a common routine in space science fiction movies? Everyone was looking forward to the development of the plot. Suddenly, the director started adding water.
In the film, the protagonist and the second female are soaking in the pool to hold their breath. Similarly, the director also fills the film with water. A lot of it is training, testing plots, and even added two scenes for the male lead and the female two to be CP. What kind of trouble is this, and you are not a Chinese director. What kind of love triangle do you learn?
It wasn't until three-quarters of the film that the teammate died in the experiment, and the male protagonist shed his skin, and the female protagonist began to perceive something wrong and rebelled against the scientist's experiment. However, under the persuasion of scientists and brainwashing the great consciousness of achieving mankind at the expense of her individual, she agreed to continue the experiment and turned her husband into a monster.
It is precisely this point that is the most commendable and has been overlooked.
As a wife, do you abandon your husband and never meet again and turn him into a monster to survive on Titan, or leave your husband to give your children and yourself a home, and let the military find someone else to experiment? The wife is afraid that there will be a selfish side. As a mother, she wants to give her children a complete home.
The heroine in the film also acts as a preacher when chatting with neighboring women, persuading women to want to start and support men to experiment, "and you came here with him because you love him." The result At night, I saw the man in her family turned into a monster and killed the woman.
The selfishness of human nature and the complexity of emotions are used by the director as a film. If there is no emotion in the character, where does the plot come from?
Second: the attitude of the hero
If the wife's attitude is to win the sympathy of the audience, then the male protagonist's attitude is a selfish and great sacrifice, with a sense of tragic and heroic.
In the movie "Super Titans", the male protagonist actively participated in the experiment at the beginning. When he found out that he had a physical problem, instead of doubting the military, he just let it go and asked why.
Even when his wife was firmly opposed to continuing the experiment, he did not speak, and looked at his wife and the scientists, and still accepted the continued experiment. At this point, as a perspective to sacrifice for the country and the world, no one has set up an image at all.
As a husband, he didn't show any attributes of a husband other than wanting to hey. As a father, there is hardly anything with a son.
The overall performance of the male protagonist’s personality is like an idealist who regards experimentation as a dream of this life and is immersed in pleasure, life? Sorry, I want to find a daughter-in-law, son? No need, anything else, no need, I will mutate.
When the male protagonist does not have the fetters of earthly feelings, he will not face the choice of sacrificing for the world or leaving for his wife and son. There will be no guilt or feelings. The audience cannot sympathize with the male protagonist and admire the tragic and strong without feelings. They do not agree with the logic of the story.
When the male protagonist turned into a trapeze and danced ballet in the sky all over the Titans, I couldn't laugh anymore. It was not sad at all, really.
Third: the attitude of scientists
As a scientist, I lied to so many families and so many outstanding soldiers, let them participate in the experiment, and finally died clean. Are you guilty?
How did he face the mother and children who stayed behind, and how did he explain it? How to face their eyes and question, will they have nightmares?
Facing the question of the heroine, the scientist touched the heroine by casually saying a few big words. Even if the plot is placed on a woman who has never gone to school, she would not agree, let alone the heroine is also a scientist. It can be done with a tone of breath that makes people think that this thing is funny in itself, so what's the use of the plot extended from this, even if you cry too sadly?
After the male protagonist mutated, he became a public enemy of the whole people inexplicably. Scientists had to kill him. Later, the plot changed forcibly. The scientist's personal settings are almost completely destroyed.
The above three places that should have become bright spots were eliminated by the director. The whole film was boring and the subtitles were coming out. The male lead flew to the sky. If you didn't look carefully, you thought it was LG from the film company. It is said that there is also "Super Titans 2", let me go to you, you bad old man is very bad.
