Although it was produced by an American director, this sci-fi musical has a very pure British atmosphere. The red-brick house, the strong British accent, and the famous punk band posters and recordings, it seems like going back in time to Derek Jia In the 70s in the works of Man and Ken Rocky, this unique sense of the times of British films is restored in stylized photography techniques. Several time-lapse photography and filter shooting scenes vividly portray the protagonist's life background and extremely excited mood. I haven’t read the novel by the original author Neil Gaiman, but this adapted screenplay successfully captures the similarities between the punk group and the aliens, and presents the two “species” in a witty and fluent manner. "The communication between the two, and then the bizarre plot of mutual affection, is the source of the whole movie's humor. I didn't expect that the codewords used by the punk and alien groups also have intersections. Although they have different meanings, the passages where the hero and the heroine each say what they can understand fascinated me. There is also the design that aliens can't digest alcohol and cause vomiting, which is exactly the same as ordinary people after a crazy party. It is really mind-blowing and full of humor. And the way the parents of the two disciplines their children, whether it is the "swallowing" of aliens or the laissez-faire of punk style, are quite intriguing, making the climax of the plot suddenly full of realistic metaphors. Of course, the most exciting part of the film is punk music. Although I am not a fan of punk music, the classic repertoire throughout the film is exciting and joyful. The hero and the heroine perform the best on stage. The superb animation effects are integrated with the artistic conception in the lyrics, even though this is purely a MV. Shooting technique. Nicole Kidman didn’t make many appearances, but captured the audience with her exaggerated punk godmother look and humorous interpretation. The heroine Elle Fanning’s appearance has many similarities with aliens. The performance in "Devil" is comparable, and the biggest failure seems to be the male protagonist. He doesn't feel the violent punk temperament and spirit in him, and he is more like a gentle and weak boy next door, with a greatly reduced effect.
