After reading Looper, I was still a little excited, so I wrote a few words quickly.
If Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wraps a woman's independent and awakened Western values with oriental martial arts films, the circulatory uses Hollywood, science fiction themes and time travel to wrap up one or even several more oriental philosophical paradoxes.
In this movie, there is no American superhero, no savior. Salvation comes from oneself, not from others. This is not only a Hollywood movie with Chinese actors and scenes in China, it is clearly a pioneering work of science fiction that challenges the mainstream Hollywood superhero system with Chinese thinking and theme values.
What Rian Johnson weaves in the meticulous screenwriter is a story of self-confrontation, but the connotation and reason of this self-confrontation are not self-determined. One is love and the other is family affection. This is simply the most literary presentation of science fiction.
I guess the director is a boring man.
1. Regarding a dead
person must die. Little Joe doesn't care about killing himself, because then he at least knows that he can have an inexhaustible life of 30 years. Rather than waiting for that day in the red dust for no apparent reason, it is better to draw an end to one's life under a certain big sun 30 years ago.
Happy from now on.
What's more, if you don't die 30 years later, you die now.
Old Joe thought so too, so when a gun-riding underworld broke into his house and prepared to put on him a headgear, put on a prison uniform and send him back in the past, he seemed calm and calm.
Since then.
What's more, he has enjoyed everything in the world, luxury, beauty and loneliness, and he died without regrets.
Who are we afraid of death? After all, no living person knows how it feels to die.
However, we are all afraid of the death of people around us. As far away as classmates and friends, as near as parents and lovers, the dead one is relaxed and just lie down. The one who is alive has since been locked in emotion by death.
2. The
correspondence between salvation and memory is nothing more than a hunch. The direction of time goes all the way forward, and we can only feel that way. Our interaction with the world is always after it happens. Act first, then comprehend, not reverse.
Thirty years later, the old Joe clearly knew that what he wanted was not gold bars or beauties, or even his own life. But no matter how he fights and jumps, he can't let the little Joe of 30 years ago understand this.
Except for what I ate when I ordered, I still couldn't move. These were already two souls in the same body.
How much can one sacrifice for salvation?
He wants to pick it up again. In the past 30 years, he has given up killing, even facing a child. Is this a metaphor, or is it ironic?
Where is the beginning of a circle? Where can this all end?
At the end, I almost blurted out. Isn't this the cause and effect that the Chinese have been talking about? How can a foreigner take pictures of this! Isn’t it the most familiar, the most awe-inspiring, the most unspeakable, and the least knowing how to explain the cause and effect of translation to foreigners?
Just one step away. Fortunately, there is Xu Qing, otherwise Hollywood will take the lead.
3. Regarding the children, one of the
three children born at the same time will become a hero who will call the wind and rain in 30 years. Whoops, isn't it I guess I guess I guess I guess. The problem is, since you don't want a big hero to appear, then these three children must die.
I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
Cao Cao did this for big things, and old Joe did it only for her wife. Love seems so moving and so tragic at this moment.
When the old Joe opened his pocket watch and saw the photo of his wife, he thought of the beautiful and sinful things in front of him. Hesitating in the heavy rain, human nature is struggling and tangled at this moment. The scriptwriter and director of Mensao shows here the moral paradox of his thinking.
Killing, in order to save people. Destroy, in order to build.
Is it justice?
Sin, return to sin.
Beauty, return to beauty.
4. Regarding actors,
science fiction subjects are always the world of male actors. This is eternal truth. The combination of old cloth and Xiao囧 is still powerful enough. It's a pity that Xiao囧 was a bit miserable for plastic surgery.
It is estimated that it is to create a sense of desolation and coldness in the future world, and the scenes are quite "road films". There are a few empty shots that are a bit surging. Especially when I saw a large cornfield, I thought to myself that Man Sao male grew up watching the fifth generation.
Everyone is a little unkempt, the second assistant lady of the devil is especially dirty. Xu Qing's appearances are still beautiful and babbling. When it comes to who said that China was already the center of the world at that time, she should be more glamorous. She smiled at the camera, which was quite shocking. The English of the invisible sister is okay, but only a few words, the roar flashed by. Her role is equivalent to the two children in Inception. Although there are not many scenes, the scenes are very important.
It is also worth mentioning that there is actually a golden supporting actor who is the host of the "News Room". I recognized it after watching a few scenes. Neither the trailer nor the promotion was introduced, so I was a little surprised.
———————— Spoiler Dividing Line———————
You have to watch it yourself.
1. What is a little puzzled is the sex scene between Xiao Jiao and the second assistant. I don't know what the director thinks. My only defense can only say that after the sex scene, the second assistant confided to Xiao Jiao about her special abilities. This background knowledge can be known without going to bed!
2. There are a few extremely ambitious action scenes, I discovered that, in fact, you don't have to work hard for the whole film, just work hard for a few good shots and the audience can remember them. What I remember is the slow motion of Xiao囧 falling down the stairs, and the disappearing fingers one by one. . . Quite frightening.
3. The child’s super power part, I thought it could be more powerful, I don’t know if it has something to do with the budget, the part where the special effects are realized. . . Well, after all, we all grew up watching blockbusters, you know.
