Broken Ring, Destroying Work (Minor Spoilers)

I wrote a film review for the first time. It
was not a good night before I went home. The newlyweds were in a bad mood in the afternoon. In the evening, I asked my sister-in-law and his fiance to have a meaty hot pot, and then ran to "Resident Evil" I went to "5" and watched this "Loop Messenger". My neck hurts after I watched it. After I went home, it all recovered, but that has nothing to do with this article.
In fact, when I bought the tickets and saw the large kappa posters of Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon, there were some clues, because we all felt that the young man was like Joseph Gordon, but a little different, because in the afternoon When looking at the old photos of my wife’s family, I admitted to the wrong person several times and doubted our cognitive ability. Then my wife and I completely ignored this last warning and entered the venue with a happy mood.

Before the official start, let's talk about Xiaojiu's makeup design
. For the first 20 minutes, I have been wondering why Joseph Gordon became so ugly in this movie? Slumped nose, flat mouth...all, it looks like the eyes are also small...When Bruce Willis appeared on the stage, I understood at once that this was a creation of magical makeup...but it was really ugly. Bruce Willis is still full of familiar men's taste, Xiao Ji is really ugly. Let’s talk about

the shortcomings of the protagonist’s character setting.
Let’s talk about Xiao Ji. His behavior in the whole film is contradictory. At the beginning, he can sell his friends for his savings, but in the end he gave up his life because of the one-night stand; he was determined to kill. Lose Bruce Willis to seal the ring. In order to preserve his wealth and professional ethics, he could risk his life and return to the city to find and kill Bruce Willis, but when he came to the farm, he quickly left everything behind. Behind his head, An Ran enjoyed a new and comfortable life. Waiting for Bruce Willis to join the net? Don't be kidding, you are too overestimating your personality charm when the other party knows you are. But having said that, for a cold-blooded killer who is assigned to a designated place to shoot a shot, whose main job is to wait and move the corpse, you can't expect him to fly away, right?

Besides, Bruce Willis, from 30 years ago, from a little embarrassment with the highest professional ethics to a mature man with the highest family, you can make a mess of what Xu Qing said, and you can say your love to her until death. , But all I saw was that you shot innocent children in order to live well. What I saw was that you were enjoying a safe life, knowing that your deadline was approaching, and you had to take your wife and children Huangquan Road as a companion. Insignificant old man. You've been the big villain for a long time!

Then there is the inconsequential plot of the plot. When
talking about light travel in time, it will involve the butterfly effect. The director also wants to create a time travel and butterfly effect in such a science fiction movie that is not very sci-fi and has no action. I was fooled by the IQ stuff, but there are so many flaws that are really unacceptable!
The friend who was betrayed by Xiao囧 escaped from his own hand 30 years later, with healthy limbs and alive, jumping over the wire wall, and hiding a barrel of guns. It’s a pity that I was caught 30 years ago with tattoos, Cutting off the nose and cutting off the fingers are trivial things, but at the end I almost turned into a stick. The director used such an ingenious design to reflect the cruelty of the underworld and avoid the bloody and cruel scenes. But please, if you He made this man an adult 30 years ago. How did he escape 30 years later? It took 15 minutes to get to the place of his death? A sound person and a stick can have a huge impact on the surroundings in 30 years, let alone a world of difference, okay?
In 2044, the underworld has already controlled the human society. The police and government are all controlled by the black hands behind the ring messenger. Why will the ring messenger be born 30 years later? They send people back to the past and kill them because they are afraid who will punish them? They are already the trinity of politics, law, and military. Except for themselves, who can punish them for killing someone? And now that you have controlled the entire city, can you build a decent palace? You can care about other people's life or death, but can you not have the underground habit so heavy that you have to set up your headquarters in a mouse hole? Don’t you forget your roots while reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness?

Vague subject
I really don’t want to believe that the producers, directors, etc., invited Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon to use such a complicated storyline, such a difficult science fiction theme, and such an insincere and small cost. , To express a theme of so-called human nature and self-sacrifice.

Joseph Gordon has been talking about defending his own rights. You can sacrifice yourself 30 years later. You can regard his behavior as professional ethics, but I think this is the absolute narrowness of his so-called self. Sex, this narrowness can also be used to explain Bruce Willis' unscrupulous and cruelty for himself, but at the last moment, he saw a murdered mother, a lonely and angry child, and prompted him to turn his gun and kill himself? Is this change too fast and too big? Will the price of blasting one's right hand be smaller and achieve the same goal?

If 30 years later, if I did not kill the rainmaker’s mother, then there would be no rainmaker. If there were no rainmaker, the ring messengers would also not be collectively sealed. Then is his death? Let this cruel career continue?

Or some people say that there is no rainmaker, the world will be better~ Yes, in the film in Bruce Willis's memory, there is a TV interview about how cruel the rainmaker is. Regardless of whether it is far-fetched or not, even if there is no rainmaker, the ring messenger organization still exists, still has a leader, and still operates normally.

So forgive me for my blindness, his death is not only unreasonable, but also meaningless.

In repeating the above question, what is the purpose of the director and producer?

Looper quotes

  • Older Joe: This is a piece of indentifying information on the Rainmaker. He's here. He lives here now. In this county. And I'm gonna use this to find him. And I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna stop him from killing my wife.

    Joe: Fuck you. And your wife. None of this concerns me.

    Older Joe: This is gonna happen...

    Joe: It happened to you. It doesn't have to happen to me. You got a picture right there in my watch? Let me see. Show me the picture. As soon as I see her, I walk away. I'll fucking marry someone else. Promise. So when I see that picture, that fog inside your brain should just swallow up all the memories, right? She'll be gone. If you give her up, she'll be safe.

    Older Joe: Give her up?

    Joe: Yeah, give her up. You're the one who got her killed. She never meets you, she's safe.

    Older Joe: You don't understand. We don't have to give her up. I'm not gonna give her up. I'm gonna save her.

  • Joe: There's a reason we're called loopers. When we sign up for this job, taking out the future's garbage, we also agree to a very specific proviso. Time travel in the future is so illegal, that when our employers want to close our contracts, they'll also want to erase any trace of their relationship with us ever existing. So if we're still alive 30 years from now, they'll find our older self, zap him back to us, and we'll kill him like any other job. This is called closing your loop. Eh, you get a golden payday, you get a handshake, and you get released from your contract. Enjoy the next 30 years. This job doesn't tend to attract the most forward-thinking people.
