Finished watching the 2017 "The Forgotten Records of Phoenix" sci-fi pseudo-documentary
"Prototype of true events": Between 8 pm and 10 pm on March 13, 1997, about 700 people in Phoenix, Arizona and nearby areas saw five V-shaped structures above the southern mountains of Phoenix. The white luminous dots fly slowly...
The biggest charm of this film and one of my personal favorites is that it is based on realistic elements and real events for artistic processing and adaptation; related pseudo-documentaries and other film and television works are as follows ↓
"X-Files 1993", "Diyatrov Incident 2013", "Chernobyl Diaries 2012", "The Catacombs of Paris 2014", "Kunchi Rock 2018"...
Especially "Alien (Prometheus)" This film has many main connotations about this work, the inner core of aliens and gods. What’s more worth mentioning is that the producer of this film is the famous Ridley Scott.
UFO film and television works in the form of pseudo-documentary are rare. According to my memory, the last videotape of "Deadly Videotape 2" I watched not long ago is about alien forces. But after watching Phoenix, my overall impression is even more than that of Fatal 2! The audiovisual impressions of the two are the same, but the fatal 2 defeat lies in the fact that the alien deity is fully revealed. Unlike the latter, it is very hidden and powerful, and also has mysterious mythology... The taste of the film is still unknown and mysterious. Sulu" taste. This is the point that pokes me the most!
The one that pokes me more is similar to the 2005 "War of the World" disaster sci-fi film directed by Spielberg! Before I watched Fatal 2, I felt very similar, but this time I felt very similar! But I am not disappointed, but the yuppie excited! After all, World War is the white moonlight of my science fiction + alien invasion movie! His position in my mind is unshakable! So the audio-visual design of the works of the younger generations can make such a comparable taste is what I want to see! Personal subjectivity is a bonus!
The most similar thing is that the 1-second lens in the picture is like the eye or head of an alien machine, which is exactly the same as the head of the triangle machine in World War! It really gave me the illusion that the two films are the same worldview! Because the setting for the alien forces in the World War is that they were buried under the earth very early, and they are ready to go..... Can it be interpreted that they can’t wait to come out in 1997 and played a bit of humanity? ? But back to the topic, it is the taste of the ancient video recorder in the form of a pseudo-documentary that makes me even more refreshed! The staying power of this film is very powerful! The plot flow may be very clichéd, but the details and elegance are very valuable! It is a very big imaginative burden on the unknown by human beings! And the display of special effects does not make people feel that fake and will not play, the visual display in the desert of the night can add a touch of mystery and truth...
This film was screened in Chinese theaters on June 22, 2018. I didn't notice it at the time. It must have very few ads and no commercials (and unpopular films are definitely not popular). But such a good opportunity to watch pseudo-documentaries in theaters. It's a pity to miss it. However, it really depends on avoiding Mandarin dubbing at the time... (By the way, the mainstream poster design is too bad, I'm sorry for the quality of the feature film, some of the posters are not bad)
"Special Theory of Relativity"-this is a real focus of the film
