【warn! High school students who have just taken the college entrance examination, please do not try to watch this film and this article, so as not to wake up tomorrow at the college entrance examination site...] [Spoiler Alert! The following content involves part of the plot story leaked, which may affect viewing] The story mode of "Edge of Tomorrow" (Edge of Tomorrow) is familiar to audiences who often enter the cinema. It is the sci-fi version of "Groundhog Day" (Groundhog). Day), the extremely poor version of "Pacific Rim", after all, is the Japanese ACG that has been Hollywoodized, and it is not difficult to understand. This set of tried-and-tested texts can always turn a weak and timid "Second-Secondary Boy" into a superhero who saves the world in the battle of blood and fire. You can think of it as a fantasy of a war machine, but it is always full of blood, not knowing where to surging in the body. As a commercial entertainment film, "Edge of Tomorrow" is really interesting. Different from the endless loop of "Source Code" (the timeline of the story will be disturbed by the protagonist's crossing), the protagonist of "Edge of Tomorrow" can play games like childhood, with unlimited life and constant resurrection (undifferentiated reading files), except Repeatedly improving his combat skills, he is luckier than the "undead" Wolverine, able to retain all his memories and eventually become the strongest player. For Tom Cruise, who was "killed fifty thousand times", such a role is both good to play but not easy to play. Because the timeline of the movie is frequently interrupted, and the space is compressed in the base and the beach, there is almost no emotional drama for the individual. It can even be guessed that the name Cage (cage, cell) also refers to something, implying that the protagonist can hardly escape that day. With the help of editing flashbacks and omitting white space-the audience has no way of knowing how many times the protagonist's mission has reached. Therefore, when the loop mode is turned on, the first picture the audience sees may be the 364th time, the next is the 890th time, and the following pictures are 1713 times and 2145 times. In the period of drinking coffee or taking a helicopter, when the audience thinks that the protagonist is just habitually performing the tricks of picking up girls in Hollywood blockbusters, they don’t know that the seemingly ordinary verbal dialogue hides their deep love. It turns out that they are already stuck at this level. for a long time. In the same way, the protagonist also thought about escaping and quitting, but found it to no avail. Even if the protagonist has only one percent of the courage to apply the heroine's line "I am a fighter", it will explode in endlessly repeated tasks. For the sake of love, for the destiny of mankind, for the Valkyrie who appeared repeatedly and repeatedly emphasized, he could not help but become a hero. Perhaps in the eyes of some viewers, the future of "Edge of Tomorrow" will be inferior to "Landscape of Lost", and the mecha is simpler and closer to "Elysium". Even alien monsters are reluctant to show their faces and close-ups. The workmanship is far inferior to "Prometheus." However, "Edge of Tomorrow" still removes the cold weapons from the prototype novel and adds more hot weapons (even if it is still live ammunition), which is more conducive to viewing. The film also used the important process of World War II, taking the Normandy landing on the Western Front as an example, repeatedly performing the beach wars. And the battle of Verdun in which the heroine lost her ability, actually It was also the most terrifying battle of the First World War, known as the meat grinder and the slaughterhouse. War, it turned a man who was timid to see blood into a veritable special soldier and war machine. Due to the common practice of Hollywood movies, "Edge of Tomorrow" did not have a dark or open ending. But as far as the movie-watching experience is concerned, the experience of repeated deaths has gone from shock to comedy to black to despair. This process has made the audience feel tired. So, "Edge of Tomorrow" chooses a "Farewell, War" ending, which is actually a good thing. After all, compared to "come back when we die," everyone is more receptive to "love when we die." 【Southern Metropolis Dailyhttp://epaper.oeeee.com/C/html/2014-06/07/content_2085754.htm】
