The same goes for Looper. Usually science fiction involves traveling through time and space with extreme caution. Even if the vortex of contradictions and paradoxes is not round, one or two scientific theories have to be protected. The core stalk of the "Loop Messenger" story may have been thought up in the screenwriter's dream. Since you want to preserve the plot of the story, the basic setting is bound to be unscientific, so just do the opposite completely. When the audience sees the retro freehand space-time shuttle in the film, they can understand that it is not just science, but the pseudo-science is not intended to be used. This is certainly not a hard science fiction, not even a soft science fiction, I prefer to classify it as a magic movie.
Three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the line, the magic movie is also divided into three or six grades. Although the mainland Looper is an abridged version, it basically doesn't hinder or tells a good story that is mainstream. In 204X, Dongfanghong had already squeezed out the green back banknotes and became the currency following real gold and silver; 30 years later, Shanghai has become the center of the world. Grandpa Mao has brought the world together in another way, but he has not yet realized communism in the world. The gap between the rich and the poor still exists, and comrades still need to work hard. Of course, this is just a blurred background. The theme of the story is simply: a child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is like dynamite. Without the guardianship and instruction of a good mother (it’s better if the parents are complete), the child will become the boss demon and destroy the world and explode. Think about Seth’s horrible death without seeing a drop of blood at the beginning of the film (I watched horror movies very few, this episode really feels full of dark aura), I can’t help but feel that this may be regarded as the management of the past few years. The most innovative complaints and warnings about the phenomenon of no matter how to raise it. Finally, due to the self-sacrifice of actor Joe, the mutant super-powered child should no longer become Magneto when he grows up. From the point of saving the world, although Xiao Qiao’s sacrifice is easily reminiscent of the fetus in the early "Butterfly Effect" The shocking ending of hanging the umbilical cord in the mother's womb is not completely desperate but more positive in comparison. He gave up his life and future, chose to believe in maternal love, and gave love a chance.
As usual, talk about actors. I don’t know how many times J. Cerf has watched Die Hard, his expression and way of speaking are indeed imitated quite similar to Bruce Willis. When Xiao Qiao and Lao Qiao formally met in the restaurant, I automatically played the background music of "I will be you when I grow up" in my mind, and I felt Xiao Qiao's wanting to say, "You swelled my hair." (not at all). In addition to the appearance IQ, the difference in strength between the two people is too big. It is said that Xiao Qiao is in his 20s, and Qiao is close to 60. When he fights, he is all at a disadvantage. Xiao Bai Yang, Xiao Bai Yang, how many golden carats did you grow up later? The kind of die hard pillars. As for Xu Qing, who has not many roles but is of great significance, I am really happy that this time the film has chosen a female image that also conforms to the oriental aesthetic.
Finally diverge. In the film, Old Qiao explained that his memory of the past after he traveled back is a vague, but infinite possibility. With the things Xiao Qiao did, it gradually became clear, that is, when he recalled it, it turned into a conclusive memory. I don’t know if you have had a consciously clear future that suddenly disappeared like a mirage due to various reasons. If you think about it the other way round, is it not only ourselves, but also the rewriting of ourselves or others from the future that determines our path?
