The comfortable sense of rhythm relaxes the cells around the body to follow the rhythm of the film. Regardless of the use of long shots or the arrangement of characters in the plot, the director's meticulous connection did not make the audience feel that the plot development was superfluous and tightly linked. All show unique creative ideas and visual images. The movie itself is a product of fiction, and I don't want to find too much irrationality in the plot.
Picture 1: A poor, sullen lazy man, the room is messy, the ex-wife runs away, and the girlfriend is now breaking up.
I think that this kind of plot is just for NZT and his girlfriend. The emotional entanglement between Eddie and his girlfriend in the first half did not make the audience bored. After all, the love in foreign movies is mostly about getting together and going away, and when they meet each other with a smile, they don't have too many grievances. I can break up with you, even if you still have a passion for me, but we still can't hold hands anymore. Because I have the freedom to pursue happiness. But later when Eddie was featured in major newspapers, they met again. Is his girlfriend's attitude and behavior as decisive as it was two months ago?
Picture 2: Eddie’s 18 hours.
After Eddie took NZT every time, I personally like the processing and editing of the tones of the director’s screen. In Eddie's eighteen hours, under the effect of the drug, he didn't know his behavior at all. He was sleeping in a dream, losing consciousness, forgetting himself, or dying. Maybe you are the same as me. When watching the whole movie, Eddie’s moments of joy and pain hang in your heart. Sometimes driven by external forces, I walk too fast and my soul can’t keep up, so that Eddie’s blank space does not leave a deep impression in his brain, so the wisdom of eliminating the brain will bring you Money and profit, such a walking dead, do you really like it?
Picture 3: Girlfriend decided to leave
Girlfriend is the foreshadowing of the director. When the girlfriend knows the truth of the matter and has experienced the immediate 30-second effect of NZT, when she still chooses to leave, isn't it a vivid interpretation of the two different outlooks on life and values of modern people. When faced with the infinite temptation of NZT, some people still choose to stop. Rely on your own strength instead of drugs to develop your own brain and wisdom to pursue and surpass your life goals. The contented are rich, that's probably what it means. You said that you can protect me and give me enough money, but this kind of behavior seems to be undetermined, a kind of vain, and there is no sense of comfort at home. I agree with the heroine's attitude.
Picture 4: Another example is when the ex-wife came back to warn her of her misfortune.
This is the third type of person in the film. They were once psychedelic in the magic of NZT, and they also obtained the intelligence and glory they desired. However, the yellow warning issued by the body and the physical overdraft made them suddenly see the nature of medicine and humanity. Maybe everything at that time is not as good as health. I would rather choose a mediocre lonely old for life than accept drug control to dominate the workplace. I think this is also the wish of many people who have died because of NZT in the film. But, when life is over again, are you willing to forgive yourself at that time?
Picture 5: Eddie wants to jump off the building to end his life in the fortress built for him
. Misfortune is not singular. There is no NZT left, and the ruffian has found the door. There is no worse situation than this. Jumping down, not a sigh, but a crash, like a dream bubble. The story is still not over, all values have to be re-evaluated. Eddie finally retracted his feet, which also proved Eddie's toughness in his bones, not to be outdone. This is a turning point for the director, paving the way for a better development of the climax.
Throughout the film, it is Wall Street bosses who really give the audience a positive image. Despite the end of the story, Eddie tells all his crimes. At the end of the story, Eddie showed a domineering and arrogant look in front of Wall Street bigwigs, which is in stark contrast to the unbearable appearance of NZT messy and embarrassed in front of big bosses. Everyone hopes not to be humble in front of honor. Everyone hopes to be killed in the arena without bloodshed. However, the development of all actions requires our steadfast efforts and a smart brain to cooperate with the violence of the mind to defeat the enemy. But if there is no NZT in life, what are you?
Regarding desire, the development of the dark lines in the storyline is clear. Eddie discovered that NZT could allow him to gain the intimacy of women and give him a hug. After satisfying the basic desires, it is the material needs. He went to the casino, and with wisdom he won. He thought of obtaining greater benefits, and he spontaneously came up with the idea of getting more benefits, so he went to the locals to borrow usury and plunged into the stock market in a short period of time. After earning a fortune, after material desires are satisfied, it will be on the spiritual level, prestige and reputation. Superpowers give humans infinite pride, but they are also worried that such a shortcut will be smashed by the public, right? That's why they have a small inner bag specially sewn in each of Eddie's clothes. In fact, they know as well as us that there are no shortcuts to success. But for this most vain thing he wants to continue to own NZT, so he researches and develops and improves, even when his life is in danger, he has to die. This also confirms what Nietzsche said, what people ultimately like is their own desires, not the things they like. His subjective intention is driving him to keep moving forward, even if it is to drink the blood spread on the ground. Human desires are endless, inner contentment is the fundamental, human potential is unlimited, but you can't catch fish. People are rich in talent and poor in talent. We can't change the conditions that are determined by nature, but we have the ability to create better conditions for our future. I would like to borrow a word from Buddhism that all people in the world have the wisdom and virtues of the Tathagata, which cannot be achieved only because of delusion and attachment. In Eddie's world, this kind of desire is deeply ingrained in him. Even if there are thousands of ways, there is no way out, that is, there is no end.
