A sci-fi masterpiece in which the director is self-obsessed

Directed by Joseph Kzinski and starring Tom Cruise, the most powerful "Oblivion" (2013) in the first half of 2013 is finally released. Joseph Kzkinski’s previous work is only "TRON: Legacy" (2010). Of course, a similar feeling can be read in this film. Concise and cold, highly developed technology, broad and barren apocalyptic future. Lonely and ignorant human beings. Mysterious and terrifying alien life form.

Tom Cruise now manages the protagonist of this commercial blockbuster effortlessly, from the original "Mission: Impossible" (1996) to the unpopular "Vanilla Sky" (2001) to the big movie. The successful "Minority Report" (2002) Tom Cruise seems to be the best at shaping this kind of character who is caught in the mist and deception and finally realizes the truth, and the Jedi fights back. Between the eyebrows, the audience is confused and confused by the same amount. This is easy for the Liangtang who has been practicing hard and learning to hone his acting skills constantly. Oga Kurylenko, who was born as a model, has performed steadily in commercial films, literary films, and independent productions in recent years. The remaining supporting roles are actually not many. Female No. 2 Andrea Respolog’s previous works are not many, and Mr. Morgan Freeman is not the first time this kind of science fiction film. . There are also two familiar faces, the Danish actor Nicolas Coster-Waldau, who played the "Kingslayer" Jaime in "Game of Thrones", and Quentin Tarantino's queen female stand-in plus a good girlfriend Zoe Belle.

The script of this film was created by the director Joseph Krzynski, and later adapted by multiple Hollywood screenwriters. Nowadays, the science fiction theme has been gnawed fast and only bones are left. The depiction of aliens in the film seems to be an understatement. The focus is on the lost identity and memories of the male protagonist Jack Harper, but it is not until the end of the film. Let the audience understand how terrible aliens are. In the two-hour set, the director seems to be intoxicated by the simple and cold scene modeling he created and the retro ethereal, white nosie rock compiled by M83. (The director's taste in music is impeccable, and he loves French bands so much) He is obsessed with words, and therefore more or less loses control of the film.

A film critic said before that due to the subject matter of copying people, the box office and reputation of the film in the European and American regions baptized by Christianity are not very optimistic. Perhaps this is why Liangtang worked hard after Xiaoluo, and flew for the second time this year. The reason why China promotes this film. For the biggest piece of fat in Asia, Hollywood seems to be more and more uneasy.
