This type of film has a common feature, the concept is novel, although the original works have many similarities, but they are still very thoughtful; the action pictures are more gorgeous, and the plot is developed as expected. As a commercial film, the foundation of Hollywood genre film is not That's it, the film is either exciting and inciting tears in the plot, or it is eye-catching in the special effects and inciting adrenal glands, but, however, this is really useless.
In the plot, novel ideas are overwhelmed by sensational points everywhere. The dangerous world created by science fiction stories is not a harmonious stage where everyone participates, but becomes a treasure place for the heroes and heroines to show off their affection. For details, see Divergent, The Hunger Games, Time Planning Bureau, Destiny Planning Bureau, etc. In terms of special effects, these films are still relatively professional. In order to avoid being described as Transformers, Spider-Man and other amusing action giants, they are quite frugal in the use of special effects, such as explosions, robots, humans and animals. There is no long-lasting street fighting and flying airplanes. (Of course, the edge of tomorrow is still visible in special effects, which is at the same level as the Pacific Rim). Then, as for the movie itself, in terms of casting, photography, dialogue, dubbing, and screenwriting, I think it’s too black to talk about it too much, so don’t talk about it. To sum up, leaving aside commercial factors, what is the significance of these films besides catering to the fame and popularity of the original novel?
The U.S. emperor is certainly not that stupid. The U.S. emperor has already started a film history lesson: the homeland is destroyed in the background setting, the people are in dire straits, um, Blade Runner, Twelve Monkeys, Brazil, Future Water The world, the Ghost in the Shell; aliens take advantage of the emptiness to enter and fight with humans: Independence Day, Star Wars, Predator; No, that’s not an alien, it’s an artificial intelligence rebellion: The Matrix, my robot, Terminator; after the war, the system is suppressed, and humans are eager for revolution under the ** system: V-Vendetta, Brazil; not only the system is suppressed, but there is also cybernetics: the thirteenth layer of the world, the Matrix, the Ghost in the Shell Team; these are actually not enough, but time travel is still needed: so there are back to the future, death hallucinations, and Solaris. And this great movie not only approves the coat of science fiction, but also tries hard to discuss it with people's hearts, but these things, such as Fog, Blade Runner, Clockwork Orange, Stalker, and Dr. Strange Ai, play less.
So the question is, what is the director of American science fiction film doing while looking through textbook-like film history materials.
ps: Actually, it’s pretty good
