This article is only for screenwriting learning.
With a small cost, the actors and scenes are minimal.
The most brilliant place: is the author's reflection on artificial intelligence.
The story is small, short and concise, but very well organized. Although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, it has a foreshadowing, a reversal, and an orgasm.
Story line:
The man came to the boss' manor and started testing the robot.
The robot Ava told him that the boss was lying and there was an ulterior lie.
The man doubted the boss at first.
Ava further expresses her dependence and love for the male one. The male fantasizes about kissing with the robot at first.
In this process, the screenwriter has done a lot of foreshadowing. In the several conversations between the male one and Ava, their relationship has undergone subtle changes. In the beginning, the male one controlled the situation and tested against Ava. For the last time, Ava began to test. The male one kept asking him questions and controlled his emotions.
In the several conversations between the man and the boss, the screenwriter also made a subtle change in the relationship. The first conversation between the man and the boss was admiration, because after Ava’s conversation, the man began to have a questioning and distrustful mentality. Ask the boss, what lie did he tell? The real purpose of bringing him here? What will he do with Ava? When the man heard that the boss said that destroying Ava would create a more advanced robot, the man confronted the boss completely, stood on Ava's side, used the boss to be drunk, and began to help Ava escape.
In the last conversation between the male one and the boss, there were two major plot reversals. The first time, the boss revealed the secret of replacing the battery camera and showed the test he really wanted. One's denial, the boss told Ava to use the male one to escape, the male one was humiliated and denied, and his emotions began to fluctuate. He said the second reversal. He had already thought about the battery camera in advance. Yesterday the boss changed the program when he was drunk.
When the power went out, it was too late. Ava and Kyoko appeared. The boss was killed by Ava and Kyoko. The boy was locked in by Ava, and Ava walked into the human world.
The story ends.
This story is very simple, there is no complicated relationship between characters and changeable scenes. It can be said that the elements of the movie are quite simple, but why is it so impactful? The most important point is the author's reflection and prediction of artificial intelligence, which is deeply revealed through the direction of the story and the dialogue between the characters. Secondly, the characterization of the story and the establishment of the relationship between the characters seem simple, but it is very clever. The boss' alcoholism became the driving force of the story. The personality attributes of a male programmer, no family, no girlfriend, and eager for emotions, he is easy to be used by Ava, and personality shaping has become the driving force of the story. This is the second strong point, that is, the characters go with the story, instead of making up baseless things. The characters lead the story. This is the most advanced screenwriting method. It is the technique that will most allow the audience to gain a sense of identity, but it is difficult and requires a high level of technique and life perception.
What I learned from Mechanic Ji, first, the script must have a high degree of expression, what do you want to express? Is the expression novel, advanced, and straight to the pain of the audience? Second, your story and characters must have a design, and let the character's personality lead the story, rather than making it up. Third, the short, succinct, minimalist approach does not mean that it is not good-looking. Sometimes, you need to be very clear about what and how your story wants to express. You can also make a soup in a screw shell.
