Part of watching this movie is directed at Will Smith's name, after all, I have also watched "I Am a Legend".

This work is a classic American sci-fi comedy movie. The plot is relatively simple and routine. It is a story in which the protagonist opens the door to a new world and then fights monsters and upgrades to save the world. However, various special effects were not easy in 1997. Especially the design of aliens is very real.

Agent J can be said to have a funny and calm double-faced character, but it seems to be more funny. He is also open-minded and straightforward. He is very impressive whether he is desperately hunting fugitives, arguing with colleagues, taking the test, or his unique way of thinking and sense of humor. This kind of cynicism and rashness, but never fails to make mistakes on major issues, is exactly what I yearn for. I hope that one day, I can become such a person.

The deepest feeling in the movie is Smith's contemplation and decision that day. Listen to what Agent K said, there is no more you in the world. You will never be remembered by anyone. You will disappear from the public's sight forever to engage in unknown jobs in those corners. This is difficult, because on the one hand we are eager to discover the truth and secrets and long for an extraordinary life, on the other hand we have to pay a price that is almost unbearable. Although in the camera, only the sun rose from the east to the west, which symbolized the passage of a day, Smith made a decision afterwards and walked into the man in black headquarters with ease to submit his reply, but the ideological struggle in it is probably indescribable. of.

Agent K, who has worked for decades and specializes in erasing people’s memories, was so indifferent and calm when he finally ushered in retirement and his own amnestics, just like the fall of an alien flying saucer and a large amount of dust. The figure is still as strong as a mountain, and the complexion is not changed. That scene is also handsome.

The other place where I feel deepest is the incredible shot at the end of the movie. The "Milky Way" in the film is sealed in a glass ball, and the universe in the film is so general. There is still more than one sealed in a glass ball. Several multiverses are like marbles played by children, put into sacks one by one by aliens. This somewhat reflects the idea of ​​"one flower, one world, one leaf and one bodhi". What is outside the universe? Maybe that's it.

"Do you think it...worth it?"

"It's worth it, if you are strong enough."
