Desperate Kubrick + Desperate Spielberg

I'm a huge Kubrick fan. Shamelessly to paraphrase Dickens: This is the best movie, this is the worst movie. Then I have to add narration comments even more shamelessly. This is the depth, understand? depth!

This is the unfinished work of the old man. It is said that the idea of ​​the script has been completed a long time ago, but the technical indicators of the year were not too strong and could not be adapted to the silver screen. In the end, it was completed by Spielberg, which was regarded as a sacrifice to the spirit of Lao Ku in the sky.

To say it, similar stories have been told long ago, nothing more than discussing the symbiosis and coexistence, dependence and repulsion of humans and machines. It's just that Kubrick's story is always icy cold, despairing to madness. I firmly believe that Lao Ku is a pure misogynist. In his hands, there has never been a perfect ending, and there has never been any tenderness. He just quietly amplified, amplified, and amplified the cruelty of this world and human nature.

But after all, this movie was completed by Spielberg, so it inevitably fell into Spielberg's warm cliché, especially the much-maligned ending, which is really too unlike the story of the old library.

One of my favorite scenes is when my mother drove the little robot to the junkyard and abandoned it. The high-tech car silently galloped on the smooth road, and the mottled tree shadows quickly slid past the shiny car body, and the perspective was slow. The swirl of the whole picture is cold, as if Spielberg is paying tribute to the old library.

Jude Law's conscientious performance in the film can be compared with Haley, who is like a play demon, and at most it is just a set prop that performs well. Haley, this little devil is too good, he was born for performance. It is no exaggeration to say that in my mind, he is even better than Xiulan Temple. At the end of the film's vulgar Hollywood-style warmth, Haley's performance is so immersive that I burst into tears.

This is a science fiction film, this is Kubrick's speculative essay on human beings who exists like a god, and then it is expressed in a hypocritical Spielberg style, but this hypocriticalness is still just right.

    The cruel adult fairy tale, the child is so weird, it's fascinating to see it. The overall atmosphere of the film is very sad, but it is not my tears. After watching it, I feel very tired. The theme is moving. His program is love. When love became the only reason for his survival, this child could not spend his entire life searching and waiting for thousands of years, reincarnation. Spielberg helped him complete Kubrick's posthumous work.
