What is certain is that the original plot of "The Invisible Man" starring Johnny Depp must not be what it is now, and the producers will not be crazy enough to spend tens of millions to invite a star and let him spend 95% of the time in the movie. in a transparent state. That version of the story might focus on the "invisible man" Dr. Griffin himself, a genius with a fanatical pursuit of science, a marginalized person who is out of line with society, and intends to establish a reign of terror after acquiring extraordinary powers, just as Wells wrote in the original book. . Director Lei's version is very speculative, replacing the big male protagonist with a big female protagonist. In the context of the "Me Too" movement, the story has a natural topicality, and the concept of "invisible person" is discarded. The female protagonist is in the film. Most of the time, the performance is like a patient suffering from domestic violence trauma, which is easy to resonate with people who have similar experiences in reality. A smart, highly motivated heroine who can save herself is also what the audience wants to see. Director Lei gave the original work more than 100 years ago a theme that fits the present, so Universal gave the green light to the dead project again. I really like the dark ending of the movie, which continues the negative thinking about technology and human nature in the original book, and also makes the sequel unpredictable~
