When watching this movie, one word always reverberates in my mind, that is, "reverse travel".
I know that the term "reverse travel" refers to a hostel where travelers live in a different place, rather than going back in time (although the core concept of the film is not the flow of time, but the increase or decrease of entropy), but when you enter a room, you will come out. All reversed worlds, how like these retrograde travellers outside the order of development of things, they visit each time node that needs to be changed, like a stranger who has traveled from afar to visit friends, the reverse journey of all things, a hundred generations The passing.
Spoiler alert: If you mention Nolan’s movie, you probably don’t understand a little detail about the time. This film review is not complete. Although the plot frame is very simple, the heroes played by Washington and Pattinson can prevent the villains from getting together. Destroy the treasure of the world, but Nolan proposed this setting on the direction of entropy flow, using the two sequences of the development of things to lay out the puzzle, and completed several wonderful scene reuse, forward and reverse action scenes.
Specifically about how to use entropy flow to complete some wonderful tasks, I explained the specific mechanism as early as when I analyzed the trailer several months ago. Although it is definitely different from the movie, the basic entropy mechanism and the imitation result trigger are different. Incentives and other settings have not changed much: Nolan’s new film "Creed" is not a reverse flow of time, but an entropy reduction effect
For the analysis of several specific scenarios, I use the following flowcharts to show.
First of all, it is the first climax of the film's first forward and reverse collision, which is the scene of snatching the nuclear material polonium.
(The picture is slightly wrong, the villain who shoots the heroine with a gun is a reverse villain, not a positive villain)
As shown in the picture above, Washington, the heroine, and the villain have all changed the direction of entropy increase and decrease in this complete bridge segment, but what is interesting is that this wit battle is actually a puzzle set by the villain. The one-step reverse operation, passing messages between the positive and reverse self, takes the lead, and allows the reverse self with the positive heroine to complete a wonderful deception and threat, and finally from the male lead. I got the polonium, this wit and courage can be said to be the most exciting part of the film.
The most exciting action scene is the scene at the airport.
Although the level of complexity is not as high as the car chasing scene, the reuse of scenes more than an hour apart, and the perfect combination of forward fighting and reverse fighting, all make this section of the story pleasing to the eye.
In contrast, at the end of the credits, there are not many bright spots except for a slightly larger scene.
However, in order to save the safety of the forward world, Pattinson used his own life to complete the missing piece of the puzzle on the timeline, which suddenly gave this character who appeared to be a dangling on the first appearance a bit of tragic color.
There is no doubt that Nolan once again completed his precise control of time in the movie "Creed", and his ability to manage time, although there is still a gap between Luo Zhixiang and Luo Zhixiang, is already eye-opening.
However, I am a little disappointed that in this concept-above-all story, the narrative of over-technological flow has abandoned some emotional profoundness.
In fact, we can see that the two emotional outbursts that Nolan deliberately portrayed in this film are the relationship between the high sister heroine’s love for her children and the violence of the villain, and the other is Washington and Pa Ding Sen said that "My ending is your beginning, we will meet in your future, my past" such a passionate confession.
However, it is a pity that these two clues, which should have been full of emotions, did not shine as well as Nolan expected. In fact, the real reason is that the high-concept and complex plot brought about by the thousands of times the plot has greatly weakened the intensity of the emotional drama of the film. When the audience is immersed in the sense of confusion about time and space, whether there is still What about the stormy waves inside the character?
On the other hand, I admit that the repeated use of the airport section is very eye-catching. However, after watching the whole film, the decision to return to the airport was a bit abrupt (especially when I learned that there were a lot of converters on both sides). In fact, it is a small flaw that comes from the concept of advancement. There is no doubt that this concept of "the positive self and the reverse self are fighting each other" is earlier than the appearance of the details of the plot, so this scene can be reused , It is necessary to add some settings specifically to make the protagonist must, and only have to return to the airport, and when a large number of forward and reverse forces appear at the end, this setting must be revised so that a mysterious organization can create a large number of reverse forces. Soldier.
Generally speaking, as an action film, this film has contributed outstanding action scenes and some rare "image wonders".
However, as another ambition of Nolan, even though the plot is tightly closed, the emotions are a little sparser than that of "Interstellar" or "Dunkirk". In "Interstellar", the father spent a few hours and let his daughter wait. The sense of powerlessness for decades
"Dunkirk" is moved by the people after they have accumulated a long time in a boat
But they all disappeared in the film.
Although you can say that Pattinson and Washington are sincere, the mysterious man who appeared in the theater at the beginning is the proof of Pattinson's silent guarding of Washington. However, under the almost intemperate plot turn in the later period, these seem to be Smart foreshadowing is often unable to achieve the expected results, which is a bit regrettable.
Finally, back to the word I originally said: "reverse travel".
Compared with Washington watching the ending of Gao Sister silently, the film can actually end like this.
Washington has once again entered a state of entropy reduction. This time, he will go back a long time ago to find Pattinson and teach him to become a good friend in the future and a capable man against future forces.
However, Washington did not know exactly where to find the young Pattinson, so he had to sit and wait on a road that Pattinson was destined to pass by one day.
Until one day, he felt like he was being patted by someone. When Washington turned his head, it was the face of young Pattinson: "Uncle, I think you have been sitting for a long time and look tired. Would you like to eat an apple?"
Although you will be separated eventually, you will also meet in the end. Two people spent a memorable time with brothers and sisters, which was probably enough to comfort this lonely traveler.
