The temperament of a good movie

In the year 2027 depicted in the movie, no one would care about the discomfort of sexual intercourse caused by condoms, because at that time the entire human race had not given birth for 18 years. The world is going crazy in hopelessness. Many things that once had long-term significance become no longer important. Wars are rife and gunpowder is everywhere. Britain is the last pure land. A large number of refugees are influx, but it is also on the verge of collapse. The protagonist Theo also lived like a walking dead, until one day he was looted by a radical organization called Fish, and he was surprised to see the first woman pregnant in 18 years...

Without hesitation, I named it the year 2006. The most worth watching movie.

Why do humans no longer have children? The film cleverly does not answer this, but the sword of Damocles that hangs over us every day such as environmental pollution, genetic mutation, nuclear radiation, etc., can completely answer the audience's questions. The danger that human beings generally live in is often the subject of the movie's favorite theme and the focus of the audience's attention. This shows that the fear caused by danger is always entangled in people's hearts like a hairspring and cannot be eliminated. I often think that with so many movies depicting so many possibilities for human extinction, there will always be a movie that comes to life.

Whether it is a science fiction film or an animation, all stories are performed by humans. As long as they are performed by humans, they cannot avoid the true nature and evil of human nature. One of the reasons why "Titanic" was a sensation at the time was that it fully demonstrated the nature of human beings. The same is true of "Son of Humanity". In the face of a precarious and dark future, what people are thinking, what they are doing, and what are they fighting for, In the face of a miraculous baby, how will you face him and how will you treat him? When the baby's crying stopped the rumble of gunfire, people looked at her with incredible expressions, and some soldiers even knelt down while crossing the cross, which made people feel an urge to cry.

A good movie cannot only rely on a good story and a good script. The shooting skills are equally important. The description of the scene is impeccable. If it were not for the film's explanation, you would not be able to recognize Britain, which is famous for its cleanliness and order. Many of the shots in the film are long shots that everyone participates in. This is a difficult point. Many films are horrible in this kind of shots (the simple method of Chinese blockbusters is to mask or cover all the non-main actors), but this film does it. Very good, I have to admire the organization ability of others. Long shots are also great. If you pay attention, you will find many details, such as the birth of the child, which is surprisingly realistic, such as the chase between motorcycles and cars. I don’t know how much effort it takes. The chaotic street fighting at the end is by no means lost to those blockbusters that mainly describe wars, such as scenes in refugee camps. I really doubt how it was done. The atmosphere of the movie is also accurately controlled. It can make you hold your breath when you are depressed and nervous, and worry about every action of the character. The one I am impressed is the scene of escaping from the farmhouse and being unable to start the car, and Jasper being killed. The moment it was killed, and the last boat swaying on the sea.

The quality of a good movie is that he will put great effort into setting scenes for flashes, such as refugee camps, such as the tense atmosphere on the streets; he will try his best to arrange characters who have no lines, such as the son of cousin Theo. He didn’t even look at the camera. For example, Jasper’s wife, she just sat there; he would arrange a lot of metaphors, such as the name Theo, and the pregnant mother jokingly saying "I am a virgin"; he would use the plot instead of the big one. Paragraphs of lines to tell the story.
