JJ Abrams is a screenwriter who writes stories and a director who can tell stories, which was expected before. Unexpectedly, the performances of the little actors are so old and hot. If it were changed to half a century ago, any adult actor would be enough to win the Oscar statuette with such acting skills. These children's performances make many old actors look amateurish. And with this performance, "Super 8" made me feel the sense of cinema again—the kind of movie-specific feeling that resonates with our hearts and makes us immerse ourselves in the movie.
The past two decades have been the trough of movies and the sorrow of commercial competition. Few movies have spawned that touched the audience. At the same time, the level of movie audiences is getting higher and higher. Living in this era, people's hearts are becoming more and more complicated, so that most of the adult characters in movies are unconvincing, let alone sympathetic. When we watch a movie, we are floating outside the movie, and can't walk into it anymore.
"Super 8" puts the story in the simple era of the summer of 1979, with the innocent interpretation of Joel Courtney and Elle Fanning, let us return to the movie. Those familiar movie languages, movie expressions, and movie stories made me once again regard "Super 8" as a journey to my soul.
Little discovery: The little male protagonist Joel Courtney is a bit like director JJ Abrams. It is estimated that Elle Fanning (Dakota Fanning's little sister) should also be the type of JJ Abrams' first love. Hiahia!
