------------- "Destiny Planning Bureau" after watching
David is a Senate candidate in Brooklyn, New York, the film shows various nervous and orderly campaign activities from the very beginning, at a voter rally Giving speeches, visiting people in New York, being interviewed by TV media shows, and canvassing for votes on street tours. His voter approval rate was leading all the way, and he seemed to have a solid victory, but because of a fight in a bar after his speech, he completely lost the election after being exposed by the media. While David was preparing his failed campaign lines in the men's bathroom, Elis, who came to the hotel wedding to eat and drink, hid in the men's bathroom to avoid security. That plot and dialogue is one of my favorites in the film, and that kiss is a testament to the obvious love at first sight between the two. The appearance of Elis also inspired David's speech. In his unsuccessful speech, he did not use planned lines, but frankly stated that his tie, shoes, and speech were carefully polished by the planning team, so that Instead, his slanted strategy allowed him to emerge from the defeat and become a popular figure in the following year's campaign.
From the beginning of the film, a group of people are talking and acting mysteriously. If you are not careful when watching, you will not notice, but these are all paving the way for the appearance of the "Planning Bureau of Destiny" later. Originally, things went according to plan, but due to the exhaustion and negligence of Harry, a member of the Planning Bureau who monitored David's fate, David ran into Elis again on the M16 bus, left his contact information, and crashed at the company. Actions of the Destiny Planning Bureau. The time and space of the situation brought this mysterious organization to the surface, and had to tell David their secrets, and threatened him not to reveal it and burn the contact phone so that he could not meet Elise again. The spirit of not giving up made David insist on taking the M16 bus every day, and finally met Elis three years later. This time he never wanted to let her go. After giving the speech, David realized that the people in the planning bureau were hindering his reunion with Elis. He postponed the interview after the speech. He inquired about the address of Elis's company in various ways. After crossing the red light, he finally opened the door of the dance room and saw Elis dancing. The matter was beyond the control of the planning bureau.
Both of them understand that each other is the object of their deep love, they happily walk and joke on the street, they dance in the ballroom relaxedly, their sincere communication in the beautiful night, their love comes from the firewood and fire in their hearts. The Planning Bureau escalated the case to a higher-ranking person. His method was not to forcefully separate them, but to tell David that he could have become the President of the United States and made a career to realize his ideals and that of his father and brother. Neither impresses David, who would rather give up his good future to be with Elis of his own free will, but in Elis "sprained his foot" and learns that she can't achieve herself if she is with him. His dancing dreams came when he became shaken and left Elis in the hospital.
Eleven months later, David had a 10-point lead, but he also learned of Elise's impending marriage from an old friend of his advisory team. With the help of the sympathetic Planning Bureau agent Harry, he used the shuttle door to avoid the obstacles of the Planning Bureau to find Elis. The part running hand in hand on the street is also one of my favorite parts. They shuttled to the Statue of Liberty and even found the headquarters of the Destiny Planning Bureau. After struggling, they finally faced the ending of being "brainwashed by rebooting". They hugged each other and said I love you. In the end, the chairman of the Destiny Planning Bureau was shocked and re-written their destiny planning book, where their destiny is together, and everything in the future is unknown. Such an ending is the highlight of the film. If the ending is that two people can still become the president of the United States and a famous dancer, it is still under the control of the fate planning bureau, which does not reflect the value of free will, and will make the ending too full. .
The intervention of the Destiny Planning Bureau in the film is divided into three levels. The initial level is to use seemingly accidental arrangements to prevent two people from meeting or contacting them, so that their fate can continue to follow the established plan; the second level is More advanced, he does not use coercion but the "optimal" ending, especially the "optimal" ending of the other party, to influence the beliefs of the two people, so that they are forced to give up on their own; the third level is only owned by the chairman. The right, that is, to revise the plan. They have high-sounding reasons for monitoring and planning the fate of mankind, the decline and darkness after the high cultural and economic prosperity of the Roman Empire, the two world wars and the nuclear crisis in the last century, and the imperfection of human nature. . But David and Elise's struggles have some of them wondering whether that arrangement was always the right one. Like the monologue at the end of the film, only those who have the courage to overcome obstacles in pursuit of free will will get it and put it to good use, while the majority of people just live their lives in a rut. If David didn't take the same bus every day for three years, and if Ilisken "compromised" to marry that choreographer boyfriend for the sake of career development, would there still be the end of the free will that the latter two won? Many times, it is not impossible, but we give up. The dialogue and plot in the movie are remarkable, the dialogue in the men's bathroom, David's speech in the election defeat, the chance encounter on the bus, the reunion three years later and the obstacles to find Elis, these are all. It is a very interesting place. Although the ending is also the highest point of the conflict, the expressiveness is not enough to shock or touch the hearts of the audience, but the last paragraph is very intriguing.
We may never realize the existence of "Fate Planning Bureau" because they do not appear in the image of a mysterious organization like in the movie, which we usually call "God", "God" and "God" "Angel" and so on. In the film, they travel around the world to make the world work as planned by the "chairman". In fact, the power of this kind of destiny planning is very powerful in China, not to mention the shackles of etiquette in the feudal society for thousands of years. Even today, we have succumbed to the arrangements of our parents at an ignorant age, and chose a life path that we may not like, and even we have to do jobs that we do not like because of pressure, and speak insincerely for a better life in the workplace. I did something reluctant; even because my family opposed having no house or car, I gave up my true love with my boyfriend or girlfriend, and chose a path that seemed to be more "reliable" for our lives. Experience and reason tell us that only doing so is the best choice in our life, and we can get the happiest and most beautiful ending. In fact, these are all nonsense. Reason and ending are important, but more important is the choice we make under our own will. As long as we have the courage to be responsible for our choice like the two protagonists in the film, it is enough. You can't predict what kind of ending such a choice might bring to your life, but you can at least say for sure: this is me, as a person with independent and free will, the choice made at this moment based on my own judgment and emotions, I Take responsibility for your choice! The free will of this choice is the most important, even if we don't get the most ideal ending in life.
I think Chinese history and current society are actually the most suitable for producing such a film, because it is too easy to resonate with people. As long as we can understand the meaning of the film, each of us can be more or less in our own life. Find examples of this on . Perhaps it was because of the satisfaction of the parents that he chose a job he didn’t like, or he gave up a certain relationship under the pressure of the people around him, or perhaps he gave up his own independent opinion for the sake of some interests, and the list goes on and on. But China's literary and film circles did not produce such films, but appeared in the United States, a country that seems to be far more free and open than ours. And our cultural film and television directors only know how to use money to pile up useless special effects and invite news stars, and then use various channels and advertising to deceive the audience. subject, which is really sad.
PS: If you plan to watch this movie, remember that it is not a sci-fi movie, the sci-fi elements are just props, and it is not a romance movie, it is just an external manifestation of the core of free will.
PPS: I don’t think it’s necessary to put pictures in similar movie reviews. People who are really interested and willing to read it won’t care if there are pictures. People who don’t have any interest and just pass by. It doesn’t matter if there are pictures or not, not to mention that the pictures are not mine. I just found my stuff online. If you have to rely on movie posters to decide whether or not to watch a certain movie, this is unreliable in itself!
