Great scene! Is this a tribute to Blade Runner, also based on Philip Dick's novel! Also with a strong William Gibson style! The dark colony, the high-tech buildings, the three-dimensional city shrouded in the rain, and the radiant air traffic, are very similar to the night city written by William Gibson:
"The dome is very large, and it is 40 kilometers from one end to the other. It's kind of like The Fuller's Bend roof, which used to cover the main arteries of the outer suburbs, was only much rougher and crappier. On a clear day, if the arc lights were turned off, a gray skylight would shoot down through the heavy plastic ceiling. For the sunshine, it can only be said to mean a little bit of sunshine. This kind of scene is quite similar to the prison sketch drawn by Giovanni Piranesi. Under the three-kilometer curved roof at the southernmost end is the Night City. The Night City does not pay taxes. There are also no public facilities. The arc lights there have long been broken, and the ceiling of the night is darkened by decades of cooking smoke. Even at noon, the night city is almost invisible. There are dozens or hundreds of night cities. The children are haunted in the rafters on the crooked roof, but in this dark night city. Who would pay attention?"
"The deepest part is close to the sky, and the sky that the night city can never see can only be seen in this piece of pollutants. Breathe under the sky."
And a passage from "Skinner's Room":
"After endless additions, the bridge grew like coral (mainly by the power of carbon fiber composites), but the bridge itself Always in good condition. Some parts, the original structure rusted out of the way, were later coated with a transparent material with higher tensile strength than the original steel; other parts were lined with black durable carbon fiber; Tight rusty iron wire is wrapped around it, which reinforces the starting point. The extension part is connected to the east and a section to the west. There is no plan, but all imaginable technologies and materials have been used. In the end, although one is amorphous, it is natural It's amazing how the muddy structure is presented in front of people's eyes."
I have always been fascinated by the dark and rotten scene structure of this apocalyptic feeling, so from my aesthetic point of view, the slums and various terraces in the air have been collaged many times, and they have become natural, which is really wonderful. The contrast between skyscrapers and dark corners, sticky colonies and neat Commonwealth is like being in two worlds. At the beginning of the film, the scene of the protagonist lying on the terrace watching the rain is even more ecstatic, reminiscent of the last paragraph of "Blade Runner", the silver rain when the replicator dies.
In addition, "the fall" is exactly like Da Liu's "Earth Cannon".
Finally, there is a little question, why does the protagonist play the third movement of The Tempest? Pro, Shaw, Scriabin Schoenberg and the like are obviously more appropriate, right?
