The past without if

When I watched this movie, my sour grape psychology began to reappear, and I kept thinking in my seat: "plagiarism, plagiarism, plagiarism!" Hedgehog was quite disapproving of my behavior. I forgive him, for someone like him who has never watched a movie, of course, he can’t see it. This box office champion movie completely copied Liu Zhenwei’s "Infinite Resurrection"! Of course, plagiarism is too serious, it is about "the hero sees the same."

This is the case, I have to admit that "Time and Space Clues" is more like a movie than "Infinite Resurrection", in other words, it has more movie elements and can play a more entertaining role.

At the beginning of the movie, the world was full of peace and joy: New Orleans, a ship quietly anchored in the harbor, and a group of naval soldiers and their wives and daughters on vacation held an annual carnival celebration. Suddenly, there was a crazy explosion, thick smoke billowed, and the fire glowed red on the bridge. ATF (specializing in alcohol, tobacco and firearms) agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) was quickly dispatched to investigate The scene of the explosion. Although experienced, Carlin, who arrived at the scene, had a strange and inexplicable sense of familiarity with the scene and the characters. He was able to find some clues that even fbi could not find.

Carlin, who followed the investigation, gradually unearthed even more incredible things-whether it was the scene, photos, rooms, what happened when the ferry exploded, everything seemed inseparable from his past and future, and these seemed to lead him towards Another terrifying crime! Carlin, who was invited to join the newly formed investigation team, began to contact the government’s secret time laboratory, where they could monitor events that occurred anywhere in the past 4 days. At the same time, he also discovered that the original time and space can be reversed, everything Can start all over again...

The whole film has a compact plot and a degree of relaxation. Several fierce explosive scenes have seen an angry bloodline but do not overwhelm the guests. This is a difficult point. Usually the car chasing scenes and explosive scenes in police and gangster films will become chicken ribs and lie on the ground. The audience was restless in the middle, and the eardrums suffered. The chase scene in this film is so wonderful that our protagonist only knows what he is chasing, but does not know how to chase it, because they are separated by four days of time and space. Through a machine, Carlin chases for four days. The former culprit was speeding on the highway bridge, but there was nothing but a heroic feeling. Producer Jerry Brackheimer's achievements can scare people to death, to name a few: "High Aspirations", "Jedi Men", "Brave to Death Island", "Enemies of the Country", "Pearl Harbor", " Pirates of the Caribbean, National Treasure, etc. Director Tony Scott's transcripts should not be underestimated: "Enemies of the Country", "High Aspirations", "Spy Game", "Line of Fire", "Red Storm" and so on. The result of such a strong alliance naturally makes us speechless.

This is a pure movie. The reason for saying so is that compared with "Infinite Resurrection", in terms of plot and rationality, "Clues of Time and Space" can capture the audience's attention better, and the storytelling is complete. . "Infinite Resurrection" is more like a small theater performance, from the director to the actors seem to be a little self-entertaining, and the lack of commercial elements in the film determines that the film is difficult to resonate with a wide audience.

"Time and Space Clues", the interpretation of the two actors, Denzel Washington and Van Kemer, makes the image of the characters more vivid and sensible, especially Denzel Washington. Starting from "Life and Death", this is what I like very much. An actor of, his performance is tepid, and his performance is huge. The image of the alcoholic in "FireWire" is no worse than Nicholas Cage! Just for his performance, this film is also worth the price.

Cheng Qingsong said that this film performed "a person can step into the same river twice". In fact, Carlin did not step into the same river. Friends in the laboratory showed him that the transformation of time and space is like a fork in a river. Tributaries may replace the mainstream, or they may die out or merge with the mainstream. We can’t change time and space. We can never know what would happen to us "If..." Opportunity to come.

Liu Zhenwei borrowed Zhizunbao's words in "Journey to the West" and said: "If you give me a chance to come again", he got the Moonlight Treasure Box, but what can I do if he got it? In this life, Zhizunbao lost Zixia ! Carlimb is lucky to be in love, but he has lost his "self in time and space" forever. Therefore, time is the fairest. Regardless of man or god, what he can do in the face of time is to endure and persevere. Karin has "if", but Supreme Treasure does not; Karin has "return", but we don't.
