When it comes to British cinema, I often have a mixture of awe and apprehension. Because the British are different from the American movies we are used to seeing, they like and are good at using dark humor, such as the mini-series "Black Mirror". There is a lot of things behind the seemingly flat narrative, but this expression is sometimes too much. Understated or too funny to catch the audience off guard. But at the end I am more joyful.
The first thing to praise is the performance of Simon and all the actors, especially Simon, who is so good. I have seen Simon's movie before, and the most impressive one is Zombie Sean. The ending of this movie can be said to be similar to Zombie Sean. At the end of the film, Roger who is not Roger and Peter who is not Peter and other Newton Havens People and people on earth live and live together peacefully, just like people and zombies live in peace and help each other, and the most essential of the two movies is the kind of love that is full of love - even if you become a zombie, you must be a good brother, even if you once He let me down but I have to give my life to save him.
The actors' performances are all in place, and their expressions, movements, and eyes are very well coordinated. In the first half, I basically watched their performances carefully, and sometimes I even had to go back and watch them several times, because it was so entertaining, a group of adults It's a great feeling to be in front of a child who is ostensibly an adult.
The second is that the fast-forward introduction in the front basically corresponds to and is closely related to the following plot:
a car named The Beast gets a red card, encounters a girl with orange peel jam sandwiches, punches the toilet wall, encounters a Pakistani Hill, bought marijuana, Oliver was the first to hang up, Peter didn't keep up with the big group, Andy got drunk, and the three people who finally reached the top of the mountain were Gary, Andy and Stephen. All of these were encountered in the later plots, and even became a turning point in the plot, and the first to be transformed by aliens was Oliver, the second was Peter, and the other three survived the disaster.
The third is human change. Except for Gary, everyone else has changed, and they all lead a so-called normal life, have a regular and legitimate occupation, and are even considered successful people, social elites, have wives or have had wives, at least have families, and Gary, from In essence, he hasn't changed at all, he is still the little kid in his heart, and decades later, he is still doing the same thing, trying to order fast food in the toilet and Shan, but nothing can be done, so in the adult world, it can be done. Saying he's a looser, saying whether he's a boyfriendtype, he's also a bit 2, especially when he keeps hitting his head against the pillar, and when they are besieged by people, Gary still has to drink all 12 taverns as originally planned. In fact, he is right. An escape from the real world, in order to convince Oliver that this is the end of his childhood, it can be said to be the end of his childhood. For Gary, this is the happiest thing in his life. Because he hasn't grown up inside, he can't adapt to the real world, and he uses some childish methods, and this trip back to Newton Haven is so expected and sacred to him.
But in fact, the other four people have some pure and precious things in their hearts that have not changed. Peter is kind and timid, and has the best temperament; the moment Steven saw Oliver's sister Shan, it seemed that he was back to teenage;
finally Shocked, to be honest, the little friends were really shocked when they saw this movie about aliens. The middle of the plot is gone, the key is the last thing Gary said, he said: we wanna be free, we wanna be free do what we wanna do, we wanna be get loaded and we wanna have a good time. It is because of these words that the aliens decided to let the Earth and their cloned pseudo-Earths fend for themselves. These remarks can also be said to be the voice of many people. In today's stressful society, everyone seems to have shackles and burdens. Gary's unrestrained behavior is the opposite, but it is also an irresponsible behavior. Everyone's cry.
The last thing I have to mention is the mapping relationship between the plot of the movie and the real society. The similarity of the taverns is actually the reason for the chain companies. It is the same everywhere, and the chain that the United States loves has lost a lot of flavor and personality. The perfect bistro is just what they like, maybe imperfect, but not cookie-cutter. And Peter's final death was related to his being bullied by the school bully. After so many years, the anger in his chest made him lose his mind for a while and the army was separated. The problem of school bullies is all over the world, and some places are still serious. This is also a real problem.
