After watching it, the first feeling is that I am not satisfied. In terms of action, several fights are really good, but the appetite that has been raised by Hollywood is not satisfied with this level of fighting. There is inheritance and maintenance, but it is not enough Innovation and change. At first, I thought that the theme of the film would revolve around people and machines, but unfortunately, the writing on this aspect is relatively small, and the discussion is not deep enough.
For a better comparison, I revisited the old version of the trilogy. Well, after all, the times are different, and all aspects of the film have been greatly improved. Limited by the hardware conditions and cost control at the time, it is natural to say nothing about the shape and action, but I didn't expect that the difference in the script would be so big. The focus of the old version was obviously a satire on the big group. The internal infighting, gang formation, coercion and inducement remained the same throughout the trilogy. The executives changed batches after batches, but all for their own sake. The superiors worked hard to "struggle"; then they continued to be promoted to large groups in the latter two parts in an attempt to control the government and society, so that the city could be privatized and corporatized, and by the way, it also mocked the incompetent government.
In the new version, the struggle for power within the group has been greatly weakened, and the camps are divided into two simple factions, scientists and assistants (R&D department) who stick to their ideals and the Gang of Four (marketing department) who seek to maximize the company's interests. The result of this differentiation makes the final The outcome is self-evident. The weakening of internal infighting makes another line clearer and more logical than the old version, which is how a company enters a new market and opens up sales channels for consumers to accept, the intrigue and inhumanity used in this, and its motivation and implementation. The means are obviously clearer than the old version.
However, the story of this kind of conspiracy theory is not new for a long time, and as one of the most famous examples of the integration of man and machine, if the greater focus can be placed on exploring what is human and what is machine, the thinking of the film may be sublimated. . "Elite Force", which I watched for horizontal comparison, made me disappointed with the assembly line production method in Hollywood. This is a director who can shoot some of his own ideas. Unfortunately, the final product is not very satisfactory. The human brain is a mechanical body, and what the brain sends and receives is nothing more than electromagnetic waves. When software can try to limit the brain, is it a human or a machine? People know how to love, so there will be hesitation and hesitation, and emotions will be mixed, so people are not as good as machines? If the machine executes human manipulation or a predetermined program, then if the machine kills a man, is his manipulation or programmer also a murderer? "Jurassic Park" said "Life finds a way", Murphy broke his "Three Laws", so how will other intelligent life interpret them? •••••• It's a pity that it's only been tasted in the movies.
In the end, I have to complain about the terrible 3D environment in China. It is too dark, especially the night battle with the lights turned off. Because the small theaters are all dominated by 3D, there is no one who wants to watch the 2D version, damn it.
