——【If the director stops curtis in front of the perpetual motion machine, then this film is a dark political satire. But he didn't, so what finally appeared in front of the audience was an epic. 】It’s







rare to have such a diligent film as soon as it is released. Give yourself and your friends a thumbs up first! [

Before the mud brush, I saw that some fast friends commented on the unevenness of the level, which is still a bit worried, but perhaps the relationship between the standards has been lowered, but I feel unexpectedly praise!

The overall plot is not outlined. After reading some popular science posts, the director extracted some points of several comics for his own use, forming a more comprehensive and specific history in the movie. For example, the repeated riots in the tail car ended in failure and became the main line of the movie. Played a paving role. Of course, some unscientific points in comic books have also been carried over, such as perpetual motion machines. . . Some people even think that the appearance of the poor in the tail car on this doomsday train is itself unscientific. In fact, first of all, let’s not say that the purpose of this train itself is a miniaturization of human social ecology [if you want to dig out the details, you don’t have to watch any science fiction movies, okay?], and according to Wilford [hereinafter referred to as W] philosophy, the poor class is also ecological Part. The upper class needs the poor, just as the earth needs the smallest flying insects. Noah also brought mosquitoes when he boarded the boat, so now Lao Tzu is bitten terribly every summer [.

It's just that the train's restoration of human society is relatively polarized. Movies and comics, exaggeration is an art. I originally complained about where the middle class had gone, but later discovered that it might have been washed by the blood of the leading box and locked in the rear box. It is estimated that the former poor class before the great ice and snow changes have long been buried under the snow. Can a society with only the upper class and the poor class remain stable? Of course not, Marx has long taught us that class contradiction is the first of all contradictions, so in this film proletarians from all over the world unite! 【Fog

Of course, the director finally revealed that this kind of opposing fight is actually done by two big hands to kill, in order to maintain balance and control the population. However, it is estimated that one of the big players, Lao Ji, has gradually realized the pitfall of this concept with the audience, so he cultivated curtis and asked him to replace W to lead the train. [Evidence 1, Old Ji said that if you see that guy, don’t listen to what he said, go straight up and cut your tongue. Not only is he worried that curtis will discover the truth is not guaranteed, but also worried that the blow will be too great. Taking advantage of the three perspectives, all of Lao Tzu’s hopes are lost ry] [Evidence 2, Lao Ji has always said that you want to become the leader, instead of W] I

have to say that the director, screenwriter and author are very good, and the suspense set up before For example, the child’s whereabouts, such as the origin of the informant's note, such as curtis's arm, will be answered perfectly one by one later, and there will be no feeling of shaking over the burden.

It turns out that Lao Ji did not miss curtis. Even under the subversive blow of knowing the truth, he still did not completely collapse. Some people say that curtis should be blackened, please let me sneer at this statement. How can a 35-year-old man with firm will be able to change in a few words? But he was also a person, so he hesitated and struggled, and even coldly stopped the little girl Yona. [More because he thought it was crazy to blow up the door] But when he discovered that the children in the tail car were used as parts, his hesitation immediately ended [All for the children! [Daiwu], because of his commitment to his comrades, his regret and atonement for the past, but also because of his bottom line-he is unwilling to play the role of God, don't forget that he is even unwilling to become the leader of the insurgents.

This is in line with the development of the character's personality. The director's concept of humanity and tenacity can be seen from "Han River Monster". In the 18 years since the train has been running, W has been playing the role of God, replacing the hands of nature with manpower to clean up the population and maintain the ecological balance within the train. However, he forgot that even if he invented an unscientific thing like perpetual motion machine, he is still a person. The most notable thing is that in the classroom carriage, the pregnant teacher packaged W as a savior to brainwash the children [How did alison pill always play such an unpleasant role ry], at that time I couldn’t help thinking that this train really restored human society. , Not even religion.

[Speaking of perpetual motion machines have been invented, still worry about global warming? He also knew that there was a problem with the refrigerants launched by various countries? This shouldn't be the conspiracy of W's play god [Hey, your brain is too big!

And Curtis is a far cry from this pretentious and ruthless inventor. He will sacrifice his comrades in order to achieve his goal [oooo little bell woooooo], but he will feel guilty and angry, not like it is just some numbers for W, or for Mason, it is just another wonderful The performance of this woman, the taste of this woman is like the ancient Romans. This has fundamentally distinguished him from W. curtis has humanity. [W repeatedly mentioned humanity in what he said to curtis, and this was precisely what he abandoned. He was the warrior who went to slay the dragon, but he didn't incarnate into another dragon after seeing Jinshan. If there are such people in our world, it will be very lucky.

For me, the most impressive thing in the whole film is actually the two shots. One is that when the bomb exploded, the director pulled a distant view. The mountains were majestic, with only white snow in the eyes. There was no spark of the explosion or even the train. The sound of the explosion was just a faint echo in the valley. The second shot is that the girl who was born on the train and never stepped on the ground tried to sink her feet into the snow for the first time, as if Noah brought her sons back to the ground for the first time after the flood receded, or more A little longer, human ancestors stood up from the sea for the first time and set foot on land.

The film starts with deep black and gray tones, transitions from colorful tones, and finally returns to white. White symbolizes the beginning, and the child symbolizes the future, even if the future is harsh. [By the way, the combination of an Asian woman and a black child cannot be more politically correct =L=] However, human beings can only march towards the unknown and return to nature. Who made you die early? The train's round-the-world travel lasted for 18 years, and the circle was finally broken. After breaking and standing, the director did not copy the original work and the train went round and round. The perpetual motion machine was always non-stop, carrying unchanging humanity towards the final hell ending, but the hope left in the ending.

Of course, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied with this ending┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍just like some people think that curtis is blackened. I discussed with my friends and said that the director is not blackened when shooting curtis. Some people will shout "Heroism!" You have rioted so many times and went back to cheating!" "You show me this after two hours of rioting!" "cliche!"

Well, it's hard to adjust _(:з」∠)_


In addition, we also discussed anti- The climax flipped the setting, and then somehow dragged it onto TDKR. . . Let's discuss this issue in the next article. . .
