How did the failure come about? First of all, if the original novel of PDJames is set to lose fertility in 2027, I really want to thank God, the current world population has already exceeded 6 billion, and the third world is still pressing When time is desperately creating life to resist death, this theory is nothing more than a joke. Although science fiction is science fiction, if you want to really warn the world, you must feel an urgent threat, but the threat I feel is this story. It’s the opposite direction, so it’s impossible to be fully engaged in the beginning.
Secondly, in the 1984-style society and the end of the human world, people who watch sci-fi movies have already seen too much, and this apocalypse of Alfonso Cuarón really has no surprises. I would rather look back. Go to "Twelve Monkeys" or "Brazil" and you will find that Alfonso can't really feel the gloom, so the world he created is the gloom created by others, not the gloom of his own heart. Speaking of the dark apocalypse, I suddenly thought of Lars von Trilogy's "European Trilogy". The darkness in it has a magic that makes people unable to breathe. Of course, the Danish director's uplifting art abandons commercial The approach is not comparable to Alfonso Cuarón's work.
There is also the chaos of the plot. In some places, Alfonso deliberately arranges for the audience to reverie, but the feeling in front of the screen is the same. The climax of the plot development on the main line of the escape is very messy, which makes people feel an irregular mood. The curve of the movie is very uncomfortable. It is too entangled in the creation of the desperate end of the world. Instead, it abandons the rigorous plot development and makes the audience feel more incompatible with the movie. This is why everyone is definitely more willing to watch "Terminator" in the same escape drama that chooses righteous heroes to protect the future hope of mankind.
The only thing left to say is probably the actors. Of course, the pseudo-hero Clive Owen is really nothing commendable. I knew from the moment he appeared that he must have finished his mission and died satisfactorily. Julianne Moore JJ is very good, but the few shots in the play make this powerful cold beauty character very vivid. The most gratifying thing is this retired government official with a hippie style portrayed by Michael Caine. He carefully takes care of his dementia wife, allowing each guest to experience his strawberry-flavored cigarettes, and at the end he told his wife that I am After loving you, I chose to sacrifice myself for the hope of preserving mankind. Grandpa Caine and his London accent made this character engraved in people's hearts. I have to say that Grandpa is really an old drama bone, which is my biggest surprise in this movie.
If the boat in the ending of "Son of Man" borrowed the legend of Noah’s Ark to suggest the fate of human beings rescued (the name of the stupid ship named "Tomorrow" disappointed me completely), I would rather hope it really looks like Like the Bible, let the flood wash away all the sins of mankind. Of course, don't forget that the only people on the boat were Noah's family, and the other positions were reserved for other creatures. If the earth only relies on humans, there is only a ruin left.
