On the other hand, although I have neither watched "The Hunger Games" nor "Divergent", I very much agree with their worldviews and believe that our world will face a similar predicament one day, because violence is the foundation of human nature. Survival is the foundation of the problem. Because of this, I don't care about any dystopian works. In contrast, I am more willing to explore the infinitely possible future technology or the mysterious universe with my innocent and curious eyes.
But the reason why "Moving Labyrinth" attracted me to watch is that a group of teenagers actually lived in the mountains and forests for three years, and while living while constantly trying to find a way out, thinking about it should be more interesting than "Battle Royale."
In fact, the film did not have any shocking originality. The design of the maze and monsters was not cool enough, and the relationship between the characters was not complicated enough. It was a complete youth film. The only thing I envy in the movie is their lives. It may be a bit tougher in winter, but they are self-sufficient by weaving and plowing the land, and there are boxes to give them supplies, and they can go into the maze if they have nothing to do. What a monster, it looks good.
Although there is nothing too exciting about the movie, it has done a good job in creating suspense and solving puzzles. The plot has been advancing all the time, but in the second half it began to be slightly procrastinated. Since the girl appeared, the movie has been trying to explain that. It is difficult to explain a clear worldview. However, in my opinion, the reasons why the children are desperately breaking through the maze are not sufficient. They are neither fully confident nor well prepared. These manifestations are exceptionally thin in the plot, just like being aspirational for the sake of inspiration and taking risks for the sake of adventure. Adventure, perhaps this is the lack of depth in the story itself.
Let’s talk about a few more protagonists, they are all so young, not to mention their acting skills, mostly because the story does not give them room to play, but at least each is very beautiful, this is true. I especially like O’Brien. His performance on the big screen is also smooth and comfortable. He is a young actor with comfortable facial features. I hope I can see him in more movies in the future. I saw Sangster’s performance for the first time, a typical British male. The face of the actor, the photography made him look beautiful from various angles, and it is fascinating to see him; of course, the actresses of Gongyue are also beautiful.
In the end, I couldn't help but replenish the picture: pastoral scenery, indulgent pastoral songs, girls and teenagers (theirs) multiply and thrive freely... I still feel a little excited when I think about it.
