[Move the maze]-run young boy

Dystopian story structure: The adult fictionalized a huge "worldwide" scam, with young people as experimental subjects, and finally the young people "successfully" resist and break through the story. Usually this kind of story or film will not only highlight the "experiment/game", but also set up the confrontation between minors and adults-minors have no control and voice in their lives, and the world is not under their control, so Reflected in the movies, it is often that minors are used by adults to do experiments or games, and then they stand out in panic and life crisis, and begin to hold (part of) the world in their own hands. In this film, the subjects in the maze are not strictly minors, but the above-mentioned model still works.

The maze is a strictly controlled experiment: the cage delivers supplies and newcomers on time, and the maze opens and closes on time. The wisdom in the secret room and the humanity in the closed space are the most charming and attractive story types in the independent space. Unfortunately, the film did not focus on the display and torture of human nature in a closed space, so it is impossible to bring back to the real society after watching the film or the shock of thoughts deep in the heart.

The design of the labyrinth in the film is still very imposing. It is huge in size and intricate. The forms of existence and movement of several regions are different. In addition, there are a large number of ghosts and beasts in the formation. Although the trajectory of the maze has traces to follow, it is designed and controlled by humans. The entire range of the maze is monitored by humans in all directions. Such a scene setting is an excellent match for the theme of suspense and puzzle solving. If you make good use of deep Digging, I believe that the degree of excitement will be doubled as the current film. It is a pity to think about it. Entering the maze is the highlight of the panoramic display of the maze. The escape part of the last two is thrilling and dangerous. The design of the blade area and the boulder flip are also refreshing, but the shortcoming is that the time is too short, and a few large areas are just passing by. If the characteristics of the eight regions can be presented one by one, the audience may have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the maze. The last escape from the labyrinth is also the climax of the whole film, but it is also the most antiquated place. Everyone is unimpeded in the maze, leading directly to the final pass. The only threat is a few brainless ghost beasts, instead of setting up elaborate puzzles, the only pass code is not difficult at all, so the role of the maze It has been weakened to almost zero, which is really regrettable for wasting such a good subject.

There is not much ink on the maze, and the director spends more time on rendering the characters and themes of the story. Speaking of this, I have to mention the movie adaptations of the best-selling teenagers that have become popular in recent years. Teen fan movies show a blowout trend. The setting of the background of the story is similar in the same way. The time of the event is all placed in the world after the reshuffle, breaking the current world pattern and laws, and formulating a series of new orders. The protagonist of the teenager, the coat of science fiction, the thrilling story, and the theme of shabby and new. They focused on the environment, living conditions, and psychological changes in which young people grew up, and told about their daring to break through themselves, break conventions, and challenge authority to save the world. When people analyze, evaluate and compare these youth novels, they always unanimously bring the theme into strong political metaphors, alluding to all kinds of hegemony and injustice in the world today. Therefore, these films always leave people with too much foreshadowing. The impression of less color and unclear plot. Maybe this is a sequel of the film deliberately, maybe the film wants to show that style, but it cannot be denied that they have already had a big impact on the growth of teenagers. I think this may be the reason that Hollywood is so keen to create. The ultimate goal of this phenomenon.

The Maze Runner quotes

  • Ava Paige: Hello. My name is Doctor Ava Paige. I'm Director of Operations of the World Catastrophe Killzone Department. If you're watching this, that means you've successfully completed the Maze Trials. I wish I could be there in person to congratulate you... but circumstances seem to have prevented it. I'm sure by now, you must all be very confused, angry, frightened. I can only assure you that everything that's happened to you, everything we've done to you, it was all done for a reason. You won't remember, but the sun has scorched our world. Billions of lives lost to fire, famine, suffering on a global scale. The fallout was unimaginable. What came after was worse. We called it the Flare, a deadly virus that attacks the brain. It is violent, unpredictable... incurable - or so we thought. In time, a new generation emerged that could survive the virus. Suddenly, there was a reason to hope for a cure, but finding it would not be easy. The young would have to be tested, even sacrificed, inside harsh environments, where their brain activity could be studied, all in an effort to understand what makes them different - what makes you different. You may not realize it, but you're very important. Unfortunately, your trials have only just begun. As you'll no doubt soon discover, not everyone agrees with our methods. Progress is slow, people are scared. It may be too late for us... for me... but not for you. The outside world awaits. Remember: Wicked is good.

Thomas continues to surprise and impress; and, for now, they seem to have taken the bait. It's too soon to say, but... they could be the key to everything. So let's move forward. It's time now to begin... Phase Two.
