Good art always asks questions, not answers.

I was surprised that the film was not rated very high. But when you sit down and think about it carefully, this is also reasonable. After all, many of you who rated it may not be the black-haired teenager who was so surprised that his face was red with "red and blue 3D glasses" at that time.

The most pleasing thing about her "Tomorrowland" is that she did not regard children as "low children", and she also tried to let our former children see who we were at that time. This is her greatest sincerity, as if a respectable adult is willing to bend down and throw infinite respect for those little cute people who haven't grown up yet.

What do we need most as a child? is respect.

"Mom, I want to play bumper cars too!"
"I'll talk when you grow up."
"Mom, I want to have a picnic with them!"
"I'll talk when you grow up."
"Mom, I want to ride a motorcycle too."
" I'll talk about it when you grow up."
"Mom, I want to rent DVDs!"
"Wait until you grow up."
"Mom, I want to buy a xx with my New Year's money!"
"I'll talk about it when you grow up, I'll first Keep it for you."

We heard too many words like this when we were kids. After Karl Lagerfeld became the chief director of Chanel, a reporter asked him: Do you miss your childhood? He replied: Not at all, I felt stupid when I was a kid, I wanted to grow up.

No one gets full respect when they are young. It is true that we take unnecessary risks when we are young, and parents and society worry that we are going in the wrong direction and have to tell us to "wait when you grow up". And in this movie, I believe that each of us has been a dashing teenager.

The teenage Casey was able to freely enter and leave NASA, and was familiar with various scientific knowledge. He only needed to exchange the electrodes to help his father complete the experiment. The protagonist Frank Walker, even in his childhood in the 1960s, made a personal jet suit and entered the world of tomorrow. I can't remember exactly which Olympics it was, and it was lit in this way. Although Athena is a robot, it is still a child's shape, making it possible for children to fall in love with "smarter and more beautiful" children's robots.

Casey was under the legal driving age, but he was able to drive. What a temptation this is.
Who wouldn't feel respect when he saw his neighbor's uncle driving a Beijing jeep when he was a child?

If I had to say, this movie didn't end well at all. I should understand the attitude of some viewers. It's like watching porn. Because pornographic films do not directly expose sensitive parts, the audience is not only "tickled", but also frustrated and bored because they cannot directly see the "critical parts". And this "Tomorrowland" is equivalent to a children's "erotic film", giving you some clues to the world of tomorrow, but it does not describe the world in detail, giving you infinite space for reverie. Think about it the other way around, if you watch AV (erotic films), everything is unmasked and put in front of you without any decoration, and it may not make you bored, which is why you have to watch porn every time. The reason for a new one. Such films can only be called "phenomenon", not "art".

And pornography can be called art, because art always asks questions, not answers. Art is "to provoke", not "to give". If the film had a strong ending and focused on depicting the new look of tomorrow's world, I think, then it's hiding in the mold of some old sci-fi, and there's nothing new at all. I thought that her charm was because she didn't give the "what you want" ending.

Tomorrow's world asks us a lot of questions: As the planet is getting worse, what can we do? Two wolves, which one do we keep? Are we going to be dreamers? What will the world of tomorrow look like? I haven't seen enough yet. .

Writing here, I can understand her sincerity better. She did not regard these young audiences as "idiots who don't understand art", but in a way that you can definitely understand my "art", my "technology". Sense" tone is telling the story.

She's been nominated for some "Teen" favorite awards, which seems to confirm my opinion even more.

Children, children with machine bodies, old children, as long as the children like it, the film will be done. And spread countless "seeds of dreams" in the hearts of children, this is a very great theme movie.

Want to see the new look of tomorrow's world? Keep being a dreamer.

Tomorrowland quotes

  • [last lines]

    Casey Newton: [voice over] First order of business... get the door back open. Couldn't hurt to get a few experienced engineers over here. Next...

    Frank Walker: [voice over] Put the party back on... and print out some new invitations.

    [Now cut to Frank and Casey speaking in front of an audience of androids like Athena]

    Frank Walker: Which brings us to why we're here today. A year ago, it was all supposed to be over... we shouldn't even be here, but we are. It isn't hard to knock down a big, evil building that's telling everybody that the world's going to end. What is hard... is figuring out what to build in its place, and if we're going to do that... we can't do it alone. We're going to need all of you...

    Young British Recruiter: [raises his hand] Frank Walker. May I ask a question?

    Frank Walker: Sure!

    Young British Recruiter: The search parameters you've given us, while mathematically sound, are a bit... undefined. Could you be more specific, please?

    Frank Walker: Well, Miss Newton. You want to tell our recruiters what they're looking for?

    Casey Newton: Dreamers... we are looking for dreamers. Anyone who will feed the right wolf.

    [start handing out cases of Tomorrowland buttons]

    Frank Walker: So... I once told your predecessor that she was nothing but a combination of ones and zeroes. I was wrong. She was much more than that. You are much more than that, too. So, go out there and do she would've done. Find the ones who haven't given up. They're the future.

  • Athena: There are things I need to tell you before the final... before the automated program kicks in. I'm a machine, I never thought that was bad until I saw your face when you found out I was.

    Frank Walker: I always knew...

    Athena: No you didn't...

    Computer Voice: Systems failing. Activating last thoughts saved for Frank Walker.

    [Voice-Over]

    Athena: Log 15. September. 1965. Frank Walker is looking at me in a manner that is difficult to recognize. It seems imperative to explain to him that I'm an audio-animatronic...

    Frank Walker: Athena...

    Athena: ...But I'm concerned that he may be adversely affected when he finds out that I'm not human. He has potential. I don't want to damage it. He needs someone to believe in him and I am fulfilling that need. He's my top recruit. Log 24. October. 1965. I'm having unusual thoughts towards Frank Walker. I suspect a flaw in my empathy interface. I'm thinking I should report it... but I haven't. I cannot explain why. Log 78. April. 1984. Frank Walker has been banished by Governor Nix. He says he's lost hope and he holds me responsible for having given it to him in the first place. I do not understand this. He says I never will, because I do not feel anger... or disappointment... or love.

    Computer Voice: End recording.

    Athena: I was designed to find dreamers... I found you... and lost you. But I found her... Casey. Dreamers need to stick together. It's not programming, it's personal.
