Caprice

There is a movie called Weixing. This movie and Alien are the works of the same period. The two movies have a certain similarity in concept. Both are about events after alien species broke into the human group. Alien considers an alien species with high IQ and aggressiveness, while Alien assumes an alien monster that can be disguised as a human (predecessor of "parasitic beast"?). From a setting point of view, I prefer the latter. The reason is that once monsters become humans, the game between people and the psychological factors of people are added, the drama and depth of the movie will be greatly increased, a monster version and then there were none turned out. However, the development of the strange form has not been as full of reasoning and game as I expected. It is a pity that it unilaterally approaches the plot of the alien.
From the perspective of sci-fi, the setting of environment and conditions is an important fermentation factor to ensure the orderly progress of the story. Some classic sci-fi will work hard on the arrangement of story scenes. For example, the science fiction subjects I like can often see scenes like isolated islands, spaceships, foggy manors, or simply being trapped in closed spaces such as isolation from the outside society. For open scenes, it is often used to shoot large-scale disastrous science fiction films. However, it is difficult for this type of science fiction film to produce good works, because there are too many factors to consider in such a setting. For a storyline type movie, the depth is certainly not as good as the former. Another very important thing is the setting of the characters, the symbolization and diversification of the character's personality, so that the development of the story can be more three-dimensional. Through the natural reaction of the characters, the plot develops naturally. Therefore, the human factor is very important. Many classic sci-fi finally discuss the problem of human beings. Who am I, where do I come from, and where do I go?
One thing we cannot ignore is that film is a form of expression. Any story on the screen benefits from the movie but is limited by the movie. The attraction of the movie is that the audience has a strong sense of substitution, which brings a deeper sensory experience. So if a movie has exquisite pictures and shocking sound effects, it will be a good work if the audience is awakened from a dream. Movies often use expressions and renderings to portray the inner world of characters. If you want to show logical reasoning, you need to use dialogue. Works like "This Man Comes from the Earth" purely rely on dialogue to build plots are commendable. It is even more difficult if you want to show the game of a group of people in a movie. Therefore, when film directors weigh these factors, they must be limited by the form of the movie. In addition, movies need financial support, so they often have to compromise on public tastes. If you think about it this way, you can figure it out if you don't understand it.
Finally, the impression left by this film is that the dog played well.
