Escape

A very popular new film, the box office in the first week of its release in North America is second only to "Zoo City", ranking second with $25.2 million. The reason for such good results must be inseparable from the reputation accumulated in the "Clover Archives" that year. Many sci-fi fans are eagerly looking forward to the sequel to "Clover's Archives", and finally waited for another movie with "Clover" in the name after eight years. But in fact, as the producer JJ Abrams said, this film is not a sequel, but with the same blood. It can also be said that it is a sister story born under the same framework.

The feeling after watching the movie today is also the same. The film is indeed very similar to "Clover Archives" in creating suspense, setting off the atmosphere, and appetizing the audience. However, the content has nothing to do with the previous work, and the photography style is no longer used in handheld. The first-person view of the camera. If the film is divided by genre, it is definitely a hodgepodge, including elements such as secret rooms/suspense/thriller/sci-fi/disaster, but also a bit brain-burning. In addition, this is actually the debut of the rookie director Dan Trachtenberg. Although it is escorted by the great gods, it is also a great debut.

The best part of the film is the script and the wonderful performance of the two leading actors. One of the screenwriters of this film is Chazelle, the director and screenwriter of "Burst Drummer". He tells the story of a secret room with twists and turns. The plot is constantly reversed and then reversed. It is really impossible to relax for a moment. And John Goodman and the hostess Mary Elizabeth Winstead gave the audience an excellent performance. Goodman borrowed his huge body to successfully show the inner activities of a prisoner and the terrible The desire to control etc. The female protagonist has a delicate appearance, but she is actually smart and clever. She knows how to do a gas mask, unlock the lock and fight monsters. Together with another actor, John Gallaher, Jr., the two together will take up more than half of the film's ups and downs in the secret room, making the scenes amazing.

In fact, this film has some similarities with the previous hit "Room". Except that both are the themes of the secret room, the encounter after escaping from the secret room is also interesting. In "The Room", the hostess faced all kinds of pressure from the media, family, and social ethics after she escaped. These were also things she didn't expect when she was imprisoned, which led to her emotional breakdown for a period of time, in a sense. This is also the "monster" she faces from the outside world; and in this film, it goes without saying that the heroine has been in doubt as to whether there is any danger from the outside world when she was imprisoned. When she went out, she discovered that there really was a monster.

Then let's talk about the ending part, which involves spoilers, please read carefully.

I personally think that the ending is a little bit abrupt, and the appearance of the alien monster is understandable, but it is a bit speechless to be killed by the heroine. . . In fact, I think if the ending is changed to the heroine who thinks she has escaped from birth, she comes out and finds an alien monster, and then is killed by the monster, then this film is a god-made film, which is similar to "The Mist".

Because I was not satisfied with the ending, I scored four stars.

By the way, after watching the movie, I discovered that Bradley Cooper's name was actually in the cast. Then I wondered where there were three leading actors. I thought about it for a while before I realized that he was acting in a voice. . .
