To put it simply, this "Interstellar Agent: City of a Thousand Planets" is a movie with a big heart and a thin life. The director has a lot of ideas to say, but his ability is really degraded, and there is no suitable means to express it. Well, I will talk about some of the specific defects in the director's filming later. Let me first talk about the connotation of this movie, that is, what the director wants to express. How crazy!
The following is a simple replacement for this movie with star workers. The main line of the movie is bright and dark. The bright line is that the hero and heroine are ordered to find a strange creature, find it and bring it back. It turns out that there is some conspiracy inside. The dark line is a foreshadowing at the beginning, and then it is the destroyed primitive star. Here I use the blue man to replace the primitive star in the play that I did not remember. They fled to Alpha - the city of a thousand stars, and then tried to restore their homes. , and then run away story.
Well, let's not talk about the director's technique here, anyway, it's really very sleepy, and it's not easy to stick to a movie of more than 2 hours.
Let’s talk about the connotation of this movie. The key points of the director’s connotation thoughts are the following parts: The first is the foreshadowing at the beginning: the original blue people live on the mother star, just play happily every day, and then The planet was destroyed by the wreckage of the spacecraft that fell from the sky. Here, the beauty of the parent star and the countless wreckage fireballs that fell from the sky were exaggerated. A stark contrast gave the beginning a tragic atmosphere.
The second key is that when the main line and the dark line progress to the second half, the plot gradually becomes clear. It turns out that human beings fought a war near the blue man's home planet 30 years ago, and the blue man's home star was implicated and destroyed. Here , here, here comes the real intentional expression of the director: that is, the blue people are explaining that their home planet was destroyed, 700 million compatriots were killed, and the blue people of their own race were wearing the only dozens or hundreds of surviving The tribesmen survived, and in the next 30 years, they learned the words and technology of the cosmic age from a primitive group, and they were sent to the hometown of the murderer---Alpha Thousand Stars by coincidence. city!
Then, here comes the key!
We blue people don't hate you murderers anymore, earth human, we don't hate you anymore, even if you kill us 700 million, even if you destroy our home planet, we only need to love now! ! ! !
The third key is also the extension of the second key. When the blue people confronted the mastermind who ordered the destruction of the planet: Commander (sorry, I really have no impression of this disgraced man), the commander's rebuttal : The economic form of the Alpha City of a Thousand Planets has been bad for so many years, and now there is a big scandal in which the blue man's mother planet was destroyed by us humans. If this scandal is exposed, then we humans will be finished, the economy will be finished, humanity will be finished. May be expelled from the country, anyway, everything my commander does is for human beings, Bara Bara and the like~~~
Then, the patriarch of the blue man said something, it can be said that the director is in this 137-minute crap film One of the meanings that I want to express the most, I borrowed the blue man patriarch to say: You are afraid of yourself, and you are unwilling to forgive your past. . .
Hehe, at this point, the connotation of the director of this film has been expressed. Simply put, it means that forgiveness is nobler than hatred. Simply put, it means that you can kill me for millions. I still forgive you, because we blue people Kindness and nobility, it is suggested to recall with the director at the beginning deliberately rendering the blue man's innocence, carefree, and beautiful beyond heaven when he was on his mother star.
You can see it, who are the blue people talking about?
Isn't it their European white lotus! Isn't it the thought expressed in the wonderful French bestseller "You'll Never Get My Hate": Although my relatives were killed during the Lulu refugee riot, I still believe in no hatred, but love. To be inclusive, use roses instead of bullets, Bara Bara or something!
So after seeing this, everyone knows why this 137-minute movie is so awkward after watching it. Our Chinese brains are really not the same thought circuit as their French white lotus.
Why don't we hate you, you killed millions of my compatriots, you destroyed the planet we have lived on for hundreds of millions of years, and you still have no regrets, and you say it's all for your own survival.
Because, we are noble and kind~
Hehe~ The
director also used the mouth of the blue patriarch to advise: You humans are just afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as you forgive yourself, we will forgive you. . . .
How bizarre! !
At this time, I had to think of the refugee crisis in Germany and France. A group of refugees fled to Europe. As refugees, they were unwilling to do low-paying jobs. They also said, "We are guests invited by Merkel." Supported by White Lotus, the refugees rioted in the streets, raped, robbed, and committed all kinds of crimes. The handling of such obvious illegal acts has been controversial within European countries. Some people have been advocating tolerance and love, so much so that they have passed the law. Red lines are ignored.
The destruction of Europe by the white left is no joke.
After talking about so many thoughts, I get confused, and let’s talk about the poor technique of film directors. This is the main reason why I heard most of the people talking about being sleepy after I left the movie theater.
I now doubt whether the previous magical film "The Fifth Element" was directed by him!
This film is really messed up in terms of rhythm, plot, and performance. Of course, it cannot be said that the actors are mainly responsible. This film is a soap opera that performs a clumsy love farce under the skin of science fiction, and the director is mainly responsible!
The art of film is really similar to music. It needs to be high and peaceful and harmonious, and each link needs to have ups and downs. Does this film have it? Yes, it is really wrong to say that there is no, but it is a pity that their humor, we mortals do not understand.
The accent at the beginning is amazing, and then it suddenly jumps to the bloody hero and heroine arguing about the ex-girlfriend's photo. Of course, this kind of shit can be lengthened in the director's opinion. It doesn't matter if the subsequent note is boring, anyway, I can Repeat at the end of the credits as a foreshadowing.
If you have this kind of understanding, the director will really do a 720-degree front-flip and then a 980-degree backflip, kneeling and thanking him: In this world, bosom friends are rare! With you, everything is enough!
Unfortunately, most people don't have the ability to understand you, Director.
After the amazing beginning, the tedious and embarrassing flirting of men and women drives the plot, not to say that it is impossible, but the male protagonist plays every minute, and there are so many (at least 100 on the cabin wall at that time) male agents of his girlfriends. He looks like an 18-year-old, and he also deliberately shows a chic and bad ruffian style, which is really too dramatic.
When it comes to performance, I think the heroine is okay, but the most impressive thing is the stage performance by Rihanna, which is really amazing. The costumes and performances of various styles can be called the second dimension of this movie. The benefits, (the other is, of course, very good-looking special effects).
Compared with the "Wolf Warrior 2" I watched last time, I believe that most of my friends who like movies have seen it. The rhythm handling, the interspersed jokes and the driving of the atmosphere in this movie are really more than a little bit worse.
In terms of film technology, we have to admit that "Wolf Warrior 2" is not the top in Hollywood, and there is still potential to be tapped, but the rhythm processing of Wolf Warrior 2 is completely first-class movement!
A movie with a good rhythm is like a good music. There are high and fierce intensity, and there are peaceful and soothing whispers. The 120 minutes of Wolf Warrior is really just in rhythm, and it is not sleepy at all. The memory of the protagonist is used as a clear line to promote the rhythm, and it is also a grass snake and gray line, without leaving a bit of jerky, although I always thought that Wu Jing deliberately let the male lead have sex scenes and kiss scenes, I represent the majority of male compatriots extremely despise this kind of behavior, Of course, it's more of envy and jealousy.
Not to mention the slow pace of the emotional main line of the film Interstellar Agent, there are even problems with photography! What is science fiction? It is a film that gives you countless imaginations and unleashes your imagination. As a result, the filming of emotional scenes still uses the same old-fashioned film techniques, which is completely behind the times. Maybe the director is still addicted to the shooting techniques of French literary films in the last world. Bar.
If Xinggong reduced the length of the emotional scene by 25%, the lens would be changed to a sharp rhythm, and a wide-angle lens with a large angle of view would shoot the exterior scene and the interior scene of the Alpha City of a Thousand Stars, and at the same time interact with the various flying cars of "The Fifth Element", and add some more. Interesting stories about the lives of aliens and human beings on earth, then it will completely bring the rhythm!
In addition, at this point, I am reminded of a plot in Starcraft. The human hero found out that the heroine was captured by a group of savage and ugly aliens in the Alpha city, and he could rob someone by running over a few shots. The rhythm of walking, on the contrary, has to take into account the "No Aliens Entering" policy of the savage and ugly alien race, that is, prohibiting humans and all other planets from entering their area.
As an agent of the city's supervisory race, when his fellow agent was threatened with life, he couldn't force his way in to save the person? ? What kind of cosmic city manager is this? No wonder your French green community is so arrogant, they all learned from you.
