Brief description of the three versions

The movie has a vaguely George Orwell's "1984" feel, the huge and pedantic state machine that always feels familiar. The background setting of the film is somewhat similar to Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys" in the future, and the rough and messy science fiction feels exactly the same. Of course, another highlight of the film is the bizarre creation of the dream world. Although it is absurd, the metaphor is not difficult to understand. The use of light and shadow in photography is also excellent.
Talking about the differences between several versions, the CC Director's Cut is undoubtedly the most complete depiction of whimsy and dreams, but it has a certain influence on the rhythm of the film, which is slow, while the "Love Conquere All" version is compact Many, more like a commercial film, of course, the essence of those films is basically gone, and the ending is too good. As for the theatrical version, most of the content is the same as the director's cut version, but the order and arrangement of the dream part are not the same, and some plots have also been reduced.

    Gilliam's wildly exaggerated dystopian dirty sci-fi. The depiction of the oppressive and boring totalitarianism and bureaucracy contrasts sharply with the hero's dream of saving beauty. Primitive and clumsy pipes and the cult of middle-aged and elderly women show the tedium and horror of technocracy. Pipeline delivery is the same as [1984] [Stealing a Kiss], ending with a round-up tribute to the Odessa stairs. After the bombing of the intelligence department building, the sky of documents and De Niro were glued to the paper and disappeared. (8.5/10)
