Geek's cuteness, worldly absurdity

I must have watched this movie with my brother before. But every movie I watched with my brother is like this: he showed his sharp teeth, and said so cutely, this movie is good, sister, come and watch it. Then, I pulled the fast-forward bar and only played a few of the most interesting clips to me. In this way, I watched "Resident Evil", "Transformers", and "Journey to the West", so none of the films like this are my favorite, including "Mars Plays Around the Earth".

I have seen Sarah Jessica Parker’s head glued to a puppy, but I didn’t recognize this as the woman I’ve always liked, nor did I know that the director of this film was Tim Burton. These two names are important to me, and I never thought there was a connection between them. It's like discovering that Sanmao wrote "Rolling Red Dust" telling the story of Zhang Ailing, and later discovered that she was the promoter of the Taiwan version of Agatha Christie's Detective Collection. This connection always makes me happy.

So this time like holding my favorite chocolate in the palm of my hand, after watching this film with my breath, this is my eternal expectation of Tim Burton. There is no surprise to me like the Penguin episode of "Batman", there is no "Sweeney Todd" and "Driftwood Valley" that have been bloody to the bottom of my heart, and there is no such thing as "Zombie Bride" and "Big Fish" that can make me accept Warmth. Very Tim Burton, really good, but not excited. However, I have never regarded "Edward Scissorhands" as a classic, so the taste has always been biased.

In this movie, I want to talk about the director's personal mark: A horror and banter will always get along with each other. It is completely the narrative method of disaster films. "2012" and "The Day After Day" are almost all narrated in this way, but there is no worry, no fear in this film, and death is also a joyful part of the narrative. B multiple reversals. For example, the Martians say they love peace, but never keep their promises. Finally, the president no longer feared death, made generous speeches and shook hands with joy. The result was quack, and he was still dead. The Martians are not strong, and it is music that defeats them. C picture sense. The same hue as Scissorhands, and I obviously love this one more.

Tim Burton does as always: always discover the loneliness of bad guys, the cuteness of geeks, and the absurdity of the world, and then put them together without comment, like colorful rainbow candy. Leave a joking but warm praise for love and nature. The grand narrative is irrelevant to the dull, but it is a fun mobilization of all the elements, unexpectedly, and stimulate the taste buds.

    All kinds of bloody movies, can this be considered science fiction? ? ? ? Having said that, this Martian is ugly enough, who made it?

    Many years later, I learned that it was Uncle Burton's film. When I was a child, I was deeply imprinted by the strange high-pitched tone. I thought that I would not be afraid of encountering aliens in the future. I also fantasized about a certain teacher from Mars for a while. When she arrives, she sings silently to scare away the Martians

Mars Attacks! quotes

  • Professor Donald Kessler: We know they're extremely advanced technologically, which suggests - very rightfully so - that they're peaceful. An advanced civilization, by definition, is not barbaric.

  • Barbara Land: Do you have to drink in front of me?

    Art Land: You're an adult. Cope.
