Aliens - Spielberg's Favorite Toy

Spielberg is almost the Asimov of Hollywood, who has produced or personally filmed many sci-fi films, many of which are classics. Such as "ET", such as "AI", such as "Encounter of the Third Kind", these films are not only good-looking, but also have other profound meanings. In contrast, "Taken" can only be regarded as a very good story, after all, TV shows are different from movies. However, the sophistication of the production of this series is beyond words. It adopts the mode that each of the 10 episodes is shot by a director. It is estimated that those directors are also filmed as movies. When I watched Brothers, I was almost dumbfounded, and then I realized that TV series can be filmed in
this way. The production level of this film is even better than that of Brothers. 10 episodes will cost more than 40 million US dollars, which is enough for us to make all the emperors, elder brothers, concubines, queen mothers, eunuchs, and minions in the Qing Dynasty either pretend to be serious, or close their eyes and "jokingly" to shoot him over and over again. Dozens of back and forth.

The story has gone through three generations and spanned half a century. If you read it in one go, it will still be quite ups and downs, and the feeling will be dark and bright, and you will feel a bit heartwarming after the aftertaste. The first few episodes are suspenseful and exciting. The middle episodes are a bit dull, but they are well connected to the front and back. The plot clues of the characters are all delicate and complete, and there is no leakage. It plays an excellent role in linking the above. In the last few episodes, the mystery of the aliens is gradually revealed, the fate of the characters gradually becomes clear, and the storyline that runs through the entire episode gradually reaches a climax. This is a TV show that has been technically perfected.

The performance of child star Dakota Fanning in the last few episodes is definitely the highlight of the show, bringing together the joy, innocence, fear, sorrow, kindness and wisdom of a super-powered mixed-race (earth and alien) little girl They are all portrayed penetratingly and impressively. It is another acting child star discovered by Hollywood after Hally Joel Osment ("Forrest Gump", "The Sixth Sense", "AI"). In the upcoming release of Spielberg's "War of the Worlds", her collaboration with Tom Cruise is exciting.
