Uma desperately escapes a paradise paradise, time and time again.
What kind of paradise is imagined, with flowers and grass, the sky is clear, pure and flawless. "Paradise Mountain" is such a place that can satisfy all people's imagination of "heaven".
The movie Paradise Hills, Chinese translation of "Paradise Hills", is the feature debut of Spanish female director Alice Waddington. It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
The film was nominated for the Future Innovation Award at the Film Festival. This only award-winning record deserves its name. Appreciating this film should indeed be viewed from the perspective of "future innovation". Instead of evaluating and examining them as pure fantasy, science fiction or suspense films.
Or as a brain hole film, it is also very good, but the exciting part is too short. The whole film is 95 minutes long, and the really exciting scenes only start at the last 30 minutes, and then the plot with a huge amount of information is rushed forward.
Many viewers who have seen it said that they will see the shadow of other movies, and I also think of one, which is also "We" released this year. Two seemingly indistinguishable people have one high and one low social status, and one rich and one poor living standard.
But there are still essential differences between real humans and clones. The former is a human and the latter is a robot. In terms of setting, it is quite different from the former. Aside from the gloomy tones, the film creates a fresher atmosphere under the bright and dreamy tone - gorgeous horror, luxurious horror.
Paradise Mountain is actually a high-end sanatorium, run by a noble lady who looks very self-cultivation. This huge manor is located on an isolated island, isolated and fragrant.
Many rich people send their daughters here so that they can all become "better versions of themselves". What is a "better self" is the perfect person imagined by parents.
Some let fat girls become models, some let rappers become classical musicians, some let singers become pure stars, and some parents asked for something simpler, that is, let their daughters agree to marry a richer person, the heroine Wu. Ma is the last case.
The person in charge is very capable, and she can ensure that every girl who is sent here to be transformed can become the "better self" in the hearts of their parents. Nursing homes have a 100 percent success rate, not a single time.
This kind of path for parents to send them to a place for the sake of their children reminds people of the place that made Internet addicts terrified. At that time, they also said that the curative effect was very good, and the parents were very satisfied.
At the beginning, you also thought that the transformation method of Paradise Mountain was relatively gentle and not so shocking. It was nothing more than the ordinary "brainwashing" courses such as playing small videos in a loop, doing Lajin and doing yoga.
Until the last 30 minutes, all the calm and peaceful moment was broken. The reason why the manager can guarantee 100% success in the transformation is not whether the course is effective or not, and whether the students cooperate or not, but because there is another candidate for this "better self".
Groups of girls from the bottom are constantly undergoing physical transformation and learning required by their parents. From iris to vocal cords, from eyes to lips, two people who had nothing to do with each other met in this paradise mountain. Pores can all be the same.
When a girl is told to finish the treatment and come out of the mountain, it is actually the day she leaves this world, her parents will pick up a "better self", a girl who has no blood relationship, looks and sounds the same, but changed it. All the bad habits before, is a perfect person.
The previous processes were used as a guise to collect samples from real people, so that this replica of a living person could be 100% restored. They are different from clones, but after dozens of painful surgeries, they are remodeled alive.
After watching "Paradise Mountain", you may no longer want to say "to be a better version of yourself", maybe you are more willing to believe that you are good as you are.
