"It doesn't look like the film was made by a foreigner."
"why?"
"Foreigners can't write such stories. Their stories are more crisp and neat. The highs are highs, and the lows are lows. But here, I always feel that there is a kind of unobvious but everywhere feeling coherent throughout the film."
"Indeed, the story was written by the Chinese."
Now the demand for new things in Chinese movies has dropped a lot, not only movies, but almost all fields of literature and art. Everyone is watching their feelings and watching a bunch of cultures that need to be recovered reappear in front of their eyes. This is backward Look. Therefore, for many new things that are tried in China, everyone is not optimistic, because everyone's eyes are not in front, but behind their heads, naturally they can't see those only in front, but they can still hear, so They can squirt, they can scold, they can hear others squirting, but they won't watch it. In fact, there are too many feelings that attract the attention of Chinese people. Even a film like "The Wandering Earth" is nothing more than a praise and emotion for "the prosperity and national strength of modern Chinese society". Of course, it is about the earth as home. The ingredients are more than just.
Let's talk about this movie. If you haven't read the runaway comics and are not a senior fan of the runaway event, then you are missing one of the three emotions in this movie, but it doesn't matter. To promote positive energy with a humorous and ironic attitude, this is a kind of uncompromising life, this is passed on from Wang Nima to Mai, the heroine of the story is such a person, of course she is not humorous, she actually has no merit, and Like most of her peers in the society, but her family is still broken, her father abandoned her family, her mother was addicted to robots, and relied on those cold machines since she was a child, plus the bullying of her peers, no friends, and only a dog for company. , the young mind has long been poisoned by arsenic year after year.
From a psychological point of view, Mai's family environment and life experience are in line with the hard conditions that cause various psychological problems, so it makes sense to create her annoying character. You can't ask such a poor guy to be able to still feel Justice, tolerance is great, could she be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva? No one is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Wheat's character setting is very real, even too real. In the opening song, Wheat's face always uses chalks to imply her inner anger and dissatisfaction with the bad society, as well as a feeling of resistance; later 7723 came to her After being around, all the targeted revenge actions against the society are also the venting of this kind of anger. She does not need the greater the ability and the greater the responsibility, because Spider-Man has a good Aunt Mei, a good social environment, and even the world he lives in. There are also Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Hulk, Captain America and other heroes who can save justice, but Mai does not. Her life is red and gray, representing anger and gray, and there are no superheroes, but a bunch of robots. Ready to kill all of humanity - no one has come forward, like her life, like this movie.
The plot is in line with the standard of commercial animation films except the short ones, and the best time should be set at 2 hours and 15 minutes. The progress of the initial plot is the same as the rhythm of reality, with an ordinary beginning, a sudden turning point, and then returning to the ordinary, and then I find that I have strayed from the daily track, and then I am chased by the villain, reveal the villain's secret, fight the villain, and win. It is indeed a bit of a routine, but in fact, the focus of the plot is not on the issue of justice. Adults who look at it with the naive idea of "the protagonist overcomes evil with justice" are naive enough. The plot focus of this film is on memory. From the beginning of the 72-hour countdown to the final battle to reset the memory, this period has undergone 7723 changes, but the wheat has not changed, which reflects how a learning robot learns to discover "important" things", indeed memory is important, but for you, I can forget all memories and sacrifice myself to protect you because you were never protected. Unlike the usual "high-scoring" movies, the protagonist didn't actually grow up. Mai just exposed her original psychology. It turned out that she was like this, but no one saw her or heard her speak, just like a little transparent. If you listen to the "Fragile" episode, you will find that the lyrics reveal wheat's heart, "warm harbor, but it's too late", and "all that ridiculous" all reveal such a "bad" girl hiding alone How hard and cruel is the redemption she can't get in the corner of the room, trying to grow? Why grow up? Are you more mature? What does it mean to be mature? Do you have a sense of justice? Indeed, Mai finally (at the end of the credits) still forgets the hatred and starts life again, just like 7723 after the restart; but this is not a sense of justice, there is no sense of justice in Mai, she is for herself, defeating the villain is not to save all mankind, but I feel that I can't be taken away any more, my mother, my puppy still have 7723. But such a girl still has a heart to stand on the side of human beings, why can she tell the truth to everyone? Because she doesn't want to see evil succeed again, she has a conscience and knows how the world should be.
The film's interlude and soundtrack are just right, but sometimes the background sound is much louder than the vocals, which is a little incongruous. The use of English songs to reflect the rebellious side of Mai, and the use of Chinese songs to reflect the fragile side of Mai, is a textbook-like episode, and it is also very bold.
The picture is excellent enough, the design of the robot and the painting of the background are very advanced, after all, there is the blessing of the foreign team. The setting of robots is also very interesting, as well as smart stadiums, human-machine cooperation, etc., as well as the splendor of ultra-modern cities, these are all things that describe the future - all the police have become robots, roads are deformable, And all service industries are being replaced by robots. China has the ability to become like this, and it also has no ability to guarantee that the future will be bright. It should not deify China's development situation. Some problems are faced by the whole world.
Some people say that it is like Dabai, but it is actually a practice of changing the medicine without changing the soup.
Some people say that it is a mediocre work, but in fact it does not feel the importance of memory.
But "Future Machine City" is still just an animated film, and we still have to look forward.
