thinks that the monster that disturbed South Korea is Godzilla-level, who knows that it is only a Tyrannosaurus in Jurassic Park, and it is far less than a tyrannical monster. The dragon is cunning and ferocious, and the director is stingy to give close-up shots, no cruel and cunning eyes, no bloodthirsty savage face, no intimidating roar (presumably due to the limitation of stunt level and cost), in fact, this monster is just a The poor worms foraging by the Han River have limited destructive power.
But this does not prevent the film from telling the story of saving the little girl in a touching way. A dull father, a decadent uncle, an elderly grandfather, and a hesitant aunt, in the face of terrifying and terrifying monsters, they mustered infinite courage and a willingness to fight death. only because of their belief in saving the child's victory - to the world, she is just a small life, but to this ordinary or even a little degenerate little family, she is the whole world!
Against the background of the government's indifference to the news that the little girl was not killed, the actions of adults to save the child are increasingly lonely and tragic. When we condemned the government's indifference, we put ourselves in the shoes of ourselves at a time when everyone was in danger of deadly germ rumors. Would we doubt the remarks of this suspected germ carrier? Will they be indifferent to their requests? Will they panic about their escape and support the pursuit and interception at any cost?
A scene in the film: A group of people wearing masks are waiting by the roadside, one person coughs, and everyone avoids; spitting into the water, and then the water is splashed, everyone is afraid and can't escape... In Guangzhou, Beijing and other cities experienced the SARS period. Friends must be very familiar with such scenes and feel real. This is the society we live in in which everyone is self-threatening, indifferent and ruthless. The cherishing and respect of a life that has nothing to do with oneself is far less realistic and important than the panic of a deadly germ that threatens one's life. No one is more noble than anyone else, and no one is more qualified to criticize others than anyone else.
The government's indifference is the concentrated expression of the indifference of countless people.
The tragic loneliness of the family's rescue action makes the film more tense and appealing, and the film does not have the cruelty and indifference of escaping and whitewashing reality. It is also indispensable to honestly move our living environment into the film, which can resonate with the audience and give Viewers bring more thought. The irresponsible U.S. military, the college students who have difficulty finding jobs, the indifferent and pedantic government departments that control public opinion and fool the people, the corrupt civil servants, the gangsters who do everything for money, the clerks who betray their friends... When a family faces great difficulties, There is no savior who wears golden armor and steps on colorful clouds, and there is no one-hearted hatred of the enemy. Only those closest to him depend on each other, support each other, and advance and retreat together. This is the real world we live in, corrupt, depraved, cunning, selfish, and evil.
The film unreservedly exposes the ugly side of society, and forms a strong contrast with the perseverance and determination of this ordinary family member, which makes the characters of the story fuller and the theme of the story more prominent. The most terrifying monster is not the mutant species from the Han River, but the indifference in everyone's heart.
This successful film can only be born in other countries, not in our country, because such a script will be shot a hundred times if it is submitted for approval a hundred times. Look at the government in the film: inaction, bureaucracy, blockade of news, corruption... These are all contrary to the main theme, and they cannot express the spiritual and humanistic outlook of our socialist harmonious society at all.
If the Yangtze River version of the monster, first of all, this monster must be a hybrid of the sticky fish and the Baiji dolphin. Our government has been committed to environmental protection and has been very effective; when Dad received the call, our party and government cadres would immediately pay attention to it. Get up and hold an emergency meeting to analyze, arrange the most capable special forces elites to rescue, and swear before you go, swear to save people at all costs, what? Are you determined to participate as an uncle? How can you be unemployed in college? Should be a graduate of Peking University, or a party member! Well, join in!
What gangsters pick up and isolate patients, sell arms, ask for tips for passing checkpoints, and students demonstrate. These are all nonsense and all deleted. After a hard fight, many martyrs paid the price with their lives, and the monster forced to the shore, disregarding the safety of the students and spreading harmful substances? How can our government be so shameless? delete! At this time, a homeless person risked his life to pour gasoline on the monster. What, a homeless person? No, it has to be changed, at least this tramp has to be a party member! Well, the last Olympic ignition style archery ignition idea is very good, but it is best to highlight the identity of this aunt - a member of the Chinese archery delegation for the 08 Beijing Olympic Games. The sportswear you wear must have a lucky baby "Beijing welcomes you"!
In the end, of course, the little girl can't die, because so many have not been rescued, doesn't it seem that our party's work efficiency is not high? Gotta live! Great reunion, great harmony!
Well, the Chinese version of the monster will probably be like this, CHEN KAIGE'S FILM!
