Good idea, bad movie-"Human Removal Project"

The continuous growth of the population will sooner or later exceed the environmental capacity of the earth. What should human beings do then or at this time? This is indeed a terrible problem. The solution is very simple. Either find a new habitable planet or reduce the population. Limited to the objective conditions of space technology, people naturally think of the second solution. However, its specific operation is another problem. Simple and rude is like Hitler's slaughter of Jews, while gentleness is like China's family planning. "Human Elimination Project" is a commercial film based on this heavy topic. The story takes place in the United States ten years later. In order to control the crime rate, the state specifically set a night’s “twelve hours” for people to release their “beast” nature. Any crimes committed during this period will not be prosecuted; of course, participate. People in this event took to the streets and could use any weapon below level 4, while those who were not involved hid in their homes to take safety precautions. The content of the film mainly revolves around the events that took place during the "twelve hours", which is basically a plot to pursue killings and escape to save lives.
As far as the movie is concerned, the first part is about a person selling security measures, but on this day his own security measures went wrong, leading to the invasion of the "beasts", the whole family rose up to resist, and finally saved their lives; the "beasts" in the film "There are no lack of respectful neighbors or friends who are jealous of this family member. This explores the revenge of human beings-crazy actions in an attempt to clear the heart of dissatisfaction in a reckless environment. The protagonist in the second part was replaced by the father who lost his son in a car accident, trying to kill the driver who escaped legal sanctions. On the way to the car, he accidentally rescued 4 survivors, but he was chased by "wild beasts". kill. The protagonist finally arrived at the driver's house, but did not kill him. When he walked out of the driver's house, he happened to be shot by the "Beast". Fortunately, the driver shot and killed the "Beast".
Both films use violence and action as the main themes. The first scene is mainly set in the protagonist's home, while the second is moved outdoors to let the audience feel the tension of the street full of killing. The plot of the first part is gradual and undulating, showing the heroine’s psychological process from desperately avoiding to picking up a weapon to counterattack. This change can arouse the audience’s appreciation; Too many ups and downs, even the moment the actor finds the driver and the driver saves the actor did not make the audience climax, on the contrary, even if there is no final scene, the actor wakes up in advance, it may make the audience think more deeply and achieve a little artistry. . As far as the characters are concerned, the portrayal of the characters in the first part is obviously better than that in the second part. The mother in the first part is impressive, and there are almost no memorable characters in the second part, especially It is the male protagonist’s stiff expression and the uniformly tough image that make people boring, and the psychological transition from wanting to kill the driver to releasing the driver was completed only in the last few minutes of the film. The director did not show this process positively, and the driver did not Did not make any unique moves. From the audience’s point of view, this change seems to have been done by the actor alone, which is too abrupt (the mother and daughter in the film have been persuading the actor to give up revenge, but its performance The technique is not satisfactory and not impressive enough), of course, the director designed this to create a surprise for the driver to save the hero, but the design of this surprise is obviously not clever enough, because the audience has no feeling for the driver at all, and even after watching the film Forget the driver’s face, and if the director wants to create a surprise through the driver’s behavior, he must make the owner of the behavior familiar with the audience, no matter if the feeling is like or disgusting.
Regrettably, this is a commercial film, a purely commercial film shot with commercial methods, although there are some human discussions interspersed with it, such as the jealousy of friends in the first film, and the wealthy people in the second film buy it with money The poor in order to enjoy the fun of killing in a safe home; but the performance is obviously insufficient, and the tension of the second plot is also unsatisfactory. Generally speaking, Good idea, bad movie.
