The 5-hour movie, first of all, I sighed at the large scale. I watched and did some other things, and watched and did some other things. I didn't turn on the double speed. It started at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't finish it until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I was tired. The scale also lies in the fact that it spans multiple countries, races, cross-domain cultures, technologies, and dreams. After reading it one after another, I feel that some parts are quite redundant. If there is no last hour, then the previous part is actually very nonsensical, and the logic is also very strange. In the last hour, the writer himself began to appear as the protagonist. In terms of supporting roles, such as the detective, the purpose of not asking for money to follow him is very strange, and later, there were too many characters, a bunch of people were doing music, and the main line was tossing for a long time, The result was an old man's strange wish that his insomniac wife could see or dream of his dead wife, while the man in front of him went around for a long time just to find materials for the video, but he was stared at by a high-level national scientific research institution and followed by a group of people. The dark line, the end of the world, has been emphasized all the time, but nothing happened, and it simply passed. The last hour turned into a dream that was never mentioned before. Almost all the supporting characters were disbanded in place, and then People are fascinated by dreams again (a modern metaphor for science fiction and dreams), and finally it becomes literature that rescues the heroine. At the same time, the last hour feels disconnected from the previous one, but without the last hour the film would be messier. At the same time, the heroine became an astronaut in the end, so it was blunt.
What I admire very much is that the image part of the dream is very well done, compared to that era. There is also the soundtrack. The tech-savvy at the beginning is also very good. Maybe this movie will be split into several irrelevant movies. A girl is pursuing a new beginning. A girl chases a person to the ends of the earth, and another person chases the girl all the way, writes a novel, and wakes the girl up. In order to help his mother find the world of color, a man goes to a place where his mother has been, and records rolls of tapes. An efficient family that says "love" in name but is actually indifferent, only cares about its own home, not the world. A story about recovering images and recovering dreams. A national satellite conspiracy theory and underclassmen forced to check their radiation levels every moment in the desert. A story in which future people are addicted to electronic devices, cyber prisoners, and books change everything... Expand into each one, and each one may be a good story
But how many things are strung together in a nearly 5-hour movie, the effect is actually not good. As for "until the end of the world", there are only 10,000 unmarked Great Plains male 2 and female protagonists to move forward hand in hand and the original world created by people Doomsday is a time when the actual is not and the actual apocalypse becomes an addiction to technology and dreams. While other parts are actually a bit scattered, the theme is not very clear.
Finally, I would like to thank the director who I still like for putting a lot of effort into making this, and the reward for the screening is not high. (see the words before the remastered version)
