love and monsters and popcorn

"Love and Monsters", a niche movie that has been praised by various gossip recently. Then, if you know that the way this movie is, it sounds good from nowhere, and that you have already learned from the title, all kinds of brainstorming plots, and all kinds of imaginative stimulation, you may be greatly disappointed.

The expectation gap is definitely a bad movie in the eyes. Don't hold your expectations, maybe after watching it, you think it's a family movie that you can watch with little kids.

(The following content involves spoilers) The film begins and directly explains the background of the story. The asteroid hit the earth, and humans fired rockets to smash the asteroid. As a result, the rockets containing a large number of compounds also caused leakage accidents, causing the cold-blooded animals on the earth to mutate, and various snakes, insects, mice and ants suddenly turned into giant monsters. In just one year, 95% of humans were killed. The rest of the humans can only hide underground. Since then, the sun has been lost, and freedom has been lost.

The male protagonist, Joel, stayed underground for seven years. One day, he finally reached out to his girlfriend who was separated before the disaster by radio. Then he made up his mind to break free from the protection of his partner and walk alone across the perilous ground to find her.

Mutations, monsters, slaughter of human beings, underground, adventures... Full of doomsday film routines, but the tone is different. I thought it was cruel and cruel, but I couldn't see it. Only light and happy, only love. In fact, this film is a teenage growth film that takes place in the background of the apocalypse.

Love and monsters, the focus is on love. Although we all want to see monsters.

So what can the majority of teenage friends gain?

After the male protagonist got help from the dog and the noble, he still managed to reach his girlfriend's base. Reunited after breaking the mirror, for love, the sacrifice of life will inevitably get the return of love...? This is an interrogative sentence.

When the male protagonist told the female protagonist, he traveled all the way to see her. The hostess wasn't much moved, just politely said that this was the most romantic thing she had ever seen. Then she changed the tone and said that she didn't expect the male protagonist to come to him at all. So much has changed in seven years, and she is not what she used to be. She has lost someone important.

It turns out that the important person is no longer the male protagonist, and the girlfriend has become the girlfriend of the past. The purpose is love, and when it arrives, it is found that love is not there. The feedback received at this moment is the end of the male lead.

What can you get? Sometimes you try so hard for something, but you end up getting nothing. Efforts will be in vain. Drawing water from a bamboo basket is not a comedy, but a tragedy. You have to learn to face it, be it despair or anger.

As a healing movie, the male protagonist is naturally neither desperate nor angry. The purpose failed, but instead made him discover more important people and things that he had been neglecting, and he also discovered himself.

The adventures along the way made him no longer so scared that he froze in place and dared not move when facing monsters. He could destroy the monsters and protect himself by himself. Even in turn protects his partner who has been protecting him in the past.

After staying underground for seven years, the friends who get along day and night. He always thought that the partners were in pairs, and only he was alone. He was always protected by his partner, he was a drag. But he ignored that his friends had been caring about him. When I sent him off, the back of the map given to him was full of instructions to come back if I couldn't do it. Others envy your success, and relatives accept your failure.

After the male protagonist, when he called back to the friends at the base by radio, he told them that he was still alive and his adventures. He was really happy.

What can you get? It’s a cliché that it’s not the results that matter, but the process. There are a lot of discovering the care that is close at hand, and less dreaming about the love that is far away.

The male protagonist found that the most important thing was to encourage all humans living underground to return to the ground to fight. Instead of losing freedom and living with fear and fear every day, it is better to bravely break the self-imposed fears in your heart and die and live in pursuit of freedom. To live, not just to survive.

In fact, the whole film, as long as you don't expect to fight monsters in advance, slowly, you may be able to be warmed and healed by the film. Otherwise, it is estimated that you can only eat popcorn and complain.

For example, a toy crossbow can solve a monster, but a tank shell can't solve it. The male protagonist who has no power to tie the chicken can survive on the ground, indicating that the ground is not too dangerous. The male protagonist relies on the protagonist's halo to blow water, tempting the old and the weak to return to the dangerous ground. And insects and crocodiles have become giant monsters. Can the giant scale be the same? According to the current number, these insects alone will become giant, and the whole earth will collapse... and so on.

Although it is a movie, it is fictional. But if the scene can be more real and reasonable, so that the audience can be moved without having to worry about the loopholes in the setting and play, maybe the film will look more sincere and better.
