The Ninth Soul—Will a movie with an alternative route be a good movie?

Would a movie with an alternative route be a good movie?

Recent update: I didn't count time when I watched it in the cinema. The movie may be 76 minutes, but it still feels quite short.


Before answering this question, let me first explain why I say it has an alternative route and is anticlimactic.

Alternative route:
American animation basically has a set of fixed routines. Take Kung Fu Panda as an example: cute and exaggerated looks, you can guess the ending plot at the beginning, famous comedian dubbing (such as Jack Black), audiences don’t need to use their brains, just look and laugh Go home and sleep.

On the other hand, in this "9", the shape is a few small dolls sewn together in dirty linen. It is not cute or funny. There is almost no hilarious laughter in the audience, and occasionally a small group of viewers snicker. (Know that Lao Mei’s smile is exaggerated and low)

Anticlimactic: The
ending is very disappointing. It's like saying that you watched for more than 2 hours and tossed for so long, and finally everything returned to the original point, or even worse than the original point. Or say in the middle of the story: Zhang San and Li Si, you can save the world after you learn this set of sunflower magic, but in the end, Zhang San and Li Si failed to save the world, nothing else. This ending makes our passionate young people very dissatisfied.

So let’s go back to the previous question:
Will a movie with an alternative route be a good movie?
The answer is: of course it will. Because a score of 8.5 or higher is a good movie.


On September 12, 2009, I saw this movie in a small town in a rural area in the United States.

It was strange that I hadn’t seen any hype before, but this animation was much better than a large number of bad movies in the same period. I think this movie "9 "And "The Ninth District" can be tied for the best movie of the last month. Unfortunately, what makes me very depressed is that after watching the movie, the girl who watched "Watchman" together last time and said it was boring. . It's a violent thing.

So how exciting is the movie?
I didn't sleep all night the night before, and when I watched this movie the next afternoon, I was fascinated from the beginning until the end, without a minute of dozing off.

Before starting to talk about the background
of the film, a digression: There are several types of themes of European and American movies and games that are enduring, and in summary, they are all branches of dystopia. Dystopia roughly means that society is very disharmonious and people are very unfree. There are several branches: the government is the big bad guy, such as the recent ninth district; the aliens are the big bad guys, such as Independence Day, a large organization is Bad guys, such as escaping from the clone island; robots created by humans to kill humans, such as Terminator; the end of the world, such as I am a legend. So everyone may wish to pay attention. In addition to World War II and anti-terrorism, Hollywood blockbusters are nothing more than a very typical government killing people, or companies wanting to kill people, or aliens are coming, humans are coming on the street, or robots are coming. Human beings are on the street, or all human beings are on the street, and a little bit of people are still living in the ruins and tossing about this and that. Sometimes I really wonder if Lao Mei is living well and is impatient and has delusions.

The subject matter of this film should be classified as the end of the world. There is a very professional but annoying term in English called Post Apocalyptic. Tick". As the subject of the end of the world, the suspense set in this film can not only grasp the attention of the audience, but also reveal the answer appropriately later, without leaving a bad end. The setting of the environment and the role shows a superb creativity. Both the decent and the villain of this film are made of broken copper, broken iron, such as rags, zippers, scissors, candles, broken iron buckets, broken fans, and broken umbrellas. The robots made up of these rubbish pieces are more intimate. In contrast, those so-called alien high-tech Transformers, who were bombarded by the Yankees without loading bullets, are inferior.

The first 99% of the plots in this film are very exciting and exciting. Waking up from the ruins, where did everyone go? What are we? Why were we created? What are we going to do? A series of questions are slowly revealed in the audience's mind as the plot develops.

The animation is very exquisite and it can be said to be impeccable. Every fighting action scene is very clear. It will not be like Transformers when a few balls of scrap are mixed together and it is impossible to see who is with whom. The only flaw is that as the protagonists of linen cloth, you can see bright light reflected in the sun. This is estimated to be a flaw in the 3D animation technology.

On the downside, the music left me with no impression, and the plot still has a little Hollywood model, and the biggest dissatisfaction seems to be the ending.









============ The following is the background introduction and the dividing line of the plot ================= I

don’t want to spoiler too much, because the plot is really very good. Short and short. Let’s talk about

the 9-point soul created by the doctor of personal insights on the background. After creating the 9-point soul, he will die. So the 9 souls should actually be the 9 different aspects of the Ph.D.: No. 1 represents his politician side, and at the same time his cowardly and arrogant side; No. 2 represents his inventor, creative side, twins 3 and 4 He is innocent; No. 5 I really don’t understand what it means; No. 6 is his crazy and focused side, just like many people engaged in scientific research nowadays, right? No. 7 should be an adventurer or an ideal side. Numbers are soldiers and subordinates; number 9 should represent hope.
