The warm-hearted theory...

I didn't like the "Theory of Everything" that the male and female protagonists cooperated with back then, I just felt it was warm, and the Oscar's best male protagonist was also snatched from "Birdman" by this film, so I have always had a bad impression of little freckles. But because some people in the comments called this film and "Walking in the Clouds" and "Free-handed Climbing" a trilogy of acrophobia, I became interested in watching this film. As a result...

Although he ascended to heaven ten minutes after the beginning, and the heroine's appearance before ascending to heaven was also amazing, but after that... flashback... flashback... flashback... it was too difficult to get into the play... it was difficult to maintain the tension after ascension Feeling and excited, it was not until the female protagonist climbed to the top of the balloon that she entered the state again, and then the female protagonist fell, the screen went black, and the camera turned back to the ground...

"Walking in the Clouds" and this film are both feature films, while "Free Hands Climbing" is a documentary. As a result, the effect of the two feature films under the blessing of special effects and the big screen is not as exciting as a documentary. The biggest problem with drama films is also that it is difficult to stay in the state of play. "Walking in the Clouds" always has to intersperse the inner activities of the male protagonist. This film always focuses on the hot air balloon, a clumsy way of storytelling, It's a pity for the sublimated lines in the actors at the end, it's a pity the heroes in these real events, and the perfect special effects on imax...

    The color pictures are pretty good, and the visual aspect is definitely impressive. Several scenes are extremely thrilling, especially the part of climbing the balloon with bare hands while frightening, while sweating for the heroine. In addition, the period between butterflies and stars gives people a romantic feeling. I thought the film would use this to draw the emotional drama of the male and female protagonists, but in the end it didn't. This is very positive. Other than that, there are no surprises in the film. The simplicity of the story, coupled with multiple flashbacks, makes the film a bit boring. Overall, quite satisfactory.

    The five-kilometer butterfly, the seven-kilometer star, the eleven-kilometer balloon top... Putting it in the context of science fiction, this is an exploration of boundaries, just like the themes of many of Ted Jiang’s novels. I think such novels are really prone to poetry.
