It is said that it is a landscape film, and there are indeed many countries that run across Asia, Africa and Europe, but I haven't caught a decent landscape shot. It is said to be a fantasy film. It has turned an originally good anime into a pulp. The plot is erratic and can't grasp the point, and the shots are fragmented and unstructured. The soundtrack is simply inexplicable. Do you have to make some out-of-tune electro-pop music to prove that the director has not decoupled from the times? Let's call it an action movie. It's a common problem for female directors to fail to make action movies. Theron's action scene at the end of the film is barely worth watching. I am quite familiar with the London location, and I recognized the building selected by Merrick's laboratory at a glance. It is diagonally opposite the statue of John Wikes (an 18th-century journalist and politician, who fermented British radicalism), a building called New Street. Square's office building. After checking, the laboratory on 17F in the film is actually a financial company. Nile stopped at the lower left of Figure 1 with the Peugeot that Merrick jumped off the building and smashed (the director who doesn't make fun of British and French grievances is not a good director); the statue of John Wikes is under the big tree at the fork; the neo-Gothic building at the end of the road It is the Mourne Library, affiliated to King's College London, which was used for the filming of "The Da Vinci Code". Because of the film "Da", in early November 2019 ("The old guard" was completed in August), I walked all the way from the London Eye to the Morn Library to pay homage. A month later, the new crown appeared.
