Giant Stitcher. Truman's World + Westworld + The Matrix + Number One Player... I have to learn everything, but I only learned a little bit. After thinking about it, in addition to the fact that Director Ta, Xiaojianqiu, and Boss Qian successfully integrated their unique temperament into the performance, the three together formed the weird style of the movie, the background, theme, plot, easter eggs and even special effects of the whole movie, It's like a collage of predecessors. "Good morning, good afternoon and good night" is far more than a Truman mantra. Aside from highlighting the character's optimism, or creating some comic effect around the phrase, the moment it really comes into play is when Truman leaves this caged world made for him. He used this phrase to start his daily life, and he will end it with it; he said hello to the first neighbor he met in the morning, and now it is also used to say goodbye to every audience in front of the screen. This simple line is poured into his infinite love for morning, afternoon and evening, and for repeating life day after day, and it will also become the driving force for him to open that door to find a new world. As for the audience who sat in front of another group of screens to say goodbye to him, we were both forgiven by him in this closing ceremony, and we will also draw some vitality from it. In contrast, "Don't have a good day, have a great Masters. The quantity and quality of the easter eggs in this film are completely incomparable. And the most touching moment of the number one player is when those elements that are outdated, or elements that we thought outdated but never expected to appear, suddenly pop out in front of us. The most unexpected easter egg among the runaway players is Captain America. So we mentioned that the number one player will say "feelings" and "salutations", and this film is just to please pop culture and the audience with the strongest spending power. It should be said that the audience is easier to please than I thought... Masters. The quantity and quality of the easter eggs in this film are completely incomparable.

There is a scene in the film, which presents the ugly faces of Hollywood and game companies through the mouth of the villain, and satirizes the phenomenon that they focus on IP sequels to make money. Just want to say, Stitcher is really not much better than the sequel... In the end, quality should be the only criterion. Looking at other long and short reviews, some people mentioned the "digital strike" in the film, and even compared it with reality. I just want to say that if I die, I can be resurrected at home the next day without any change, even if I don't change the balance in my bank card, I dare. That's probably the crux of my distaste for this movie. There has never been a movie that annihilated the existence of "death" to such a degree. The death in the number one player is to delete the number and restart. So we knew from the beginning that the protagonist couldn't die once. Although there is no death in Deadpool, there is blood plasma and severe pain visible to the naked eye. Although there is no explicit description in the film, it seems that there is no pain at all. In the second part, Deadpool's superpowers are also blocked. When the host dies in Westworld, the memory will be reset. And the fact that there is no real death is used in turn to create a strong tension. In the play, after Maeve knows the truth and how to keep her memory, she kisses her lover wildly, then shoots each other, waiting to be recovered and restarted. At that moment, the curse of reincarnation and the entanglement of love and hate intertwined and died. Even those looping horror films, horror cruises create strong spiritual horror with the stacking of death, and Happy Death Day is the layout around each death of the protagonist to create a jump. scare. In vampire movies, immortality and death often constitute a dualism, and the expression "life is a curse" is carried out. In any movie I've seen before, even if the protagonist has immortality, immortality, etc., death must be present and play a role in various forms. And there are usually movies with similar settings, whose thematic expression is precisely inseparable from death. Because, without the threat of death, time has no meaning, all the actions, efforts and struggles of the characters have no cost, and all the value orientations are untenable. What happened to the digital strike? No one came to arrest me, and if they caught me, they couldn't kill me. What happened to killing the npc? Can't they be resurrected? They don't even feel pain, they don't have any fear. After realizing this, there was no turbulence in my heart while watching the whole film. In fact, the film may be aware of this problem. In the climax part of the film, the villain also ordered his subordinates to turn off the rebirth settings in the game, but there was no more after he finished speaking. There are only two moments in the entire film that death is close to showing, once when the server is reset, and once when the axe destroys the server. Say the latter first. In fact, it is a very good bridge. The extreme application of the shutdown and restart idea, the software can not solve the hardware, it also shows the ultimate powerlessness of the digital world to the real world. But at this time, it is unaware that those AI humans are dying, and even Buddy will not feel anything when he disappears, because we all already know that as long as Guy crosses that light, all problems will be solved. Although reset is the death of the digital world, this scene in the film has become the most mundane amnesia stalk in romance films. What I couldn't bear the most was that Judy ended up bringing back Guy's memory with a kiss. Disney hasn't filmed this kind of "true love kiss" in the animation for a long time. I thought they knew it was wrong, and it came out like this. The kiss of true love is a lazy trap created by humans to deceive themselves. I don't want to pay more in exchange for love or solve problems, and I also want the easiest way to verify true love, so I have this magical setting that a kiss can save everything. Gu Jiu, who is often complained today, is set by Mary Su who helped a little boy get rid of school bullying in his childhood. When he grows up, he recognizes him, who is already a bully. In fact, the internal logic and the kiss of true love are the same. Because there is no other way to confirm love, because I know that there will be no tyrants to love such an ordinary heroine, or even the self projected on the heroine, I hope to sign a contract with a potential stock at the lowest price in childhood. Strict love contract, and then wait for the recognition twenty years later. The easier it is to be kissed by true love in an era The more you move, the more it shows the scarcity of true love. This is why I object to the so-called "cool enough". Cool and empty are not synonyms. Literary and artistic works should be discovered and even filled in all kinds of emptiness and emptiness in the hearts of the times and people. Indeed, a brief period of anesthesia makes us forget. But it can't be said that only anesthesia is enough, and it is no different from taking drugs. And many cool movies are "corrosive narcotics", like replacing people's cognition of love with superficial and hypocritical logic similar to "true love kiss", which will only make our emptiness gradually expand. Finally, I want to talk about the effects of this film. Don't you think you've seen it somewhere? Demolishing buildings and building bridges is like the hand of Magneto in the X-Men Apocalypse; the city squeeze is essentially the same set of two walls squeezed into the middle in the tomb robbery movie, which is also a bit of the shadow of the dream space; Judy Comer should be shooting while spinning around on a motorcycle It's Resident Evil, or a very common fight scene... If you think about it carefully, it seems that the design of these fight scenes and special effects is also lackluster. Not only about this film, but the most surprising visual effects shots (not technology, but design and imagination) I can think of recently in the cinema may be the juxtaposition of actions on the positive and negative timelines in Creed. Although the creed is bad, the significance of Nolan is evident.
Again, I want to stress that I'm not against those viewers who have enjoyed this film and enjoy it, I just hope we can raise our bar for cool films as well. Even if you don't compare it with the movies mentioned at the beginning of this article, and with Thor 3, Deadpool, and Kingsman (corresponding to Tower Director, Little Bitch, and Boss Qian), you can realize how unimaginative and original this film is. This kind of emptiness will consume the audience. When we lose interest in the existing Easter eggs and jokes (even if the process may be long), what will be left of the cool movie?
The reason why everyone likes watching cool movies and mindless commercial movies may be that a serious movie can be eaten for a long time, but cool movies are never enough to eat. At least I am...
