4 months later, I had my own laptop; after another month, I got used to searching on the school’s gRoove forum and connecting to various FTP sites to download; in this way, T43 has been with me until now, since XP Switched to Win7, still in use. And the little cola who watched the film with me, the best friend I knew from undergraduate, had already graduated from postgraduate.
In 4 and a half years, the time went so fast. The original intention of choosing this film was because of Nicholas Cage. He had watched his "Wind Whisperer", "60 Seconds of Haste", "Changing Face" and "Courage to Death Island" before. It was against Kai at the time. Qi is crazy and obsessed; it's just that in recent years, Cage's films have gradually lost their magic. When this film is brought up again, it is not him that can attract my interest.
Looking back at this film now, if I haven't watched it before, what attracted my most interest is the director Ridley Scott and the soundtrack Hans Zimmer.
I don’t know how I think that Lao Lei is my favorite director. Maybe it’s the bizarre sci-fi world in "Blade Runner", maybe it’s the rise of Maximus in "Gladiator", maybe it’s "Black Hawk Down". The reflection on the war brought about may be the unparalleled director-edited version of "The Kingdom of Heaven", perhaps the leisurely sentiment in "A Good Year", or the wits in "American Gangs", and the chaotic time in "Body of Lies" The line, or the growing up thief in "Robin Hood", these are the memories that Lao Lei gave me, and these also constitute my love for Lao Lei's speechless addition.
As for Hans Zimmer, when I checked his list of filmmakers a few days ago, I added all the movies that were dropped. Now on Hans Zimmer's page, Lao Lei is the one who has collaborated with him the most times. It was under the mutual influence of these two that I gradually found a movie style that I liked, and I became more and more fond of the films that these two collaborated on.
Cage is not Lao Lei's queen actor, but Crowe is. So in the past few years, I have become more and more partial to Crowe. Cage has few masterpieces in recent years. I don’t know if it’s really old, or really can’t find a good book. After the blowout in 2000, Crow has gradually stabilized, and breakthrough works are almost hard to find. It's just the films that Crowe participated in, and the level has always been acceptable.
As time goes by, are the "Mr. Weather" and "The Man at Home" that year, followed by "National Treasure", the last few Cage films that make people feel passable?
