The 1983 movie was changed from the 1959-1963 TV series of the same name. The drama is very classic. It is the originator of the horror and fantasy genre. It has been remade again in the past two years. The film is based on this, and is also divided into four prologues and four directors, including the famous Spielberg and George Miller.
Prologue: A man drives with a hitchhiker in the car, and the two listen to the music immersingly, and then play the game of guessing the title song of the record. After a while, the hitchhiker proposed to stop the car. He wanted to startle the other party, but the other party didn't believe it. After the car stopped, he turned his back and turned his face into a blue-haired monster, which really startled the other party.
One: In the tavern, an American complained constantly that he worked hard and deserved that higher position and salary, and a Jew got that position. He was very angry and discriminated against both blacks and Asians. He went out, but inexplicably arrived in Nazi Germany, where he was caught and taken away by the Nazi gendarmerie. He fled in a hurry, was shot, and finally hid in a house, but was betrayed. Finally, he was shot by two officers in turn at the edge of the building. He was greatly frightened and fell. He crossed again and became a black man who was bound by the Ku Klux Klan and was about to be burned to death. He hurriedly fled, and when he hid in the water and came out, he was suddenly killed by American soldiers on the battlefield of the Vietnam War. As a result, he returned to Nazi rule again. He was caught and transported into a truck to be transported away with a group of suspected Jews, and two of his friends from the original bar were coming down the street, but couldn't hear his cry for help.
Two: In a nursing home, an old man always hoped that his son would pick him up, but he was rejected again and again for various reasons. There is a black old man in the nursing home. He advocates the old people to play the game of kicking cans together to find the long-lost innocence. The old people recalled the fun-filled childhood and yearned for it, but they couldn't play because of the nurse's care, and they all agreed, except for the old man. The old people came out to play together at night, and they all turned into children as they wished, and played happily. The black old man was still the same, watching the old man who turned into a child with satisfaction, and told them that they could be like a child from now on, and live a new life. But the old people refused on the grounds that they didn't want to go to school, that their lover had died, and that they didn't want to see their loved ones die one by one. Only one old man chose to be a child. When the children returned to the nursing home, the old man was surprised to see their appearance and called a nurse, but the children turned back to old people, only the old man who chose to stay as a child happily flew away from the window, The old man said that he was ready and hoped that he would take him with him, but was told that fate had arranged all this, and it was fine to be at the moment. In the summer, the old people went out one after another, enjoying the good time at the moment, and the black old man also left with a smile.
3: A young lady came to a pub by accident, and met a little boy. The little boy was playing the game console in the store. When the game console was broken, he beat it hard, and the TV signal was lost. Watching TV fascinated man pushed the little boy down, the lady stopped him from further action. The lady was driving on the road and accidentally hit the little boy who was riding the bicycle. The bicycle broke down and the lady had to take the little boy home. The little boy said that today was his birthday, but his family didn't remember it. When I came to the little boy's house, I saw his parents, uncle and sister, and found that their behaviors were very exaggerated and exaggerated. The family was weird and scary. The little boy's family behaved as if they were catering to the little boy. The lady also saw the little boy's other sister, her mouth was sealed and she could never speak. The little boy asked his uncle to perform magic tricks on the lady, but the uncle was very rare and very nervous. Finally, he turned into a rabbit, and the rabbit suddenly became hideous and jagged, which was extremely terrifying. The lady found a small note that said the little boy was a lunatic. The little boy's family said that he didn't write it by himself. Finally, the little boy's sister revealed the truth. The little boy has super powers that can control everything. His parents abandoned him, and his "family" was deceived by him. Yes, it was no accident that the lady came. The little boy said that he just wanted to gain other people's understanding, and he didn't want others to be afraid of him. Finally, the little boy and the lady entered a space, and the lady said that she wanted to accompany the little boy to explore his superpowers, become his teacher and student, and be together forever. The little boy turned out of a car, and the two of them hit the road, where colorful flowers bloomed.
4: On the flight, a man looked very frightened and was called out from the toilet by the flight attendant. The plane was encountering strong air currents. The man looked out the window through the plane and found something moving on the wing. When he took a closer look, he looked like a person and seemed to be smashing the wing. He yelled at the travelers, causing a commotion, but there was nothing outside. The flight attendant calmed the crowd and offered the man a sedative, hoping he would rest. The man leaned on his back and tried to fall asleep, but he couldn't help but look out the window and found that the monster was sticking to the plane window. An engine has been knocked out by it. The man became manic again, but fortunately, he was suppressed by the co-pilot and he was reminded that he would be handcuffed if he was restless. The man snatched the gun of the person next to him and shot out the window, shattering the window glass, and sucking half of his body out of the plane. He wanted to shoot the monster, but the pistol was twisted off, and the monster used slender nails. Nails his face, then seems to smile and leap into the dark clouds.
The movie era is also very early, almost 40 years ago. It was adapted from the TV series of the same name, and it is also the originator of fantasy and thriller stories. It seems to have some meaning now, the special effects can be seen in the past, and the third story has the most connotation. Because of the huge difference between one party and the other, people get along differently, mutual suspicion, one party fears the other party, the other party tries to make the other party submissive through control, and finally ushered in the destruction of both parties, Superman Suicide is a reflection of normal psychology. Spielberg's second story is full of childlike innocence. Impossible things like rejuvenation will arouse people's infinite reverie and desire. The first story thought he would be saved by the Jews, but the result was unexpected. It is said that the actors behind the scenes died while filming the battle scene with the helicopter originally envisaged in the Vietnam War, which is also considered a rare occurrence in film history.
The look and feel is okay. The constant curiosity and freshness of the four stories is the advantage of skewering unit movies. Anyway, it is an old movie, just watch it for entertainment.
