Anyone who has watched this film can't deny that its scenes are indeed beautiful and gorgeous, and every frame of the picture can become a beautiful picture. It is said that many scenes have their origins and imitated many world-wide famous artwork. I think even Zhang Yimou should be ashamed to be able to shoot such a gorgeous effect ten years ago. It's just that such a world is a weird, fantastic, coquettish, and even terrifying world, which can be called a kind of violent aesthetics.
However, I have never been the kind of person who would praise a good film for its beautiful colors. Its storyline is still my favorite theme, a psychological suspense film. Since I was a child, I have especially liked to pay attention to some psychological aspects - the subconscious mind, hypnosis, Freud, dreams, suggestion, and all that kind of mysteries. Invasion of Brain Cells is a movie under the banner of science fiction, but it is actually a psychological movie. It is also in line with the consistent thinking of psychology. The character of a person and the way he does things can be traced back to childhood experiences. Such a statement, the older I get, the more I agree with it.
This film is actually a bit of a fusion of Silence of the Lambs + Avatar. Because the plot of the story mainly traces the process of a perverted killer, but the difference is that the invasion of brain cells is more focused on exploring the inner world of this perverted killer, gaining insight into his thinking and his terrifying childhood. I can't imagine the odds of a child or teenager who suffered perverted abuse and abuse during his childhood and who can still be completely unsullied and be a person who is incredibly kind from the inside out. Unless he understands that there are beautiful things, if he never knew what beauty is, then those cruelty and violence will become some kind of powerful force and power in his eyes. He will also use the same method to treat everyone he comes into contact with, because for him, everything is taken for granted.
I say a bit of an avatar because the scientists and psychological counselors in it can also use advanced instruments to separate the human body from the spirit, and the spirit enters another world and perceives another incomparably wonderful space . Although the worlds that invaded the brain cells were not as primitive and harmonious as the ones in Avatar, there was also another fascinating and strange atmosphere that exuded a unique fragrance.
During the whole process of watching the film, I always felt a feeling of numbness on my scalp and a slight cold sweat, but I still watched the film from start to finish without taking my eyes off it. Although many people commented that it was a bad movie, the comrades who understood it all gave it five stars. Maybe there are too many symbolic things in it, but after you dig out those details, you can chew out the taste and realize the meaning of this film.
