I drank a lot of wine tonight, so I wanted to try something more serious. As a result, after watching the film, the drinking went down. It was almost three o'clock

. Not just 120 words.

I saw a comment earlier that there was something wrong with the female doctor's statement, and I found it boring. I mainly want to express my different views on this comment.

At the end of this film, after listening to the last dialogue between the heroine and the black show host, I already gave a high score to the film's perfect cuts and connections. This film portrays a typical European and American scholar. In the process of describing such a devastating event, she reasonably chose the order and focus of the description and the sub-emphasis (which can also be understood as the arrangement of the film, such as key events, characters, etc.) Appearance and dialogue, switching between virtual and "real" and even synchronization, etc.), she used an exceptionally precise language expression, her distorted expression and carefully worded narration made me feel a person whose spirit has collapsed or is close to collapse, but because of scientific The professional characteristics of a worker, she is still full of power, and she still focuses to the maximum extent to make her expression reflect what she wants to express, and try her best to avoid misleading the audience with excess information, and always adhere to one of the basic principles of academic narrative - Hedging . Those who don't believe it can try it to see if they can find a better way to express it all. It's like dividing a few lines from a point, walking a different section of the road, and finally gathering it back to one place naturally. , which is high level. Because I happened to be learning craft of research during this time, so I was more sensitive to this thing, and I specially proposed to share it.

Having said so much, by the way, let me talk about what I think is the failure of this film.

One is the owl. Europeans and Americans think owls are evil, but Chinese audiences may not feel that strong after watching it.

The second is the part where the little policeman saw people being taken away with his own eyes, and reported that they were taken away, which is different from the femininity in other parts of the film, which seems a bit abrupt and unnatural.

The most frightening thing is that the second guy suddenly jumped up, I really didn't expect it.

And the most frightening thing, it's 3:25 now, what should I do. . .
