At the end of the century, questioning the movie tide

Elroy 2022-03-23 09:02:15

The films that I included in the end-of-the-century questioning movie trend include "The Truman World" (1998), "City of Souls" (1998) and "The Matrix" (1999). Together with this film, these four films born in those two years will question the further expansion of this element, and the object is actually the authenticity of the whole world.

The film was selected as one of the "50 Smartest Movies of 20 Years" by "Film World" magazine, ranking fifth, while "City of Souls" was fourth.

The ending of this film is meaningful and amusing. It is the only warm feeling in the whole film. If you investigate the tendency of the main creator, you will be surprised at the subversion and rebellion displayed by such an arrangement. Compare the other three films.

PS: Pay attention to the actors and their roles, each of the three leads plays two roles... ORZ! !

    "I'm not real, you can't fall in love with a dream" - "Thirteen Degrees of Evil" shows us a world view similar to "The Matrix" and "City of Souls" but different from it~ If You suddenly discover that you are just a game character controlled by someone in another world, what will you do? Can you change fate? Will you fall in love with a real person? The director told us how to choose our destiny with the method of the middle game~

    One of Cyber ​​Punk's most iconic works, a great idea, but it's a terrible execution. not only discusses the issue of "human existence" through "red pills, blue pills", "virtual reality", etc., but also develops a sociological dystopian meaning. And this film wastes such a great idea in a vulgar story of a woman killing her husband. As for the sourness of the actor's performance, it is not considered a deduction.
