If you have to say that this is the nihilistic philosophy of the director's special dedication, then it does nothing!
The film starts with a queue of luxury stretch cars lined downstairs in a group company. This is the Manhattan of the future, the last day of capitalism. The handsome and wealthy financial tycoon, Eric Parker, coquettishes his bodyguards to walk through crowded Manhattan to get a haircut. Something big happened on this day, and the president came to visit. which president? It's from America. As a result, luxury cars squirm like a snail on the street. Outside the car, the anti-globalization and Occupy Wall Street demonstrators, eggs, leather shoes, and scribbles, obviously came for Parker, the representative of the powerful; inside the car, men and women took turns to chat. Talking about the market performance of contemporary art, someone told him about the assassination plot, and someone came over to have a shot. When Gao Shuaifu got out of the car, he was chatting with beautiful women in bars and competing with the minds of eccentric people. In fact, there is no contest at all, capitalism is about to collapse, the financial empire has collapsed, and Parker has long since broken. Killing doesn't matter, and being killed doesn't matter.
Almost every frame of the movie is frozen on the face of Robert Pattinson, who is known as "Tender Cow Five Sides", but the little guy is too incapable of performing for such a huge drama time. It can even be said that the expressionless face. He, the acting sucks. The pale vain story, coupled with the pale acting ability, the Manhattan movie of the apocalypse is only a boring and pale one. In fact, in the director's so-called compliments to Pattinson's polite remarks, there is an accusation that the film is on your hands, "Eric's role is very important, because he will appear in every frame of the film, I don't think I've ever tried to cast the same actor from beginning to end in a movie. For me, casting is based on intuition, no rules or references. In the end, Pattinson's performance is amazing Satisfied, although he was a little timid and withdrawn during the filming, we still overcame the past."
Those who can easily overcome the past are destined not to be a good thing, but we can't put the blame entirely on "Tenniu Wufang". "Cronenberg's script left me speechless because after his transformation, it was completely a Cronenberg film. I wrote the novel, no doubt, but the film is It belongs to him." So, is this evaluation by Don DeLillo, the author of the original novel of "Metropolis", a compliment or a derogation, praise or disappointment?
Is there no one who can speak a human language that can be understood?
