Initially decided to go to the host because the trailer was really attractive, so I decided to go. I told my friends about this movie before watching it, but I was told that it was the work of Stephenie Meyer, an American dog-blood master. When I first heard it, I didn't want to watch it because I don't like dog blood. After inquiring about the plot, my friend said that the alien consciousness invaded the heroine, and then both women fell in love with the male protagonist. , the heroine and the hero are HE. OK, it doesn't sound too morally wrong. Although there is a love triangle plot that I hate the most, I still plan to watch it (actually, the main reason is that movie tickets cannot be refunded after they are purchased).

After watching it, I wasn't particularly disappointed. Not to mention the original, the movie was really good.

The first point is that the female lead is very beautiful and her acting skills, I personally think she is very good, at least much better than Twilight's female lead. To be more specific, Saoirse Ronan is one of the few foreign actresses that I like very much. She looks pretty and has a very small cherry mouth, although her mouth is actually not really small. Therefore, the appearance is very good, and it looks very cool. Her acting skills are, in my opinion, very good. Because she wants one person to play two roles, Melanie and Wanderer, these two also share a body, so there must be that kind of precision. Personally, Ronan has done a very good job.

Second, the music really touched me very much. I am an amateur flutist. Although my playing skills are quite average, I have heard a lot of the host's style of music, so I am very sensitive to some special music, and the host's movie soundtrack is one of them. The style of music matches the atmosphere of the movie very well, coupled with the effect of the theater and the sensationalism of the movie, it is very contagious, and it almost made me, a cold-blooded animal, shed a few crocodile tears.

Next, we can dig up the messy things of movie content and connotation. To be honest, the plot of the movie is very simple, it is alien invasion-struggle-Happy end. It's just that I don't quite understand one thing. The movie said that the survival mode of alien species is probably to travel between different worlds and parasitize native species. Therefore, Wanderer was asked "How old are you?" When he answered that he was about a thousand years old. I think, since the alien species have gone through so many years, er, the earth should not be particularly difficult for them to conquer, right?

First, let's analyze alien species.

They should be a very intelligent species. After invading the earth, they also formed a very organized, very disciplined society with national functions. Moreover, the quality of their society is quite high. For example, when Wanderer and Melanie were running away from the seeker, Melanie wanted to rob a car and get away, but Wanderer said, leave that to me. As a result, the girl actually said to the driver, I have something very important and I need this car. Then, to my surprise, the driver actually said, "No problem, this car performs very well. I leave it to you. Do you need an assistant for your business?" I made it myself, Wanderer said. After talking, drive away. The driver shouted from behind, the mailbox is full!

Another point, do you know how ordinary people (aliens) buy things in the society established by aliens? They don't need money, yes, they don't have such things as gold coins, so they go directly to the shop to get something and leave. There are two people from the store standing guard at the entrance of the store. It is estimated that they are managers or security guards who prevent the earthlings from coming and robbing. Commodities, and then walked out, with a pair of silver eyes facing the two black clothes, nodding and smiling. The two men in black nodded in return, and then they got their stuff.

One more point to rant. In one scene, Wanderer and Melanie deliberately injured themselves in order to obtain medical supplies, went to the medical point for treatment, and stole medicine by the way. As a result, when Wanderer arrived at the front desk, he told a flawed lie under Melanie's prompt. The alien at the front desk actually believed it and immediately said "we have an emergency." This is to complain about the strange medical treatment in the United States Is there a system? If a person goes to the hospital with an arm injury in the United States, and they see that you are still alive, they will let you bleed on the side.

After reading the whole article, you can see that Wanderer as the representative and other aliens are actually very simple and very kind. There is an alien, maybe because the plot needs it, it is a bit aggressive, and has been chasing and killing Wanderer who ran out, but that is an exception, almost all the aliens in the play are not like the previous movies, they are shaped into monsters .

Let's dig the connotation here. All in all, The Host, except for the part that is a little suspicious of a love triangle, the part about dating makes me doze off, and the other parts are barely worth watching. Of course, if you can't accept the entanglement of Qiong Yao's style, don't watch it. My personal ability to resist dog blood is not too bad, but this kind of dog blood is a bit uncomfortable for me, especially when I see the female protagonist kissing the male protagonist and male supporting actor continuously, I am a little embarrassed. But if you really can't stand the romance, don't watch this movie. When you meet Meyer's novel, can you still escape from the blood?!

    Imagine a colonist who has lived for thousands of years and traveled to eight planets and is still stupid to clean up his colonial behavior; imagine that the aborigines will take the initiative to be PUA when they see a silly white sweet, and they are happy to be Stockholm syndrome; imagine the earth Exceptional among the stars like Milliken was on Earth?? So arrogant and stupid that no one bothers to complain, wanting to give negative points?
