-------------------------- Fart kid movie review, don't approach it if you don't like it. ------------------------



In fact, this theme is quite novel, because the original author's twilight has caused the public to have some prejudice against the host. (But that The book is indeed very difficult to write, thick and large, which led to fear of it at first when I bought it, and it does take some patience to read it)

"Mel-style story routine"
The host of this story is also a Mel-style two men and one Female love triangle, two males love the female. . . (Everyone knows the level of bloodshed)
But what needs to be noticed here is that the host's heroine Melanie/Wanda is different from Twilight's Bella, both Mel and Wanda are willing to give everything for their family and lover. From the beginning to the end, Bella only thought about how to live forever with the vampire, and didn't care about her family at all. As for the two protagonists, it continues Mel's usual routine. After you kiss her, I kiss her, kiss, kiss, kiss. . . It's no different. The film


"Reason for Unpopularity" was not popular with audiences in the North American market.
As mentioned at the beginning, everyone has some prejudice against the host because of the author's previous work Twilight. In addition, it may be because the audience is tired of watching this American Qiong Yao drama, and the box office of warm bodies is not very good. This should also be the reason.
Personally, I think the most fundamental reason is that the values ​​of Wanda, one of the heroines, are different from those of Westerners. Wanda has a spirit of willingness to sacrifice herself, and it is because of her spirit that the story begins. She escaped from their alien sanctuary in order to help her host Melanie find her home. It is also because of her spirit that she would rather die than insist on letting Melanie regain her body and continue to live with her family.
I read some articles before saying that Westerners have always been more individualistic, self-centered, and relatively lacking in the spirit of the traditional virtue of the Celestial Dynasty, "sacrificing oneself for others". This should also be one of the reasons why the host is not popular in the North American market.

"Why is this movie made better than it is written?"
The story itself is a good theme, and the theme of soul implantation is still novel (a bit of escaping from the clone island). It is a pity that the author's writing is limited, and the translation is also confusing, leaving many regrets in the story itself. In addition, the author is always inseparable from youthful love or downplaying the role it plays in the novel (it's boring to get a heroic and triangular love like the Hunger Games), it is necessary to deal with it when adapting the script. It's really difficult to get right. But the finished film has always been a clear idea, a copy that is better than the book.
When the movie was announced to start shooting, the expectations were still very high, especially after knowing that Sister Ronan was announced to join. At that time, I went to the girl's Baidu Tieba to promote it, saying that the subject matter is very good, and the role played is difficult to perform (but this kind of role that is similar to dual personalities is not difficult for this Irish young freshman to play. ) The joining of Sister Ronan did add a lot of polish to the movie.


Written here, I want to take a break from the student chicken who used to be a nympho + illogically speaking.
Brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles are welcome to correct any grammatical mistakes of my little brat.
You are also welcome to discuss it together (if anyone sees this thing)
and finally come to a paragraph. . . . . .

"Five Regrets of the Movie Host + One Super Highlight"
1 The story is too straightforward and lacks a climax. For a sci-fi film, it is unpleasant after all.

2 In terms of the script, Melanie/Wanda's role is not expressed in a richer way.

3 There is no foreshadowing in the movie. How did the male No. 2 ian's love for wanda come about, and why did it arise.

4 At the end of the story, Wanda left melanie's body, and her human friends found a new host for her. This new host was played by Emily Browning, an Australian chick. The baby doll in the bad boy. It happens to be the real girlfriend of the male No. 1 in this film) She is indeed short and white as said in the original book, but this girl is getting more and more ugly, and she does not look like the wanda written in the book. The new host looks as delicate as a blond doll. When I read the book, the first actor I thought of playing this role must be dakota fanning! ! !

5 It is estimated that the movie and the book will not play in the future. Although Mel has written the second and third parts of the book and has not yet published them, judging from the market reaction and the development trend of the story (the rest should be the war between humans and aliens), there is no drama. . . . . .


Deng Deng Deng Deng! ! ! Highlights! ! !
The background of the credits at the end is so beautiful! ! ! If you watch imax3d in the theater, you will definitely feel amazing! ! ! All kinds of starry sky ~ all kinds of visual beauty ~ ~ ~ ~
. . . . . . Little girls in infinite fantasies. . . . . .
