Mel's Idealism Upgraded

The host was supposed to strike while the iron was hot to create the next boom, but after watching the movie, he felt that the ending was as good as a bowl of hot milk with sugar and honey added at the same time, and the whole air was filled with a sweet and greasy aroma. This completely happy ending seems a little out of place in this era of "write in evil, write in dirty". Meier really pursues perfectionism to the extreme.
The sci-fi effect in the movie is still good, turning the parasites that humans should fear into crystal clear and elastic. However, the framing is really disgusting to the large desert, and basically fast-forwards directly. If the heroine passed out due to dehydration at the beginning, it was still a bit of a shot, then the many empty scenes that followed were a bit baffling. There is a turbulent dark river in the cave where she lives, so there is no shortage of water? Could it be that the crew finally found a desert so they could shoot hard?
In addition to this, there are kiss scenes that often pop up == emotional expression is really simple and direct.
The selection criteria of the actors are very consistent, that is, the male is handsome and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, prominent brow bones, and shadows cast by the eyebrows and eyes, so that at the beginning, it is impossible to distinguish who is who (blindness can't afford to hurt). Fortunately, there are only two women == the heroine and Bella's appearance and temperament are quite similar. It should be the author's preference for this kind of tan-haired and pale-skinned girls.

Emotionally, I was still a little moved. After carefully watching the whole film, I found that the ending was unexpectedly good, and it may be the reason why everyone remembers it!

    The dog is so bloody that Twilight's brain damage appears, but there is no lack of creativity and interesting contradictory settings

    Standard Andrew Niccol style, but why a Stephenie Meyer show? ! Completely smashing your own brand, can you no longer shoot works like Gattaca? !
