Another alien movie that ends with "love"

It seems that the aliens who conquered the earth can't have good intentions, and the untouched harmony of diversity and peaceful coexistence has no choice but to use human beings.

First, the strong radio waves that interfere with the magnetic field, then the tide and the earthquake, and then the birds infect the disease.

The remaining or screened humans are ready to accept the fifth wave of attacks.

The movie the 5th waves is divided into two halves. Led by Grace Moretz, the big-faced girl born as a child star, the mystery of the alien program is unveiled.

At the beginning of the movie, the big-faced woman was devastated by the crowd. First the plane crashed, eh, she was fine, then the earthquake and flood, hehe, she was fine too. After the bird contagion, she was fine. The main condition of the protagonist: great life.

The sudden appearance of the American military came like a savior. While all beings were rejoicing, the children were sent to the military base first, and the adults were tried separately. The military boss said that aliens have invaded the human brain and can manipulate the human body. Amid the uproar, the military boss said that he was told that someone here has become a prisoner of aliens, and that he was separated from the child because he admitted that the testing process was complicated.

After taking turns booing, there was always a flustered guy who fired the first bullet. The military cooperated and asked everyone to take care of Huangquan Road, and hung up all the adults in one fell swoop.

The big-faced girl watched her father keep waving to her in the rain of bullets, "run!!" The

big-faced girl shouted in the jungle, her expression was right, but the atmosphere was a little less. The cute big-faced girl decided to go to the military camp to get on the big bus's younger brother.

At this point, the movie begins to gradually degenerate into twilight mode. . .

The two young lovers meet by chance and explore each other's wishes in the ambiguity. One morning, when the sun was pouring down like a spray, the big-faced woman saw the handsome guy taking a bath by the river. It was as if the two of them were enjoying the on the way to the military camp. Be as happy as children holding hands on a picnic. There are no two people who have the slightest distraction. In the case that one sees the other naked and has no evil thoughts, in one night, an outsider with a gun disturbed the gradually intimate relationship between the two.

Such as Wolverine is like a zombie werewolf of twilight, and a handsome man with a big face is like an orc fighting outsiders with guns. It turned out that he was an alien.

It turns out that the barracks boss is a human being invaded by aliens.

The reason why the handsome man doesn't kill the big-faced woman is because he has discovered the "love" unique to human beings.

The best-selling novel the 5th waves was adapted into a movie. Without confirming whether the box office made a profit, the script had to be condensed and the outline of the novel was briefly described in a generalization. Like flipping through the chapters and prompting words in the catalog, the first half of the movie the 5th waves uses a first-person perspective to see the disaster caused by aliens. Without the exclamation of the big pattern, there is more of a sense of commitment. But the fineness can be done better, and the first half of the movie is remarkable. When the big-faced girl and another handsome male alien begin to feel their love for each other, the atmosphere created by the picture is not only loose, but also has a slow girly rhythm. As if falling in love, time has to slow down in coordination. The male protagonist is dull, with the exception of a good figure and a warm face, he is really uncharacteristic.

This on-screen couple who did not call could not resonate with the audience, so they had to bring the story to a messy ending. The plot line of losing direction, in the love of not calling and saving the younger brother, even mentally retarded the aliens. The boss of the barracks has been captured by the aliens, but he easily let go of the two brothers and sisters.

It's not wrong to promote the spirit of love. What's wrong is that the director insists on ending with "love" when the main line of the story is messy, which is really disgusting. There are many details in the movie, such as the big-faced woman writing a diary to reflect on the invasion of aliens into the human brain, making humans suspicious. The inability to unite means that the divided human beings can only be defeated one by one.

If the director can use the diary as a series to connect the entire fragmented plot, the integrity of the film and the continuity of the story will be greatly improved. Instead of copying the plot of the novel and acting like it is different. The two children after the disaster are in love with pure pure love. When they know that you are not of my race, and when they are entangled and emotionally different from their backgrounds, the heroine with a big face does not particularly highlight this emotional scene. And the dull alien handsome man really has no other purpose other than undressing and selling meat by the river. In the subsequent rescue operation, is the alien handsome man repaying his gratitude, sacrificing for love, or hating himself for being an alien and not being able to fall in love with a big-faced woman?

The big-faced girl naively forgot about this ambiguous affair, and remembered that his father asked her to take good care of her brother?

No inner description, no struggle, no pain and no care, the movie the 5th waves is actually a movie that tells you that after watching the movie, you will question whether the original novel is really that bad—and then go buy the original novel and read it.

Four points out of ten, the second male protagonist and the second female with smoky makeup, or hidden emotional lines, compete for a place for the future male and female protagonists. However, the complex relationship between the characters that the movie cannot accommodate, even the most important alien male handsome and big-faced female emotional line have not been properly interpreted. The movie is not worth watching, the original novel may be really good.
If the director takes the high box office of the first episode as the premise of the next sequel, and does not make and shoot the whole movie with the mentality of breaking the boat, then no matter how good the original work, it may be scrapped.

  • [last lines]

    Cassie Sullivan: [narrating] The Others see our hope as a weakness; as a delusion. But they're wrong. It's our hope that lets us survive. That lets us bend, but remain unbroken. It's our hope that will let us win one day. It's our hope that makes us human.

  • Sam SullivanCassie Sullivan: [singing in union as Sam drifts off to sleep] Bones, sinking like stones, all that we fought for. Homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for. We live in a beautiful world, Yeah we do, yeah we do. We live in a beautiful world.
