Basically no bright spot

0. I haven't tried to watch a movie in the cinema without 3D glasses for a long time, at least it liberates my eyes.
1. I deeply doubt that the translation into "phantom body" is to touch the light of super body.
2. The plot is really ordinary, and there is no such thing as a shocking conspiracy. It is a plot that can be guessed.
3. The narrative method is very bland, and some places are procrastinated, making people want to have a fast-forward button.
4. My colleagues said that if this film was made by the Chinese team, it would definitely be condemned to death. But other people have money, at least it's much better than the fifty cents special effects.
5. I still like the fragmented cuts of those short shots. The short shots of jazz in the first town feel like a Disney cartoon.

To sum up: still passable, see it.

    Damian: Don't be. What you and Judith went through, losing a child, that's a tragedy. An old man dying... I'm supposed to say, "That's life."
