I think the movie is pretty good. The one and a half hour movie made me feel like I watched it for two and a half hours. Although the pace is slow, there is not much suspense or special attraction, but there are still some small things that are very interesting. These little things It would be nice to show it well. It's not the grand narrative that is awesome.
Little things 1, the hero and heroine love line. I don't know when this relationship started, but the first time I noticed the disappointed expression of the male lead after seeing the female lead's ring. Then the male protagonist said he was single at the house where he was staying. Afterwards, the two went to the night market to eat delicious grilled corn. They were happy. They watched the memorial area for the victims, moved, and drank alcohol. Just when everything is ready for a relationship, the heroine refuses because of responsibility. Later, the male protagonist was found out about the gun, and the relationship between the two entered freezing point.
After that, they walked together again, started to communicate because of translation, were scared together because of hearing strange sounds, were shocked when they saw strange things, chatted with mercenaries at night, saw infected trees, and gained experience and understanding together. Untie the bandages, flirt, and love will slowly pave the way. Then went through the life-and-death juncture of the alien attack. After surviving, the hero's first reaction when he saw the victim girl was no longer to take pictures but to cover her with clothes. The hero put down his professional habits and faced life together with the heroine.
In the end, the hero and heroine see the mating of giant creatures and feel the beauty and greatness of some kind of life, and love finally arises. Then back to the title, the heroine hangs up.
Small thing 2, the attack motive of the monster. People don't know the motives of monsters, just because monsters attack humans, humans take revenge. In fact, the purpose of the monsters is just "light". When they see the light, they think it is the opposite sex, and then they come to mate, and they turn around and find nothing. In the process of turning over, people were tossed to death.
First of all, it was the report about alien creatures that the heroine heard in the hotel. There were instructions on the mating of alien creatures. On the one hand, it lays a foreshadowing of knowledge for the future, and on the other hand, it uses mating to compare the heroine's slight admiration for the hero.
Second, on the tree where the monster is hatched, the monster's eggs respond to the light.
Again, it is what happens when the hero and heroine are attacked. I don't know why mercenaries wear gas masks, is it to make monsters not aware of their breathing? In short, everything that was worn was hung up, and the hero and heroine did not wear it and survived. The car with the lights on was thrown into a tree, and the two were safe in the car after the actor turned off the lights.
Once again, the heroine was at the only gas station with light within a few kilometers, and the monster came, and began to touch the TV with its tentacles, and then emitted mating lights. And the moment the heroine cuts off the power to the TV, the tentacle leaves.
Finally, in a bright place, the two monsters mate, giving off a flamboyant glow. The monsters had already left, and the army's headlights said they were attracted.
By the way, there is only one madman alive within a few kilometers, why is he alive? I guess it's because he doesn't turn on the lights at night. The song he sang also mentioned "Three Blind Mice", I don't know if it was a hint.
Therefore, when people are facing a big enemy, they are nervous, and they are ready to fight, in fact, only because they interfere with the mating of another creature.
Little things 3, what is the hero and heroine moving in the end. Not only at the end, the moving point of the hero and heroine may also be the moving point of the film. So what is it that inspires you?
First of all, it is different people's understanding of monsters. The U.S. military, who doesn't understand it, just feels that this is a problem that needs to be solved, and when it lacks confidence, it makes up for it with its own actions and tough words. In the end, he said that he was so arrogant, and things were not too big. In contrast, the attitude of the Mexicans is interesting. The driver who lives in the unsafe zone will say, we can only live here, and we can only pray that we don't let ourselves. Conductors and smugglers see this as a business opportunity. The wave of the child in the warehouse explained that these people who made a fortune are not bad people. Mercenaries treat monsters as a natural phenomenon and play with eggs on trees. Some people also think that it is human beings who are destroying human beings themselves, that more people may be killed by bombs than aliens have attacked, and that the blocked borders seem to be stupid and arrogant.
Second, it is the personal feeling and shock of the lost life, which evokes life thinking.
Again, it is the touch brought by aliens. Impressed by solving puzzles. The two were not seeking knowledge, but experienced it together, like a new worldview refreshed both at the same time. There is beauty and greatness brought by the moving. Big things are always shocking, and they can shine, which is really dazzling. There is a sadness that is destined to be separated, but because the two did not have a relationship, the so-called separation does not seem so justifiable. . .
Little thing 4, there is a bit of a weird place. Science fiction films are made like documentaries. There is a small loophole, the documentary makes the original thing move people in a detailed way. But it's weird in the context of a sci-fi movie. The male protagonist confronts the corpse of the victim. If they die because of war, it is worth moving, because it is possible in real life; if they die because of gangster attack, it is worth moving, because there are lawbreakers in real life, and if they die because of disease, it is also worth moving, Because there are all kinds of diseases in real life. But he died because of the monster attack. . . There are no monsters in reality. . .
Taking a social view of humanity in a sci-fi setting with little depth feels like arguing from a physics point of view that there is no reason why Cyclops in the X-Men can emit unlimited energy as an ordinary life form. . It's kind of funny
, but it's a good movie. . . 90 minutes to watch the film and 60 minutes to write a review. . . As I said at the beginning, it was two and a half hours.
