To be honest, the audience of "Skyscrapers" is very narrow. The eye-catching thing is not the novel of the same name adapted from "Master of Doomsday Novels", but the starring role of "Night Shift Manager". Some people even say that a film can be seen in the movie. "Nude" is also very worthwhile. It is true that Dousen is not only a powerful group, but also a little white face, with a textured figure. To exaggerate, one look can kill a group of female fans, but the obscurity of "Skyscraper" makes the viewers a bit brain-burning. After reading a lot of comments, Generally speaking, I don't understand it, so in my opinion, "Skyscraper" is another clear stream in the film and television industry. It does not ask for the audience, but the choice of the main body. This feeling is just right for me.
There are a lot of foreshadowings in this film, there are two obvious ones, Hitherto just moved to a skyscraper, and the question from the woman in the hospital. Regarding the former, Dousen's attitude has already become prominent. Although he does not rule out modern life, the questioning that is lost remains in the bottom of his heart. This is the first time this film gave me a sense of loss. Dousen was smoking a cigarette and leaning against the wall. Bian looked alone at the box full of boxes; about the latter, it was also very clear that the woman said to Hirst, "You didn't make a decision." Although the film never revealed it, the "psychiatrist" doctors seemed to be all over the place at the time. Thinking of another way out, I have the same feeling at the end of the movie. "Psychiatry" is like a watchman, but the "watcher" has also become "sick" in the criticism of the times. This is what skyscrapers give to watching movies. original thinking.
Hidden is a very interesting person. In a skyscraper divided into three classes, he can live at the bottom and touch the emotions of high-level people. In this film, Hidden is positioned as a witness, witnessing the fusion of classes. And contradictions, witness the unstoppable blood-flesh conflict between the bottom and the high. But it turned out that Hirst was unable to reconcile these contradictions, just like the people who designed the building in the first place, everything was illusory.
"Skyscrapers" and "Snowpiercer" are both depictions of urban life, the difference lies in one vertical depiction and one horizontal cut. The combination of the two films can better allow people to understand the so-called law of the jungle, and survival of the fittest is already the only way to live in this way. The three classes share the same resources, there is no high or low, only forbearance and madness can listen to songs at midnight, while the weak can only jump off the building, cut their wrists, and give up on themselves. This is the interesting part of this film. But not so clear.
In addition, "Skyscraper" has a touch of "Birdman"
aftertaste. When all dreams are gone, all ideals have disappeared, and he can only resign his soul in this life, but Hutson is different. He doesn't think this is the end of life, but finds it at the end. The tension of life opens a new "party" in the existing state of mind.
The aftertaste of "Skyscraper" still exists, the narrative is neither slow nor slow, and the rhythm is relaxed and powerful, which makes me have new expectations for expressionist films. As for the "disappearing floor" of this film, I think it is "the other side's philosophy about a kind of life, and this charm is always accompanied by destruction."
