love?
adventure?
It is rare to see movies of this type, Internet celebrity, Internet, curiosity, adventure, love.
I like Emma very much. I have seen several of her youth movies, especially after she acted in the horror movie "Scream 4", I feel that her acting has improved a lot, and I like her more and more.
The movie heroine is a bit old-fashioned, a nerd, a wallflower, has a nerdy male friend, and a rich and beautiful girlfriend who has a crush on the famous people in the school.
(Spoiler!) The story centers around a popular game called 'Nerve' (similar to Truth or Dare), which generally has only two players, the spectator and the challenger. Challengers are to challenge all kinds of "big adventures", and they will get various cash rewards after completion. The spectator is to like the challengers they like, become their fans, and can vote for the challenger's challenge content.
The female protagonist was rejected by her crush, and in a depressed mood, she signed up for the game and became a challenger. She wants to change her rigid life and challenge herself. When doing the first challenge, she met the male protagonist, who is also the challenger of the Nerve game, and then, under the decision of the spectators, they became partners, accepted the next challenge, and competed with other challengers. In the process, they not only got rich cash returns, but also sparks between the male and female protagonists. Well, seeing this is the rush of youthful urban love, but, fortunately, the plot then took a turn for the worse. Our heroine complained about Bai Fumei's friend in front of the male lead, but was stared at by Bai Fumei, who was also a challenger at the party. (It is worth mentioning that since the heroine registered for the game, her mobile phone camera was turned on, and the spectators could keep watching her.) Then, at the instigation of the heroine, the heroine took him to Bai Fumei. As a result, the heroine and Bai Fumei had a torn battle and broke up unhappily.
Do you still remember the heroine's nerdy male friend, ahem, he had a crush on the heroine and had a crush on the rival who appeared, only to find out on a secret website that the hero was a participant in the previous Nerve, and his partner had an accident during the game death. Moreover, it is his task to bring the heroine to the party and watch her and his girlfriends torment. Yes, the sparks created by the male and female protagonists and the conflict between the female protagonist and her best friend are all what spectators want to see, and the female protagonist has been led by the nose. The heroine who learned the truth, in a fit of rage, went to the police and became a whistleblower who could never be done. He was knocked out and taken away, and became another kind of participant, a prisoner. Only by winning the finals can you be free. Otherwise, you have to keep participating and cannot resist. Because when registering the game, it is fingerprint registration, and all the content, identity, relatives and friends, accounts on the Internet about you are controlled by this game. It has to be said that the internet is a double-edged sword and sometimes scary.
The ultimate game is the competition of the two highest scorers, the male lead and the female lead. I thought the male protagonist was a proper scheming guy. Poor, the male protagonist is also a prisoner. He went to the police because of the death of a friend last year, but he couldn't help himself. The content of the final is that the two of them who shoot at each other first will win. The male and female protagonists were unwilling and tried to convince the spectators at the scene to quit the game. The third-place challenge that was jumped out was voted on by the audience and spectators from all over the world. The camera even showed Bai Fumei's friends on the ground whether the third place would accept the shooting challenge. The result, of course, was a sarcastic "yes".
The ending of this movie once again confirmed that nerds, tech nerds save the world. At the end of the challenge, the heroine set up a game, through Bai Fumei & nerd & his computer expert friends, to make those spectators who choose "yes" invisible, accuse them of being murder accomplices by their real names, and then these people , quit the game for fear of being fleshed out.
When everyone quits the game, the prisoners are free.
I think the film is very clear, the plot is tight, and the actors are very eye-catching. Of course, the biggest success is a satire and a wake-up call to the status quo of the Internet society. It seems that separated by a screen, people's sympathy and right and wrong views are cut off, and they become ignorant and indifferent. But at the same time, the double-edged sword of the Internet can reveal your true identity.
This movie amazes me, I recommend it, and it's worth watching.
