I watched this movie with my friends in Taiwan, and after watching 1/3 of my friends, I said, 'Do you think the pace of this movie is too slow', halfway through, my friend said, 'Why are the people in here so inexplicable? ', at the end of the film, 'Hurry up, go to the bathroom, it's really ugly'.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The rhythm of the movie is very slow, (the heroine drinks alcohol - returns to her hometown - finds her friends) - (the monster appears - discovers that the monster is herself - the robot appears) - (two conflict - fight - the heroine wins ), if the movie is divided into three parts, the most boring first part takes up nearly 1/2 of the time, and it is inevitable that some people will feel bored.
Even if the foreshadowing in the early stage is so long, it will still make people feel inexplicable at the climax. The female protagonist has been drinking too much and thought it was a powerful foreshadowing. The male protagonist's character foreshadowing is not clever enough. people.
The above are the opinions of friends who watch movies together.
In my opinion, "Behemoth" is still interesting. It is the screenwriter's interpretation of the theme of "inferiority." In the same way, he infinitely magnifies his themes of "inferiority" and "racism".
In fact, the screenwriter's portrayal of the characters is quite interesting. The heroine rejects returning to her hometown and conceals the facts because of inferiority; the boyfriend can't stand his girlfriend's mediocrity and does nothing, and he can't save face to go to his girlfriend because of inferiority; Two basic friends, one is inferior because of drug use, and the other is inexplicable and inferior because of inexplicable lack of self-confidence; all these inferiority complexes are magnified to the extreme, and they are the male protagonist, and the inferiority complex is extreme.
The contradiction in the whole story is also that the male protagonist's inferiority finally found his self-identity in the female protagonist's downfall, but after learning that the female protagonist was a giant beast 'showing the limelight', the inferiority came back again, and he could only use it as a robot in the sky above Seoul. Noisy and diminished.
In fact, it is quite interesting to magnify this expression of human nature to the level of 'Ultraman Monster'. The slightly absurd methods used by the director and screenwriter are also acceptable, but the acceptance is not high. The problem is that it is not professional. From the perspective of movie lovers, if there is no way for all the audience to receive what the director wants to express, it must be the director's problem.
I want to give it three stars, but people around me will give it one star, so I will summarize it.
