This is a film that uses a sci-fi coat to decorate family and love. Americans show decisiveness in love between men and women and family affection, which is in stark contrast to the lingering and aftertaste of the oriental flavor. If you are used to drinking fresh matcha tea, a love burger is actually a good choice. And Hollywood doesn't forget to show off its stunts even when making youth films, and sci-fi youth/romance films have also become one of its signatures.
In fact, Hollywood often uses sci-fi themes to tell emotional stories, such as "Midnight Escape", "Reverse World", "Jupiter Rising", including the slightly bloody "Twilight" series. When creating a sense of loneliness at the beginning of "Back to Mars", similar to "Moon" and "Another Earth", it uses the long distance between outer space and the earth to generate depression and alienation, and then creates a feeling of sympathy and sadness. character of. The little male protagonist watched those black and white movies from the earth on Mars (this kind of bridge is quite profound in "Prometheus", the Mars boy at this time is like the robot David, looking forward to the real human life), and recites it repeatedly Lines, yearning for everything on earth. The director even brought out such depressive masterpieces of Wenders' "Under the Berlin Sky" several times, letting the lonely boy born on Mars "look down" on the earth through the computer screen like an angel, seeking a pair of eyes that found him. .....It seems to be the rhythm of a sci-fi literary film?
However, the peaceful life of Mars in 16 years was broken by the arrival of puberty. With the emergence of the bohemian heroine (the ghost knows how the hero hooked up with such a netizen through chat software on Mars), and the rapid rise of the male hero's hormones, the film Jump to the youth film of popular taste all at once.
"Fugitive Mandarin Ducks" and the adults chasing them together form the framework of the road film. The heroine full of courage (ruffian) takes this young friend who has just landed on the earth on a free and easy journey to find his father, and the locomotive flies. , Angry planes, stealing cars on the road... The boldness of the American hardcore youth really makes people want to follow the restless desire, the blue coast, the flying hot air balloons, the desolate and magnificent national parks, etc. These moving scenery , which is the thrill that road films often bring to the audience. Most of the time, the pursuit of the "villains" has become very tasteless, weakening the story line, allowing the hero and heroine to enjoy the sweetness of love on the road, and the youthful atmosphere of the film is more evident. At the same time, the emotionally rendered soundtrack is also very eye-catching in the film, which is very consistent with the passionate soundtracks in "Genius Gunner", and the aphrodisiac effect of several episodes is obvious.
After breaking the repression and literature and art at the beginning, the film takes the film to a regular route through the rapidly heating up love settings of the male and female protagonists. Without the debate and thinking about survival between the earth and Mars, the male protagonist said "You like the earth the most." The question of what is so sci-fi tender has also lost its weight. Sixteen years of dreams and desires for the earth, along with the pursuit of parents, the male protagonist in the earth stage seems to need more emotional catharsis, but the excessive love between men and women reduces the expression of this aspect. In the final climax, Gary Oldman's father risked his life to break through the gravity of the earth with a spaceship, and rejuvenate the male protagonist's life by rushing into space. Preliminary foreshadowing faded.
The final Super Happy Ending also shows the film's pure youth film orientation. Even if you can occasionally smell a touch of literary and artistic flavor while watching the movie, the aftertaste is full of the strong fragrance of popcorn. This may be the reason why this film, although it has a good entry point, fails to resonate deeply in the plot. Simple expressions such as "where there is love is home" and "the courage to pursue love" Let the film fall into the ordinary stream. Well, in fact, not every youth science fiction film has to be as depressing and desperate as "Don't Let Me Go". After all, no matter how tragic the plot is, such as "Twilight", the audience only pays for handsome guys and beautiful girls. It is the real popular style and box office style.
