Seeing the director's other works turned out to be the first season of The Exorcist, I suddenly understood why the film has this narrative style and picture style.
The director turned the movie into an American drama. Indeed, it is more inclined to the narrative method of American dramas , creating layers of suspense, and as the narrative advances, a personal figure emerges. The narrative used in the movie is too untouched. The way people love to watch is to explain and construct a dazzling worldview, and then tell a story. Seeing the concept map of aliens in other comments, I have to say that the director is a very thoughtful person, but this kind of thought is not fully reflected in the movie, which is a pity.
What makes me think this movie is very good is
1. From the beginning to the end, it is human beings who are fighting against human beings who dominate human beings and differentiate classes. Aliens exist and are everywhere, but they don't exist, they are huddled deep in the earth. Science fiction and aliens are just an inducement, and the story is about humans killing each other .
2. The director is really making a movie attentively. There is a detail that every time the inspector goes to find the prostitute, the prostitute has to play music. At first I thought it was to create the dark atmosphere of the movie, but after seeing it, I realized that it was actually to make the inspector's voice disappear. In the videotape.
3. It is purely personal like this narrative style and picture characteristics very much.
But the disadvantages are also very obvious
1. The ambition is too big to be able to cover everything. If you give the director the time for the 11 episodes of the American drama, it is estimated that the filming can be more complete? I feel that when I am talking about fun, it ends hurriedly due to time constraints
2. There are too many narrative bugs. For example, is the entire Chicago just such a small group of people rebelling against aliens? At the rally called by the aliens, everyone agreed with the law enforcement notice? Completely brainwashed in only nine years? emmm is totally unacceptable, humans surrendered when they came up? It's nonsense, I look down on humans too much.
3. I guess people watching this science fiction movie want to see aliens. Can you give me more shots?
forget it. I'm done here. . Say tired.
In general, one of the most likely scenarios for a movie to hit the street is that the director is ambitious and wants to shoot a different thing, but he fails to shoot it well. As a result, it does not enter the tastes of ordinary audiences, and the audience is narrow. But it still doesn't affect it. It is a movie with a shining point and a strong style, it is recommended .
