1. Summary of the story
All the fun of Miles, a worker bullied by his boss, lies in being a keyboard man and making pen wars with people, and he angered Riktor, the founder of the cruel live broadcast platform Skizm. Riktor takes someone into Miles's house and knocks him unconscious. Upon waking up, Miles found that his hands were nailed to two pistols, each with 50 bullets. Before he got used to it, Nix, who was sent by Skizm to fight him, knocked him out of the house. Miles tried to ask the police for help, but made a mistake and injured the police. He tried to ask for help from his ex-girlfriend Nova, who still had a good impression, but he was driven out of the car with a gun. Miles desperately wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by a homeless man. With the help of the homeless man, he changed into his clothes and came to the company to uninstall the remote location program Nix installed on his mobile phone. The boss who bullied Miles appeared. This time Miles plucked up the courage to resist the boss. Nix quickly caught up and headed the boss. In the process of chasing and fleeing, Miles found that Nix was afraid of flames.
At the same time, the whole process of Miles' escape was broadcast live on Skizm, and audiences all over the world were affected by the fate of Miles. Nova called the police and found that the attitude of the two police officers was very negative. One of the policemen liked to put M&M beans on the table. The police monitored Nova's mobile phone. Once Miles made a call, the police could determine the location of Miles.
Miles decided to take the initiative. He deliberately opened the mobile phone location at the waste car treatment plant and lured Nix. He happened to encounter two groups of drug trafficking gangs dealings. The situation became very chaotic, and the police caught Miles. In the police car, Miles knew that one of the police officers was Nix's father. He decided to use Miles as a bait to arrest Nix. When Nix was a child, he witnessed Riktor burn his mother and brother to death, leaving a psychological shadow and becoming a criminal.
At this time, another policeman shot Nix's father headshot and showed Miles the video of Rictor hijacking Nova, warning Miles not to think about calling the police anymore. The Skizm game is far from over. Miles meets Nix and is shot by Nix. Riktor used the drone to see everything and sent someone to transport Miles' body back to the headquarters. Miles did not die. It turned out that he had acted in partnership with Nix earlier, using Nix's father's body armor to pretend to be dead and found the Skizm headquarters.
Miles and Nix shot the enemy frantically, and the bullets in the guns quickly decreased. Miles discovered that Skizm is already a worldwide organization and sent the direct branch addresses to his mailbox. During the fight, Nix had two fingers cut off by a muscular man. Riktor took advantage of the chaos to intimidate Nova and him on the roof to escape by helicopter. In order to cover Miles, Nix died with the enemy in the big bang. At this moment, she defeated the fear in her heart. Miles saw the mark left by Nova's wit and ran to the roof. After the only remaining bullet was hit, Miles was shot many times by Rictor. However, he defeated Riktor with only his hands, put Nix's finger into Riktor's mouth and threw Riktor from the top of the building.
Nova regained his dream of being a cartoonist and created a superhero based on Miles; Miles discovered his ambition, and he decided to go all over the world to completely eradicate the sinful Skizm organization.
2. Comments
This film is already very interesting as a B-level film with a rich game perspective. From the beginning of Nix's headshots and bloodshots, it has established the lively atmosphere of the film.
The story type can be classified as the "troublesome guy type" in "Save the Cat" (that is, how an ordinary person is suddenly placed in an extremely extraordinary situation, how does he deal with it).
Miles (played by Daniel Radcliffe) is a cowardly keyboard man in real life and a virtual world of justice. He has a still caring ex-girlfriend who is as strong and stupid as an American high school football quarterback. At the beginning of the extreme decadence, he didn't even bother to sit up with beer, wear a long pajamas and cotton shoes. Suddenly he was nailed with a pistol in both hands, and his journey of growth and adventure began.
Nailing a pistol is a metaphorical setting, which symbolizes that Miles will have to expose his aggressiveness, and life will change as a result. The first person to see his pistol is the policeman, who fled and fired by mistake. The police passage cannot withstand scrutiny, but it is suitable as a fuse for Miles to deviate from his normal life, which indicates that he can no longer maintain his status as a striker with no criminal record. The second one to see his pistol was his ex-girlfriend Nova. Through Miles’ dreams, we know that Nova has the dream of a cartoonist but is also trapped at work. When Nova saw Miles's pistol, his first reaction was to attack with pepper spray and call the police. It showed us that even in front of the closest people, once a person exposes impulse and aggressiveness that is not recognized by society, there will be nowhere. Shelter. Miles wanted to commit suicide in the old clothes recycling bin and was blocked by a tramp. That was the beginning of his giving up his old identity. He took off his warm and decadent dead house clothes, put on a lean killer costume, and ate the tramp. Han's sausage. The image of the tramp is similar to the old comrade-in-arms in "Forrest Gump", showing extraordinary wisdom while being decadent. Miles got the most selfless help from the tramp, which marked his abandoning his exquisite life as an office employee and fighting for survival.
Fully armed Miles returned to the office and met the athlete boss. He took out his pistol and no longer suppressed his anger. He truly became a man. Through his angry narrative, we learned that the boss deducted his salary for attending his mother’s funeral. , This made Miles' resistance more just, but he still had the urge to shrink, when Nix exploded the boss's head.
Miles’ enemies are bad, not only the neurotic Riktor, but also the Skizm system as a background and metaphor. We knew from the very beginning that Nix and him actually had the same disease, both individuals who were alienated by the system and could not escape. The Skizm system turns everyone into a tool, fixes everyone in their own perspective, and turns a blind eye to the pain of others. The three groups of viewers who frequently appear: Internet cafes, men in the locker room, and people in the bar. Compared with the passers-by in Isaka Kotaro’s "Golden Dreamland", the passers-by in this film are more passionate about the live broadcast, and therefore more cold-blooded. The film is more and more portrayed. The image of the spectator makes one can't help but sigh that Lu Xun is really insightful to human nature.
The right awkwardness of Riktor calling to reserve a helicopter seat is like a creator trying to excuse himself: this is a story, don’t be too serious. So when he took Nova upstairs and shot the traitor policeman, I already guessed the plot and no longer felt a little nervous. Nix has been a hot girl as a tool man from the beginning. When her catalyst mission is completed, she can go offline brilliantly. Her fight with a muscle man is like "Lucy". The part of the finger is cut off to see the blood. Ben Zhang.
This film tells us that the aggression that is no longer suppressed may mess up our work, or it may make us heroes.
