This movie is classified by me as a half-black science fiction film. The bottom line is that technology has made the barriers between mankind bigger and bigger. The reason why I underestimated this film is that this barrier is simply the disparity between the rich and the poor. And the director entangled this contradiction between the rich and the poor between a worker and his friends, a ninja, two mercenaries, three or five robots, and it happened around a bed that can cure all diseases and prosper life. A series of crackling events.
It's so disappointing. This stunning director followed the trend of Hollywood industry and embarked on the path of making small troubles, big money, big money, big idiots.
In the movie, the director first embodies a space station high above the ground, and then metaphors it from the distance to the ground and the shape of the five-star ring. This is a high class. Director Bromkamp named the space station Elysium, simply trying to use the height, shape, and even a huge Elysium logo to tell the audience that this is the land of bliss. Judging from the description of the movie, palm trees, sunshine, bikinis, swimming pools, parties, it is really pale to call it Elysium. The Quran tells us that there are 72 virgins waiting for us in heaven, and in this movie, bliss is nothing more than the material realm of a local tyrant living in South Africa. If it weren’t for a bed that can cure all kinds of diseases, I really can’t think of why human beings at the bottom of the world would bother to risk the oppression and danger of being bombarded by missiles from the snakehead pit, and tirelessly want to fly to that space station. Inside.
And the human world was not so miserable at that time. The director used subtitles to tell us that the tragedy of the earth is mainly due to two or three reasons: first, environmental pollution, and second, population growth. The aerial photography of the film’s opening also gave a group of birds flapping their wings and flying over the city; the future of Los Angeles is harmonious, regardless of race, country, skin color, gender, living in harmony, having a good meal, and having a good law and order. , Children play football all over the street. Except that there are a lot of people on the street (the Chinese people have no pressure), nothing else. Besides, when you were chased by the police, there were still people covering you. What kind of rotten place is this? The biggest problem in the slums of Rio de Janeiro is the issue of public security. Trying to use a well-secured replica of Rio as a tragic symbol of the earth’s future is obviously wrong.
In this film, the director’s simple and contradictory film symbols made my watching process very unpleasant. I am very fond of directors. The cold humor of the ninth district in 2009 has been affecting me. And at the beginning of this film, the director also inherited some styles of the ninth district well. For example, the robot parole officer who looks like a coin-operated Trojan at the entrance of a supermarket. But the director's past aura also ends here.
The current media like to attribute the success of the double-better art box office movies to social and psychological factors. For example, the Titanic and slum millionaires. But this does not mean that to make a successful science fiction film, it must be linked to the current social reality to cater to the public's psychology. And this kind of catering seems to me a failure. There are many entry points for this film, such as class struggle, flesh-and-blood factories, underground labor unions, resistance organizations, dual urban-rural hukou system, and so on. It's all very appetizing to me. Moreover, the previous director spared no effort to pave the way for a society with many problems, but the director unbelievably chose universal medical insurance as the entry point and mission of the protagonist. This is about reality and caters to current events. But the film too weakened the other elements of the story, which made the bed infinitely magnified in the audience’s impression, and even finally magnified in the director’s own mind. The huge worldview finally fell on the bed with various shots. This kind of feature, the contradiction is related, the contradiction is solved. Without this bed, I would not see the need for this film to be called Bliss Space. And if you put the bliss space on this longevity bed, the space will be full.
I don't know why the director chose a bed as a clue. I can only guess for no reason. Maybe when I talk about medical insurance, my mental realm will soar instantly. I feel compassion and compassion, and my whole person is sublimated and noble in an instant. Just like in the movie, the male protagonist desperately wants to go to heaven, and finally fights for the human health care reform for life; just like the movie depicts the group of profiteering snakeheads, for the sake of human health care reform, inexplicably one hundred and eighty degrees became a resistance army, shouting a few slogans. , Really contributed to the medical reform.
