The opening of Cannes with this genre film this year is a bit unprepared. Judging from the star lineup, it is absolutely not bad. After all, it can gather so many big names, as well as the gods of the music industry. A director can have such great ability, Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson and Wes Anderson have had a brilliant record. This time, Jia Muxu has exhausted his favor cards and summoned most of the actors who had collaborated in the past to participate in the filming of this zombie film. Although this unreasonable strategy of playing cards is not the first, he had a vampire theme similar to Tilda Swinton's "Only Love Eternal Life", but Jamusch is far from a master of subversive genre movies. Let people experience too many alarming fables under the skin of the zombie film. The whole film is full of strange and embarrassing laughs, as well as a denser culture of fascination. From "Star Wars" to "Lord of the Rings" to "Terror", it is admirable and admired. This kind of very literary and artistic The way of throwing schoolbags has also appeared in "Only Love Eternal Life". In addition, the director used self-referential methods to create an interesting meaning of "meta-movie", which is a kind of little surprise in the ordinary. However, the narrative of this genre is not satisfactory. At first, the sense of suspense was created quite good, but the horror and horror atmosphere was not really established before it was completely resolved by the actor's expressions and humorous dialogue. After that, the understatement of reality critique surfaced in a messy plot. The irony of consumerism in today's society and the revealing of the media's manipulation of the people's psychology only surfaced and failed to reach the essence. The well-known cast did not bring much freshness and chemistry, especially the alien plot played by Tilda Swinton is inexplicable. On the contrary, I was impressed by the several actors who played the zombies. Iggy Pop and female zombies who attacked the owner and staff of the restaurant are the most prominent.
