Adapted from Master Stephen King's novel "Dream and Cry"
When I was in college, my hobby was watching movies. From the movies, I can see the strangeness of another world. I first saw "Dream Catcher" in the winter of 2003. I just graduated from university and I rented a house near the university. The university cinema often shows excellent works. Watching a movie at night after work is also a good way to relax. Time flies, and 17 years have passed since 2020. When I recall this movie again, I am still impressed. Recall this video and post some personal opinions, for your reference!
"Dream Catcher" movie adaptation of Stephen King 's novel "Cry robbery dream", depicts delicate masterpieces, fully expressed in a very clear and limited two-hour movie which is indeed very difficult, the director can say that the book The details are fully explained. The whole movie is extremely colorful, but what ultimately conveys to the audience is a fragmented message.
At the beginning of the film, the rhythm is relatively slow, and the pictures and shots are simple. The beginning of the film describes the different life states of four friends who have played since childhood. Each of them has different special abilities, and these abilities have helped them achieve success in life or work. Twenty-five years later, the four children of that year have grown up long ago. They went their own way and worked hard for their own lives and future. However, when the hunting season comes every year, they still have to meet again in the forests of Maine. Happy memories of Wen's childhood. This year, everything at the party was normal until a blizzard raged without warning and trapped them in the forest. At the same time as the blizzard, there was also an evil force from outer space, this horror. The forces tried to control mankind from this small town in order to contain it: open their dusty memories of the past, find their "dream catcher", and defeat the enemy with the magical power they had in childhood.
The film starts from a gathering of friends, and uses interspersed narratives in the middle to recall the time of childhood friends. The director meticulously explained every detail to the audience. The characterization of each protagonist’s different personality characteristics brought them closer. The distance to the audience. Everyone looks like ordinary people around us, but they have little secrets of their own special abilities. The first half of the plot is relatively slow and trivial.
The sudden force in the second half of the film, the alien invasion method and the strong reaction of the military, contrasted sharply with the slow and relaxed narrative in the first half of the film, making the audience nervous. The plot continues to climax. The four partners use their abilities to fight against the aliens step by step. The tension continues to escalate until the dust settles in the last scene of the movie, which makes people impressed after watching.
On the other hand, in the movies of recent years, the ending is nothing more than an open ending, or leaving an introduction to promote the follow-up sequel. As an independent work, the film has been made into this structure is still very few. The plot is a bit trivial and slow, in sharp contrast to the intense excitement that follows. It is recommended that interested friends come and have a look.
In short, I personally think that this is an excellent work worthy of close scrutiny and neglect.
