It's been 8 years since I watched the first movie. I rarely remember the time between watching two movies so clearly. If there is such a caveman who lived for 14,000 years in this world, he may indeed be Thinking of changing places again. In the setting of the movie, John's aging rate is so slow that he hardly ever gets old, but 8 years is enough to turn my world upside down.
At the beginning of the second part, I was very curious. The director arranged for John a girlfriend, and how would he end the relationship in the end. The result was very simple and rude: John just said directly that I was leaving. And he said it righteously, because he had a word with his girlfriend long ago, and he would move on sooner or later, but his girlfriend didn't expect him to take it seriously. If John is really no different from ordinary people except that he lives longer, then I don't think he really needs to be in love, or—in his first one or two hundred relationships, he's already used to parting, or Become unusually indifferent and don't take love seriously.
The addition of 4 college students makes me feel that this movie is a bit downgraded. Even if we want to add this kind of character, we should also add prodigy-level students. In the first film, there are real professors in various fields chatting, The audience also enjoys the crackling of these academic bulls when they collide with each other. When they are sitting on the sofa chatting, you are embarrassed to hold the popcorn in your hands. You are looking up at them and constantly guide them towards the mystery. the depths of the walk. The second part contains the following elements: The first is the obvious racial and gender equality. There are two men and two women in black, white, and yellow, and even Asians (of course, Asians are very suitable to appear in the This occasion); the second is a religious fanatic to be the bad guy, and at the same time he will push the plot to a climax; the last is to sneak into the room to find evidence, and use a stun gun to force John to stay. These are really the hallmarks of mediocre films.
I thought it would be a prequel, such as how he sailed with Columbus, how he made friends with Vincent van Gogh, and the possibility that he was one of those mysterious figures in history. At least, it would be a very new angle. The second part, there is nothing new, there is nothing new in the preaching of religion.
In the end, I will still sigh with emotion, a person who has lived for 14,000 years will really be lonely.
