Just like Keigo Higashino wrote "Walk in the White Night" and then wrote "Magic Night", Bi Gan finished "Roadside Picnic" and made this "Last Night on Earth".

Maybe the original work, with some regrets of the director or writer, has become an obsession that cannot be let go after becoming famous.

Huang Jue and Tang Wei are already middle and high-level partners in literary films, but Ms. Tang Wei doesn't have much brilliance in the film, except for the role of Kaizhen at the end of the film, who is both WTO and innocent, and may be like herself.

The story I understand is about the male protagonist and his mother, and Wan Qiwen is also his mother, like her mother's past, what he pursues is his mother's shadow, which is the reason why she left.

It seems that the white cat is also in the past of the hero. He appeared on the train where the hero and heroine met for the first time, in front of the camera that ate the whole apple down, and then appeared in the hero's dream - the twelve-year-old, and Wan Qiwen The boy who lied to be knocked out was the same size as the boy who loved to play table tennis. He called him White Cat.

Anyway, the director said, no matter how you understand it, it is correct.

In the whole film, one of the scenes that impressed me the most is that the male protagonist installed a light bulb on a simple chandelier in a room that was leaking like rain. The rain hit the outer edge of the chandelier, splashing a thin layer of water mist, and at that moment, the light came on.

    A storytelling hotel can stay for a long time, a music karaoke hall will open, the house will revolve when you say spells, and all the places in your memory will have magical powers. You will be happy if you eat honey, you will be happy if you eat grapefruit, and you will be sad if you eat apples. All the food you have been worried about has emotions. I traveled through time and space, taught my children to play, bid farewell to my mother, and watched crystal chandeliers with my lover. The story will not be finished, the karaoke hall will not be demolished, the house will not be burnt, and it will go forever in a short period of time.

    "Earth" is completely different from "Roadside Picnic" in the way the story is handled. It is based on Hitchcock's "Victorius". The intertextual story of the two parts before and after is a narrative puzzle that needs to be connected with symbols. In essence, it is Nolan's narrative method of science and engineering. In the 2D reality part, the director first gave a variety of scattered symbols, such as bees, torches, fetuses, apples, table tennis, photos, wild grapefruit, white cats, eagles, playing cards, the names of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, etc. These clues cannot A series of complete narrative episodes. After reaching the 3D dream, these symbols reappear and are reorganized by the hero's subconscious mind. At this time, the information before and after can be reorganized into a clear story line in the audience's mind. A man has been hurt by the two most important women in his life. The man finally unlocked the knots related to the two women in his dream, and healed himself in a surreal romantic way. However, after waking up from the dream, and the amount of narrative information superimposed, the man's fate has become more uncertain. At this time the story is complete, the characters are three-dimensional, and the growth of the characters is complete, especially hard! ★★★★
