This film is a bit inexplicable. After watching it, it feels like more than an hour has passed without knowing how. And I don’t know what type of film I’m watching. I only know that it’s a commercial film, an American blockbuster. After thinking about it, it’s appropriate to classify it as a sci-fi category. There are human disasters in the story, but there is no rendering of disaster scenes. There are horror elements, but no horror. Atmosphere, Will Smith's temperament is also difficult to link with lonely Xiao Sha.

After watching the film, I went to the Internet to read other people's comments. Most of them thought the film was boring. It's strange that this film has more box office than "The Lord of the Rings". It's different. People's local customs gave birth to Will Smith's appeal. However, when I was writing and thinking about it, why did I doubt the mental state of Americans?

I liked the beginning part of this film very much. The whole city was empty. Only Will Smith was free and accompanied by a cute dog. The evil earthlings finally encountered disaster, and the earth creatures re-emerged in the city. The animals are full of vitality and the sun is shining brightly, and the strange buildings built by human beings glow with a dilapidated and indifferent beauty. They record history like totems and have the texture of ancient cultural relics. No noise, no air pollution, the city finally released its unique calm from the manic state of human beings. The tall buildings full of glass stand in the yellowed concrete buildings and talk about a past world, and the earth ushered in a new day. , in the sun, Jing is the most beautiful sound, there is no music, and then there is music, Bob Marley's singing does not spoil the atmosphere of the new day, his music has a warm sunshine in the morning, the sunshine through the window, Will Smith cooks leisurely. The feeling of being alone between heaven and earth is really indescribable, indescribable, I sit somewhere in China on the earth, and in the tone of this scene, the memory of listening to the radio as a child freely jumps out of my mind, and the rustling noise of the radio is a movie. Songs from Handsome Boys - The last rose in summer, the old professor introduced the title and songwriter in a tone unique to that era, that voice has changed over time and gained innocence, if it is still that voice, in some leisurely place. In the afternoon, it is such a wonderful memory to calmly say that people on earth will encounter a devastating virus in 2012. In my fantasy, I am naturally a character similar to Will Smith, a survivor, with immunity. After watching this film, I realized my dislike for human beings more deeply. Although I am human, human beings like me are definitely a minority. Is it possible that human beings generally hate human beings, so this movie is so popular with audiences? No, the United States is a developed country, and it has never experienced the period of drastic changes that I, a small Chinese, have experienced. It is very harmonious and powerful. It seems that there is no overly strong and impetuous social form at this time, and literary and artistic works are also less bitter. Deep, has always been dominated by lighthearted humor, supplemented by horror and thrillers, and fantasy blockbusters have flooded the market.

I have always been afraid to speculate on human beings with the greatest malice, just like I speculated on the sly smile in the director's heart when he watched Will Smith talk to the plastic model behind the monitor, and finally can spend time alone in the video store, which is already a Private warehouse, watch whatever you want, pornographic films are placed on the counter, you can take them as you want, you don't need to care about any vision, although the characters explained in the script should be lonely and desperate, but how do I think he is mocking him mischievously everyday life off-screen. What a romantic film, no crime in the sun, no mutants, dealing with things on a shore desk, golfing on the wings of an airplane, if one could dig out more in such a romantic and lonely atmosphere How fascinating it must be to have a beautiful and slightly sad scene, and then there are other people who are sad and cherish their surviving lives, especially the opposite sex. It's a pity, inexplicably, the battle with the infected virus mutated into a zombie similar to the Resident Evil started, but it's not bad, not as boring as the zombies in Resident Evil, you know how to show your teeth and claws, how to say the following paragraphs are still very interesting Atmospheric, zombies have characters and strategies, although their IQs are not high after infection. The smell of this film is really different from the previous Hollywood. Even the zombies have a naughty side and play pranks. The paragraphs where the zombies are set up have the same feeling as the whole film. They do not attract you with suspense or excitement. All situations can stimulate curiosity. I don't know if this strange feeling comes from the original novel, but I always feel that there is a taste of the novel, that is, the American blockbuster director always has to express some positive ideas in a mission-based manner, and mixes the good feeling created in the first half into an inexplicable, originally like me. In this way, those who read novels indiscriminately from a young age, at the beginning, realize the fun of reading Western novels when they are young. There is always some strange literature that was once introduced as a pioneer, but in the second half of the film, I don’t know how to change it into something else. Will Smith The paintings of Van Gogh hanging on the walls of the home are nothing, how come it became a martyr praise, there is no echo with the beginning, and the atmosphere and emotions are inexplicably changed.

The director or screenwriter is an idealist, but Will Smith's character did not reflect what the director wanted from the script, or the director did not take care of the script and the actors arranged some scenes. I speculate that the original intention was to show an overly idealistic Man, this man is not as crazy as Van Gogh, the crazy is those human beings who have no immunity, they are swallowed up by selfish evil and can only survive in the dark. It's really weird that such a theme is represented in a blockbuster, and it's very clearly read out from the lines, but the characters are not reflected at all. In the scene of killing the dog, I wanted to get a little emotional, but the effect was very awkward. It's not too difficult for an American director to be a director. There seems to be a problem with the script. Emma Thompson played a female doctor who only appeared on TV. I doubt she should have appeared in the second half. The beginning is somewhat similar to the Spanish film "Open Your Eyes", but the atmosphere is completely different, which naturally reveals the director's yearning for the destruction of the human world. Francis Lawrence, you are not alone, I have the same yearning as you, and many viewers hide this yearning.

Another advantage of this theme is that it is more suitable for advertisements than "Fate Call Forwarding", to see which products are still in good condition and fresh in 2012. It seems that the director has not explored this utility very much. Advertise it.

Will Smith's daughter is very cute, and he is still his daughter in the film.
