Taste the worst of life, but still love it

With the mysterious and cold shell of "Alien" and the grand humanistic feelings of "Interstellar", tell a Villeneuve version of "She": another world that is clearly science fiction, but it is only about human emotions; Mingming literature and art It is as freehand and romantic as a landscape painting, but the essence of scientific insight and philosophical thinking flows in the bones. Only this time, even if omniscient and omnipotent look through the long river of time, foresee the sorrows of life and death, know every detail and lonely destination, but still firmly believe in the established trajectory of life, do not hope to change and not needlessly struggle, and accept, experience, and live towards death. Feeling and loving, it really proves the sentence that I love very much: to taste all kinds of unbearable life, and then still love it! You study language like a mathematician. Great science fiction has a humble heart, and it is not only science fiction, but philosophy.

The script has a unique perspective, and the lines have meaningful meanings. Although there is no advanced theory to crush IQ, not everyone can understand it. "Even if you master all the communication methods, you still can't change your loneliness" is equivalent to "even if you recognize every word, you still can't understand a movie" - the science fiction of linguistics liberal arts students is even worse than the science fiction of theoretical physics; The sound effects are amazing, the whale-like deep and heavy brings the reincarnation across time and space and the sense of ritual and solemnity like fate, which complements the lonely sound of "Interstellar"; the intrusive photography and circular editing are very special, without Roger .Dickins, Villeneuve can still put his own unique label on each shot. The gloomy and cramped "Prisoner", the hard-line realism of "Border Slayer", and the long and long journey of "Arrival", Villeneuve continues to bring surprises. Suspense, war, science fiction, although each has its own splendor, but the author's temperament is obvious, and another "Nolan" is solid.

Another: the existence of a powerful Celestial Dynasty, bellicose and martial, personal feeling is very accurate.
