When it comes to the edge of tomorrow, let's start with Tom's legacy last year. Because there are so many similarities between the two. (Spoilers involved below) First of all, the protagonists are all Tom (nonsense →_→); secondly, the two Toms are involved in a long-term conspiracy, and this conspiracy involves many, many Tom brother (one is material and the other is time); and later is a stubborn heroine (bond girls are nothing compared to heavy metal bitch, and need a spare tire to make a sense of existence); and then to the end , are both a sad (pseudo) ending of the group destruction. After accumulating the audience's sympathy value, the film ends in an incredible way, which also leads to the difference between the two. That is, the ending of the leftover war has been serious for the whole movie, and the audience is completely happy to see it. After the edge of tomorrow made the audience laugh for the whole scene (→_→), the audience did not know why at the end, and the two ended in the same way. (Audience's complaints) It has to be said that it is a big regret of Tomko-style sci-fi films. However, the novelty and change of the two films are both eye-catching. The relatively slow-paced Lost Wars captures a lot of aesthetic control through bright and eye-catching art and dynamic soundtracks. The edge of tomorrow is in the storytelling. The anti-conventional and heavy logic above is even more impressive, and the next paragraph will elaborate.
Next, I would like to praise the behind-the-scenes creative staff headed by Doug Grimman, especially the editor, director and editor. A good time travel is fast but not chaotic, and many but not complicated. At this time, the logical thinking, scene scheduling and node setting of the above three are especially tested. If you take a wrong step, you will either go to boring repetition or go to "It's all the audience's fault that they don't understand". This time, on Edge of Tomorrow, Dougliman and others chose a very different editing method—writing a complicated time and space travel into a linear narrative with twists and turns (is this right →_→). That is to say, after Tom woke up in the military camp, fell into the battlefield, met with the squad, escaped from punishment and met the heroine, training at the heroine's camp, and the quarrel in the village between the hero and heroine, The male protagonist acted alone and escaped, the White House (why is there a White House in London...), blood transfusion, and the general attack in Paris as a time-space line, and the above time-space lines were cut and inserted into other time-space lines, and a new time was expanded. Line, generating countless new Tomboys. For example, Tomboy returned to the squad after training several times and then fell into the battlefield. This setting not only conforms to the setting of the loop (loop) of time, but also the audience's response to possible repetitions. There are new possibilities before getting bored, and it also makes the audience ignore possible bugs in their dizzying and anticipation (very few in similar themes). What is also commendable is the director's straightforward handling of emotions. The most notable is Tom's discouragement and perseverance after training several times with few results. He did not use too many male protagonists' confessions. He witnessed the change in the heart of the heroine's death several times and bullied the members of the j team after walking out of the training camp to show his change in his heart (Tang Ge praised this performance), and also deleted the urine point in the case of saving time, Let the literary drama go on without delay, which is a big improvement compared to the slow-paced Lost Battle Realm. Of course, the routine kiss of the male and female protagonists during the last attack still attracted a little dissatisfaction from the audience. Sounds, but the unspoken emotional progress of the male and female protagonists is a little more different than those dog-blooded love at first sight.
Under the ever-changing starring and director, there is still a theme to set off. Looking for happiness and self-satisfaction in the boring and repetitive days of Groundhog Day is the most profound and humane. Of course, source code, Westward Journey and Butterfly Effect also have their own strengths. Compared with this Edge of Tomorrow, it is much more popular. After all, we have to take care of the market, so we raised the flag of anti-war (Normandy or something is too obvious). The increasingly tired look, the secrets that the members of the J team had to tell, the heroine's distrust of people and the reasons behind it, the military's stubbornness and disregard for the lives of the people (which also made the last three hours of action all rely on A detachment can be considered a counter-convention in this regard. After all, most commercial films are the military's final realization.) It is not easy for everyone to show the so-called glory of war or the coolness of time travel. Of course, the overall form of expression is not easy. It was still compact and humorous. The audience was overjoyed several times. Even after Tom dies hundreds of times, the audience didn't feel sleepy. On the contrary, when he couldn't reload, I could still hear the audience shouting cheers when he was hiding from Alpha's tentacles. I have to say that the director's control of the audience's emotions is also first-class.
To sum up, this Groundhog Day version of Pacific Rim, although the subject matter is not new, the art is not brilliant, the final climax is a little nonsense, and the ending is a little bit sloppy, but it knows how to provoke the audience's mind but not. A good movie that treats the audience as fools, takes every step and has surprises, really needs to be pushed hard. After all, the weak Emily Blunt yoga pose is domineering and exposed as soon as it appears. Tom is rare in the first half, and all kinds of funny in the second half. The above two points were hard to see with a lantern in the past, and also, it evoked the glorious days when I was playing gameboy and shut down the file when I died.
Personal misconceptions:
1. The filming location is the same as the Harry Potter shooting base
2. Team J eating poker reminds me of a lot of old Hong Kong gambling movies
3. Tom's height is so black →_→
4 .The village scene inexplicably reminds me of Tom's World War and Emily Blunt's Ring Messenger
5. The scene of sneaking into the White House inexplicably reminds me of Mission Impossible 4
6. At the end, if Tommy wakes up again in the military camp masterpiece
7. Hey, did I see Erin Adler in Curly Fuli?
8. If the middle name of the heroine is called Lola, it is also a masterpiece
