In fact, the first time I heard about this film, I really didn't like it. You can't say that because of Tom, I went to watch it immediately. Now I regret that I didn't watch the premiere when I was in Denmark... Really At the beginning, I didn't say any special propaganda (compared to the previous blockbusters), plus the posters that were similar to the previous "Lost in the Battlefield" and seemed familiar, it felt like a word, vulgar.
Of course, I couldn't stand the bombardment of word of mouth and Tom's beautiful face (although he is old now = =), the first thing after returning to China was to go to see it excitedly.
The plot, I want to know what will happen, so I won't say more. But even so, it's still an extremely pleasant viewing experience, and one can imagine how wonderful this film is.

As expected, Tommy has shown his iconic smile from the very beginning, and every moment of laughing makes me sigh, where has the time gone!

But what I want to say is, Brother Tom, you are so cowardly and timid in the beginning, do your family know that! What do you think of that Ethan Hunt who challenges impossible missions all day long? What do you make top gun maverick think? What do you think of Ron, who was born on July 4th? What did you make the last samurai think?

And when the big boss came out, I was messed up in the theater. I don't know anything about that black thing, it's probably very ecstatic, if it weren't for the blue light, I really want to say, Venom-kun, you don't follow your male god little spider well , what are you doing here to run wild! The earth is very dangerous, so stay with the little bug, he will protect you.

Then after this product was killed, the feature film began.

Director, are you sure that the title of this film is not a million ways to die in the future? Would it be an unspeakable name?

Really happy to hear it! Audience friends, you are welcome to watch the special program "A Thousand Ways to Die" to welcome the college entrance examination. Tired of the unbeatable Xiaoqiang on the screen? Let's applaud and welcome our special guest today, Tom, who used to fly over the eaves and walls, speeding cars and flying a plane and climbing the Burj Khalifa alone! ! ! In today's special program, we will bring you the long-awaited, Tommy Tom's death by tricks competition again and again.

Angry Omega: Full marks for posture, full marks for heroism, not to mention the full blood resurrection at the end, full marks 10 points!

Sahua~~

Of course, I think Emily Blunt was chosen as the heroine in this film. It's really a god, it really fits the image of a female man. The film repeats the scene of the two of them meeting over and over again, pushing up, going down, and then slowly getting up with the upper body. We don't need goddesses, we need this natural beauty.
In the second half of the film, it should start from Emily's sacrifice on the beach again and again, and we can clearly feel the change in Tom's eyes. We can also feel the change in Emily's eyes after Tommy's hard training again and again. I have to give a compliment to their acting here.
If you want to talk, just wait for this, okay, a blockbuster without emotional drama is not a good blockbuster. Although the two of them were busy fighting monsters, upgrading, and dungeons throughout the film, the love scene was almost negligible, and it was just a kiss at the end, but it was this inner surging that could not be revealed. Silent is better than sound, which makes the emotional drama here even more shocking.
Unexpectedly, Emily said, am I familiar with you? What to say, what I told you before was all a lie to you... What to say, I watched helplessly as he died hundreds of times, but there was nothing he could do, no matter what he did, there was no way to recover it. Especially the last sentence, we can all feel the bitterness in the heart of Tom who is sitting next to her. The sentence "me too" is just on the lips but can't say anything.
Emily, who finally disobeyed her advice, still died in the helicopter. Before leaving, Brother Tom said, "I wish I never met you!", and Emily's sentence before she died, my middle name is Rose. After being ambiguous for so long, I finally got it. A little climax.

The film keeps repeating. In their meeting over and over again, Emily, who didn't know it, was always expressionless, always saying, "Who told you to talk to me! Is there something on my face?
" It's always the phrase, "We met tomorrow, you want me to come to you"
only two times are different.
One was when Emily died at the farmhouse for the last time. After returning, Tom pondered for a long time, and finally decided not to drag her into this shit. It doesn't matter how you are, the key is to ensure the safety of your loved ones, isn't it?
The second time, and the final outcome.
Compared to Tom's tearful smile, Emily still had that somewhat unfriendly, doubtful expression. It's still the same sentence, who told you to talk to me! Is there something on my face?

We don't know what happened to them in the end. But even that is enough. Being born and dying together a thousand times is not enough?
It is already the greatest miracle that we can finally come back, and it is already a great blessing from God. Who says we must need the happy ending of the prince and princess living together in fairy tales?

In the end, it can be summed up in one sentence:
"It took all my luck to meet you in the moment of my life. It was only today that I found out that I had breathed the air."


We have seen a lot of similar movies. Groundhog Day, source code, including the previous Time Traveler. Here is the source code that feels the most similar to this film.
In fact, I have never liked the final ending of the source code very much. Of course, most people think this ending is magical...

But who says we need a fairy tale ending?

I have always felt that if the source code is stuck at the last explosion and then stopped abruptly, there will be a deeper flavor. It's like this film is stuck on Tom's forbearance and emotion full of smile.
Just imagine, what happens when the source code is stopped abruptly at that moment? If the world really only has the last second left, what would you do?
The people in the whole carriage, thanks to their "bet", were amused and laughed, completely unaware that they had come to an end; the male and female protagonists kissed affectionately in the face of the flames of doom... At that moment, they were Unfortunate, but lucky. Because at that moment, they didn't have any pain.
If it stopped abruptly at this moment, it would definitely be memorable. Instead of just giving people a talk about the feasibility of parallel universes, as they are now.

In fact, sometimes we don't necessarily need a fairy tale ending. The reason why the tragedy is shocking is precisely because of the fate of those heroes who have tried but still cannot be resigned.

And the ending of the edge of tomorrow, can we understand that Tom can't ask his fate? We all know it worked out in the end. But in my opinion, since he can finally reset successfully again, who can guarantee that Omega Alpha is really dead?
Maybe in the near future, they will have to fight like this again.
