Anyway, the plot is compact and the entry into the play is quicker, brother, it is good that the right does not exist!
Back to this movie.
First of all, the setting of the ring messenger is quite interesting. This is the creative basis of this film! After 30 years, the police's tracking technology has become more and more powerful, and it is basically impossible for the "enemy" to be dealt with by the underworld organization in the future, so it has to be sent to the present 30 years ago and handed over to the killer. For the ring messenger. Based on this setting, the film has established a novel story world and a complete production management system for the ring messenger. As a result, there are a series of innovative nouns such as sealing ring and missing ring.
However, building a novel story world based on a novel idea is only the first step. The film has a good coat for packaging. Next, we need to see what kind of story is going to be told. What exactly is this film going to tell? The eye of the show still falls on the "ring"!
In short, the present affects the future, and the future can also affect the present. The so-called ring is an infinite loop!
Let's see how this cycle is built.
1. In the future underworld world, there is a ruthless character named "Rain Caller". It is mentioned in the film that he created the ring sealing ceremony, that is, his growth and birth, which led to these lucky people who survived 30 years later. The Ring Messenger will be sent back to the present for execution!
2. Because of the "Ring Sealing Ceremony" created by "Raincaller", after 30 years, Joe must be sent back 30 years ago for execution, but when he was arrested, tragedy happened, that changed his fate The woman, his deepest wife, was unfortunately killed by the messenger who came to arrest him.
3. Joe took the time-travel plane himself and returned to 30 years ago, escaped his own execution 30 years ago, escaped, and intended to kill the "rain caller" who was still a child, namely Sid. In this way, the "ring sealing ceremony" can be prevented from being created, which in turn prevents his wife from being killed. He did all this not for himself, but for love! love!
4. So how did the "Rain Caller" come into being? In the play, the "Rain Caller" is explained because he saw his mother being killed when he was a child, and since then he has embarked on an evil path. And Joe finally found out that the murderer who killed his mother was the self who came back from 30 years later, that is, it was the self who made Sid become a Rain Caller in order to prevent Sid from becoming a Rain Caller. A cycle is thus formed.
In the play, the director spends a large amount of footage to describe Sid, so that the audience can have a relationship with Sid. Although Sid is small in the play, he is already very smart. He has a kind side. For example, he cares about the injured Joe and gives Joe Drinking water also has a cunning and emotionally unstable side, such as outwitting the police and throwing a tantrum at the mother. At the same time, he has a powerful super power hidden in him. Is to care for him, love him! Or kill him and hurt him! This indicates that it is entirely possible for this little child to develop into two aspects and become a scientist who is beneficial to society? nice guy? Or become a terrifying criminal.
At the end of the story, the climax scene on the farm was full of suspense and excitement. It was also at that time that Joe finally realized that this was a painful cycle. He could watch his future self kill Sid in the future And accidentally killed Sid's mother, making Sid a "rain caller" because of resentment and loneliness, or he can choose to commit suicide to make his future self disappear, ending this painful cycle.
So how does he choose?
Of course, Joe finally gave his choice, and what about us?
Little Sid in the play can be said to make the audience both love and fear? This is obviously the director's special intention. He is almost provocatively questioning us in front of the screen, when we watch the movie, do we love or fear little Sid more?
This reminds me of the two news I just read two days ago. An autistic child was assigned to a certain class, and as a result, a dozen parents of other students jointly signed a letter and asked him to drop out! Just because he was worried about hurting his own child, another one was that a student was also asked to drop out of school by other parents because he was carrying the HIV virus.
It is conceivable that the incomprehension and hostility of the people around them will eventually affect the minds of these two children. Perhaps because of this series of encounters, they will grow into future demons? If we can give more love and understanding, the result will be different in the end... In
conclusion, the film's conception and connotation are new! Full of sincerity, just being a time travel killer, "Terminator" is also the ultimate, as a loop, "Terror Cruise" is also difficult to surpass! Moreover, in order to form a cycle in the play, "Joe" can swept the entire gang by himself many times, and he can easily escape even if he is tied up, and the bridge that he can escape from death even if he is shot by random guns makes people seem to have found it again. The feeling of watching Hong Kong shootout films in the 1980s is more distorted!
SO, although there are surprises in the whole film, there is no surprise!
But still a good movie to watch! Four-star recommendation! !
