Telling stories of human nature with sci-fi gimmicks

I watched "Ring Messenger" today, and I didn't think it was as difficult to understand as everyone said. Maybe at the beginning, I really didn't know what to say, and I couldn't even understand what "looper" was doing and what kind of story it had even after reading the subtitles. However, when the male protagonist himself falls into the pursuit of his future self and looks for the "Rain Caller", it is actually understandable. In fact, you can completely ignore the time travel emphasized in the plot. Personally, I think that it is completely the sweat medicine given by the screenwriter to the audience. Only the hero said at the end, "I saw a mother who would rather die for her child, and a man can kill for his lover." Then the hero committed suicide. To put it bluntly, it is a story about using high technology to tell human nature.

    The book is a good book, but unfortunately it failed to achieve the ultimate. It is mainly manifested in the inconsistency of the style. The opening is very Matrix. When the old cloth's perspective enters Xu Qing, it becomes a domestic stream of consciousness. The little cub has become the X-Men. The philosophy and fatalism of the "ring" could not be embodied more delicately and complicatedly, and the ending process was a little hasty. Compared to 囧子's thick eyebrows, Lao Bu is really handsome and messed up.

Looper quotes

  • Older Joe: My memory's cloudy. It's a cloud. Because my memories aren't really memories. They're just one possible eventuality now. And they grow clearer or cloudier as they become more are less likely. But then they get to the present moment, and they're instantly clear again. I can remember what you do after you do it. And it hurts.

    Joe: So even when we're apart, you can remember what I do after?

    Older Joe: Yes, but this is a precise description of a fuzzy mechanism. It's messy.

  • Sara: This is a Remington 870. One blast could cut you the fuck in half.

    Joe: In half. Yeah, that's telling. You're holding a gun, I say I'm not afraid, so you describe the gun to me. It's not the gun I'm not afraid of.
