Sci-fi and sci-fi movies are really two different things

[Said before, if you are not a science fiction fan (it is science fiction, not a science fiction movie), especially not a science fiction fan of cyberpunk, then there is no need to watch this movie. 】 From the soundtrack, picture, story to performance style are highly consistent with the previous work, even the high reputation and low box office are so consistent. Although the film is 160 minutes long and the plot progresses slowly, this slowness is consistent with the overall style of the film, and it does not feel very lengthy (in the same period, the film that bombed the space station without a word was drowsy). On the contrary, it still feels unfinished at the end, and the style of this ending is also consistent with the previous work. The story is actually quite simple, and the suspense is not strong. Those who have seen the previous work should have thought of this ending long ago, and the foreshadowing in the plot is also very obvious. It is also a Hollywood habit of killing the "wife" and keeping alive. There are also a lot of paragraphs, and the director's control greatly makes up for these shortcomings. In addition to the metallic soundtrack and the desolate picture of the apocalypse, the actor's temperament is also in line with the illusory and pessimistic style of cyberpunk, and Leto may be the most cult-style actor in Hollywood after Depp. The passionate scene in the middle reminds me of sense8. In addition, I have to complain about the current film review scale. I really don't think there is any need for harmony in the modified shots.

"Blade Runner" illustrates several problems: the real sci-fi is still a niche culture, and many sci-fi fans are really just fans of sci-fi movies. In today's commercialization, most of the so-called sci-fi blockbusters are just in the coat of sci-fi. It's just an action movie, I look forward to more movies that express the true connotation of science fiction.

    Second brush. The 2D version of the first time, with French subtitles, was completely understood according to my own imagination. When I watched it the second time, I found that it was all wrong. The effect of the domestic 3D version is not very good, it is too dark, the characters' delicate facial expressions are not visible, and the quality of the picture is not good. The deletion of the first minute will affect the understanding of the plot. It's so touching, that kind of loneliness lingers after reading it.

    So desolate. Finally K lay on the snow, full of tenderness and nowhere to deliver. All the people who have loved, all the hopes, all the connections, are all phantoms, only Bai Xue is the last truth, the last comfort he can sleep in.
