Its subject matter is very general, and the hypothesis of the degree of brain capacity development seems to have been refuted, and the scientific content is not rigorous; but the facts still ruthlessly prove that it is far better than the blockbuster - even the self-proclaimed esoteric and elegant Movies such as "The Matrix" are more "noble": the uncles and aunts who are sitting in the cinema with me are shocked by their hearts and raise their mobile phones illegally, but they are going to steal and record those universes, grasslands and blood vessels. on the one hand, because they watched relatively few science and education films, and the first time they watched it on a huge screen of 23 meters * 15 meters, it would naturally be eye-opening; on the other hand, because the director wanted to create this film at the same time The drama that has become an intellectual, and the science and education film of the lower Liba people, do not intend to compromise with the business model. Therefore, regardless of gender, age, and age, they will be very engaged and forgetful, and they will be deeply impressed by this movie, not like "Pacific Rim", who can't remember anything after leaving the cinema; and it is very simple to recall the plot. , go straight to the point, without any branch suspense and flashbacks, they will say "Science is really great" instead of "The male lead is too ugly".
In terms of the production method of the film, there is a documentary style, and there are many functions of missionary and demonstration that do not promote the plot. It seems to be between a science film and a feature film. The director and screenwriter Luc Besson is very familiar with the style, able to bend and stretch, from the life breath of street dialogue at the beginning, all the way to the epic special effects expression at the end, avoiding making it a pure drama on the screen ; All the commercial elements are not used without hesitation like the traditional blockbuster directors. On the contrary, many audiences think it is very "appetizing" to cut off the long shots of the actors' speeches at key points, and insert some analogies that are analogous. - 5 or 6 second shots that are vital to the theme of the film, but which would be pale and time-consuming if presented with actors or lines (that's why "Superbody" is so short and sharp), such as the giant three-pointed The petals, the eagle nebula, and of course the cut-off animal XXOO shots; or directly show the tens of millions of years of Times Square's history: that is, the messy and rough editing that other film critics say, very PPT-like place. If you enjoy these episodes, you don't have to listen to Morgan Freeman's nonsense at all, and you will naturally understand the meaning of the story. By the way, the editor is also Luc Besson himself.
In his films, Kubrick will choose to create a soundtrack whose background or the theme expressed by the music itself is consistent with the theme of the film, such as Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in "A Clockwork Orange" and Bartok in "The Shining" And Bach's Doomsday Book, Ligeti of "Eyes Widespread"... These are too bright and snowy, and the audience will not have much resonance except that they feel bad. However, Luc Besson did not use the soundtrack purely to enhance the atmosphere (in fact, the atmosphere of traditional blockbusters is generally an afterthought, and the music only starts when the atmosphere comes, which is tasteless). Of course, this movie has no atmosphere at all except for the gunfight. For most of the film, there is no soundtrack, and all I can recall is a shallow Mozart "Mass in D minor" at the entrance of the Regent Hotel, and the electronic music "Lucy Theme" (former Blur frontman Damon Albarn) at the beginning and end. ). Instead, it uses the "leading motive" seen in 19th-century opera to herald some suspense.
In comparison, the idea of "The Matrix" is much more esoteric than "Lucy". It is the "brain in a vat" hypothesis in philosophy, but don't you think that the whole movie does not highlight the central idea, it's like a lion Catching flies, each stroke is strong and powerful, but the target is very poor. So much money is spent on action and stunts, and certainly not on how to make it "theme around elegance".
