farther and farther from the master

"This Killer Is Not Too Cold" + "Inception" + "2001 A Space Odyssey" is Luc Besson's positioning for the film. It is true that this is a good-looking movie, but the level of this movie is limited to Good-looking, not up to the level of classics, Luc Besson brought a visual feast, but did not surpass himself...
imitating himself, the shootout and camera processing of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" has been revived in this film Interpretation, this is the consistent style of Luc Besson, don't need to worry too much, especially the tense rhythm and coherent plot. It has the style of "The Fifth Element" in one go, but the delicate handling of emotions is far inferior to "The Fifth Element". This killer is not too cold", and even the emotions of the entire film are unrealistic. While highlighting the texture of the picture, the telling of the story and the revealing of emotions have become secondary neglected places
... For example, the most powerful thing about "Inception" is the layering method of storytelling and the processing of pictures, especially buildings, to present a real and virtual world. The so-called tribute of this film is obviously not the method of storytelling. The smoothness of the film is based on the logic of linear narrative. After all, the content of sci-fi is not easy to understand. Simply linear description reduces the difficulty of understanding the audience of commercial films, but at the same time, it cannot match the brain opening of "Inception". . On the screen, this movie is still remarkable, but the interior scene is the main body, and the exterior scene is not prominent. After the characters occupy most of the screen, the background appears dispensable. "Inception", even the level of "The Fifth Element" is not even close to the level... Take your own
humiliation, "2001 A Space Odyssey", in addition to the use of montage and music, the most powerful is the director's boundless imagination, the film's montage It has been used from the very beginning, the cell begins and the cell ends, the evolution of human beings, the passage of time, and even the promotion of animal hunting corresponding to the plot of the film. These applications are indeed imitating "2001: A Space Odyssey", but the methods are too clumsy and artificial traces. Let the viewer feel that the technique is not very sophisticated to the primary level. And none of the music left a deep impression, let alone the synchronization of the classic music of "2001 A Space Odyssey", and even the singing of "The Fifth Element" could not be reproduced. As for imagination, it's a little bit, but it's not surprising, it's really far behind Master Kubrick...
Having said that, the above analysis cannot hide the watchability of this film, but it should be pointed out that Luc Besson is trying to get close to the master, but in the case of the dilemma of business and literature and art, sometimes this road is far from He is getting farther and farther...
