Advantages:
No matter how I complain about this film, I still finished it smoothly, and I didn't give up halfway, so I like it.
(1) The main tone of the film. A typical small town in the United States, the grim picture, and some unique overly gorgeous looks, I have to think of another Tom Cruise work "Minority Report" of the same period, I like this kind of similar color enhancement very much. The picture quality is very comfortable, especially for the science fiction theme, it feels very good;
(2) Some settings of the characters of the film. The male protagonist played by Tom Cruise is a more common type of male protagonist in American movies: he has a mediocre career and no prospects; he is not a very good character, which led to a failed marriage; education of children As always, it is full of slots, and like many other American movie protagonists, he can never communicate with his children normally. This is a typical American-style "diaosi". In the current domestic context, it should be the so-called 24K pure cock. If you understand it this way, in fact, his various behaviors, choices, words, motivations, etc. are all relative. Reasonable, at the end of the film, the character's spiritual core has not changed much, and he is almost cowardly all the way to the end. The only few outbreaks come from the most dangerous moments, and almost all of them are threats to his heart. - When his child was. This kind of setting looks very unpleasant to the audience, but it is actually relatively reasonable. There is no blindness in the setting of the male protagonist's character, which is worthy of affirmation.
Slots:
2-star review, there are really too many slots.
(1) The American people whose enthusiasm far exceeds that of our country, from the beginning of the arrival of the aliens in the small town, to the forcible direction of the army's charge on the hillside in the middle, to the strong crowd watching after killing the aliens at close range;
(2) A father who will never speak human words. According to the character's character setting, the male protagonist can hardly communicate with his children normally. It can be understood that he is already frightened. The previous opening can be understood as a consistent character. This kind of protagonist setting is simply too standard, and I can't help but think of the abortive youth films that have been flooding in China in the past 2-3 years. In fact, it is the same sadness. The stunning feeling of American movies at first glance does not exist here;
(3) The rebel is the second son of the alien who wants to kill the alien, which is one of the standard configurations of American movies. Adolescence, rebellious period is OK, this is no problem, but according to such an extreme environment of the movie, it is still so strong to go its own way, is this really reasonable? ?
(4) The little daughter who screams from the beginning to the end is also one of the standard configurations of American movies. Although I was so annoyed that I wanted to kill the plot and die, but I was actually numb. Now I have seen a character with a normal setting. Thank God, I can't ask for more. I didn't feel it when I read it in
summary , but at the end, the cause of death of the alien was explained by microorganisms.
Afterwards, the male protagonist and his ex-wife IKEA met in Boston. The ex-wife's family could not live well. The lights in the house were so warm. The ex-wife successfully brought the young daughter to the male protagonist and said the American favorite sentence " Thank you"... I'm really speechless to ask God here.
I suddenly thought of Zhang Yimou, a well-known veteran director in China. Spielberg is a well-known veteran director in the United States. Thinking about Zhang's works in various periods, and thinking about this movie, I can only sigh at the maturity of the American film industry. - If it wasn't for making money, would Spielberg make this kind of film? ? I really don't believe it. In comparison, Zhang Yimou's generation of Chinese filmmakers can be regarded as filmmakers with artistic ideals.
