Write it down first, the translation sucks! ! ! How many! ! ! The world view setting and character motivation are completely unexplained from the subtitles! ! I think the translation itself did not understand this film and went on, which is basically equivalent to the level of machine translation. For the audience, the translation must bear at least half of the blame!
Back to the topic.
The core concept of the creed is too counter-intuitive.
Although this concept is not completely created by Nolan, Dr. Hu, his wife Song Jiang, and Hyperion's Tomb of Time are essentially this setting, but it is different when it comes to commercial works on the big screen.
Unlike the previous time travel, the reverse time of creed, the time of the traveler itself is a positive flow, but it is reversed for the world. From a macro perspective, you can probably understand this concept, but the movie shows it at a detailed level, and just because of the first effect and then the cause, it is very anti-experience, and most people can't turn their heads.
Reverse time, you have to fully understand and understand. In addition to trying to understand the concept, you also have to be able to experience it, that is, you need to be rational and emotional.
If you can't figure this out, you won't be able to enter the context of the film.
If a film, especially a commercial film, cannot enter the context, the problem will be big. When the audience watches the film, they will subconsciously guess the plot. The plot is unexpected, and the audience will be convinced. However, because of Creed's core common sense is counter-intuitive, the audience cannot enter the scene normally, and cannot guess the plot. The experience of the plot will be cliff-like. decline. Then, the ups and downs of the audience's emotions are also based on their understanding of the plot. They look confused and can't understand the dedication and psychological transformation of the characters, so they can't have emotional resonance with the characters, until the end. Confused.
I believe that when Nolan wrote the script, he must have carefully sorted out the entire timeline, and the key issue of timing will not be a problem, but shooting and editing are another matter.
The spectacle of Inception is also beyond the experience of ordinary audiences, but it is still within the range that can be understood after comprehensive processing of normal experience, so if you maintain a tense commercial rhythm, the audience can keep up with it.
But the creed can’t keep up. The fundamental problem is that reverse time is too counter-intuitive.
This can't keep up, let alone your complicated timeline, and even the spectacle of the world's reversed spectacle, the audience has no time to marvel, because they don't understand and can't appreciate how amazing this spectacle is. So that in the end, it was divided into two teams of red and blue to attack the city stronghold. The camera kept switching between the two teams, and the perspective was subjective for a while and objective, leaving me dumbfounded. Is it necessary?
The result is to give up thinking and simply be a mindless audience.
The consequence of being a mindless audience is that when a tender cow hangs in five directions, I have no inner turmoil.
When the protagonist protects the heroine, my heart is not disturbed.
Of course, I don't think Nolan's attempt is wrong. He is still trying various story concepts and even breakthroughs in the viewing experience (and he is trying to put this attempt within the framework of commercial films). This must be affirmed and Appreciate.
But there are problems, these are the problems, what should I do, can I learn from the lessons and make corrections when the second film is made?
