face change

Looking at it, I forgot that this is a film made by a Chinese director. I think he must know Hollywood very well and know how to make people like this kind of film. In his words, it is "using the American narrative to convey the Chinese spirit." This may be the reason why Chinese films have been unable to go out, because we don't know what foreigners are thinking. We didn't really get to know their lives like John Woo, like Ang Lee. John Woo said that Americans attach great importance to family, so at the end of the film, the male protagonist returns to the family. This is the way Americans are familiar. But what is the Chinese spirit conveyed in it, perhaps it is the true conscience of mankind. That is to say, technology has reached a certain stage. Although people's faces can be exchanged, people's hearts cannot be exchanged. This is human nature.

A very good and worth watching movie.

    Woo Yusen is still pretty good. Face-changing has always been the clue to the plot and also affects people's hearts. The ending is a happy ending. The happiest thing is that although Sean lost his son, he got another gift that seemed to be a highlight of the movie.

    Don't understand why there are so many praises. In my opinion, this is a work with a deliberate appearance and no connotation. The plot is too fake, and other things are ordinary Hollywood feelings. Putting aside the remarkable heroic qualities of the series, it is a very sincere work. In fact, I really don't like the so-called violent aesthetic director Wu Yusen.
