Needless to say, the two Wachowskis, The Matrix and V for Vendetta should have almost changed the world view of many people. Anyway, I recited all the long and short lines of V over and over again. For this reason, I had pretty high expectations for this cloud map.
Personally, I don’t have the habit of repeating the entire movie plot when I write a movie review. I can only say that Yuntu is a good-looking movie. Expect. To put it simply, with a time span of two hundred years, the six stories are related to each other, and the actions of the protagonist of a single story indirectly lead to the choice of the protagonist of the next story decades later.
I have always felt that art cannot be said to be higher than life. Art magnifies the beauty that exists in life itself so that even people who don’t pay attention to beauty can see it, so art simplifies the problem. After reading the cloud map, I have been wondering if the meteor birthmark on everyone is a bit redundant. Because not everyone will have meteor birthmarks, but in history, anything done by any character will eventually participate in changing the direction of history, whether it’s big or small, directly or indirectly, it’s just that this causal relationship is recorded or is Just ignore it. It only takes six dimensions for one person to know another person in the world. How many layers of separation does it take for one thing to influence another. A farmer planted an apple tree without thinking that a gust of wind and a bird would carry the seed to the next field and eventually grow another tree and drop an apple that hit Newton on the head. When Hai Rui risked his death, he never thought that he would be used by Jiang Qing and Yao Wenyuan to kill Wu Han in future generations. When Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, he never thought that one day I would suffer from indigestion because of the expired rice dumplings. Even if a chicken laid a few more eggs one day, he would never think that the basket of eggs would be given to someone for fried rice. In turn, it changed the fate of one of the most populous countries in the world. Furthermore, we subjectively always relish these examples of small things affecting big things, but we are accustomed to the fact that big things influence small things. Napoleon's defeat was so dramatic because of General Gresch's hesitation, and it was only natural that Napoleon's line of artillery had cost a new wife her husband. However, in the God's perspective in theory, there are no big things and little things, no big people and little people, everything just happens, like a stream of water. So I feel that the meteor birthmark is actually a failure, just to prevent the dull audience from seeing the coincidence of chance, so the common cause and effect have become a special case. Each of us has a meteor birthmark.
Cloud is an interesting concept, it wraps the whole earth, and we look up at the same sky. Since I am personally engaged in the technology-based venture capital industry, today, when SaaS, PaaS and even IaaS are popular, I deal with the word cloud every day. Clouds are alluring because they are as ubiquitous as air. If you put aside the dullness of technology and think about it romantically, one day, when a person's whole life is immersed in the Internet, and all the data of the entire human network are all placed in the same virtual database, your friend's one The track next to the track occupied by the server is the photo of Edison Chen stored in the DROPBOX, but all of this has nothing to do with your life and you don't know it. How interesting it is.
Pulled a long way, back to the movie. The film does a very clever way of connecting the shots of different stories, although this kind of treatment is not uncommon in today's movies. In addition to the key props that connect the different stories, which are easily noticed by the audience, and the fact that the various actors play multiple roles to show the cycle of fate, the author of the original book also mentioned many other metaphors and themes, including the protagonist in each story. The experience of falling and rising, and the number of "six" appearing in large numbers. If you are interested, you can go to IMDB or wiki for yourself.
Finally, I also want to mumble like all the other film critics, can't the roles of Zhou Xun and Pei Douna be changed? . .
