"Cloud Map" is too aptly named

After the second brush, I learned a lot. The sea adventures of a 19th-century lawyer; a natural love that transcends gender and life and death during World War II; a group of old men and women fighting for freedom; a brave female reporter and Korean War veteran; 22nd-century cyberpunk replicators The Awakening; and Earthlings in the Post-Ruined Era. The six lines, each independent of each other, are interconnected and complementary to each other. Witty and humorous, sci-fi fierce battle scenes, literary and artistic fresh comradeship, thinking about the future society and the direction of human beings, and so on.

There is so much in this movie, so much information. First of all, from the point of view of the shooting skills of the film itself, the staggered editing of its six lines, which advance and complement each other, makes people addicted. The narration and soundtrack are also involuntarily immersed in it. The most surprising and unexpected thing for me is the actors' makeup and the six stories, all of which are from the same group of people, but when you watch it, you will not feel at all. any discomfort. Based on this alone, I personally feel that I should be nominated for an Oscar for best makeup and soundtrack. hahaha~

Going back to the content of the movie, the general melody is love. In the movie, there are several clips of Xingmei's speech on the radio "We are not born to be our own..." The first time you see this, you will think that this may be a seditious speech by a leader, but as the story goes The progress of the plot, when you see this scene of Xingmei for the last time at the end of the movie, you will understand why she said that. In that scene, she was in tears, watching her lover, Commander Zhang, die under the gun of the military police, and then she said this.

The rhythm of the movie is a bit slow, but I think it's worth your patience to watch. The first 30 minutes are a little boring, so you have to watch it patiently, don't watch the version released in China, watch the original 174 minutes, and you will get something completely different Movie viewing experience.

Finally, let me talk about my understanding of the movie name "Cloud Map". Starting from the content, this film is not a single story line development, but six lines that travel through time and space to promote the plot at the same time. These six lines are intertwined into a cloud map, one about freedom and love. cloud map.

Movie closing line: Anything we do is trivial in the grand scope of human history and space. But it is these tiny and countless good beliefs that enable the seeds of humanity to be preserved even in the most sinister environment. After the baptism of time, at a certain time in the future, a certain world will radiate the most dazzling 's brilliance.
