Time travel, alien design, K's life advice, J's life experience, these designs add luster to Men in Black 3, making this Men in Black significantly stronger than the first two.
The first one is amazing because of its brand-new design, and alien movies can still be shot like this. The alien shape, background, and props all show the difference from previous movies, which makes people's eyes shine. Finally, the battle with the big cockroach added a lot of color to the film.
The second tribe is clichéd, let’s not talk about it.
Let's talk about the third part.
This one seems to have taken very little thought into the design of the aliens, with most of the alien characters appearing in the Chinese restaurant at the beginning of the film and then being smashed into a paste. Another character is that in the process of J's crossing, his head was pulled down and thrown as a bowling ball, which is similar to the plot of the first part where he blew his head with a shot and then grew out of it. Maybe it would be more interesting if that alien reappeared in the third installment. The design of the hands and pets of the alien villain Beast Boris is perfect. What is the structure of the organic object that breaks the shackles of steel like a wooden stick? It is really fascinating. This may inspire new weapons for criminal organizations to develop. Another is the alien who can know the past and the future. He took off his hat at the last moment, and we saw that he had the mind of the A-net that protects the earth. This is probably a tribute to the Milky Way in the first part. They All objects related to the fate of the earth, all placed in a small inconspicuous necklace.
But overall, the alien appearance is no longer the point in this film. The point is here - time travel. This is a powerful new addition. This element complicates the battle between humans and evil aliens. J's crossing brought modern thinking to the past, and also allowed us to see the high-tech decades ago that seemed to be more advanced than modern technology, such as unicycles. This design, which is more modern than modern, became the third A bright spot. The most exciting thing is that in the process of time travel, there is another alien who can know the past and the future. His appearance turned all time travel into a time and space, in fact, this time and space is on the movie screen. After watching the movie, I suddenly realized that the past and the future are fixed, and no one can change history. What happened is what happened, and there will be no second time line to go. This goes back to that scientific and philosophical question about time.
Of course, this time-travel also has an obvious bug. When Boris went back to the past and killed K, the time and space changed, but J had no recollection of the change, and he had no impression of the long-winded partner Double A, and he had no memory of what happened before. He had no impression at all. Although he came from that time and space, he had memories of the old time and space. Before he traveled through, he asked the fat man who gave him the time-space shuttle, why no one else had memory of K but he did. The fat man replied that it was because he was there at the time. This kind of tricky method seems very naive and ridiculous in the face of factual logic, but this is nothing, the original point of the story is not here, the story is also fictional, and it is impossible to really happen.
K has undergone some changes in Men in Black 3, and his appearance is still there, but there are obviously more proverbs in his speech. There were a lot of jingles in his words. For example, when he was chatting with J, he said that he "gets strong" and "silence is golden", and when he saw Boris the Beast, he followed up with "a slip of a step becomes an eternal hatred" and "everything lasts forever" Sometimes this hatred lasts forever", advised J not to get involved in his grievances with Boris, "each one sweeps the snow in front of the door and takes care of the frost on other people's tiles", and always likes to say "like a cow drinking water" when talking to O Knowing the joys and sorrows", when persuading J, "My grandfather said that when you encounter problems that cannot be solved, just let your mind go." He said so much that J has already recited "For the answers I know, I have never Don't ask." Wait. Maybe it has something to do with the style of the translation director, but I think these changes add color to K, it makes him appear more playful and less dull, although it makes him appear wiser.
The movie boldly tried to portray the appearance of K decades ago, but it still feels too far from the later K. Although he tried his best to look mature and prudent, his eyes and manners were still far from the later K. Tom Lee Jones's K is mature and prudent, his eyes are not upward, always looking straight or slightly downward, always in a state of thinking, his eyes are deep, full of softness and kindness, and there is some cunning in it, this style makes him in the "mechanic". "Resurrection" plays the gangster in the movie more alert, intelligent and human without lack of means. Tom Lee Jones is my favorite actor because he's so kind and so smart, so kind and tough.
J doesn't seem to have changed. He is busy paying homage to Men in Black 1, still holding a small gun, still falling out of the car, still getting the answer for no reason, still finding the enemy's weak spot to attack at the last minute, in general , J has not changed much. Although he and K have worked together for 14 years, he is still so unreliable, but he can still stand up to the critical moment.
J's life experience is a bit tasteless in Men in Black 3. The film is only brought out when Griffin asks about the time, and finally explains the origin and meaning of the watch when J's father dies. This is very touching, but it seems to be out of touch with the rhythm of the whole movie, and the previous foreshadowing is not enough. Maybe it was a plot that was added to show the sequel, or maybe it was broadcast after it was cut?
Released in 2012, Boris sets a trap in a Chinese restaurant as soon as he escapes from prison. This made me very uncomfortable. The noodles, fish, and hygiene in it were all described as unbearable, and I felt very bad. Maybe this is the reason why Men in Black 3 doesn't get much attention in China.
