you are you, I am me

For some literary and artistic youths or pseudo-literary and artistic youths, this film is a bit more form than content. But for a tech control like me, it is undoubtedly a gluttonous meal.

As the saying goes, what you despise is precisely what I adore. Even Confucius once said: "How can you know that what you don't want is not what you want?" (Of course, this is not all Confucius said.)

As I said before, I don’t like to go into the plot of the movie to talk about the theme, because I think these things are arranged by the director, it is not a random event . Since every step is arranged by the director, why is there any need to talk about the direction of each step?

This can't help but remind me of a saying that Hong Xiu Tianfan often says: When a movie thinks, God laughs.

The reason why I bring up the movie is because he is a stepping stone for me to know the movie, so my views on the movie will be influenced by him to some extent.

Continuing to get down to business, Bell's costume in this film is very similar to the one in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", so I thought about it! Lao Mouzi should have seen this film before making "Jin"...

    (7.5/10) Political fables and utopian assumptions are not the main objects of discussion. Although they have borrowed from quite a few dystopian movies ("Metropolis", "Blade Runner", "The Matrix", "Nineteen Eighty Four", etc.), I didn’t go deep into it. I used this utopian setting as a kind of story background, and regarded emotion as the source of crime, and built a totalitarian state without emotion, just like Wens in "Nineteen Eighty Four". Dun Smith, the male protagonist Peston is the worm in the Empire State Building, successfully overthrowing the rule of the empire, quite optimistic heroism. The number of commercial films makes the action scenes very emotional, and "The Matrix" has a great influence.

    The setting of the movie itself is quite old-fashioned, the action is also very stupid, and the plot is also very messy. But the paragraph about the pistol Tai Chi is really interesting, exciting and creative, and I will add a star. Four stars.

    Partridge: What is it you think we do?

    John Preston: No. You've been with me, you've seen how it can be - the jealousy, rage.

    Partridge: A heavy cost. I pay it gladly.
