The protagonist's halo is too fake

Leo 2022-04-19 09:01:22

It started off fine, then it got more and more fake. The hero and heroine were so tossed in the middle unscathed? Or just some skin trauma? The opponent can't lie down just by being shot in the foot. The male protagonist was finally shot in the heart and still survived. Isn't the kidney set bad? And the director is also very bad. In short, it is an ordinary script with an ordinary director. No wonder that the box office hit the streets back then, and it was just a popcorn movie, pretending to be a grand narrative blockbuster. Even Americans can't accept such a hypothetical assumption. Set it. And why are all dystopian films a routine, nothing more than a future collapsed world caused by wars, biochemical experiments leaks, various extreme ideas, etc. A conscious awakener appears among a group of mediocre people, Most of the time, this person has an ambiguous object or partner, and then join forces to kill the villain, save the world, and gain happiness. Did the editor's imagination stop there, or did political conditions limit creativity.

The Island quotes

  • Client Services Operator: Merrick Biotech. How may I help you?

    Tom Lincoln: Hi, this is a client, Tom Lincoln.

    Client Services Operator: Hi, Mr. Lincoln.

    Tom Lincoln: Yeah, I was wondering if you could get someone who can explain to me why my insurance policy is sitting downstairs on my fucking sofa!

  • Albert Laurent: Did you know my father was part of the Burkinabé rebellion? When he was killed, my brothers and I were branded, so everyone would know we were less than human.

    [he holds up his hand to show Merrick]

    Albert Laurent: I've seen and done things I'm not proud of, but at some point you realize, war... Is a business. So, when did killing become a business for you?

    Merrick: Oh, no. It's so much more than that. I have discovered the Holy Grail of science. I give life. The agnates, they're simply tools, instruments. They have no souls. The possibilities are endless here. In two years' time, I will be able to cure children's leukemia. How many people on Earth can say that, Mr. Laurent?

    Albert Laurent: [smiles] I guess just you and God. That's the answer you're looking for, isn't it?
