Jumper, the teleporter, the male protagonist inadvertently "awakened" his ability because he fell into the ice water - moving in space at will, this concept runs through from the beginning to the end of the film, walking on the streets of New York in the morning and tasting sushi in Tokyo at noon , wandering in the Roman monuments in the afternoon, admiring the sunset in London at dusk, wanting to go surfing because there are no waves, you can teleport to a place with a storm, and you can sit on the head of the Sphinx and drink a drink after finishing, it is really comfortable.
The only fly in the ointment is a bit of loneliness.
The male protagonist also had the same idea, so he used his ability to run to the United States, rented a dilapidated hut, and then went back and forth between the hut and the bank in one night, grabbed the whole house full of money, and turned into a rich man in an instant. My son, after several years of profligacy, not only did he return to his hometown to punish the hateful old man who had bullied him before, but he also got the little beauty that he had a crush on and traveled to Rome together, which was more pleasant.
But the good times don't last long. Such ability goes against nature. Any "good things" will bring negative effects. For example, fame brings restrictions on life. People with superpowers are accompanied by incomprehension. Even Good stuff like Death Note will also shorten your life. Although Jumpers like the protagonist have no physical side effects, it does not mean that this ability can be used comfortably. Because of advanced abilities, free life is always What people yearn for, so there will be many people who envy, envy and even think about revenge, and the "Paladin" played by Samuel L. Jackson is a teleporter's nightmare. "Paladin" is an organization, they have been hunting down teleporters since a long time ago, and the protagonist David is not the only one, there are many people like him in this world, their "super genes" It has a history of thousands of years, but most of the people deliberately hide their whereabouts to avoid the pursuit of the "paladin". , will lead to the calamity of death. In the end, he finally found out that his mother's disappearance was because he was a transmitter, and his mother happened to be a "Paladin" person...
The film is only a short 90 minutes, but the rhythm of the film is fast and the sense of speed is full, which is enough to attract the audience's attention for 90 minutes, not to mention that there are typical handsome guys and beauties in it, supplemented by computer stunts to make this film even better. one floor. However, the plot inside is a bit nonsensical, such as the transmitter has no side effects? Every time the space transfer is performed, the surrounding flowers and plants will be destroyed, and the surrounding space will be distorted, as if there is an earthquake. Even so, the male protagonist can use it easily without any discomfort, which is really sweaty! Why did the "Paladin" hunt down teleporters since ancient times? They are a group of ordinary people, and they don't have too many electrified things in their hands, not to mention the high cost and little return, which is really inexplicable. Based on my personal analysis, it must be that most of the "paladers" are narrow-minded people who don't like someone who gets something for nothing, so jealousy generates revenge...
Or Samuel Jackson is dissatisfied with being killed by Hayden in "Star Wars" Christensen killed him inexplicably, so he vowed to kill Hayden once in "Jumper" to relieve the "hate" in his heart.
This film is different from the education style of previous Hollywood movies. Those with extraordinary abilities are not all heroes and show justice, but "reverse driving". The protagonist David, like all ordinary people, started to use it crazily after he had the ability to teleport. He even had to jump from the sofa to the refrigerator to get food at home, which really gave full play to his own characteristics. Secondly, once he has the ability, he must use it. He uses his ability to travel around without spending money. He robs banks for a better life, takes revenge on those who have bullied him before, and uses his ability to please girls. Look at it this way Come on, it's the truest thought. In the previous sci-fi movies, whether Superman or Spider-Man, they always used their abilities in the right way. Although they were positive, but if you thought about it carefully, what would you do? I think most people will first satisfy themselves like David, maybe this is the reason why I think this movie is not particularly exciting, but it can resonate with me.
In the film, the "paladin" who seem to be heinous at first glance, no matter what their psychology and purpose are, they are the good people who really "strive for justice", which is quite ironic.
