Originally, it's hard to tell right or wrong about your preferences, and you can't tell the difference between your tastes, but I personally feel that people who don't like this film should really like the seven deadly sins of Fight Club. Turn violent, orgasm after another film. In fact, I used to like it very much. These films are also great, but the older I get, the more I like to watch that kind of calm and calm style, which is more realistic and gives you such a perspective, that is, you are sitting on the sofa, cold Watching a life, an event, the director will not rush to tell you everything, help you think, give you the conclusion directly, set the tone for everything, you can have your own space for understanding and thinking , the director is only responsible for providing facts, whether in the form of a feature film or a pseudo-documentary, the director will not process the facts for you, judge and conclude for you, or give you sensationalism.
Another example of such a film with an underrated score is "Zodiac".
Speaking of Soderbergh's skills, I think it's a wonderful thing to use the stars as passers-by, and a big star, such as Kate Winslet, do you think the director will entrust her with a heavy responsibility, what kind of big role does she have? What is the important plot, what kind of relationship should it have with other protagonists, but there is not much, lying in a transparent body bag in a blink of an eye, that kind of strong contrast and impact is the biggest, stars are used in this kind of documentary film. In fact, it is easy to make people play and reduce the realism of the film, because the audience is too familiar, the boundaries between the star itself and the character will blur, and there are too many other films in the film. The memory of the characters will disturb the audience, but Soderbergh It's very good here, it conveys a meaning to me faintly, what about big stars, all life before the epidemic is as fragile, and it only takes a few minutes to pass away. I only said that it conveyed this feeling to me, because watching a movie is really a very personal feeling, but I think a good director must take into account and successfully capture the personal experience of a considerable part of the audience.
