The backbone of the whole film is still catering to the mainstream values. From a vulgar point of view, it is a story of how a protagonist with a bad background but desperately chasing his dreams uses his own power to infect the people around him and gain love and success. However, it is With such a vulgar story that has been told 10,000 times as the core, how should the film show its own tension, how to infuse such a sense of value into the soul of the audience, and how to fill in more drama beyond the main story. The tension thing, this film gives the audience a good answer, at least the rotten girls are satisfied, the strugglers cry, and the producers also earn the expected benefits.
In terms of story setting, this film is very funny. For people living in the present, most of them are looking forward to the future, so the future is mostly hopeful, unpredictable, or full of people's impressions. A thing that is fresh should be in a relatively good state as a whole. Putting an inspirational story in such an environment will naturally produce a transition process from good to bad to good, which will naturally produce drama. . The success of genetic modification allows us to select the best quality next generation to nurture. From the first impression of people today, it is another achievement that "benefits" mankind brought about by the development of science and technology. Therefore, intuitively, it is "good". ”; and then in such a good background, a “bad” boy was born, and that is our protagonist. His identity as a non-genetically modified person has made him discriminated and tortured, surrounded by elites. The sense of powerlessness can also resonate with many audiences. All audiences are looking forward to a "counterattack" and a "good" ending, but stories like this have been told countless times, how can it bring Some of the new ideas are challenges to the producers, the development of friendship between good "basic friends", the transformation of characters' status and roles, the development of love between male and female protagonists, and the transformation of the same roles, plus a little bit of suspenseful elements to solve cases, have all become The stamen in the center of this blooming lotus flower, on the contrary, the growth process of the characters most often described as the highlight in such a plot has been understated, indicating that the producer has enough confidence that the other elements described above can be used alone. Grabbing the hearts of the audience, he did.
First of all, let's talk about the development history of the "foundation" of good friends. Jerome has the best talent brought to him by genes, but because of an accident he lost his legs and became slumped. The protagonist Vincent has a healthy body, fearless courage and dedication to dreams, but he has no genetic advantage. First of all, through the sharp contrast in the characteristics of the two people, and at the same time combining the endings of the two people, it is possible to clearly understand the theme of the film to be emphasized and expressed. Anyone who can feel the temperature on the skin can feel the meaning conveyed by the film. There is no need for any other elaboration; and the growth and role transformation of the two people throughout the film is undoubtedly embarrassing and sighing. When they first met, Vincent was dressed in sloppy clothes and glasses, just like a loser at the bottom of society. Image; and Jerome still wears a suit even if he falls into the abyss, lives in a luxury villa, and has a arrogant and disdainful attitude. The initial status of the two is obviously contrasted. With the gradual transformation and growth of Vincent, Jerome also felt his own status. The taste of being threatened, so he desperately showed his silver medal to Vincent, and wanted to tell Vincent to let him give up early, let him understand that what is better than himself is impossible for Vincent, From my personal experience, this scene is the most pitiful part of Jerome's entire film. He has changed from the excellent and arrogant and indomitable self to the humble one who gave up his own hope and persuaded others. The self who gave up hope, because starting from human nature, if everyone can't do something that you can't do, you can comfort yourself psychologically, but when others can do it, you can't do it. People often have huge doubts about themselves, and this kind of doubt is sometimes fatal. Many humble people may not realize why they persuade others to give up something that they obviously cannot do. This is a kind of subconscious. self-protection, and once such behavior occurs, it means that your confidence in your own ability has been greatly challenged. For a proud person like Jerome, he can have nothing, but he cannot lose his ability to confidence, because as smart as he must know, everything he has gained comes from his powerful ability, and if he loses this, he also loses the whole world, and therefore, I think, when Vincent gets The moment of success, the moment when Vincent did what he couldn't, the moment when Jerome lost everything, so he chose to end himself. But from another point of view, Jerome is undoubtedly lucky. The encounter with Vincent allowed him to share the fruit of Vincent's dream from the perspective of a bystander. Although this fact was extremely cruel to him, in the end he I understand that people should not live in fear Disregarding his life, he chose to end everything as soon as possible. Without Vincent, perhaps he would live many years or a lifetime in such a decadent life. For a former genius, such a life is undoubtedly an insult. And sadness, just like fireworks, after all, you don't want to see it fall into the mud after it blooms, or you see it, and you don't want to admit that it's still it. So dying with happiness was not necessarily a bad thing for Jerome.
The love part of the whole film is not as meaningful as the basic love part, but it shows the irreplaceable role of love in each of our lives. It gives us energy and makes us happier when we are happy. , let us survive the crisis in times of crisis. It is worth mentioning that in the first half, Aini asked Vincent to identify her genes with a low stance, and Vincent's friendly shaking and cleverness brought a smile from the beautiful woman; in the final part, the roles of the two were reversed, and Aini responded the same. It gave Vincent the love he needed, and also warmed the hearts of every audience. It is precisely because of the cold background of genetic discrimination that such little or two warm embellishments are particularly precious, which makes the whole movie feel good. richer colors.
