Literary hooligan

For the new art carrier of film, many artists in other fields regard film as their new artistic attempt. Therefore, movies often present the essence of music, painting or literature.

In his first work "Death Illusion", Richard Kelly used a scientific artistic concept to illustrate a profound concept-time. The film length of more than two hours is definitely a torment. There are many mysteries, obscure times, characters not introduced, and even the clues of the story are buried in the book of time. Coupled with those esoteric vocabulary, such as "transmission" and "wormhole", it is involuntarily linked to Hawking's "A Brief History of Time". At the end, I did not want to expose my half-knowledge of science, so I had to clap my hands and applaud it. A work of horror!

But maybe it's just a nonsense.

Since science is involved, is it too subjective? Richard Kelly, what can you say about your own authority in science? Okay, let's call it "a point of view" for the time being, and I can accept it. However, this year there is another "Death Illusion 2" written by Richard Kelly. I can't understand it. This scientific point of view can still be explained by a sequel.

What if we just say that all the films of Richard Kelly are viewed as suspense thrillers? It is definitely an "irresponsible" movie. I can't tolerate "Southern Legend" sending 2/3 of the film as a hidden part on the Internet, which is too unreasonable. The story of the death illusion is procrastinated, leaving suspense indiscriminately, and no answer is given in the end. This is not a mystery at all. I don't think Richard Kelly can tell why, and there is no answer at all. It's like asking if you know if I am happy or sad now. The answer is to say what I like.

I was looking forward to tho box at first. I think Richard Kelly should understand some truths after experiencing some setbacks. Many movie fans have gradually awakened from the ghost of "death hallucinations". , It's time to honestly make a horror work, and also invited commercial actors like Cameron Diaz, it shouldn't be too remote. As a result, Richard Kelly still clings to science, how much do you know? Doing this will add points to the movie? I'm tired of Richard Kelly's use of superficial scientific principles and put on a mysterious coat to scare people. It's ridiculous.

Richard Kelly is a complete artistic hooligan. Plagiarizing the audience's senses, and finally irresponsibly telling the audience to discard it, the foreplay is only glib lies, and when the audience is provoked, it turns out that it is nothing but nothing. What a despicable filmmaker.

If I press the button, I will kill you first, Richard Kelly.

The Box quotes

  • Martin Teague: Sir? If you don't mind my asking... why a box?

    Arlington Steward: Your home is a box. Your car is a box on wheels. You drive to work in it. You drive home in it. You sit in your home, staring into a box. It erodes your soul, while the box that is your body inevitably withers... then dies. Whereupon it is placed in the ultimate box, to slowly decompose.

    Martin Teague: It's quite depressing, if you think of it that way.

    Arlington Steward: Don't think of it that way... think of it as a temporary state of being.

  • Arlington Steward: I'm sorry, but I have a very busy day.
