Fortunately, this situation is only a novel by Michael Clayton. In fact, Clayton is more precisely a senior filmmaker. Outside of writing, he started a company and worked as a screenwriter. His novels such as "Congo Fright", "Jurassic Park", "Lost World", "The Corpse Eater", "The Rising Sun", "Mysterious Ball" (ie "Deep Sea Doubt"), "Timeline", etc., were all screened. Unfortunately, as a successful writer, Clayton failed to make himself an excellent screenwriter. It is probably because I cherish my work more, and every film is highly faithful to the original. This phenomenon is even more verified in the film "Deep Sea Doubt".
I don't think that the long background at the beginning of this excellent movie caused a procrastination in the plot, which is quite suspicious of time. The horror of the climax part is not enough, it seems to be cut. At the end, there is a bit of unthinkable "ingenious", which makes people a little bewildered. A good story cannot be successful without a good story. After all, movies are different from novels, with various expressions and a high degree of compactness in the plot, which are not available in novels. But at the same time, the complete expression technique also makes the story more straightforwardly displayed in front of the audience, unlike novels that can create a very powerful imagination for readers. Clayton, who is addicted to novels, is naturally unable to open up his own works. The heavy historical burden has overwhelmed his Sphere.
After seeing it for the first time a few years ago, it didn't give me too much feeling, so today I have to search through Baidu many times before I can find his name. And there are only so few items found. If I were to judge with a ten-star level, I would give him 7 stars. But some of the things shown in it are worth thinking about. Such as: suspicion, greed, and the party's common disagreement, and the corresponding cooperation, sharing, solidarity and mutual assistance. There is also the kind of giving up after rational thinking.
