There are two roads in front of you: the smooth road that others have planned for you to the President of the United States; the rough road to live with your beloved girl. The former is a smooth road, the latter is full of thorns. Which one would you choose? "Fate Planning Bureau" is about the decision and actions of rising political star David Norris in the face of this choice. His decisions and actions have been thwarted by a group of self-proclaimed "Destiny Planning Bureau" who claim that David has gone against the order of fate and that if he wants to be with his beloved girl Alice, the fate of the two will be under great threat. If separated, then both would become glorious legends. After thinking hard and painfully, David decided to go against the plan of his destiny and choose his own destiny. The work is more like a love novel, and science fiction is just a shell. Therefore, the atmosphere of the film is more relaxed and interesting, and the plot is more warm. The setting of the agency "Fate Planning Bureau" is a very interesting aspect of the film. They are responsible for planning each person's life journey, and if they find that a human being has violated their plan, they will intervene and make adjustments to bring it back "on track." However, in the film, Richardson of "Fate Planning Bureau" did not know why David and Alice couldn't be together when confronted with David's questioning. In other words, he doesn't know why the "right track" is the right track. When people face their own path, they definitely need planning; however, if there are no factors such as feelings, interests, free will, etc. in the planning, then this kind of planning is no different from the life process of the walking dead. In a sense, the "Fate Planning Bureau" represents some things that seem to be the truth. These so-called "truths" will tell you what to do and what to give up; Feelings, interests, "truth" don't care and think that's wrong. In fact, thinking about the living environment we live in every day, isn't it also at the mercy of some "fate planning bureaus"? Academics, careers, marriage, social interaction, all activities have so-called correct paths. Once some people make different choices, they will be rejected, attacked, and suppressed. Personal choices and interests become irrelevant, everyone is the same, as if this is the world's richness. Perhaps this is the saddest reality: the self-deceiving "splendid". In the film, David Norris dared to declare war on fate, listened to his inner voice, and walked through doors with his beloved girl hand in hand, making people look warm in their hearts and shed a few tears of joy. In fact, this is also the reflection of everyone's inner good wishes in the film. While watching the film, we also completed a choice of our own in our hearts.
The film revolves around the actions of a politician, the story is not to mention twists and turns, and the sci-fi plot is also very lacking. I don't know if the original is true, but as far as the film itself is concerned, at best, it relies on sharp editing to turn the Japanese animation Doraemon. Some of the plots of the film were made into live-action versions, and then some romantic romances and spy battles in "Bourne Bourne" were added, which was completely a commercial film temperament of the standard Hollywood assembly line. After discarding the lackluster technology and story, and tearing off the bloody coat of science fiction, the only bright spot of the film is the metaphysical theme of destiny and the universal values that emphasize individual will. Of course, this is also the usual shooting tactic of Hollywood blockbusters. After some right and wrong, he never forgets to export the universal values of "American imperialists", "poisoning" the moments of surfing in Hollywood blockbusters that we have borrowed from generation to generation on weekdays. Good young people with warm and cruel reality. Therefore, we must always be vigilant of this invisible "cultural aggression". Therefore, there is a certain logic to some arguments about closing the country and closing one's eyes, that is, being a happy blind man is better than being a miserable blind man. Management costs and risk factors are much lower. Speaking of cost, obviously the film's shooting cost is not high, which limits the spread of sci-fi scenes. Relatively speaking, the maintenance of the plot and the expansion of the story are more dependent on the actors. The male protagonist is played by Matt Damon. , a 24-year-old young politician who complements Matt Damon's middle-aged temperament. After years of experience, the big boy with a young and innocent smile in "Soul Hunter" has become a calm and capable middle-aged man. , the performance in the film is neither surprising nor flawed. The story is based on the premise of science fiction. Most of the first part sets "God" or "Fate" to an inviolable height, and makes ideal and love, two life topics that can complement each other, conflict, giving a tricky choice. , Left hand ideal, right hand love, which one do you choose? When someone clearly tells you that if you leave her (him), they will become famous for each other, and they can only grow old in obscurity together. Whether it is to fulfill each other's ambitions or ideals, or stay together for a lifetime and grow old, I believe everyone will be more or less. faced with this choice. In the end, the film ended in perfection. "God" not only gave people a problem, but also experienced a thrilling test. In essence, human free will is the invincible magic weapon. There are nine kinds of dragons, and they are all different. It is not only under the spotlight and on the podium that the value of life can be reflected. People say that marriage is a shoe. Whether it is comfortable or not, only the feet know, and so is life. What kind of life is what you want most? Yes, the most suitable one is to ask yourself, to ask your heart.
There are two details in the film that are worth recalling, one of which is: the people in the "Fate Planning Bureau" can only shuttle back and forth between doors with hats, because this is the way the director limits their power; the other is: water Those who can hinder the "Planning Bureau of Destiny" perceive the human psychology. The door symbolizes human choice, the hat symbolizes power, and the "Fate Planning Bureau" can interfere with human choice just because they have power. However, this power is also limited, because without the hat, they cannot intervene - go through the "door". This detail neatly reveals the structure and activities of human society, and makes us understand why it is so difficult to dare to stand up for ourselves. The setting of the second detail is more worthy of consideration. In my opinion, water here represents human emotion and determination. When one's feelings are strong enough and determination is strong enough; those who stand in the way, no matter how powerful, will feel fear. In the middle of the film, David desperately looks for a taxi and goes to Alice's dance company to see Alice, which eventually causes a water wave effect, which makes Richardson helpless; at the end of the film, David keeps walking through doors in the rain, Finally reaching the court, it also allows us to see the greatness and indestructibility of love. There's one scene that feels hilarious and hilarious: Richardson is taken aback when he learns that David and Alice were supposed to be together in the old version of the Planning Book. He told Harry this fact, and Harry's line was intriguing: "The plan can be changed as it is?" Funny? Sad? I don’t even understand why the plan has changed, and I’m still thinking about planning others every day. What’s the point of such a life plan? When you are walking on the "correct path" arranged by others, have you ever thought about it: the person who arranged this road doesn't actually know why this road should be taken. Stars Matt Damon and Emily Blunt also played well. However, the dilemma of life choices that the film alludes to can resonate with the audience. Perhaps, this is the film's greatest charm. A person's life can only be completed by himself, and a person's plan can only be beautiful and brilliant when he listens to his inner choice. Freedom is a person's greatest talent and power. If it is given up, it is a person's greatest sorrow. The book of life planning can only be best written by oneself. When faced with a choice, you can ask yourself: go the other way, okay?
The function of the planning bureau is very interesting, they only affect those who will achieve something, start with the details, and help these people step by step, the others are all stepping stones, not worthy of their care. What does this detail show? Like some pre-determined candidates, the superiors create conditions for these people to be promoted. If you are not up to your expectations, the superiors will give up on you. Another insinuation. The fate of the gods is all about whether there is someone above, and if there is no one, where can you go. The random door represents privilege and cheating. People in the planning bureau have the privilege to travel to and from any place, which puts them above everyone else. Those who have seen "The Matrix" should be impressed by those random doors. The plagiarism of this detail in this film also shows that this is a sign of privilege. The hat represents the right, and the person wearing the hat has the right to use the random door, which is comparable to the keyman or privileged character of "The Matrix". And the black brother of the "Planning Bureau" lent Damon the hat, which means that he has the right to change the direction of his destiny. Historically, hats really represent rights. There are too many such examples, too many to list. From emperors to officials, different hats also represent what he can do. Throughout the ages, people's destiny has always been planned by various "planning bureaus", the more imaginary ones are God, Buddha, Heaven, and Allah. There are various conspiracy factions (Illuminati, etc.), various planned governments, and even various material pursuits. Our belief in religion and worship of gods and Buddhas are all expressions of putting our destiny in the hands of such almighty people. Will they plan our lives according to our wishes? If we change our character, temper, behavior, etc., and unconditionally obey and dedicate to them, will they show great compassion and treat us differently? If human beings are completely free from the influence of these mighty ones, will they have the confidence to control their own destiny? When we do something seriously wrong (whether punished by the law or not), a theory of retribution and punishment will appear in our own and others' minds, as if there is always a planner somewhere to judge our behavior. We have all seen a very interesting habit of burning head incense, which is said to bring good luck to the year, and the Chinese people are never tired of it. Seeing this, the statement that I can control my own destiny is actually very pale. When encountering something that I can't cope with no matter how hard I try, I either accept my fate and think that various "planning bureaus" have set the results; or I pray to God. Buddha, I hope that the "Planning Bureau" can open the door and change his destiny. Regarding the cognition of planning, with the advancement of science and technology, many hopes that were previously placed on the "Planning Bureau" have been grasped by ourselves, but more hopes have also been born. We can still confidently plan our destiny only with sustenance, and it is impractical to be free from these , and these sustenances come from the confidence in various "destiny planning bureaus", believing that they have made "wise" decisions for the "correct" development of mankind. At present, human cognition can only go so far. In the future, human beings may be able to plan their own destiny more. Therefore, we can try to change the trajectory of our own destiny and fight, but our cognition has already determined our destiny. The so-called control of our own destiny is only our inner expectation for a better life, and the destiny we are willing to achieve may be the end of our destiny. What is achieved in the revision is the so-called "the only one who can fight against destiny is destiny itself".
In the end, the most criticized thing about movies is that science fiction movies do not exclude love, but the characteristics of love in science fiction movies must match that of science fiction movies, and its status cannot be greater than that of science fiction. Generally speaking, when love is used in movies to illustrate the limitations of human subjectivity in the face of nature, such as "The Time Traveler's Wife", "The Butterfly Effect", etc., then the sense of unchangeable fate will be greatly enhanced The idea of the film. A negative example here seems to be "Source Code", which has been praised by many people this year, but the love in "Source Code" is just a "by-product" of science fiction. When it comes to preaching that man is better than love and love is better than Jin Jian's omnipotence theory, then it is very likely to become a love farce of "how bold and prolific people are". In fact, such a movie is more interesting than a myth and magic theme. , such as the recent "Butterfly on the Shoulder". "The Planning Bureau of Destiny" has a grand start, and the final destination is love, which is really a little over the top. Wrapping an unmoving love story in a beautiful sci-fi coat is really worth the loss. I believe that the original book must be very exciting. Maybe it has enough space to establish a strong logic and make a reasonable and reasonable graft of the two themes of science fiction and love, but in the movie, the super sci-fi temperament at the beginning is excessive. It raised the audience's expectations for the film. When we found that the film's final foothold was placed on a mediocre love story, we couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. "Destiny Planning Bureau" forced science fiction and love to die, and the results were ugly.
All in all, it's worth a look.
