"Sunshine Countdown"

, "Trainspotting", "The Beach" and "Millions" director Danny Boyle's latest works, no matter what the theme is, it is definitely a must-see! Even so, I have absolutely no confidence in this work.

From the theme of the movie to the cast and even the promotional posters, I couldn't arouse my good impression at all. On the contrary, my impression of it got worse and worse every time. It's like the theme and movie poster of "Armageddon Save the Earth in the Future", with unrelated actors such as Michelle Yeoh and Hiroyuki Sanada, plus I have heard friends say this movie is wrong before I watch it, so I entered the venue. There is also some mental preparation before. However, after seeing it in person, I think it's okay, and it's not bad for such a type of movie.

One of the smarter ways of the movie is to tell the story from the beginning that the astronauts have been flying for more than a year, instead of spending a certain amount of time to describe the emotional line of life and death. So the movie can use more time in space to create more thrilling scenes. These sensual scenes are fairly evenly distributed, and something must happen at certain intervals to advance the film. As a set of "save the earth" movies, it's honestly nothing to lose. In addition to not involving any sex (even the kissing scene that must appear in this type of film, I believe it is a deliberate arrangement by the director), the film can even be regarded as "completed homework", and has done all kinds of commercial films must include. element.

If this were just a normal Hollywood movie, I'm sure I'd be satisfied because it does what it should. However, knowing that this is a film directed by Danny Boyle, I can't help but feel that what he has done is not enough, without the depth that he has always included. A movie with depth doesn't deepen the meaning of the movie if it doesn't have a spaceship setting, a space suit setting, or erecting three steles at the end of the film to pay homage to Stanley Kubrick.

Speaking of Stanley Kubrick, I always feel that Danny Boyle wants to imitate Stanley Kubrick a little bit, trying to learn from him to shoot movies of different themes, such as hoping to leave his own works in different movie types, but how many sets of works other than "Trainspotting" can be A must-see classic? Let's wait and see.
