"Super Chappie" 7.0
①
Blomkamp doesn't seem to have written a good summary of the success of "District 9", otherwise it would be difficult to explain why his subsequent films are always the opposite of "District 9".
The neat thing about "District 9" is that the main story is very simple, and because it wants to show the transformation from human to insect, the core of the narrative is always firmly placed on the male protagonist, and in order to serve the need for "display" The pseudo-documentary style used is combined with the messy and messy style, and it has received miraculous results.
And the arc of the male protagonist of "The Ninth District", whether it is the transformation from a small civil servant to an alien creature (vulnerable group), or from a cowardly mortal to a hero who fights against the world, can greatly arouse the audience's empathy And agree, the former aroused resentment, the latter was proud, and in one breath, hanging on the "Ninth District" that year's fame.
When I got to "Super Chapai", this tone was gone.
②
The core of "Super Chappie" is actually growth, not a heroic fight and upgrade, but a growth education of the concept of parenting. As for the threat of artificial intelligence and social deduction in the near future, there is no such thing.
What many people think is long and boring, the little things Chappie experienced and the missteps he went astray are actually the focus of the narrative. For the first time, he was taken to the world by his "father". After being beaten and burned, he stumbled to a secluded place, and he was speechless with a stray dog. We all felt the same fear and helplessness at that moment.
But this moment of empathy won't last the whole movie.

Every time I see something unreasonable, a question mark pops up in my head. After watching this movie, my hair will increase my height by ten centimeters out of thin air.
I found a self-aware super robot, and I was thinking about training people to rob for a long time. I just rolled my eyes and made myself into double eyelids. The small peasant thought really kills people.
Uncle Wolf admired his face to play a middle-aged greasy villain. The police said that we don't want your robot. The damage is overflowing, so you can't contact the military? Ambition can't be bigger? Do you have to fight with others?
Uncle Wolf, you hang out with a gun on your waist during work hours, and take it out from time to time to joke against your colleagues' foreheads. Your company's working atmosphere is really relaxed, huh?
As for the character change of the hip-hop couple, how good is it to love their job and concentrate on planning murder and robbery? Why does the motherhood flood when I see this ragged robot that is not cute at all? The ninja was mean to Chappie for a whole game, and in the end, his father's love suddenly rose like a mountain, which is also confusing.
Because the head is full of question marks.
