The Douban score of "KIMI" is only 6.3 points, while on Rotten Tomatoes, the difference between film critics and audience ratings is quite large.

The content is more cliché, nothing more than the epidemic, big data, artificial intelligence, social networks, feminist movements...

However, in the finale, Angela, who overcame the fear of going out, still lived happily with her boyfriend.

Originally thought that KIMI was a personal name, it turned out to be only the name of the artificial intelligence device in the movie.

From the perspective of the heroine Angela, she is in a state of "going out to indicate danger", which also represents the current epidemic environment.

How scary is electronics listening? "The New Catwoman" thriller crime drama

There are many hints in the film that she once suffered from some kind of stimulation and suffered from mental illness.

But it doesn't go into the story, the director really keeps the plot as brief as possible.

How scary is electronics listening? "The New Catwoman" thriller crime drama

In addition, as we mentioned earlier, after watching this movie, many people first thought of Hitchcock's movie "Rear Window".

Incorporating modern equipment, KIMI director Steven Soderbergh seems to have reworked Rear Window.

How scary is electronics listening? "The New Catwoman" thriller crime drama

I am also a "deep house" and do not like to go out very much.

Of course, it has not yet reached the level of mental illness of the heroine, Angela is yearning to go out but can't overcome the psychological obstacles, and I don't want to go out at all.

How scary is electronics listening? "The New Catwoman" thriller crime drama

In general, I can voice I absolutely do not video, can type I absolutely do not voice.

In this era when takeaway delivery is delivered upstairs and work can be done from home, it is not necessary to go downstairs for a week or just throw away a garbage.

Most of the reasons are that I'm not good at communicating with people.

How scary is electronics listening? "The New Catwoman" thriller crime drama

It's easy for me to write a few thousand words casually, but if I had to open my mouth and make a long speech, I'm afraid I'd need to prepare a few days of speeches.

Being reticent since I was a child has become a habit of life for me, especially in the face of strangers, I am often nervous and anxious because I don't know how to resolve embarrassment.

How scary is electronics listening? "The New Catwoman" thriller crime drama

Due to my lack of personality, I have also preferred my other half or good friends who like to laugh since I was a child.

Because of this, I can give the burden of finding topics and resolving embarrassment to others.

Escaping one's progress and growth on the short board does not seem to be a particularly good thing.

Being able to talk calmly and calmly is an attractive feature and temperament, whether at work or in love, it is a plus.

Shortly after Valentine's Day, I wish everyone will meet the person who knows how to appreciate you.
