NO.5
Triangle of Sadness
Triangle of Sadness (2022)
Recommended Index: ★★★★
A satirical rendition of the extrapolation of "appearances": from the superficiality of the fashion industry, to the hypocrisy of the upper class, and finally to the hypocrisy of human nature.
Solid drama and precise scheduling provide full watchability for comedy.
The unconventional three-paragraph style, each with some different characters and emphasis, makes it difficult for you to identify with it for a while, but you will soon be attracted to it.
Among them, the "shipwreck debate" between the "communist capitalists" in Russia and the "captain of the socialist cruise ship" in capitalism is the most exciting, touching on the main social ideas encountered by human society over the past century.
The third paragraph's return to the "matriarchal society" and the final reversal of concealment are also reasonable and wonderful.
The film has a Hong Sang-so-like opening, a "White Lotus Resort"-like transition, a "Lord of the Flies"-like mid-time, and a "Battle Royale-like finale".
The details and reversals are surprising, and some of the visual design is imaginative, and it's a very high-class satirical comedy.
The sight of the captain and the Russians chanting those famous words into the microphone on the ship about to capsize is romantic, desperate and majestic.
NO.4
Alita: Battle Angel
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Recommended Index: ★★★★
A gift from Cameron, a geek maniac in the film industry, to the world's original fans, two-dimensional otaku and visual effects parties as a veteran dream fan.
The plot is very faithful to the original work, the visual effects really don't have to be said, the details of the heroine in motion capture are very realistic, and there is no sense of disobedience in the whole film with a pair of big eyes.
The story compresses the content of the first three acts of the comics, and makes some trade-offs and character changes, but the relative adaptation is already good, especially many scenes and plots, bar brawls, Jie Xiuhuang, and a heart are simply restored.
The narrative is not shocking, the technology is breathtaking, compared to the hot motorized iron ball, Uncle Ying's favorite is still the bar fight, the CG action is smooth + fake and real, I have to praise it!
Story layout + plot tension + emotional rendering + lens scheduling is very skillful, and the unexpected special effects are superb.
Although there are flaws, the overall is very smooth, and after 30 minutes, I will hold my hands and watch it, several plots are tearful, and the BGM at the end of the film is explosive.
The plot of this film is not yet complete, and there are many questions and unfinished points, and I hope to see a more comprehensive and profound interpretation in the next few films.
NO.3
Runaway players
Free Guy (2021)
Recommended Index: ★★★★
Combining the settings of gamers and background characters in the same genre and placing them in the same character, while allowing them to break all the rules, this film's attempt can be described as bold and innovative.
And with such a setting, all adventures become more interesting.
The story of two worlds with multiple parallel lines relies on an uncomplicated plot and uncomplicated cuts to make it concise and easy to understand.
The just right parody, the point-to-point ridicule, the favorite plot, the sincerity and romance that directly point to the hearts of the people, and shoot the cliché very freshly.
In addition to the novelty in concept, the overall presentation of the film is also remarkable, with funny jokes and unconventional, exquisite special effects shots, and excellent production, and the two main story lines interspersed with each other with proper rhythm.
Each character has created a relatively complete character, especially the supporting roles are very outstanding, coffee shop clerks, police officers, the protagonist's good friends, and the old brother who has been raising his hand, their presence on the screen can make the audience empathize, like the gamers in the play, and experience the fresh life of these AI characters.
"Loving you is written in my program, I'm just a love letter to you."
This sentence is really romantic to the extreme.
NO.2
upgrade
Upgrade (2018)
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
Within a limited cost, it is a sci-fi model that takes the setting, action and theme to the extreme.
Although the setting is very repetitive, it still surprises. The reaction of black technology is always the ultimate proposition.
From the details to the end of the show, it is revealing that human beings use technology as a means of escaping reality, and under the operation of AI, the feelings between people are becoming more and more alienated and less empathetic.
When the violence of the virtual world is reversed with reality, the accusation of violence is achieved.
The story idea is good, the workmanship is good, and the cost is not high, but the proposition of machine control is new.
The combination of cyberpunk retro style, the concept of biochemical modification of the human body, vertigo and rapid action scenes, and a bloody and merciless revenge story is a cool combination.
The director's shots create an unusually cool and B-grade sense of enjoyment, and the small reversal at the end is also reasonable.
NO.1
Blade Runner 2049
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
Literary science fiction blockbuster, one of Denis Villeneuve's most mature works.
The soundtrack is too resonant, the picture is breathtakingly beautiful, and the nearly three-hour film is a completely immersive viewing experience.
"2049" is very grand in terms of aesthetics, soundtrack, and background structure of the story, and it is also very full and three-dimensional in the shaping of the plot and story, and the movie has a lot of blank spaces that make people have endless memories.
Continuing the sad and melancholy tone of the previous work, and rising to the artistic conception, the world view is incomparable.
The protagonist is still a double marginal person, heart-rending to fulfill the wonderfulness of others, maybe this is the real tragedy.
The pace is slow, but it doesn't feel sluggish at all, acid rain, rust, fog and neon blend together, in addition to the poetic narrative, pictures and sound effects, there is a more in-depth philosophical discussion than the first part.
The overall color and shape are very stunning, and the director did not follow the rules, but developed his own aesthetic style and storyline while respecting the old setting.
Like its predecessor, it will eventually become another milestone in the history of science fiction films.
