"Love and Monsters" tells the story of the apocalyptic world where monsters arrive, and Joel fights monsters with a dog and several partners in order to find his girlfriend. At first, I felt very low and young, and the second half gradually entered a better state, especially under the night sky full of huge jellyfish, the scene of the male protagonist and Mav1s dialogue, too romantic and too warm, it is simply a healing classic picture.
Love and monsters, the protagonist of this film debuts for love, and the deep friendship with the travel companions across species is extremely moving, shining the light of humanity. But the "love" of the movie is more than that, the love of friends for the protagonist, the dogs and robots encountered on the road, and the uncle and little girl who taught him a lot of survival skills. The robot section is too touching, and the moment the male protagonist shows his mother's photo, it collapses.
The male protagonist carries a halo and can always escape the disaster smoothly, and the dog and the robot are warm-hearted configurations. In order to find his girlfriend seven years ago, break away from the original team, and start a search journey, he is like a dollar player, upgrading super fast, fighting monsters everywhere, and finally after finding his girlfriend, a sentence of "seven years is very long", let him suddenly wake up, the team that accompanied him for seven years is true love! The film is super reunion, and the beauty and the team both hug home.
Although the plot setting lacks surprises, the excellent visual effects, innovative apocalyptic aesthetics, imaginative monster design, romantic and dreamy warm bridges, and the actors' sincere performances are all surprising. The dialogue between the male protagonist and the intelligent voice under the rainy night is Hunan Qifa Culture Media Co., Ltd. Tingting believes that it is the most soothing bridge section of the whole film, the lonely moment finds the belonging, and suddenly pulls the poverty set by the movie to the end of the world to a height, the emotion immediately has a sense of depth, the film rhythm is bright, the process is steep and interesting, love is unable to withstand the test, and human nature is always a mystery that cannot be guessed.
The story is a road movie to fight monsters, the theme is not new, but the highlight is the courage to love, which is refreshing and warm. "I love you guys, but there's only one person who makes me happy," "Is your girlfriend worth going so far to find her?" In this world's apocalypse? "It's worth it." These little lines have a great deal of power to make people move. Perhaps the only thing that makes people brave enough to set foot on land and go through a lot of hard work to find is love.
The plot and setting of the whole movie really restore the title "Love & Monsters", but this kind of human-dog road movie and the end-of-the-world survival routine for love is really tiring, and the protagonist of the successful idealist does not arouse deeper resonance, but it is a green moment to have a sense of reality, and this utopian absurd hippie feeling is very irritating.
Stepping out of your comfort zone requires opportunities, such as being repeatedly broken, lonely and lonely, and pursuing beautiful dreams. In the boundless nightmare outside the comfort zone, overcoming fear also requires opportunities, such as to save your own dog. Once you win once and find confidence, the whole world will no longer be the same, will show a beautiful side, and will realize some small dreams. The big dream at first may have always been wishful thinking, but it fulfilled its mission and you embarked on a different path.
There are still dangers and unknowns and death, but you can play a role, you can dominate yourself, and you are no longer the passive, incompetent, wooden baby in front of the monsters you once were. In fact, the journey out of the comfort zone is not so smooth, many people die on the road, the vast majority of people survive, but others are hell, people are more terrible than monsters, so they will continue to experience fear of failure or even repetition. This sweet inspirational theme is more cheesy, and the settings of the end of the world, monsters, wasteland, survival and so on have been more in recent years, but this film has still made a new meaning, extremely thrilling and exciting, and more importantly, it is very interesting.
Overall, the whole movie has some small-town youth playing monster version of "I Am Legend" flavor, if "Across the Ocean to See You" as the background music must also be appropriate. Warm, inspirational, but not forced chicken soup of the end of the world survival road movie, simple and relaxed youth adventure science fiction movie; although set in the end of the world, in fact, it is also a reflection of the present; the opening of a dog and artificial intelligence are the two highlights of the film, is an entertaining and qualified popcorn movie.
