      "Knowing"--End Of The World On Paper

      When I saw the people in the last city arguing and struggling, 

      I thought that someone would hug me quietly.

      just like someone would guess the future.

      "The Prophet": Aliens Freed Earthlings

      SDMS Rating: 63

           A boring afternoon, always a good reason to watch this type of movie.
           The Prophet is a ridiculous movie, and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a popcorn movie like this one. Because everyone has superficial emotional expressions, stereotyped performances, and label-style blasting ideas... But there are still some good and bad. For example, "Shen Sha" back then was good, and this one, suck!

           The plot of "The Prophet" is full...

      Powerful and arrogant movies

      I went to the cinema to watch the movie "Knowing", and when I came back, I kept scolding all the way. The simple and far-fetched connection between religion and science shows the irresponsibility of the director and screenwriter. In a class at MIT, the hero asks the students what elements the sun is made of! (Haven't you studied it in high school?!) "The Prophet" accurately expressed the time, latitude and longitude and the number of deaths in numbers, and then a few years later, the male...

      The Prophet Characters


      Lucinda: At the beginning of the film, he was relied on to create a terrifying atmosphere. He was harassed by unknown languages ​​since he was a child, and he was in a trance. When making a time capsule at William Dawes Elementary School, he wrote a prophetic code, and it disappeared unexpectedly at the launching ceremony. Years later, he got married and had children. His family couldn't bear his eccentricities and was forced to live in a room alone, but he was still worried about the...

      Americans finally have no yy.

      Crazy thoughts and some questions:
      1. I spent most of the film thinking that Nicolas Cage would save the entire planet, which is a natural thinking to watch American blockbusters.
      2. In the end, the Sheng-like aircraft carried children from many corners of the earth, which once again subverted my traditional American view of blockbusters. I thought only white people would be liked by alien strange uncles.
      3. Black stones represent life? If so, why did those rocks fly when Nicolas...

    Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, 50 years later, a group...

    Fresh elements

    The subject of science fiction films is not uncommon, but this film adds fresh elements to the original foundation, and the new form of the film may surprise the audience. It is quite good in showing the basic elements of science fiction films-the magnificent action scenes, but the central idea of ​​the film seems to be more inclined to show the strength of people in chaos and disasters, and the story itself is also full of twists and...
