Speaking of production, let’s talk about another aspect of the viewing experience—sound effects. The application of sound effects in this film is a bit thin and the intention is too obvious. For example, in the small climax of Ender entering the cryo gun arena, the background music of the film starts to increase the drums and bass thumps and then gradually accelerates and strengthens. But with the picture, it is a little too hard, and what I see is just a few people floating, not to mention that the floating does not have the contrast between the background and the background like "Gravity" to show the ethereal texture and take one's breath. There is really no way for a few people to float around to make my blood heat up.
If there is no logic, I have to talk about the logic of the film. It's really hurt. Maybe because the protagonist is a child, the whole film feels a bit like a child playing at home. It is really awkward to put on the super proposition of saving mankind.
First, the director of training started by isolating Ender into a Napoleonic man I understand authoritarian. But at the end of the film, Ender and his friends worked hard to defeat the opponent, and he asked Ender to delegate power before the director of the war. The director's change was a bit abrupt, just because Ender accidentally maimed his former Captain Shorty? It should be that my logic is not good, I can't understand it.
Then, after accidentally maiming Captain Shorty, Ender said he was going to quit. This should be the climax of the movie "Suppression", but it was done with just one sentence from my sister? When I want to understand Ender's feelings, when I want Tiande to find reasons, Ender himself compromised? It's just that they don't let me in. The conflict was resolved too hastily. And I think this is the perfect time for the trainer's ideas to clash with Ender's ideas to find an exit.
In the end, the final big reversal of the plot is actually abrupt and equally abrupt. When the "simulation" bombarded the home planet of the little bugs, I was worried about how the director would explain the final battle for more than ten minutes, so it is not particularly surprising that the "simulation" is the battle. Then Ender's emotions came so fast that the audience couldn't keep up. At this point in the film, many viewers have come back from the toilet or are getting impatient. The audience needs a little sensational "blood stain", but what they get is just a few seconds of long-distance observation of the black and black mother star of the insect, which stimulates the audience. not enough. I believe it's easy for people to break down or explode in that scene, but the audience does need a little time. Ender was heartbroken after that, crying in all kinds of ways. I looked a little "roaring" without being in the play, and suddenly a sense of joy came up... But it's okay to handle it this way - let the audience hurry up Go to the bathroom.
Talking about the protagonist Ender.
First of all, I apologize to "Little Hugo" (the starring Asa Butterfield is the little Zhengtai in "Hugo"). Such a character with a mental disorder and super brain is really difficult for him, and the performance of the leading role makes me a little disappointed. In "Hugo", Asha, who played some true colors, was successful in shaping the role, which made the audience feel identified. But in Ender, I clearly felt he was playing. All kinds of contrived, forced smiles, empty tears (seeing his last big close-up tearing scene, I really felt that he was dripping eye drops or a strong man was crying for a long time without closing his eyes, no emotion) , a strange action. Indeed, such a complex role is a lot for a teenage actor.
To sum it up, the whole movie is just for fun!
- Ender, you're just going to play the simulation, don't worry.
- Just kidding! You've driven a species to extinction!
- Are you in the play?
- Just kidding!
——You started looking at your watch and want to go out to the cinema?
——No, no, no, no more teasing you! Maybe we'll have a sequel
- Ender raises the baby bug and then finds a human to play with to see if he can kill a few people.
114 minutes of film - 34 minutes of Hollywood special effects, 80 minutes of big face close-ups, rambling.
