Ang Lee's "Failure".

Technology is no longer the background (i.e. technical support) of the film, it itself becomes a constitutive part of the film. Breaking out of the "professional scope" of deeply cultivating film production, rethinking the boundaries of film, and paying attention to the forces that challenge "what is film" is a spirit of meta-film discourse. Specifically for this film, Ang Lee uses the advanced technology to stimulate the body's "seeing" with the currents of the night water surface boat, the water-like immersion experience, the visual explosion quenched by the clones, and the sudden night vision goggles perspective. . The body remembers this viewing through experience, and the traditional eye viewing mechanism is already vulnerable in the era of nerves as images. Isn't the "appearance" of technology itself just validating Deleuze and Guattari's argument about refrain?

As I said before, I wasn't looking forward to the plot at all. I will rewrite the thought of watching the trailer for the first time: Ang Lee, at this age and achievement, can lie down and eat his own pockets like most directors and stay in his own safety zone. And he, a person who can't even use a computer, is still trying new technologies and new types. This time it feels like he's trying to break the boundaries between what's true and what's false in cinema. 120fps+3D+4K is too real, it's too real without any extra color grading and fancy photography editing skills, it's so real that it feels fake, but it feels magical. (Forgive my limited language skills) Finally, I want to say again, there are many directors who make movies seriously, but Ang Lee is the one who really takes movies seriously. Respect.
