Regarding this movie, I didn't watch the introductory content, I just saw its trailer on TV by chance, and I decided to watch it. People who live in two worlds are working hard for love. The most fascinating thing about this film is that the two worlds are reversed. When I first started watching this film, the animation at the beginning reminded me of "Angry Island Space Edition". This game uses the gravitational force between the various planets to pass the level, and this movie really has a fight. The reason why the movie is good may be largely because no works of this genre have appeared. The story tells the story of two people living on different planets. Because of their childhood acquaintance, they grew up in love with each other, but they violated the rules of the two planets and suffered resistance from various planets. During a date, the heroine was injured and lost her memory when she was stopped by the border police. Since then, the two men have not been in contact with each other. In the blink of an eye, ten looked over, and each had a new life (this sentence may not be appropriate). On the heroine's side, it was because of amnesia that she couldn't remember the male lead. On the male lead's side, she thought that the heroine was injured and died on the last date. Of course, neither of them got married, otherwise, there would be no movies to watch. The male protagonist sees on TV that the female protagonist is not dead, and tries his best to find her. But our beautiful heroine is still in a state of amnesia, and there are many difficulties! At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist, the male protagonist, first explained the environment to us. Three "laws" between two planets, this is more like the opening of the movie "I, Robot". The beginning of the two films is the same. At the beginning of "I, Robot", the three theorems of robots are also stated, and then the story is started. The two planets here are the rich upper world and the poor lower world, which are more like representatives of the gap between the rich and the poor in real life. The story begins with the protagonist's recollection and narrative as a starting point. According to the principle of gravitation between planets, as the height increases, the effect of gravitation is less, and there will be a shot of the raindrop rising at the beginning. But in fact, if it rains, it should be raining in both worlds, because at such a high altitude, the rain cannot distinguish between the upper world and the lower world. Shortly after the film begins, the hero and heroine are found out on a date, causing the heroine to be injured and lose her memory. Here, I feel unreasonable, or from the picture, there should not be such a large falling speed at such a height. Because the above mentioned that as the height increases, the effect of gravity is smaller, that is to say, the height of the two people on the top of the mountain should be several times higher than that on the ground, just like the heroine riding on the hero. of that effect. Of course, as a movie, the story has to be conflicted and difficult. What I still don’t understand about the film is how the behind-the-scenes production of this film was achieved. Friends who know it must tell me, thank you in advance. The only thing that the two worlds can freely communicate with is the pink bee, and there must be a story here, and a very important turning point. At the end of the film, it helps the two people to meet again. There are many vertically flipped shots in the film. Here is the visual effect of the director who wants the audience to understand the two worlds when they observe each other. Just like the director of Fragment, the protagonist can only remember the first few minutes of memory at a time. This effect is used in editing, which makes the audience feel as if they have short-term amnesia. Seriously, if you look at it this way for a long time, you will not be able to recognize who the other party is when it is really upside down! Just kidding. After the male protagonist knew that his lover was not dead, he was very happy that he had been planning and approached step by step. In order to work in the "Transformation Center" and see the person he loves, the hero uses his voice as a transition when he is working hard, and turns to the heroine dancing with other people. I don't remember such a beloved person at all. people. Such a stark contrast reflects how deeply the male protagonist loves her, and how difficult it is to come to the upper world to meet his lover ten years ago. Although he went to work at the "transformation center" during this period, which made the bosses in the lower world very unhappy, but it was worth it in order to meet the beloved. When the male protagonist returned from the "Transformation Center" application, the boss was very angry, not only because of the conflict between the upper world and the lower world, but also because the upper world ignored the lives of the people in the lower world. At this time, it happened to be on the TV that people in the lower world were sentenced to hang for stealing things from people in the upper world. The boss in the "transformation center" asked women from the lower classes to do human experiments instead of people from the upper world. This also shows that the rich look down on the poor and think that the lives of the poor are worthless. In real life, such ideas are common. As the poor boss said, even though you are poor, you must have your own opinions and be self-reliant. The results of our own research cannot be given to the upper world in vain. The boss's anger is more because he is afraid that the hero will be in danger when he goes to the upper world. There is further progress on the male protagonist's side about entering the "transition center", and the female protagonist has also made progress, that is, she said that she "seems to have lost something very important", letting the audience know that the male protagonist's plan is in progress step by step The realization, he is not in vain. Also in the upper world, the male protagonist meets Bob, who loves stamp collecting. He is the key to the development of the story, and of course the bee is also the key. Bob wants to collect stamps from the lower world and sell them at a good price in the upper world. The actor Adam also has his own wishful thinking. Next is Adam preparing himself to enter the upper world. The director spent a lot of time expressing when he entered the upper world to get dressed. After all, this was Adam's first time going to the upper world, and it was also to see his lover whom he had not seen in ten years. How excited he was. It can be seen from the photo mirror, accidentally broken. Someone behind him heard the sound of breaking the mirror and was following him, which shows how thrilling the heroine Eden is. But because the upper layer of the clothes he was wearing would heat up after an hour, he had to hurry to leave. Later, the shot of the two of them talking on the phone is an equal composition of one left and one right, and one is cool and the other is warm. At first, I thought of using the scenes of the two parties talking on the phone in ordinary movies, and switching back and forth directly, but that would not show the different worlds and different environments of the two people. After meeting many times, the two were separated by the border police, and Adam was forced to stay in the lower world. When Adam also loses hope and stops working hard, Bob uses the success of pink bee pollen research to make a turning point for the film. With his help, the male and female protagonists finally meet and stay together. In terms of lens application, in the first half of the film, the director often uses vertically flipped lenses. After the audience has become accustomed to the performance of the two worlds, they begin to use the full lens to show what happened in the two worlds or use the The normal lens to narrate the progress of the story in the upper world. Like in the first 13 minutes of the film, there are border police to arrest them, and it is difficult to understand where the police are if they are not shown in an upside-down shot (implying that it is the border police of the upper world). At the back, in the process of showing Adam's two journeys from the upper world to the lower world, all the composite shots of the two worlds are used to express the continuity. The later shots of Bob and Eden showing the upper world are all normal shots, not the upside-down shots at the beginning. If you use upside-down shots, the audience will go crazy. A very thoughtful movie, I hope those who haven't seen it will watch it.
