However, Wei Dao also has a shortcoming, that is, he likes to make long-term films-strictly speaking, this is not a shortcoming. There are many directors who like to make feature films. However, the reason why this is a shortcoming of Weidao is that there is no clear logic behind the length of the film, which makes it very confusing to see half of the film. This problem has already emerged in Pirates of the Caribbean 3. In this film that has gathered the most characters in the series and went to the epic blockbuster, Wibinski only managed to be "interesting." The logic of the characters in the film became the most criticized point in the series. "The Lone Ranger" also followed in its footsteps, with no visual but no logic. Not only did it become one of the biggest loss-making movies in Disney's history, it also became a box office poison with Depp, and had to repeatedly film Pirates of the Caribbean to wash away its stigma. .
Going back to the movie "Life-Saving Antidote", the first half is still qualified, and the suspenseful atmosphere is rendered very well, which makes people feel indistinct as to who is insanity. As a visual director, Weibinski also dedicated a lot of useless, but beautiful scenery shots to render the atmosphere of incompatibility. However, some problems inevitably arise in the middle. For example, there is a clear sense of separation in multi-line narratives, which sometimes gives people the illusion of different time and space, but when you think about it, they are actually linear narratives. There are also other things such as the mother who suddenly woke up, and the watch that just stopped at the same time, maybe the director deliberately did it. However, in the second half of the film, after the male lead was filled with eels by the dean, the plot began to collapse quickly, and the numerous hints given before were all abandoned by the director. The whole movie has changed from whether the male protagonist is sober or mentally problematic to a simple confrontation between good and evil. In the end, another villain who likes to do some xia, bi, lao and dao before killing the protagonist, the male protagonist rescues the female protagonist, the smile of a standard Hollywood fan, the movie ends .
Interspersed among them is a slightly confusing logic. The male protagonist can have the illusion of an eel before he has seen the eel. Is it because he drank the water with the eel? Some of the scenes seem to imply that the plot is not a non-linear narrative. According to the setting, if you have received eel oil extraction, people will become obedient. Why is the male protagonist in a state of resistance? My mother has been emphasizing that the ballerina doesn't know if she is dreaming, is she implying that all this is a dream? Especially after the second half of the film became a cliché Hollywood movie, these dreamlike hints were all abandoned, which is really embarrassing.
All in all, "Life-Saving Antidote" is a very ambitious movie, but due to the change in the second half, the first half of the film has too much foreshadowing and the logic is slightly chaotic. It is worth seeing, but there is no breakthrough.
