The director said, tease you!

To be honest, choosing to watch this movie really stems from the innate psychology of human curiosity. Because this is a big bad movie that everyone speaks of. I really wanted to see how bad this movie starring the big beauty Kate Beckinsale would be. The result did not disappoint me. It was indeed a movie that was so bad.
At the beginning of the movie, there is a bathing scene of our big beauty Kate Beckinsale, (still a typical blocked nude scene in American movies), which makes people feel that the director is not confident about his work, and he needs to use such a boring gimmick to attract the audience. Go down. But the whole movie watching process afterwards really "fits" with Beckinsale's line in the film, "I am in a very depressed mood now." In the movie, the director took the trouble to spread out a lot of the beautiful snow scenes of Antarctica. OK, it is really beautiful, but it is inevitable to get bored after watching too much. The so-called delicacies of mountains and seas are inevitably tasteless if you eat too much. , But the most important thing is that this is a suspense film, not a scenic film! The director didn't even know the priority of the narrative. I really don't know what he thinks.
When it comes to suspense movies, I am stupid, but love to read mystery novels, but almost never use the clues given by the author to logically reason out the murderer of the crime. But I almost identified Dr. John Fury as the murderer when he appeared in the movie, because although the director “maliciously” used the camera to close up the faces of the three male protagonists in the movie, you should always start with the movie. Let's get in touch with the airplane gun battle scene more than 50 years ago! This is the only person who is qualified (age) to kill more than 50 years ago! A suspenseful film, from the very beginning, lost the atmosphere of suspense, it was really a failure.
What makes me gritted the teeth most is that the director seems to like to lay out clues that have nothing to do with the plot. First, the director constantly emphasizes the important role of "snow blindness" in the film, not only the title, but also the film lines to remind the audience. But throughout the film, Beckinsale was only temporarily fascinated by the heavy snow when he was fighting the bad guys, but please, this is not "snow blindness"! (Excerpt from the "Snow blindness" entry in Wikipedia, "Snow blindness is a symptom of temporary blindness caused by strong light stimulation on the retina of the eye. Snow has a very high reflectivity of sunlight, reaching nearly 95%. %, looking directly at the snow is just like looking at the sun. Because this symptom often occurs on mountain, snow and polar explorers, it is called snow blindness.”)
Second, the director designed a heroine to kill her partner , Felt guilty for the plot, but in the end the audience realized that it had nothing to do with the main line of the movie, and the audience was played by the director again.
After watching this film, I feel that the director is not interested in whether the film can be successful in art and box office at the end. What he is interested in is that through this film, he will play with the audience to his heart's content, and finally snicker behind the camera, "Teasing you to play." !".

    The heroine is also too beautiful. .

    The front is quite tense, and it feels like there will be a fierce battle! So I kept waiting for this fierce battle until the ending song sounded... The plot setting behind it is too pale, and the boss behind the scenes can point out who it is by using soldiers and generals...
