Not ugly, just powerless

It's not ugly, it can even be said to be a beautiful and temperament film. I have always liked Juliet Binoche. She is as beautiful as ever and very prominent in this movie. However, it is her clear and soft temperament that lacks the power needed to promote the plot itself, but there is no red-haired girl who is also the heroine performs well. And Robert Pattinson... as always... carrots. As early as the time of Harry Potter, I disliked this man very much. I always feel that he is rigid, lacking in acting skills, and completely unable to understand why he can get hot. But think about Brad Pitt, who has been popular for many years, and I have never liked him, nor do I approve of his acting skills. I can only say that I am too non-mainstream... In general, this is a weak movie. The female director hopes to show the human tension in the desire for sex and reproduction in a closed, suppressed and alienated space. In fact, it is very lame and lacks persuasiveness. And writing this story in the background of science fiction does not have the actual benefits of technology itself, and it cannot add luster to the movie itself. Maybe this movie can be made better, but to be honest, this deliberately created depressive mood is too old-fashioned, and the plot layout does not have a good theme. Or is it because I don’t like Robert Pattinson so much, I think he is such a foolish radish, totally unworthy to play with Juliet Binoche, let alone being raped?

    Wonder movies, the author's style is more of personal preference. Then I won't pretend to be forced.

  • Tcherny: "I'd rather sink into the Earth after I've lost you than to sit around and grieve once you've gone off into your destiny."

    Monte: What are you talking' about?

    Tcherny: It's what my wife told me. I told her I was doing all this for her and our son, to turn our shame into some type of glory, you know? She says that this mission was like burying her twice and that my idea of glory was bullshit.

  • Monte: She's mine, and I'm hers.
