Institutionalization of film structure

Delmer 2022-09-27 14:44:30

Another very ordinary film. Scientists experiment with transparent people, creating transparent people who are out of control and commit murder everywhere. As a detective, the protagonist needs to overcome difficulties to subdue the transparent person, and finally has to become a transparent person by himself. The plot design is old-fashioned, and the 30-second explanatory story turns into a 90-minute movie. What are the remaining 89 minutes and 30 seconds doing? To be honest, the creativity of transparent people is very good and can produce too many creative stories. However, the mindset of the screenwriter is still tightly restricted by the Hollywood model, and it is impossible to escape this kind of institutionalized film. Superheroes save the world. The police are stupid and use bad guys to defeat bad guys. If these modular things can be changed, combined with the setting of transparent people, it will become very interesting.
