Do you still remember the self who was amazed by lighting the lamp in the bed-the film review of "Doomsday Train" and a love letter I gave to fantasy

I still remember that I fell in love with science fiction from a medium-sized novel called "Love You at the End of the World". In order to save his wife who was suffering from cancer, the protagonist, who is a musician, freezes her and herself together with liquid nitrogen technology, and designs for future generations to thaw them. Only a hundred years later, when cancer was only a pediatric for humans, the protagonist was thawed but could not immediately thaw his wife for various reasons. Once, the protagonist could not bear to steal a sub-light spacecraft to carry his wife from the earth to Sirius. When looking at the surface of the hellish Sirius star, he couldn't help but open the cabin where his wife was, causing her wife to nearly die. So the male protagonist has frozen himself time and time again, seeking a way to retrieve his wife in millions of epochs. Until the end of the story, when the universe began to collapse and the hero fell into a black hole, he finally found his love.

When I read this story, I was in the middle three period and was in a miserable unrequited love. But "my heroine" once liked me, just like the heroine in the story was in good health. I feel very touched by myself, and I am determined to do a big business, so that I can save millions to freeze myself, to find a gap in time and space at the end of the universe, and go back to the age when "my heroine" liked me. , Let the story come again and become different. I told my friend at the time about this idea, and he said he was moved by me.

Later, I changed middle school, but what didn't change was my love for fantasy themes, whether it was novels or movies. I remember the moment when the rescuer appeared on the Eastern Horizon in "Lord of the Rings 3", I wanted to shout with my arms; I remember the joy of sneaking out of the house late at night to watch "Golden Compass" alone; I also remember wishing that I could be like the "City of Ashes" The male lead took a girl out of the ground to find the sunshine.

I remember when I just finished my favorite science fiction novel "Three-Body", I often imagined that I was one of the "wall-facers", hiding my true strategic intentions and acting like a city.

Science fiction or magic, I love you, because when I am with you, I can leave the time and space around me, you take me to many places I have never been before, you take me away from helpless, sad, disappointed, you Let me just hit the torch in the bed to be able to exclaim.

It’s just that from a certain point, I rarely see you.

The movie is also called DreamWorks, and I believe its driving force is fantasy. But so far, the film industry seems to have entered a trough. Perhaps fantasy is worthless now. I sneaked out of my house to watch the "Golden Compass" that year. After many years I wanted to watch the sequel, and found that the film distribution company known for its fantasy had also closed down.


I finished my dinner in Tai Koo tonight and walked out of the city center. Three or two Christmas trees matched the temperature of the winter, which made people a little bit cold, from the outside to the inside. At this time, I saw the UA Theater next to me. I wanted to come to Taikoo for a while. It's better to watch a movie and then think about various final projects. It just happened to see the "Doomsday Train" that I wanted to watch some time ago was released. After all, I came to the ticket counter and said that I wanted this movie to fly. But in fact, he said two things: "Student price, shouldn't it."

At ten o'clock, there were not too many people in the venue. I only remember that the animation of the production company for the opening film was two young children. This animation touched me very much. For movies, sometimes two friends chased their dreams recklessly to make their dreams bloom, sometimes even just for a while.

Speaking of "Doomsday Train", this film is a work of absolute sincerity, all details are in place, and the plot is interlocking. Just like the protagonist in the story from the rear to the front of the car, your shock will become greater and greater. , It can completely break the idea that when you watch the trailer, you think it is a pure action film that stimulates the kidneys.

I don't want to have too many spoilers. As a film critic, I want to say that this weekend, you only need to take out your 65 Hong Kong dollars, walk into the theater, and enjoy the joy that the movie brings to you.

If you are a story seeker, mastering the rhythm of the whole film will make you feel like a roller coaster.
If you are a technology fan, the lighting treatment of the tunnel will make you feel worthwhile.
If you are a political lover, the class difference in the film will make you think deeply.

If you feel that you still love fantasy, then in this increasingly "realistic" world, "Apocalypse Train" will tell you that in this world, there are still many people who are paranoid and create a high-quality dream. Let you know that you are not alone on your way forward.

"Apocalypse Train" is dedicated to all those who still have expectations for fantasy.

    As for Bong Junhao's film, it is too general-too many characters lead to incomplete portrayal. As expected, it is still a comic or visual sense. If there are too many "metaphors" and too obvious, it is not called a metaphor... Production Design is good. But I still want to praise one thing: After so many difficulties, the director’s cut version was finally released in the United States.

    If I were the director, let the male lead be brainwashed successfully. Reincarnation is interesting.
