"Moving Labyrinth": A movie without a pattern

As a TV drama director inter-directed film works, I always feel that I can't grasp the key points. Both narrative and storytelling are anticlimactic styles. I have not grasped the overall structure and narrative rhythm of the film at all, and the editing is too random. There is no point, which makes the movie look like it ends right from the beginning, and it becomes the sequel's introduction before the climax of the movie. This not only makes people feel that there is no new idea, but also repels this approach. The film did not plan a very large pattern at all, but it was pieced together and interpreted into a series of long stories, although there are literary works. It supported the development of the whole story behind the scenes, but the whole movie was not complete, and the boundaries of paragraph division were very blurred. It was completely a TV series shooting routine, and the unfinished plot was put into the next episode. This way of watching movies is unacceptable. The film has laid a lot of effort on the forefront of the story, and is very careful to highlight the situation of the characters from different levels. It is just that the more the story goes, the weaker it goes, and the less surprises and IQs go back, the more the design of the movie plot is. It's like playing through a game, and you will never encounter difficult problems all the way through. This is destined to be difficult to remember in the movie, even if it uses thrilling plots to impress people's eyeballs, the kind of falling from the sky. The savior model still allows the IQ of the plot design to fall to the end and become a negative number, so that people can't help but want to complain. How willful you are as a director.

The film seems to want to break the mediocrity from the plot, and constantly use some rather novel structural patterns to circumvent the so-called stereotypes, but the more it does this, the more it continues to push the story into the cliche vortex, weakening the ability of other characters to highlight the protagonist's savior. The status of the people is really not surprising. As a youth science fiction film, the film still fully mixes the two elements of youth and science fiction as much as possible, and it also creates a sense of great pattern with spectacular special effects scenes. However, the film did not dig out the clues in the entire maze layer by layer, nor did it fully release the energy and momentum in the imaginary pattern constructed by the movie. After the film wasted most of its time, it was easy and easy to crack the way out of the maze. This abrupt move caused the film’s IQ to drop from a full score of 100 to zero. The director’s move is more than just that. Insulting the IQ of other characters in the film except the protagonist, and indirectly insulting the IQ of the audience in front of the movie. A puzzle that others can't solve for three years, the protagonist completed the escape in three days, and it didn't take a bit of brainpower to keep thinking. He rushed forward to the end, relaxed and happy, and escaped the sea of ​​bitterness without even letting the protagonist really get acquainted with the situation in the maze. I have to admire whether the screenwriter’s IQ is enough? At the end of the movie, there seems to be a touch of fatalism, that is, only the savior can save the world, and no one else is worthwhile. No matter what conspiracy and danger will appear in the future, there must be no problem with following the savior. There is even a problem in the movie. It is very straightforward to say such a message from the mouths of other characters. It has to be said that the personal heroism of the movie is too strong. As a special effect in the movie, it is very eye-catching. The earth-shaking scene of the huge maze constantly changing makes people feel refreshed. Each change really rises like a mountain-building movement, and the ground shakes the mountains, as if It really makes people feel dangerous to be by their side all the time, but compared to the shock and sense of pattern given by the special effects, the movie plot does not have such a huge pattern, because of such a huge maze and maze. None of the monsters inside could trap so many children, and they easily caused them to pass through, and the plot pattern disappeared.

As the performance of the actors in the movie, except for Will Poulter, who had a gratifying performance in the movie "Fake Families," he felt as the biggest villain in the movie, and the overall performance felt very mediocre. The movie is completely supported by a group of young actors who are mingling on the small screen, and there are no old drama bones or powerful actors who can really support and flaunt their acting skills, thus losing a model that can be a guide. With the role of learning, there is no analogy for these young actors to mix with each other, making the performance seem rather messy and unstructured. The film is very abrupt and jumps too much at the sudden point of the plot, not only makes the plot difficult to digest, even the actors’ performances are difficult to respond quickly to the sudden plot, thereby reducing the art of the film. level.

As an adaptation of a dystopian novel, the film does not show the utopian world it wants to portray. This is not as good as "The Hunger Games", or even the recently released "Teacher of Memory", at least They have shown us a specific utopian world systematically and comprehensively, and this movie is just the beginning of the utopian world and it is not a utopia, let alone a dystopia, and it can't even be involved. The movie really doesn’t give people too much surprise. Although the subject matter reveals a very exciting look, there are mazes and beasts, but there are very few scenes focusing on the maze and the beasts, so that all the movies are wasted in irrelevant. The characters are on the scene. Not only the dialogue is unnutritive, but the ending is pale and weak. I think those who can like and support this movie will only be die-hard fans of the novel!
