To be honest, the whole script is very interesting, and it can be completely "up to the ultimate universe, down to love and curiosity". Coppola wants to do something in line with age and identity - to do philosophy; on the other hand, she wants to do something that meets business needs - to play with emotions. It may be that there are too many things to compromise or too many ideas, and the end result is like a geometric homework - a circle, divided into two halves.
Cough~~, as mentioned above, the whole movie is divided into 2 parts.
Dominic, a man with ideals and a sense of responsibility, missed his love because of his long-term commitment to the study of human language, and regretted it all his life. Until the age of 70, it was finally unbearable and wanted to commit suicide. Who would have thought that the creatures tricked people, and before they committed suicide, they were hacked by thunder (囧), thus starting the magical journey of Dominica.
Speaking of this, he is not only in danger of life, but also evolved into a person higher than the current stage of human beings (let's say so), not only rejuvenation and youth are favored by ladies, but also has evolved intelligence, and even has A superpower that seems to be a superpower that can tell you what's in the book with a wave of your hand, and can grab a pistol with a single move of your heart.
The story takes place during World War II. German mad scientists, American agents (Matt Damon has a cameo), and sexy female spy all want to control the living specimen of this new human being in the 20th century.
How's it going, it's cool, right? This part is simply a product of men's obsession with power and ability. It has sufficient commercial value. If you want business, do business. Maybe it will eventually become the X-MAN of the 20th century, then we laity can also orgasm A handful, but the story separates here.
What happened next, Coppola let go completely and played happily. From Buddhism to reincarnation, from philosophy to Zhouzhuang Mengdie; from Sanskrit, Egyptian, Babylonian back to Sumerian; from the daughter of Nagabad to duality Madhyamika philosophy; Lord Shiva. I have touched all the curious elements such as classical philosophy, Buddhism, ancient languages, etc., so that you don't know whether to applaud or scratch your head.
But Coppola's string about love has never been broken. According to the interpretation in the play, Dominica and love are always binary opposition. The more he pursues the ultimate knowledge, the farther and farther the love goes; the more he evolves, the more the love ages, and the heroine is such a symbol.
In short, you can think of this film as two films. The first half has all the elements of a commercial film; the second half can be regarded as a hodgepodge of philosophy and Buddhism. ). As soon as he wanted to use his brain to think, he stopped playing, you say tossing people?
After reading it hastily, the first impression is like this. It is like eating a strange hot pot. The materials are rich and colorful, but it is not salty or spicy. The only benefit is that, in the name of youth, it is the reality of sexual immorality.
In Dominic's words: "If I confuse real experience with a dream, my life is more interesting than I imagined."
