It's just that it was lost

"This feeling can be reminisced, but it was lost at the time"

After watching the first feature film "Reminiscence of Mystery" directed by Nuoshen's younger siblings, what came to mind was this touching verse in "Jinse" by Li Shangyin.

Different from other hard sci-fi, this film in sci-fi coat is full of sensitive insights and understanding of the micro world from the beginning to the end of the female director - all of which can also be attributed to the subtle influence of the Nolan brothers:

First, the characters are rich and emotional. "Wolverine" Hugh Jackman's image of a tough guy before his half-hundred years has disappeared. At first sight, like a child who is dazzled by love, he desperately falls in love, thus triggering a poignant love story.

Rebecca Ferguson, who has an excellent performance in the "Mission: Impossible" series of movies, has created an unusual singer in this film, even in the future of Miami, which is soaked in seawater due to the greenhouse effect, she still radiates all over With an elegant and glamorous, elegant and sexy atmosphere, the jazz-style songs sung by the actors can always outline people's memories of the American past in the 1980s, and her beauty and refinement add a lot to the whole film.

Second, the director's femininity is also reflected in the capture of the camera lens, although the dark corners of the film are still filthy and filthy (the Asian black boss played by Daniel Wu in the film is deeply hated); Dreamers are always trying their best to portray all the beautiful things in stark contrast; for example, the warm sunshine that sets off the heroine's face is the "beauty of heaven" from the perspective of God; the city that slowly blooms after night falls is bright. The lights are in line with people's aesthetic imagination of the future world; although the light rail train galloping on the blue sea is unreasonable, it is the embodiment of the director's romantic feelings; the underwater photography near the end of the whole film and before the truth is revealed is beautiful, giving the audience Bring wonderful enjoyment.

Third, the director abandoned the usual grand narratives of sci-fi movies, and used small but refined plots to express subtle and universal themes. Although there is no shortage of ridicules for the ugly faces of capitalists, attacks on underworld crimes, drug abuse, corruption and other ugly phenomena, as well as calls for energy conservation, carbon reduction, and environmental protection themes, these simple and rough expressions are not the core of the film. , depicting the sincere emotion of human beings beyond reason is the director's true intention.

There are also delicate portrayals in the film. When the male protagonist tells the story of Orpheus and Eurydice in Greek mythology, he deliberately hides the tragic ending in order to leave the good memories to the one he loves deeply; The protagonist's "recalling" operation based on future technology has the meaning of non-linear narrative. Through his fragmented and beautiful memories, every audience can sympathize with this gentle and infatuated old man; the heroine's last leap is both right and wrong. The struggle against the unfortunate fate is also the farewell of the little love and the pursuit of the big love, and they are far happier than us in the real world through a special form of immortality in another world. For us today, since we cannot live in the memory of the past through technology, it is better to raise our eyes and look to the future together!

    I just said how could our Rebecca be a bad guy?

    I thought it was a suspenseful sci-fi movie, but it turned out to be a romance movie. After accepting this setting, it is not bad. . . PS: The sequel to "The King of the Circus", the circus boss and the female singer continue the front line. . . PSS: What is Daniel Wu trying to do by mixing Chinese and English, forcibly promoting Mandarin? . . ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Reminiscence quotes

  • Emily 'Watts' Sanders: The problem with going dry is the mind is clear. But the hands... they shake.

  • Nick Bannister: The past can haunt a man. That's what they say. That the past is just a series of moments. Each one perfect. Complete. A bead on the necklace of time. The past doesn't haunt us. Wouldn't even recognize us. If there are ghosts to be found, it's us who haunt the past. We haunt it, so we can look again. See the people we miss, and the things we missed about them.
