As a major landscape with a long history in Disney Parks, Tomorrowland is trying to show everyone the possible future scenarios, more precisely, the future in the mind of Walt Disney himself. This theme park was first created in 1955, and you can see a variety of geometric combinations full of metallic texture and sci-fi colors, and all kinds of weird buildings are built on the predecessors' imagination of the future world.
In Disney's own words: "Our purpose in designing Tomorrowland is to give you a chance to experience it firsthand, so that you can enter into our vivid blueprint for the future." Twenty years ago, in the classroom on the other side of the ocean, how many children were wandering in the world of tomorrow, thinking about the future in books and drawing books. The future of the past has become the present, and the distant dreams of childhood have long been flying away with wings, and the theme park is nothing more than a park. Although the deceased is gone, Disney, which has been full of long ago, still has to pack the dream card in a nostalgic gift box and play it out, so there is this story about Tomorrowland itself.
If you regain your childlike innocence, this is a simple and interesting story, with the simplicity and innocence of Disney fairy tales, and full of surprise and laughter like a roller coaster ride in an amusement park, and the fantasy about the future world is shining in the golden age. A little bit of light. The film unsurprisingly has a grand theme, that is, mankind's dreams and beliefs for the future. After the first and second youngsters completed the mission of saving the world and saving the future, we also seemed to see Mr. Walt Disney smiling and comforting us with his charming moustache. The bright future is in your hands, just like the sunshine. The vivid afternoon class teacher said to us.
For the talented little inventor Frank Walker, his journey to the future began with the New York World Expo in 1965. Wearing a rocket backpack to participate in the inventors conference was rejected, but because of this, I met the beautiful girl Athena of the same age, and guided her to the secret world of tomorrow. Decades later, Casey Newton, a girl who was bound to the world of tomorrow, in order to find the world of tomorrow, under the guidance of Athena, she found Frank who was disheartened about the future. The three of them went through many obstacles and finally returned to the world of tomorrow, prevented the deterioration of the future and successfully saved the world. That's it, even the plot is very Disney, like a fake change.
Even though the above said good things, I still have to express my disappointment with the movie. The leading trailer created suspense and showed a fascinating part of the future blueprint, but unfortunately, the surprise is nothing more than that. In addition to the jokes brought about by exaggerated performances and cartoon-style scene design in the feature film, the main plot and contradictory settings are too weak, and the flat character setting makes the big names nowhere to play, George Clooney and Hugh Law The limelight of Rui's two big dramas has been overwhelmed by the youthful vigor of the two little girls; and the selling point of Tomorrowland, because of the plot setting, its most dazzling existence is instead as a holographic promotional film, which is told through irony. One reason for us: the promotional video/trailer is for reference only, and the product is subject to the actual product.
I don't know if it is due to the tight budget or limited brain space. Compared to constructing and showing a splendid tomorrow's world, the main shots of this film are focused on the adventures of the cute girl and the handsome uncle to tomorrow's world. The first third of the film serves as an introduction, mainly from Casey’s perspective, leading us to experience the surprises of tomorrow’s world. I have to praise the little girl, Britt Robertson, for her lively, smart and neurotic performance. Although she lacks a trace of Geek's temperament compared to the setting of a genius scientific girl, her surprise and surprise as the first visitor to the world of tomorrow Longing will obviously make the audience more likely to have a sense of substitution, and the youthful breath that she radiates from the moment of laughter, surprise and surprise undoubtedly complements the pleasant and pleasant atmosphere of the movie.
However, the free trial version of Tomorrowland lasted for only a few minutes like the trailer. Aroused by curiosity, Casey decided to live on her own and continue to search for clues, but fell into a robot trap. At the critical moment, Athena, the Lolita robot, arrived in time to rescue Casey and asked her to seek help from Frank Walker. After half of the film, the handsome Uncle Clooney finally debuted. Compared with the calm and steady old astronaut in gravity, Walker in this film is a big boy who has been hurt and resentful and arrogant. Although he wasted Clooney’s character and handsomeness, his cuteness comes from the contrast of the image. It's also fresh.
Frank was already disheartened by the end of the doomsday, but after Casey’s arrival, the probability of world destruction actually dropped from 100% to 99% (it can be understood that the convergence of the world line has been deflected. See the digital tube that counts down to the reality. Is it? This is the choice of the Stone Gate of Destiny). He realized the possibility of still changing the future and decided to return to the world of tomorrow. After receiving professional whitening teeth care, the villain robot calmly harassed the protagonist team several times and went to receive a box lunch. The Eiffel Tower turned into a spaceship silo and slammed soy sauce. This is just another time for the shabby world of tomorrow. Reveal the real body. Half an hour before the end of the film, the unexistent Dr. Boss House... Ah, it should be the Governor of the Knicks officially appeared, and then the second mode was fully opened, taking over the scripts of the villains from the past and present, and making a stupid human being. The high theory that is bound to perish.
In this kind of atypical sense of rhythm, the climax of the film came very hurriedly and artificially. The destruction of the world lies in the indifference and inertia of human beings. It is quite consistent with the logic of the whole movie. However, the idea of transforming human beings is after all such an entertainment is unbearable to movies, so all the black pots are thrown away. Give the future prediction machine developed by Frank. After a dispensable fight, the injured loli robot Athena also destroyed the future predictor with a self-destruction after the usual sensationalism, and killed Dr. House who seemed not so bad by the way... Governor Knicks . In the end, it is natural to usher in a happy ending in which mankind regained confidence to build a better future.
Even with the amazingly wonderful settings in the details, it is still difficult to conceal the old-fashioned and mediocre scene design and plot of the film. The portrayal of the characters is a bit too simplistic. The heroine is a pure and beautiful optimist. As a robot, Athena cares more about her own mission. Although the diehard and stubbornness of the only human Knick in the villain coincides with the image of Laurie, it always It feels very far-fetched.
The only thing with some complexity is the inventor Uncle Frank, but what is interesting is that his deepest entanglement is probably not the despair of the future, but the unrequited love for Athena as a child. The little boy who was deceived by his innocent emotions therefore resisted the world of tomorrow. Later, because of the bleak future foretold by his invention, he was directly expelled. From then on, the innocent dreamer stayed in the world. Even though he was a young man, he couldn't be deceived, but when he saw Clooney, whose face was stained with frost, was awkwardly complaining that the peach blossom was no longer in his face, he couldn't help but laugh. Why are you so young, uncle? Disney’s festivals are still there, and the island country, such a loving picture of Uncle’s Loli and Human Machine Plato is definitely a big hit.
However, it must be admitted that the image of Athena is indeed the goddess in the heart of the teenager, and it is also one of the driving forces of the teenager to create the future. It is not only dreams that can save this world, but also cuteness. At the end of the film, another group of robot children embarked on a journey of recruiting dreamers along the footsteps of Athena. Natural robots have a childlike heart, but it is also considered to abduct more talented boys and girls to join the great cause of saving mankind. Not cheating, maybe.
When the fantasy of the future on the big screen is full of doomsday struggles and dystopian nothingness, the world of tomorrow is set to be a green space in the dark desert of human nature and technology. It can be roughly classified as anti-dyatopia. Bring some fresh and upward air. Although the movie has stopped abruptly on the subject, the discussion about the future will still give viewers some inspiration.
The 21st century has brought us many surprises, but it has not brought the beauty that children had expected, such as the eradication of diseases by world peace. However, people are becoming more and more accustomed to the sensational doomsday predictions. What climate warming society solidifies the thermonuclear war has long been a common theme of film and television entertainment. The vast majority of people have indeed accepted this setting silently, just like the villain in the film. How can the meat eaters make plans?
Paypal founder and well-known entrepreneur Peter Thiel has a very famous saying: "We want a flying car, but we got 140 words." This is not a criticism of Internet technology, but the short-lived and fast-fragmented Wall Street micro-businesses inspire the passion of countless people, which is also confusing. Although we are improving as a whole, haven't we spent too much energy on meaningless things? The irony is that in this age of entertainment supremacy, this thinking is actually conveyed by an entertainment-oriented commercial film, but we still hope that the future will be as smooth as a movie.
