predator city
(Mortal Engines)
Re-watched a point movie released in December last year - "Predator City", directed by Christian Rivers, the film was adapted from the British novelist Philip Reeve's steampunk fantasy novel - "Hungry City Chronicles" series.
Because I rarely read science fiction novels, I haven't read the original book, but I personally like the "steampunk world" shown in the film. The special effects and details are very well made, but aside from this level, the world constructed in the film is exaggerated and less profound than that of "Blade Runner 2049".
After reading some film reviews, one of them wrote: "Blindly constructing a grand world, exaggerating urban Darwinism discussions, but failing to resonate with the audience." I recalled carefully, and there was one scene that still touched my heart. The heroine Hester Xiao met the zombie who raised him in the Mountain Country Air Alliance - Shrek to take revenge and experienced a fierce fight. When the zombie was about to kill the male protagonist, facing Xiao's tears to stop him, he stopped his revenge. The voice with the machine said slowly: "Hurst Xiao is in tears, you are in tears, do you love him?" When he said this, sparks flew from his body that was about to stop working. Also shouting "Shrek". At that moment, the emotionless zombie recalled the story of Xiao's growth when he was a child, just like his own daughter. Of course, he also recalled his own child. Hearst Xiao's shout at that moment was clearly calling Shrek "father". ", because he rescued her and raised her, even though he is a zombie! What moved me even more was the intriguing inquiry of the avenging Slack when he saw Hearst Shaw cry and seem to be in love with someone. From questioning to becoming gratified and satisfied, it seems that he has completed a certain mission and can leave with confidence. It is such a plot, but even in science fiction movies, this expression hits my heart, because this paragraph is handled very plainly, with explosive force in the plainness, and what people feel is the simplest emotion.
It's been a long time since I watched a movie, and I always thought that the world in the movie was a complete expression. Of course, some commercial operations and imperfections are unavoidable, but as long as there are one or two details that you can feel and feel—(this point ripples in your heart), this is a beautiful thing Bar?
