Qualified movie, old-fashioned plot

The reason why the movie is qualified lies in the final climax. All the foreshadowing is used, and the basic plot settings are not wasted at all. The two factions that were not introduced are obviously presented as the second part, which is irrelevant. But before, such as the flying knife, the mother is a fearless faction, etc., all provide an opportunity for the final climax to occur. Moreover, the fascinated look of the heroine when she saw the fearless party, and her indifference to helping others all hinted at the heroine's choice. And the climax when the final coup happened was just right, there was no cold scene. The grasp of small details is also OK. The heroine squeezed past the crowd and walked to the male protagonist. The male protagonist held the hand of the female protagonist. This tiny action explained everything. In short, everything seems to be in line with the way a movie should be.
Now let's turn on the rant mode.
First, the plot is old-fashioned. The typical dystopian plot, the old meme commonly used in American movies, is the end of the world. In the future, human beings have made strange and strange settings, and the plot of the movie is to see how the protagonist subverts this setting.
Second is the heavy Mary Sue plot. At the beginning, the heroine was unique, and the savior's halo was shrouded in it. After that is the campus story, which is very close to the parts of "Ender's Game" and "Ace Agent". It is a story in which the protagonist accepts all kinds of strange tests, and then fights monsters to advance step by step. The part of Mary Sue obviously lies in the love between the heroine and the instructor. First of all, the setting of the instructor is in line with Mary Su's taste. It is necessary to be handsome and handsome, and he is still the first in age, with a noble, cold, domineering and domineering president. The part about falling in love after that is also rather peculiar. It is not clear how the male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist. Perhaps in the eyes of female audiences, these are all unimportant, right? Beautiful, kind-hearted, and motivated enough? Anyway, girls can always find a suitable reason for their favor. This is rare in American movies. Generally, there are traces of the occurrence of love. Either there is an experience of living and dying together, or there is a dialogue that pierces the heart. In short, there are always two souls, you come and I come and go The process, and finally the sublimation of feelings, and found that each other is their only one. But there is nothing in this movie, which is in line with the understanding of love by little girls who have no experience.
Finally, and most importantly, there is absolutely no connotation worth exploring. Why set up 5 factions, whether this setting is fundamentally flawed, why the villain wants to seize power, and what it means for the subversion of the system in the end, in this film, it is basically the point. All the settings are just to set up a stage for the heroine to destroy the sky and the earth, and have no value other than that. This is a typical popcorn movie, leaving nothing behind except the thrill of satisfying the fantasy of a little girl.

    Anticlimactic! ! The ending is weak, maybe it's insufficient funds. But, Dandan, the zipline from Teletubbies is really beautiful! ! ! Because the location is Chicago plus one star. The female protagonist, Xiao Baozi, is very inviting, and the male protagonist is Mr. Pamuk who collapsed on the stage of Downton Abbey! Wow ha ha ha. .

    Divided into genres by human character, this setting is simply cool! If it weren't for the fact that after it was discovered that the dissidents began to be hunted down, the rhythm suddenly became sloppy, and the previous compact and meticulous style became a mess, I really would have given a five-star rating. (Did I find that the budget was not enough when I filmed that part?) Miss Woodley really has the potential of a second cousin, but it is different from JL's acting style. (She's getting more and more pleasing to the eye)
