Not very new, not very old

I have always been uninterested in disasters and monsters, so I watched it with my friends, and I watched it with relish.

The hotly discussed DV shooting technique is no longer new, and I don't have the feeling of vomiting halfway as some people say, and I don't even have the dizziness and discomfort that I had when watching "Dancer in the Dark". I just think this DV is really strong, the battery is really good, and the guy holding the DV has amazing arm strength.

Monsters are not new anymore. Even people like me who don’t like to watch monster movies know a lot of them. It is estimated that there will be one or two standing on the street one day, and everyone will be very familiar with them and pass a cigarette or something.

The plot, in fact, can't be said to be a plot; the characters are even more imaginary, only a few men and women who are pleasing to the eye, as for the personality, concept, and ideological conflict, no one knows, and probably no one cares. So as a movie, it's always a little weak.

Fortunately, the rhythm is fast, and there are many details. Fortunately, it has a strong sense of reality. Fortunately, it is very suitable for the taste of young people nowadays. Although it is not very fresh, it is not very old. This is much more interesting if you compare it with King Kong, who is a big production, big battle, big cliché and hypocritical.

    The first time I watched a disaster movie from the first perspective, it was quite interesting. The monologue on the plane was really hilarious. Harder was actually very cute and dedicated. He did not forget to record the appearance of the monster at the last moment of death... …It’s fun to watch. (Whether the camera shakes the camera or something, it is completely held up when it can't be eliminated)

    The story is quite mindless, but the impact and sense of substitution are strong. In terms of orientation, values ​​are too much, and if it is changed to unilateral escape, it will be more immersive. Is the protagonist the camera that keeps power on? ? ?

Cloverfield quotes

  • Beth McIntyre: Rob, I didn't want to do this on camera, but um... I just... I just want you to know how happy I am for you. Because I know how hard you've worked for this job, and I know how much it means to you, and I'm really going to miss you.

  • Hud: Hey, Marlena. It's me, Hud, from before.

    Marlena Diamond: [slightly annoyed] Hi.

    Hud: Did you know that Rob and Beth had sex?

    Marlena Diamond: No.

    Hud: Yeah, isn't that crazy? They've been friends forever. I mean, Rob's been in love with her since college.

    Marlena Diamond: Well, maybe it was like a going away present, you know?

    [Marlena walks to bathroom]

    Hud: Yeah! Wait, were we supposed to give presents?
