Let's take a look at the film reviews!

film review of arrival-

the film arrival adapted from this novel has been released in China, and what prompted me to see this film is purely curiosity? As far as my impression of this story is concerned, it is not suitable for adaptation into a movie, so it is conceivable that adaptation is very difficult. I really want to know what form it will eventually show on the screen. In order to evaluate the film more objectively, I invited my mother who had never seen the original "The Story of Your Life", expecting to give a more pertinent and objective evaluation by combining our opinions after watching the film.

the final evaluation is mentioned in the short comment, four stars. If I give a score, I tend to be 8..

aliens suddenly landed on the earth, and twelve UFOs landed irregularly in twelve regions of the earth. The countries where they landed sent scientists to communicate with them, hoping to find out the purpose of their arrival. As the leading linguist in China, the heroine, together with another physicist, was sent to a human camp near UFOs and entered UFOs and alien guests many times? Seven feet monster? Communicate and decipher their language. There used to be a scientific guess that language determines the way of thinking? And the heroine is learning and deciphering? Seven feet monster? In the process of writing, they also learned their nonlinear spatio-temporal thinking. To put it simply, the heroine unconsciously has the ability of aliens to predict the future, while she is in a daze in the chaotic memento mori that takes place in the future, and she doesn't realize that she has this ability to predict the future. At the same time, because human language is as chaotic as human civilization, the heroine comes to the conclusion that what is the purpose of aliens coming to earth? Providing weapons? But she wasn't sure what they called? Weapons (or tools)? Whether it is a tool for killing each other in human understanding. But other countries also deciphered it almost at the same time? Seven feet monster? Language and got this message, and several countries sounded the alarm and decided to coerce. Seven feet monster? Leave the earth, or you will be the first to open the attack.

The war is imminent. In order to avoid all this, the heroine enters a UFO alone. Seven feet monster? Communication. In this exchange, she learned? Seven feet monster? Come to earth for? Providing weapons? 、? Help mankind? Because of them? Will you need human help in three thousand years? . The heroine asked? How do you know about future weapons? What is it? Suddenly realized? Weapons? What does it actually mean? Seven feet monster? Gifts for humans: theirs? Language and writing? . Learn this? Language and writing? Then you can learn their way of thinking and gain the ability to predict the future?

In the end, the heroine prevented the coming war through her foreseeable future, and learned that the little girl who appeared repeatedly in her memory was her future daughter. The heroine has predicted that her husband is the physicist who entered the UFO with her to communicate with aliens. They will get married, have a daughter, and then divorce? The heroine grew up with her daughter, who will die in an accident. The heroine foresaw the future and all the sadness, but chose to let nature take its course and didn't stop it.

　? They are unstoppable. ? As she once said to her little daughter in the future, Just like you. You are unstoppable. ?

At the end of the story, she seems to have reached the end and just stood at the beginning.

On the whole, the film has shown the idea of the original work. Through this way of alien arrival, through this kind of language without time constraints? Because the form is wonderful and mysterious, even a not so new idea is still touching and shocking.

I'm not a professional film critic. I just feel that the film adaptation is similar to another film, Memento. Time and space are reversed, life and death are intertwined, and the present and future come to mind like fragments. From the very beginning, the film reveals the death of the heroine's daughter in the future, and then everything goes back to the starting point, and the story has just begun. (I'm sure this part is in the same order as the original work.)

In the second half of the film adaptation, some people who have seen this kind of time-space works are familiar with it? Routine? I think it's also for the audience who can't understand the heroine's ability to further understand. Such a choice seems to be useless. The film will be original? Story? It is fully displayed in front of the audience, but it also inevitably weakens the original? Scientific? The theory used by the heroine in deciphering these languages, how did she gain the ability to predict the future by deciphering these languages? These are all weakened or omitted in the film. Of course, it may be that only words can show it, and movies can't. So at first, I was curious about how the film would be adapted, and it was for this reason.

in addition, it is worth mentioning that there are some enhancements in the adaptation process? China's threat theory? The image of China shown in the film is also somewhat distorted and ignorant. I feel that it is specially adapted to create conflicts in the plot or for some other ethnic reasons, which inevitably makes me feel uncomfortable as a China native during the movie viewing.

finally, I would like to praise the soundtrack in the film, especially On The Nature Of Daylight at the end of the film, which is consistent with the courage to embrace the known future and accept all joys and sorrows in the idea of this story.

have we never foreseen death? However, we still move forward bravely. The film "arrival" film review ii

by Dennis? Directed by Villeneuve, Amy? Adams and Jeremy? The sci-fi movie "Coming" starring Reina was released in China today (January 2th).

arrival is based on the story of your life by Chinese science fiction writer Jiang Fengnan. As one of the sci-fi movies with the highest attention in the world in 216, I was attracted by the extraordinary imagination and innovation of the film. The original work was very abstract and difficult to express visually. The film was very distinctive in terms of vision and atmosphere, with a sense of fatalism of Greek tragedy. The name of the original novel "The Story of Your Life" is viewed from a personal point of view, while "Coming" has a spatial concept in it, which is a huge change, and this spatial concept has brought a sense of depth to the film.

the story told in this movie is very simple? The heroine learned the language that aliens are not controlled by the time dimension, so when communicating and thinking in this language, her self-awareness can transcend the time dimension, so that she can perceive all her existing and future memories.

from the beginning, the film shows the relationship with those? Fighting aliens? The unique temperament of science fiction films is different, and there is no love for Hollywood blockbusters. Three minutes is wonderful? Instead, it is exactly like the opening of a literary film, showing Amy through slow lens movement, sad soundtrack, flashback of fragments and emotional narration. As a mother, the heroine played by Adams watched her daughter's birth and growth, and finally watched her life tragedy of terminal illness and death. A very beautiful panoramic long lens was used in the film? The bright sunshine shines on the wilderness of Montana, and the morning mist rushes in the wilderness like a river. The mysterious shell spacecraft stands there quietly. This kind of natural beauty combined with the mysterious alien spacecraft brings the audience visual enjoyment and pleasure, which is no less than the hot scenes in many science fiction movies.

The image of an alien conforms to the description in the novel, and looks like a bucket supported by seven crossed limbs. It is symmetrical in the center, and any limb can be used as an arm or a leg. ? ; ? Its limbs have no obvious joints, and anatomists guess they are made of vertebrae. ? ; ? Every side has eyes, and every direction can be called? Ahead? . ? Humans call it? Seven-limb bucket? Their images surpass the imagination of many movies about alien creatures, such as the standing octopus with seven claws. Unlike humans, they don't have a deep throat system. Although it can also make sounds, in the seven-limb barrel system, words are more effective, direct and quick? Language? . Alien? Octopus? Image, such as China ink painting and dragon pattern, and Amy? Adams and others engage with aliens from a linguistic point of view? Close encounters of the third kind? The process has also been created to be very fresh, real, vivid and delicate, full of knowledge and interest, and at the same time bring the audience a strong sense of originality and immersion.

in fact, there is only one timeline from beginning to end: the woman has not had children yet; After learning the alien language, I know that I will have a daughter, that I will be with the man, that the man will leave, and that my daughter will die; After the alien left, the woman stayed with the man and gave birth to a daughter. Then the woman told the man that her daughter would die, so the man could not bear the fact and chose to leave. Then the woman raised her daughter until she got sick and died. All the fragments that the midway woman seems to cross are actually in her mind, and there is no conflict with the current forward timeline, and she can't cross to any point at will.

The film adopts this unique narrative structure, and the whole film can be regarded as a letter from Louise to her daughter Hannah, but this letter tells the results first and then investigates the causes, which is also the unique story structure of the film. The screenwriter deliberately told the story at the beginning of the film with great information and quick editing? The story of your life? The result, after the positive film is the cause, the purpose is to complete? Process? . In the play, the boundary between cause and process is deliberately blurred, and the broken linear time is the writer's trick. Until the last moment, the audience realized that the beginning and the end formed a ring (Hannah's name is also a ring), in which the buried baggage and causality are arranged at the precise plot point.

Although the investment of this film is only $4 million, the description of the language system and the shell spaceship is also fascinating, and the ghostly music is even more fueling, even like a variation of the seven-limb barrel language. When I first boarded the spaceship, the gravity scene also broke the composition of the horizon, and even used Dolly Zoom's zoom method to express the deep perspective and glare of the internal space. The whole art setting and atmosphere are excellent, and the nonlinear characters in the novel are perfectly represented by linear images.

There are also many eggs about China in the film, and even China plays a vital role. The places where the alien spacecraft landed include Shanghai, China. China also launched the Ningbo Fleet in the East China Sea, and even owned an aircraft carrier. The Oriental Pearl in the distance also stole the show, and the business general of China promoted the development of the plot, which had an important influence on the story.

The director uses a quiet aesthetic feeling and realistic texture to create the charm of the film. The unique artistic beauty displayed through photography, editing and rhythm control is memorable. The biggest shock of the film to the audience comes from the re-examination of these emotional dramas after learning the truth, and the feelings and thoughts about the outlook on life, values and world outlook that arise from the heart. Director Dennis? Villeneuve is equivalent to doing it once through this film? How to burn your brain correctly? That is, when the truth is revealed at the end, all the previous plots will be rearranged and combined in the audience's mind, presenting a brand-new cognition completely different from the previous viewing experience, so that the audience can get it? Understand the beauty of the film through thinking? The audience will still be filled with emotion, shock and aftertaste after the film is over. The heroine Amy? Adams' acting skills are particularly commendable, which not only convincingly shapes the professional image of a linguist, but also interprets the image of his mother with extra sensibility and affection. At the same time, her moving performance in role-building and emotional drama also gave the film a strong emotional color and moving charm. Film Review III of Advent

Hollywood movies with the theme of alien invasion of the earth have entered the grave, and the appearance of Advent is undoubtedly a return to the essence of science fiction movies. For the works that describe the collision and conflict between the earth civilization and the extraterrestrial civilization, they no longer have the characteristics of being spoiled by the audience. Although popcorn movies still occupy a high box office proportion, over time, the visual fatigue formed by standard industrial special effects is enough to make genre films lose a large number of audiences. It's okay to welcome holidays. Once there is no fixed viewing base, I'm afraid it's hard to recover my money in the end.

As a book-revised work, the film is eye-catching in the restoration of the novel. Apart from the lack of a complex world structure in the play, it is remarkable in the characterization and theme expression. As far as the title is concerned, "arrival" does not have an easy-to-understand title like an ordinary sci-fi blockbuster, but on the surface it refers to the visit of extraterrestrial civilization to the earth? Contact of the first kind? In fact, it is the future arrival and whether human beings are ready to accept and? Obedience? From this point of view alone, movies, like poems and essays, can bring people the power to wash their hearts and thoughts.

genre films have the style of literary films, but literary films have the vision of genre films. In terms of visual effect, whether it is? Eggshell? The external form and internal structure, or the trunk appearance of extraterrestrial life like octopus, can be regarded as the highest embodiment of Hollywood visual industry at present. In narrative, the interlude between the established future and the present life, without connecting chapters, obviously makes the film have the characteristics of high IQ and brain burning. Don't talk about heroism, don't talk about anthropocentrism, just talk about reflection, as the film says: communication is not enough to get you off the list.

director Dennis? Villeneuve is a person who has to be mentioned. Since the scorched earth city, the image style has become more and more personalized. The Old Enemy, Prisoner and Border Killer are all personal pinnacles, and they are superb in examining and torturing the expression of human nature. Although "Advent" doesn't directly refer to the human nature, it cuts into the expression of emotions from the perspective of science fiction. Such an alternative manner can be described as an early adopter and a means to support more survival and development space for science fiction movies, which few people can match.

the future has arrived, and the past is no longer there. It is neither an IP product nor a series of masterpieces with century feelings. There is no way out for new sci-fi movies to be stuck in the old books, not to mention those industrial projects that have been restarted again and again. Generally speaking, the original work is an original work with high gold content, and the director with distinctive style takes over the script, so the capital preservation and reputation can be affirmed in advance. If you want to be in the palace, you need to sharpen your shooting and directing. The branch of "arrival" this time is likely to affect the development of subsequent independent science fiction films, even if it is only fur is better than patriotism.
