has such a script, which has been in Hollywood for 22 years and no one dared to pick it up; with such a director, he is still pioneering in the new film shooting field. When this old story met this innovative director, a brand-new movie finally came out after many efforts.
directed by Ang Lee and starring Will Smith’s "Gemini Killer", since its release in China on October 18, has not only attracted many audiences into the theater, but also received numerous mixed reviews. Why, maybe only after personal experience can you have your own answer.
A piece of advice, for the young self
The hero of "Gemini Killer" is a current killer and retired soldier named Henry. The film opens with a thrilling action scene. Henry, who has successfully completed the task, is deciding to retire. He was hunted and killed and had to flee with a newly recruited female agent who was in charge of monitoring him. And the one who chased him was a young version of himself. Although the conflict point of the
story involves the moral ethics and identity recognition between the cloned human and the original human, it is not limited to this. As Xiao Ni who did not know that he was a clone and grew up as an orphan, he suffered from the pain and confusion after being informed of his identity, and when faced with the tragedy that contributed to his own tragedy but he has been caring and educating his villain as a "father" Struggle and anger, the conflict between his character and his life experience was vividly interpreted by Will Smith.
issues such as cloning and mass-produced robots are already common in movies, but like "Gemini Killer", it uses motion capture and computer special effects to cooperate with the actor's interpretation, putting a living person directly in front of the audience, and even fighting disputes. Fighting with fierce action is rare. When faced with a younger twenty-something, accepting the task, and wholeheartedly wanting to kill the young version of himself, what the killer Henry expects is to be able to change his established destiny accompanied by blood killing. Perhaps just like Xiao Ni has always been proud that he is the strongest and most powerful killer, the seemingly insignificant family and affection that many people abandoned in order to pursue higher goals when they were young are condemned and retired. Henry seemed to be invaluable. As he said at the end of the film, if my life can be repeated once, but I will not change, then I am really sorry for this opportunity.
It is true that life cannot be repeated, but it is possible in the movie. Turning things that cannot become reality into reality through artistic display techniques and showing them to the world, on its own, also makes viewers feel more touched.
is a kind of exploration that has been initiated by the brave. Most of the criticisms of
for this film focused on the lack of drama in the story. Objectively speaking, as a story that has been created in the last century, the script adapted by David Benioff and others on this basis is indeed slightly plain. With the excellent interpretation of the actors and the assistance of advanced technology, the creation The team is fully capable of using precise science fiction techniques to tell a more fascinating story. Regardless of whether it is a funding problem or a limitation in the American film creation process, even with more background and environmental factors, the film's overly robust story has become an established reality that has been criticized.
However, Director Ang Lee added a lot of content that is contrary to the decent omnipotent routine common in personal hero blockbusters within the scope allowed by the old script content of the last century, which can be called a novel action drama. Among them, what can be represented is the classic motorcycle chase. Under the display of innovative shooting techniques, Henry and the young killer started chasing and shooting fights in the narrow alleys. The white pigeons raised up in the square and the vehicles that had to suffer a car accident seemed both artistic and full of reality. The first match between the two ended with Henry being beaten up and arrested. The second battle of wits in the Skull Cavern in Budapest, Hungary showed Nicolas's extraordinary skill and Henry's resourcefulness, and each has its own merits. As the fleeing companion, Henry’s former comrade-in-arms, said, it’s rare to be beaten like this on two different continents. In film and television works focusing on action fighting, it is used to portray the heroic image of characters. There are many examples of choosing to make it invincible, and the evenly matched, tit-for-tat confrontation in this film is really wonderful. This shows that even humans with exactly the same genes have completely different views of their physical fitness and personality abilities with different ages and experiences, and then show that although humans are clones, their essence is also the theme of humans.
the movie touches the warIn many aspects, such as self-exile and regret, Director Ang Lee did not give up the exploration of human nature because of the old story. If the 3D, 4K, 120 frames of "Gemini Killer" and the "virtual real person" of the digital movie are Li Ang's innovations at the technical level, then it is his question whether the clones can perceive human emotions and whether they possess humanity. Inquiry on the spiritual level. And the answer to this question is displayed in front of the world "truthly" through the performance of the film, which is unavoidable and alert to the world.
