"Gemini Killer" is probably the most controversial one of the several movies currently being screened. After watching the movie, many netizens have commented that "Uncle An missed this time" "An Lee + Shi Huang = Failed?" It seems that Ang Lee's work this time can't get on the stage at all. But in fact, it cannot be ruled out that some people really feel a little disappointed, but there are also a large number of people who just follow the trend.
Before watching the movie, just glance at the introduction and add the label "Science Fiction". You may think this is a story that travels through time and space-the young Will Smith and the old Will Smith meet in the same time and space , The young want to kill the old. But after reading it, I found out that the original story is unique.
Will Smith played two roles. The older version of Henry appeared first. He was a senior agent killer working for the country, but due to psychological reasons, he decided to retire. However, what he wanted to retire was the sunset in the forest hut, but he wanted him to be "as good as dead", so he sent a "him" who was more than twenty years younger than Henry to hunt him down. The most outstanding part of the
film should be the play. The scenes such as the rapid pursuit of motorcycles and the passionate melee in the basement make people nervous and heart-wrenching. Coupled with the high frame rate production that the whole network is praised, the realistic viewing angle of drowning, and the fragments of the wine bottle under heavy firepower are splashing, making people feel like they are on the scene, and the impression is excellent.
But apart from these superficial skills that can be seen at a glance, the movie also has a very deep connotation. "The deceased are like their husbands, never give up day and night." After the young time has passed, they will never come back, but everyone comes to this world for the first time. Great or small regret. When you stand in front of yourself when you are young, when everything seems to be possible again, what kind of advice do you want to give him?
Life is only a few decades long, and no ruler can tell us "what we should live". But Henry believes that a person who is forced to become a ruthless, xenophobic and solitary killer has the right to know his own life experience. His guidance to the younger self (junior) in the movie is like a father to his child, teaching him painstakingly not to take a crooked road, because he has already walked that road again and it is full of thorns. In the movie
, the villain Weries, under the banner of working for the welfare of the world, wants to copy a cold-blooded army, and also called it "to keep the people safe." But a person without temperature and cruel numbness can no longer be called a human. This reminds me of the Nazi officer father of Bruno in the World War II movie "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" and his evaluation of the Jews: "You see, those people...they are not really people..." In the face of frenzied ambition, Humanity is not worth mentioning.
The junior who listened to Henry’s words at a critical moment was lucky. He stepped out of the imprisonment and will have his own life in the future, studying on a university campus, hanging out with girls, chatting and joking with his year-old friends... ...But the man who died in the flames in armor didn't even have a name. When his mask was taken off, I heard an exclamation in the theater. In fact, this was not an unexpected reversal, but the situation itself was sighing.
What qualifications does one person have to decide another person's life? In the film, this topic is not explicitly added to the lines, but it is impossible to think about it. Those in-depth discussions and ingenious designs blended every word Ang Lee wanted to say into the cool film technology. He didn't need to shout loudly, because his ideas hit the soul.
When almost all eyes are on his superb film and painting technique, Ang Lee still has not forgotten the humanistic discussion in his film, which has basically become a habit. The relationship between father and son, the difference between people, the attitude of facing regret... This looks like a sci-fi movie, but in the final analysis it is still thinking about people.
Li Ang is 64 years old this year. He has been in the film for more than 30 years. From the beginning of the talented wizard to the later he has been widely criticized. He has been on the road and insisted on his original heart. He said he loves movies too much. I think this kind of love is the pursuit of artistic creation as a filmmaker. He doesn’t care about the outside world.How to evaluate his works, he knows what he is for, he knows how he should express it, he is not a person who can stop because of doubts, looking long-term, time will give us the answer. Is this movie
a full score movie? Of course not, but it is definitely not a “failed” or “missing” work posted on the Internet. In terms of the plot, "Gemini Killer" is not perfect, and some logic is difficult to understand, but you only know the deep meaning that Ang Lee wants to convey through the movie when you walk into the movie theater and watch the movie. When many things reach a certain level, only insiders can understand it, especially in film art. But for ordinary people, it is also "the joy of making every inch of it."
