Speaking of Hollywood technical directors, Ang Lee is definitely a representative of the cutting edge. "Gemini Killer" created a precedent for a 120-frame 3D movie. You must know that even the upcoming "Avatar 2" only uses 60 frames. The box office of the film exceeded 100 million in just one day. The scores of Maoyan 8.0 and Douban 7.1 also reflect the film’s reputation.
A good movie is naturally inseparable from three elements: director, starring, and screenwriter. "Gemini Killer" tells the story of an elderly top agent being chased by his own clone, which is very interesting in itself. The Oscar best director Ang Lee directed, coupled with Will Smith's powerful acting skills. This blockbuster has already won people's attention before it is released.
In the movie, the action scenes of the two Smith Street Hurricane motorcycles, although only 4 minutes, but with the blessing of advanced technology, let the audience who have long been numb to the action scene exclaim again. The original 120-frame 3D visual impact brings a huge shock and realism. Whether it's the details of the characters to the hair, the smooth and coherent martial arts movements, or the sparks of the gunfight. These elements seemed to be immersive, and the audience couldn't help exclaiming. Presumably this is one of the reasons Li Ang is committed to pursuing advanced shooting technology.
Of course, the highlight of "Gemini Killer" is not just the leading of shooting technology. Returning to the story itself, we can also see Li Ang's deep thinking about human nature. The topic of human cloning is not new, but Ang Lee expresses his criticism of human cloning's ethics through the cruel fighting of the two protagonists. Henry, the former top killer, faced the pursuit of himself when he was young, even if he wandered on the edge of death many times, he still hoped to pass on his life's unique knowledge to his young self. This expression of father-son emotions shows Li Ang's kindness towards human nature itself.
On the other hand, the young clone killer suddenly finds that the same person is standing in front of him, and he will doubt and shake his identity. "Who am I?" This philosophical classic topic will naturally be raised. On the one hand, there is the relationship between father and son who regards him as his own, and on the other is the adoptive father who trains himself to be a killer. Even clones can cause confusion. In the end, the adoptive father's plan fell through. Even though countless killers could be cloned, they could not defeat human nature itself. Director Ang Lee's discussion of the relationship between father and son in
is also impressive. Through the emotional entanglement of the twin killers in the movie, we can see that the father-son relationship is not a simple nurturing relationship, but a relationship of mutual growth and teacher and friend. Maybe you will be disturbed by the outside world in the process, but you can only really determine your own growth path, and only yourself can be independent of everything.
After the old Henry knew all the truth, he chose to forgive the other party. He hoped to convey his experience to the other party so that his son would avoid detours. On the other hand, as a cloned killer, he finally chose his own path, doing things according to his own ideas, exploring this unknown world with his own skills, and not following the set routines.
This is not the epitome of contemporary family education. When we are young, our parents will always instill their ideas. From school to life, from marriage to work, there will always be invisible hands that will restrain our desire to fly high. But the fact is that we still make mistakes, impulsive, and confused. Even if the existing experience is in front of us, we will not be moved. Because this is the price of youth, only those who have experienced these will truly grow. A person's life is a kind of experience, and only the more sufferings he has experienced, and facing the same situation, can they be solved maturely and steadily.
has always believed that there are things to experience at every stage of life. Presumably this is also an attitude towards life that Ang Lee wants to express. Therefore, the ending of the story, the clone man chose to follow his own ideas to complete the road of life.
In short, this "Gemini Killer" is far from a simple action movie. If you want to pursue sensory stimulation, the advanced shooting technology can give you a visual feast. If you want an analysis of human nature, you can also find it in this film. In any case, this film is a good choice for a post-National Day movie. From "The Fantastic Drifting of the Youth Pie" to "Billy Lynn", to the current "Gemini Killer", Ang Lee will always bring us a different feeling along the way. Let us look forward to the next masterpiece of the famous director!
