Many people say "Gemini Killer" Unlike Li Ang's work. So what is it like, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Brokeback Mountain" or "Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie"? The works of Ang Lee that everyone likes have never reflected only one aspect of Ang Lee. In my opinion, "Gemini Killer" is the one closest to Li Ang's current state of mind.
This is a story about a killer who wants to retire. Henry, played by Will Smith, said in the film that he is 50 years old, but whenever he talks about this, there is always a companion to remind him: In fact, you are 51 years old this year. The anxiety about age may be common to every adult, including Li Ang, who is 65 years old this year. Doesn't this 120-frame innovation come from his sense of mission that has become more urgent because of his age? After filming "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" with 120 frames 3 years ago, he thought it would lead to a revolution in the number of frames in the film, but the result did not. As a last resort, he made a second special effect with more advanced technology. 120 frames of film. "I know that there is a beautiful new world waiting for us." Ang Lee felt that he had seen it, so he hoped that more people would see it. He can't wait to let the film technology slowly improve, because he feels he doesn't have much time.
This is a technical topic, let's return to the plot itself. Although Ang Lee admitted that he had to sacrifice the complexity of the plot of "Gemini Killer" for technology. However, there are still many people who stubbornly believe that technology is not an excuse, and that every film that claims to be excellent must be "beatable" enough in plot. So is "Gemini Killer" "can play"? I think the answer is still yes. It is true that the sci-fi idea of the film comes from the distant 1990s-considering that the world’s first cloned sheep was born in 1996, the inspiration for the clones of "Gemini Killer" should have been quite fashionable at the time, but unfortunately it finally became The film is indeed outdated today. In addition, in the eyes of many people who are accustomed to watching large-scale spy movies, "Gemini Killer" is far less gorgeous than the "007", "Mission Impossible" and "Bourne Shadows" series. However, under the seemingly unremarkable appearance, "Gemini Killer" eloquently tells a man who, halfway through his life, had to deal with him for the first half of his life because his clone came to chase him. Made a review and reflection. This is the core of the story. This core is 100% Ang Lee, who is still the most concerned about the inner world of mankind since "The Wedding Banquet" and "Diet Men and Women". Regardless of whether the story originated from "clone chasing" or "son suddenly ran away from home" or "returning to his hometown to participate in a classmate meeting and suddenly found himself the most unsuccessful", this kind of core remains unchanged. If you see this, you can rest assured that the Li Ang you like is still there, and he didn't wake up one day and suddenly become a strange tech freak.
understands this premise, and you will understand why this agent named Henry is different from his peers such as James Bond and Ethan Hunter. He lacked the enthusiasm of peacocks from the beginning. And with a kind of laziness of the setting sun. "When did you want to retire?" "Starting from the recent discovery that I don't want to look in the mirror very much." "What are you going to go fishing for?" "Quiet and peaceful, well, maybe there is a little blue mackerel." Expired Three-year biscuits? It's okay, you can still eat. Many years of superiors betrayed themselves out of self-protection? It's okay, can understand or forgive. He has only reached the age of 51 in his life, but he already feels too tired, and even if he rests, he can't seem to change much. The arrival of the 23-year-old clone of
changed everything. This person is so young, because he doesn't know anything, he moves forward, exactly like himself. Although the other party desperately wanted to kill him, he didn't know why he instinctively wanted to save him. When the clone finally recognized his past of recognizing the thief as his father and wanted to cut his enemies, he stopped him: "You only need to pull the trigger and your heart will be incomplete from now on. Don't do this, let go.. "Turning around, he did it himself. When you were old,
went back to the past and saw your young self. How do you want him to live in this life? This is the story Ang Lee wants to tell us with "Gemini Killer." It’s just that his method is very clever, and it doesn’t even require time travel. To the above questions, Li Ang’s own answer is very clear. At the end of the story, the 51-year-old asked what he would do after the 23-year-old, and the 23-year-old was still considering becoming a doctor. Still a lawyer, 51-year-old said: "Go to be a father, be a husband, do everything that you could not have taken care of because of this job..."
That's right, when filming "Gemini Killer", Li Ang used it technically The greatest skill. But, in the plot, he does not. Even, he is more revealing and candid than any previous movie. And for such a sincere movie, I have never had enough resistance.
