"Copy of Life"
Following "Stars", Apple releases another brain-burning science fiction drama "Copy of Life".
I don’t know if Apple has fallen in love with parallel universe scripts recently. There are two movies in a row. The last one, "Stars", was pretty good. It was brain-burning enough, the logic was self-consistent, and the pitfalls were filled in very well. This time, "Copy of Life" "Just look at the title and poster and you will know that it is also about a parallel universe.
First of all, the lineup is quite good, starring Joel Edgerton of " Warriors " and screen goddess Jennifer Connelly. The plot of
revolves around Jason Dessen (played by Joel Edgerton), a professor in the A world. He originally had a happy family, but one night he was suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious force on the streets of Chicago and entered a completely different version of his life.
In this parallel universe, also known as world b, he discovered that he was not married to his beloved wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly), and his son never existed, and his identity jumped from an ordinary professor Become a highly respected scientific research genius.
Faced with this sudden change, Jason was eager to return to the A world, but every time he tried, he seemed to fall into a deeper dilemma.
later discovered that the person who kidnapped him was actually himself, Jason in world B, and Jason in world B mainly wanted to make up for the regret of not being with Daniela.
The script is adapted from a novel, but the look and feel is really similar to "Stars", except that it is like a short version of "Stars" for parents. The male protagonist's main dilemma is whether to choose marriage or career.
There is a catch in the process of watching the drama. Since the professor version of Jason is very eager for fame and fortune, wouldn't it be better in the b world? Why do he always want to go back? And since the scientist version of Jason can be intimate with Daniela in world B, why would he go to all the trouble to come to world A to find Daniela?
So it’s actually a bit difficult to take in, just like Jason’s reaction to his friend’s comments when he was pissing him off...
There are a lot of pitfalls buried in the two episodes. I don’t know if they can be filled in later, or if there will be more complicated ones. content.
also has the plot progress that is too slow, and the foreshadowing in the first two episodes is too long, resulting in a slightly draggy pace. In addition, although the concept of parallel universe is attractive, this drama is not as hard-core as "Stars". Instead, it talks about love and life.
However, there is an advantage. Watching this drama does not require you to be as nervous as watching "Stars". It is more life-like and can easily keep up with the rhythm. It is not bad as a dinner drama.
