Copywriting丨Review of the film
Editor丨Dazhou
The summer schedule of 2024 is a very crowded schedule.
In this summer season, there are comedies such as " Catch a Baby ", fantasy films such as " Under the Stranger ", visual effects blockbusters such as " decrypted ", and " Deadpool". With imported films like "Wolverine ".
Before the summer season started, most viewers predicted that the most popular movies during this period would be produced by movies such as "Catch Me", "Decryption" or "Deadpool and Wolverine".
But, I never expected it!
In this summer season, the movie with the highest reputation is " safely withdraws from from the 21st century".
Why didn’t you think of that?
Because this movie is not very popular from production to subject matter, from director to starring.
The genre column of "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" has three labels, namely comedy, science fiction, and youth. Putting these three elements together can easily make the audience think it is a bad movie.
Furthermore, although the director of this movie is somewhat famous, only a small number of people know him.
His previous film "The Adventures of Li Xianji " scored only 6.4 points. Although the movie "Bad Future" has a good reputation, it is unfortunately not very popular. Only movie fans have a general understanding of it, and most ordinary viewers may not have heard of it.
So, everyone doesn’t know this director.
More importantly, the lead actor in "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" is not very trustworthy by the audience.
This movie stars Zhang Ruoyun, Zhong Chuxi, Song Yang and Wu Xiaoliang.
Among them, Zhang Ruoyun is quite famous, but this is the first time he has played a leading role in a movie, and it can even be said to be his film debut. Although Zhong Chuxi is a movie star, she has not made a movie for a long time.
Therefore, this movie has no advantage at all compared to other summer movies.
But this is a movie without a big director, no big scenes, and lack of big stars, and it has become the movie with the best reputation this summer.
Currently, this movie’s rating on Douban is 7.6.
However, why does such a movie, which was not well received before its release, have such a good reputation?
The reason is very simple, as simple as only two words:
looks good!
The movie "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" does not have so many twists and turns, and it does not pretend to be profound to sell the audience.
This movie has just one word from beginning to end, Dian!
, the word "Bian", can actually be understood as nonsensical.
But this nonsense is not the traditional nonsense in old Hong Kong movies. The nonsense in this movie is a very new kind of nonsense, a kind of nonsense that does not follow any logic.
Watching this movie, you will never know what will happen in the next scene.
Some viewers even described "Evacuation from the 21st Century" as being like a psycho.
As a normal audience, you will never guess what this psychopath will do in the next second, and you will never guess what he will say in the next second.
What you can do is watch his performance quietly and be poked at by him with his funny points.
Finally, I will drive you crazy!
Of course, we can’t talk too much about the plot of this movie yet.
Because the biggest pleasure in watching this movie is the unexpected and inexplicable. Unexpected laughter, inexplicable ignition, crazy, fun and beautiful!
More importantly, the "crazy" temperament of this movie is very consistent with the mental state of young people today.
After watching this movie, many people will fall into self-doubt:
Am I crazy?
Or is the director crazy?
Or, everyone is crazy!
Since he is a psychopath, it would be inappropriate not to do something that a psychopath should do. Then, let me give you a spoiler that you can’t figure out even if you think about it:
Naoren Xiao can save lives!
