The gray dust falls slowly like a continuous drizzle and accumulates on the bookshelf bit by bit. The books, models and shelves all accumulate a thick layer of dust. The bright sunlight penetrates down, making the flying dust present the graceful and beautiful like snowflakes. But with the lens going on, the desolate and decadent The gloomy and lonely world is slowly unfolded in the audience's view.
"At that time, my father was a farmer, just like everyone else at that time." An old woman with white hair said in an interview, "of course, he was not a farmer from the beginning."
Cooper used to be a pilot. During the flight, he encountered an accident and lost control of the aircraft. However, he insisted on trying to save the situation. As a result, the commander took over the control of the aircraft through the computer; After that, the aircraft crashed. He lost his title and could not fly any more. Then he became a farmer.
"Dad?"
That experience became Cooper's nightmare, lingering, always struggling in the dead of night, but did not want to wake up his little daughter again.
After waking up in a sweat, Cooper raised his eyes to his daughter, then closed them tightly to hide his vulnerability. "Sorry, Murphy, go back to sleep, baby."
"I think you're a ghost." Murphy stood at the door of his father's room, stubbornly refusing to leave.
"No Cooper turned and faced the ceiling, leaving only one face to his daughter. Then he put his hand on his forehead to hide his eyes and expression, and said in a hoarse voice, "there are no ghosts in the world, baby."
Murphy is like a small adult general hands in the chest, "grandfather said you can find the ghost!"
Cooper turned his head, the light in his eyes loomed in the dark, and then the corner of his mouth rose. "Maybe that's because grandfather is about to become a ghost." He joked, laughed at himself, turned his head back, and said perfunctorily, "go to bed now."
But Murphy didn't know to give up. "Did you dream about that crash again?"
"..." Cooper didn't answer. He was silent for a long time. He said slowly, "move your little ass to the bed, Murphy." There is a deep fatigue in the voice, even if the corners of the mouth rise, it can't make the smile light again.
This time, Murphy finally felt her father's heaviness. She turned and left.
Cooper could not go to sleep any more. He sat up again and sat on the edge of the bed for a long time. In the dim light of dawn, his eyes drifted slightly, and the focus and focus seemed to be collapsing. But only for a moment, he dropped his eyes and covered all his emotions. Then he stood up and came to the window, Staring at the boundless green corn field outside, the deep eyes fell into their emotions again.
"The wheat is dead." The white voice of the interview sounded again, telling the background of the whole story, "Fusarium wilt is coming, we can only burn it all. But we also have corn, big corn. But the most common is sandstorm. "
"I can't describe it. It's blowing all the time, and the sand will never stop." Like a documentary, another elderly woman said in an interview.
Then there was another older woman, "we sometimes carry a cloth to cover our mouth and nose so that we don't inhale too much dust."
"When setting the dining table, the plates should be put upside down, and the cups and dishes should be put upside down." This time it's an old man.
The opening of the film presents the current situation of the whole world in the form of a documentary. The accumulated dust, the flying sand, the overwhelming sandstorm... Even the sunshine reveals a kind of gray depression, dry and sultry, depression and chaos. All of them are full of disturbing gloom, and people can't help but want to vent something, Even if it's just two shouts.
This kind of opening is obviously not what the audience expected. The opening of "Inception" is much more interesting. Does it mean that the film is going to follow the route of "Batman: the mystery of chivalrous shadow"? But even if it is the mystery of chivalrous shadow, the texture of the opening picture seems to be better. However, Christopher Nolan's signature is that he is always good at presenting the texture of the story through his own camera language, which also makes the audience more patient and willing to calm down and wait.
Not to mention the performance of Langley.
Many of the audience didn't respond. Who was the man with beard, disorderly hair and decadent life? Until dawn, the sun was shining through the window in the hall of the room. When the middle-aged man appeared again, he realized that it was lanli!
After the conscious reaction, the second wave of accidents hit again: lanli played the father, and he was the father of two children!
Is this really good?
Many of the reporters sitting in the screening hall have a kind of ominous premonition: they can finally understand the comments of the previous internal audition - not good comments or bad comments, but a kind of vague comments. The quality of the film itself seems to have withstood the test, but the feedback from the market is in a state that cannot be judged, Just from the beginning of the film, these people in the industry can feel that aura.
Make complaints about her model and books falling off the shelf again, while her son is Tucao's sister about the "ghost" practical joke. This is the first time the movie begins in less than three minutes, and the second time mentions the ghost.
As a pilot, Cooper believes in science. Naturally, he doesn't believe in ghosts. He doesn't want to get involved in the topic too much. However, with the warning from his father-in-law's eyes, he patiently explained the so-called "scientific verification" to his daughter. If Murphy really believes in ghosts, she should start collecting data to prove her claim.
In just two scenes, Cooper's "absent-minded" can be vaguely felt. Undoubtedly, he has a deep bond with his family. However, he seems to be evading those emotions and has never been able to fully participate in them. The details revealed in his lines and performances, one shot and one action, gradually stabilize the tone of the whole story.
Lan Li is worthy of Lan Li!
Even in the commercial movies, Langley can still show a strong emotional force in his actions, and then guide the audience into the emotion of the story. This ability and strength is second to none in Hollywood; When Langley and Christopher Nolan meet, Langley can easily make up for Nolan's emotional weakness and complete the missing part of the role. At least from the beginning, the cooperation between Langley and Nolan can see the effect.
"Star Trek" is obviously not the summer sci-fi movie that the audience expected. It is more like small cost sci-fi independent works such as "Moon", "beast" or "doomsday peril". It takes emotion as the keynote, presents the self entanglement of human beings in the doomsday, and shows a trace of warmth by describing despair.
In the beginning, the film spent a lot of time to show Cooper's life, and more on Cooper's relationship with a pair of children, especially his daughter Murphy.
He patiently explained the reason why his daughter's name was Murphy's law; He took Tom and Murphy to chase the UAV of the Indian air force, trying to solve the cause of the dust storm; He told Murphy how to use Morse code to communicate; He argued with school teachers and leaders for his son's ability to enter university instead of becoming a farmer in the future; He accidentally mentioned that his wife died of malignant tumor
and so on.
It's a really weird look.
If this is an independent art film, the audience will be very happy to calm down and enjoy it carefully. Anyway, it's not the first time for them to watch lanli's works of art, is it?
But now the problem is that the audience is looking forward to a popcorn commercial blockbuster, or a brain burning science fiction blockbuster, only to see the trivial family. The impatience caused by the gap between the expected value and the expected value is wearing away the audience's patience bit by bit——
At least for most of the audience.
The only interesting part is that the movie "directly" changed history. The Tucao Apollo plan is a hypothesis. The moon landing program is a show, which make complaints about a political activity in the Soviet Union. When the teacher in the film was telling the "facts" seriously, the audience all gave out light laughter.
Is this Nolan's personal evil taste?
But that's all.
At this time, the reason why the audience still maintain their last bit of patience is that they trust Nolan and Langley. Whether Nolan's "Batman" series and "Inception" or Langley's "tomorrow's edge" and "gravity", these works are not commercial blockbusters in the traditional sense, However, it can still bring incomparable viewing experience to the audience in different ways, which makes everyone willing to continue to watch patiently.
And then, at last, there was the first turning point in the film.
Cooper and Murphy witnessed the chaos of the farm, the failure of compass and compass; And then they witnessed the chaos in the room - books and models scattered irregularly, which was obviously not Murphy's deliberate mischief.
"I counted the gaps on the shelf. What if the ghost wants to communicate with us? I'm trying Morse code now. " Murphy's answer still failed to attract Cooper's attention. He tried to find out the reasons behind this series of abnormal phenomena in a more scientific way.
An unprecedented sandstorm has hit, and the whole world is in darkness. The visibility is even less than five yards.
At last, the audience in the projection Hall of the Chinese Theater cheered up: the first turning point they were waiting for had arrived!
Then, Cooper and Murphy saw that the room was like a sandstorm Wonderland, with countless lights and shadows intertwined to create a labyrinth!
