Westworld Film Review: This Wild Science Fiction

Westworld Film Review: This Wild Science Fiction

My lead: In the 1970s, due to the rapid development of the film industry, Hollywood science fiction movies ushered in a new wave. Westworld skillfully captures all the elements of western films, epic films and chivalrous films, leaving a classic? Humanoid robot? Image. I introduce a film review of Douban, a wild sci-fi westworld. I hope you like it.

Westworld is the first American science fiction film introduced by China. At that time, it was translated into a bloody paradise, which was both shocking and nervous for mainland audiences in the 1980 s. Brenner's robot killer left a deep impression on the audience.

Introduction:

In the distant future, a huge high-tech adult paradise-Deloose will be built, including the robot world, the Roman world and the medieval world in westworld, to provide tourists with killing and sexual satisfaction. However, the background monitoring of this huge mechanical paradise gradually lost control of the robot, tourists were killed by the robot, and all those who wanted to escape were locked.

Western World Douban Film Review in the First Season: This Wild Science Fiction westworld (Text /Xpistos)

HBO's new drama westworld has attracted a lot of attention. Many people think that this drama will become another drama after Game of Thrones, and many people say that they don't understand what this drama wants to say. I just looked puzzled after reading it, and now I gradually have some clues. Generally speaking, this drama gives me the feeling of being a hodgepodge. You can see many shadows of past works in this drama.

First of all, this drama gives me the same feeling as Stephen? Kim's dark tower is very similar. Is this Stephen? Jin's super-long original works are divided into seven parts, which are set in westworld and mixed with some fantasy elements. At the beginning of the first book "Gun Man", Stephen? King described such a western world for us: this desert is a perfect example of all deserts. It is enormous, stretching all the way to the sky, and it is boundless in any direction. The desert is white and dazzling, without water and life, except for the faint mountain fog, which is scattered on the horizon. The ghost grass there makes people dream, have nightmares and die. The occasional tombstone marks indicate the road, because the covered path through the thick alkali layer used to be a road, and buses and Bukas used to take this road. Later, the world rolled forward. The world has been emptied. ? It creates a big background with the wild west as the background, but although the novel overlooks the world, it is still related to the real world. For example, the people in the book will sing the Beatles' Hi Jude: "When he walked into the village, he heard a group of drunks singing loudly at the end of Hi Jude." ? What? Nana? What? What? Hey, Jude, and the world where the gunman lives has some connection with our world. More interestingly, there is a train in the world of the Dark Tower. In the third book of this series, The Wasteland, Roland and Jack take the monorail train named Brein to Topeka.

There are also many such elements in westworld: tourists from the real world take the train and walk into a wonderful American westworld, where they can dream countless heroic dreams they have had before, wearing cowboy boots, cowboy hats and dust-proof cloaks, just like Clint? Eastwood knocked down a group of gangsters who tried to rob a bar with a revolver. Besides, remember the old man in black in the play? He struggled to find one? Maze? The maze was artificially hidden in those artificial people. He once found the pattern of the maze in the scalp of an artificial person. As for why this maze exists, where it is, and why he is obsessed with finding it, it is not clear from the beginning. Just like when I watched The Tower of Darkness, some suspense about The Tower of Darkness lingered in my mind for a long time.

The artificially manipulated world has recently become a writer's favorite, as early as 1973 Michael? Clayton's movie of the same name only mentions the completion of a theme park named Deloose, which is divided into three worlds: the western world, the Roman world and the medieval world, without human manipulation. Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, brain hole writers who control and monitor another world on a large scale dare to do it. The Truman Show, The Hunger Games, Jurassic Park and other films all thought of this, and westworld naturally used this method for reference, so that all tourists' behaviors can be detected by cameras to prevent accidents. It's interesting that the old man in black hanging in the play is from The Truman Show? God? .

The breakthrough of robots and artificial people's autonomous consciousness can also be found in many sci-fi movies, such as Me, Robot, Mechanical Discipline and the prestigious blade runner. For the plots and backgrounds that living humans can't arrange, screenwriters usually use extremely anthropomorphic robots or artificial people to discuss, focusing on moral dilemmas and the exploration of human nature, as well as the definition between people and non-people.

In contrast, westworld seems to focus more on exploring the possibility of autonomous consciousness of robots. At the end of the second episode, Hopkins plays the big boss who takes his assistant to a crossroads in the desert and says, This may offend some people, and they (the board of directors) will get a new story line, which is a very unique thing I have been doing for some time. ? Combining his previous attitude towards the self-consciousness of the artificial man and quoting Shakespeare and Stein, we can see that he has noticed this matter, and his ambition is probably to emancipate the mind of the artificial man and explore its ultimate possibility. Many people have tireless ambitions to create a religion and become its god, which is of course only the current inference.

"westworld" has a strong lineup, written by Jonathan? Nolan is also a screenwriter for Fatal Magic, Souvenir, The Dark Knight and The Rise of the Dark Knight. You may guess the mystery. He's Christopher? Nolan's brother. There are only two episodes in this play, and the third episode has just been released. There are all kinds of contradictions and doubts in the play, and some people make all kinds of guesses, including the old man in black at the beginning. Since the story itself is not finished, I won't speculate as usual. There are interesting theories on Post Bar and Douban.

The actor's acting skills exploded in the play, playing the prostitute Tandy? Newton came out of the vase image of Mission Impossible 2, and after the baptism of Crash, he was completely inferior to the acting school in this play, playing the father of Louis dolores. Louis herthum was not famous before, but his performance in this play was amazing.

If I have to give an evaluation, I won't give Douban 9.4 and IMDB 9.3. We have seen too many praises about this series. After reading the beginning, we said: I can tell you that this is probably the best series I have ever seen. "Still? This is one of this year's plays! ? There are countless scenes. The breakthrough point of westworld is still to resist this point by creating consciousness by artificial people. In movies, games and novels, people with certain experience will list many such plots. Whether they can speak new ideas and shock remains to be seen. The drama still has to undergo precipitation, but I am also very much looking forward to its later performance. After all, HBO controls its background and dynamics. I hope the writers will live up to the actors' performances, and HBO will surprise us again this fall.
