The Best Director

Chapter 166 The best sci-fi movie this summer

Yes, yes, this is an illegal building, bulldoze it On the big screen, a barren and dirty muddy land, I saw a giant bulldozer with the MNU logo directly rolling over a metal house, With the loud sound of Kakaka, the iron house was slowly pushed down and flattened.

Not far away, a green adult shrimp bug jumped up and down anxiously and painfully, and yelled something at Robert Downey Jr., who was wearing a supervisor uniform, looking very angry. His child stood beside him, holding a tattered rag bear doll in his hand, and stared blankly at the fallen tin house.

While everyone from the MNU demolition team and the TV program crew stood aside and chatted happily, Downey smiled at the camera with a funny expression on his face, That guy said this is his home, haha He turned around Looking at the shrimp and insects, he shouted loudly: This is not your home, this planet and this land are not yours!

He waved his fist viciously, and made a posture of rushing forward to beat the shrimp and insect. The shrimp and insect over there raised his hands with a wow, indicating that he was not malicious. Downey laughed happily at the camera again: Did you see it? Did you see it? Some of them are so timid. It's very interesting. If you hold a stone, they will pee out.

Everyone around laughed cheerfully, only a few accompanying soldiers showed disdainful jokes on their faces. At this moment, the green shrimp and bug man suddenly let out an unbearable scream, and rushed towards Downey who was still twisting and saying piss everywhere, and a sound of Oh! exclamation

With a gunshot, the shrimp and insect bent down in pain, and his right knee was bloody and bloody. The bald-headed colonel pointed a pistol at the worm, laughed mockingly and bloodthirstyly, and pulled the trigger one after another, hitting the worm on his left knee, hands, stomach, chest and other parts.

As Downey yelled Hey, you're breaking the law, don't kill him, he shifted his pistol, aimed at the head of the twitching shrimp bug lying on the ground, and slammed through his head. The bald colonel looked at the tearful alien child with a chuckle, and said with a chuckle, Little bug, what are you looking at? Why? Because you should be damned. After finishing speaking, he and his subordinates laughed and walked away.

Don't shoot this one. Donnie looked at the camera with an ugly face, covered it with his hands again, and said, Don't shoot this one, delete this part later.

There was no sound in the auditorium, and Evelyn felt her heart was beating heavily, as if it had to be extra hard every time, and there was a creeping creep all over her body, the bucket of popcorn had long been too much to eat. Up and down, almost everyone around is like this, and the popcorn drinks are put aside; Kelly Doyle frowned tightly, suppressing her voice: It really doesn't look funny at all.

At the beginning, everyone's mentality was very peaceful.

There is also some interest in watching the excitement. They have no sympathy for the isolation, exhibitions, and stage play beast taming performances that aliens receive. They are just a group of dregs who like to kill and set fire; but after entering the ninth district, the audience Their moods became somewhat contradictory, MNU and human beings have done all kinds of inhumane bad things, and the aliens don't seem to be that bad.

Adam, let's go. A long brown-red girl tugged at her boyfriend who was concentrating on it, and said in a depressed tone: I can't stand it anymore, it's too cruel. Adam looked at the big screen without turning his head, completely Fascinated, she responded after being teased a few times: Are you kidding me? That's what the R rating is like. It's very good. Come on Lily, haven't you been waiting for this movie for a long time?

Lily nodded, and sighed again: But this is Miracle Yang's movie... She looked at the screen where Downey was excitedly about to burn down the alien's baby breeding room, her eyebrows were raised high, and she said in disbelief: Miraculous Yang is crazy. She was also fascinated by watching, and did not mention the matter of leaving the scene.

Shenandoah Theater, the audience in the film critic seating area was equally silent and engrossed. Ben Mankiewicz, a columnist for In the Movies magazine, touched his chin, watching and meditating. From the first few minutes alone, Look, this movie is already very simple, very unique, and the aliens in it don't have any old settings. It is surprising that aliens with advanced technology can also be so downcast...

As for the apartheid Ninth District, ugly human nature, etc., these elements and styles all appear to be ambitious, not the kind of midsummer commercial entertainment blockbuster, it is not simple. Maybe it could actually be nominated for an Oscar? Thinking of this, Ben Mankiewicz couldn't help laughing, if it's just these things now, it's not enough.

They're like this... On the screen, the iron house where the alien babies were raised was on fire, and the strange sound of Pippy's popping sounded in the theater, as well as the laughter of Viggs and others. Jessica seemed to be blocked by something in her heart, she held Wang Yang's hand tightly, and was a little speechless: Oh my god, this...

Well, he's about to pay the price. Wang Yang smiled calmly, and this was just the beginning. Downey in a suit and leather shoes looked at himself on the screen, thought of the series of stories he was about to suffer, and shook his head with a snort and said with a smile: Poor Wiggs.

Soon after Wiggs was searching the house, he was sprayed by the 0-year energy fluid collected by Christopher Fussen, and after a while of discomfort, he returned to the company after finishing the day's work. He began to show the initial symptoms of deformation, black nosebleeds, nails falling off and teeth loosening, and he returned home in fear.

Metamorphosis in the projection hall of a theater in San Francisco, a golden girl in the auditorium was stupefied with astonishment, and lost her voice: Metamorphosis, Kafka, he... Viggs is going to become an alien It's gone. Her yell made the people around look dissatisfied, and someone next to her felt that what she said made sense, and couldn't help asking: What transformation?

She blinked her eyes, and seemed to be answering as if she was talking to herself: The Ninth District is a prison. This is the story of being abandoned by the whole world after being transformed, and dying of despair.

Sure enough, when Wiggs, played by Downey, was sent to the hospital due to fainting, the doctor cut off the gauze on his left hand, and saw that the hand had become the hand of a shrimp bug. Get up and call out of control: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh—— Seeing Viggs turned into an alien, everyone in the home theater and the Shenandoah Theater were enveloped in exclamation. Because of the good secrecy work, they didn't know until now...transformation? What happened? Evelyn shrank back unnaturally, her forehead was covered with fine sweat due to tension; Claire leaned forward with her eyes wide open, a human being turned into a beetle? Cool she exclaimed

It seems to be Metamorphosis., It's a great idea to adopt this idea. A look of excitement flashed across the faces of the film critics, and they sat up straight unconsciously. They already smelled the taste of classic movies

Kirk Honeycutt, a film critic of The Hollywood Reporter, couldn't help but took a deep breath, and glanced at the front row. The young man was incredible. , The miserable treatment of the worms makes people indignant. Viggs was originally a persecutor, but now he is going to become a worm. The following content can be expected to be quite exciting

If you want to miss a classic movie? Natalie stuffed popcorn into her mouth, looked at the long brown-red girl next to her, and said vaguely: Well, then you guys, please leave early. Adam Both Lily and Li turned their heads to look at her. In the dim light, they could only see the outline clearly. They looked back to the big screen indifferently.

The images played on the film have made more and more people unable to eat popcorn, not only that, but also produced waves of nausea, and fans of cult movies are hooked. The Viggs on the screen was studied in the secret laboratory of the MNU headquarters. After a round of inhumane experiments, he was agreed upon by his father-in-law and other MNU senior officials for anatomy.

Then Viggs struggled hard, shot the MNU guard with an alien gun, and escaped from the dissection room. Then the scenes in the big laboratory, even many fans who are used to watching bloody cult movies feel a little unbearable. Because it is not only visually violent and bloody, but also eerie and depressing that makes people breathless. There are corpses hanging on the wall, piles of skins on the table, trays of eyeballs, and a godless and pitiful alien child.

He's so fucking crazy that he didn't get grade -7. As a veteran culT fan, Andrew couldn't help shivering, staring at the screen like admiring gems, thinking in his heart: Oh my God , the special effects are so cool, and the high-cost cult is so cool... Those corpses and muscles are so real, it would be great if there were more magicians in Hollywood...

But the film critics didn't just see the corpses of aliens. The mnu company logo was hung on the wall of the laboratory, and there was a picture of the earth representing all human beings next to it. They knew that the depression in this scene came from this silent accusation. Maybe every human being more or less agrees that human beings are not good things, dolphins, fur... How many animals are killed and skinned like shrimp and insects because of human greed and interests? Where is the bottom line of human nature?

However, as ordinary viewers, they don't think about so many things. They read the story first when watching a movie, and then talk about the rest after watching the movie. However, every screening room in the home theater is dead silent, only the soundtrack and sound of the movie, not because there are no audiences, but because everyone is watching extremely nervously, the sense of reality created by the viral marketing in the publicity stage, coupled with perfect and seamless special effects And some methods of pseudo-documentary made them unknowingly and strongly substituted, and they were unwilling to miss a shot.

I completely forgot the time, forgot that I was watching a movie, as if this was a real thing, as if I was Viggs.

Don't give up on me, baby, don't... There was soft, sad whispering music. Under the night, Donnie sat on the wasteland full of garbage, crying, and said to the phone in a firm and pleading voice: Believe me, I didn't fuck with those bugs, I love you, don't give up on me... His wife cried, Wiggers, I want to believe you, but you... let me go.

Beep beep—Donnie gripped the phone tightly, weeping softly, with despair in his eyes. After crying for a few seconds, he suddenly roared madly Ah, threw the phone out violently, and shouted that he tore off the skin that was about to fall off with both hands, and all of a sudden it was a big piece of blood, and he immediately He cried out in pain and fell to the ground, crying so much that his face was covered with black nasal fluid and tears.

Jesus... The audience in the screening hall seemed to be able to feel the martial arts. The strongest abandoned young man of the Jiuzhongtian, the king of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, the martial arts, the general of the universe, kills the gods and seals the throne at night, seeks the magic, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man of the nine heavens The royal family of Zhou felt the pain and was abandoned by everyone, and they wanted to become a worm... Under the big screen, Evelyn wiped away the tears swirling in her eyes, her heart ached like being pressed by a boulder; Lily's right hand She held her boyfriend Adam's hand vigorously, and wiped her tears with her left hand; Claire cried Woo, pressed her red nose, and cursed softly: Damn Fantastic Yang, why did you shoot like this...

The hearts of countless viewers are hurting, and the eyes of many girls are filled with uncontrollable tears; and the leading actors of The Hangover are full of disbelief, who is the magic Yang? Is it this depressing movie that makes people crazy, full of darkness and despair; or is it the humorous, funny, and fun young director who plays pranks and kung fu on the set?

Will my choice be wrong? Charlize Theron, who was wearing a red low-cut evening dress, suddenly had some worries in her heart. Will Magic Young's comedy movie be really funny? Although the script and the scenes shot on the set are laughable; but the movie on the big screen in front of me is too scary. She looked at Wang Yang, who was seated on the lower right, and saw him talking affectionately to Jessica, who looked uncomfortable.

Joshua, who was at the back of the guest seat, let out a breath. Now he understands why Young wants to make a comedy film, and what the phrase I want to have a good time means. He has always been a cool guy with thick lines, who Knowing that watching this movie would be so depressing, he thought he would drive himself crazy if he didn't have a good time.

In Toronto, in the dimly lit screening room, Rachel frowned. Her heart was hurting because of Wiggs; and that guy, he must have been lonely and miserable during his prison days, right? In New York, Natalie ate popcorn in silence. She looked at the audience, and there seemed to be tearful emotional girls everywhere. She wiped her tearless eye sockets and muttered: My tear ducts are too weak. .”

The story continued on the big screen. Wiggs decided to go to the mnu headquarters with Christopher Fussen to retrieve the energy liquid. They summoned a few shrimp and insects with high IQs to go together, and killed them all in the heavily guarded mnu headquarters. In the end, only Viggs and Fussen survived, successfully picked up the energy liquid, and drove back to the ninth district to prepare to return to the big spaceship.

Upon hearing that the power fluid would either be enough to reboot the ship and return to Fussen's homeland, or to heal his transformation, Wiggs knocked Fussen unconscious and chose the latter. At this time, MNU also dispatched a large number of army and air forces to drive into the ninth district to carry out a large-scale search. The decisive battle in the final stage of the film is coming.

Hmm. Evelyn shrank her body and propped her forehead with her right hand, staring at the screen without blinking, trying to resist the nausea. The hand-held shaking camera all the way, especially the big part of the battle, the shaking, explosions, and flesh and blood made her excited and nervous on the one hand, wishing to kill those hateful humans herself; but on the other hand, she felt dizzy and wanted to To vomit.

Three years, I promise you and I will come back in three years. In the hail of bullets, Christopher Fussen solemnly made a promise to Viggs, who was manipulating the mecha, and said, Goodbye, my friend. After saying that, he got into the In an armored vehicle that was overturned on the ground, the worm-shaped mecha resisted the ding ding dongdong bullets, the mechanical arm turned the armored vehicle upright, and Fussen immediately drove to the small spaceship that fell on the ground.

Downey in the mecha showed a smile mixed with all kinds of tastes. The mecha turned around slowly, and in front of him was a huge army. He fell to the back of the armored vehicle and kept shooting bullets at him. The mecha suddenly rushed towards them with a bang, and raised its two mechanical arms to aim at them.

Downey, whose eyes, forehead, and lips have all been deformed, roared, You people, you all deserve to die! Countless huge bullets spewed out from the mouth of Gatling's cannon-like arm, and flew towards their locked targets.

Suddenly, close-up shots of soldiers appeared on the screen, one, two, three... Their faces, either surprised or too late to react, turned around quickly, shaking the highly focused audience dizzy in a few seconds, and the picture was fixed at one On the face of the burly soldier lying on the ground, he opened his mouth blankly and spit out: bsp; bang bang, all the bullets hit the target and produced an energy explosion, and all the soldiers in this area were blasted into flesh in an instant The picture on the screen suddenly slowed down again. There was a slow motion time of one second, and you could clearly see the blood and flesh that covered the sky and scattered in all directions, and then fell to the ground with a bang, turning the muddy ground, Tin houses and armored vehicles were all dyed red.

That's right, kill them all home theater and Shenandoah Theater, the audience was excited, excited for the tragic death of those scumbags, and there was a rare noise in the screening hall tonight: Kill them all, more and more

Uh, uh... Evelyn finally couldn't hold it anymore, a strong and uncontrollable sense of vomiting suddenly appeared in her excited and disgusting nerves, she immediately leaned forward, and vomited the dinner in her stomach He vomited out all the melted matter, popcorn, etc., and made a big puddle all over the floor.

Whoa! Carrie Doyle and a hazel-haired white young man sitting on both sides of her jumped up reflexively, but still splashed a lot; everyone around her also looked at it, and there was a buzzing sound. Talking voice. The white young man looked shocked, seeing his shoes covered with vomit, and shouted: What the hell is this?

Evelyn's face was livid, she leaned against the chair uncomfortably, and said, I'm sorry, oh shit, I'm so sorry... Seeing that she looked like she was about to be paralyzed, Kelly asked hurriedly, Evelyn, what are you doing? Are you okay? Oh my God, don’t scare me. Evelyn waved her hands awkwardly and said, It's okay, it's okay, it's just dizziness and chest tightness.

The audience around all chattered: She looks so pitiful, like a little mouse., Don't talk about it, I feel a little nauseous now..., I understand her. This time was too bloody... The white young man scratched his head, looked very speechless, and sighed: Beauty, your reaction is too exaggerated. Kelly rolled her eyes and shrugged, compared to what she saw I was so scared that I almost died in Ghost Story, what is the vomiting now?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Evelyn blushed with embarrassment, why didn't she hold back, it was too embarrassing, Kelly Doyle, who was standing by the side, supported her waist with one hand, and said helplessly: Evelyn, You shouldn't be watching Fantastic Young's movies, it's too dangerous for you. So what now?

The white young man sat back in his seat with a heavy breath, ignored the vomit and the smell, and continued to invest in the big screen. The movie was about to come to the end, so he couldn't be disturbed by this terrible incident

After a fierce battle, the big spaceship was finally launched by Christopher Fussen and his son, and the whole of Los Angeles was shaken. There were cracks in the glass of tall buildings and vehicles. The military nervously dispatched a large number of fighter jets, but the big spaceship had no intention of fighting. Take off and go. In the ninth district, after Wiggs crazily massacred a large number of soldiers, the mechs were also completely damaged to pieces.

What do you want to do? When the remaining bald colonel was holding a pistol and jokingly wanted to kill Wiggs, suddenly a lot of shrimp and insects came out of the surrounding tin houses. The bald-headed colonel tore: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—— His feet were torn off and thrown aside, blood was sprayed wildly, his hands were ripped off, and his waist was also ripped off, and his intestines were full of blood. ground; at last his head was torn off too.

After the big screen goes dark for a second, there are shots of TV programs, news reports, etc. channel, the male host said with a heavy face: We have lost many, many excellent people in this operation of arresting Wiggs, and countless families have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers. They have suffered unbearable Grief. He paused, and said sadly: Let us mourn for them.

Suddenly on the screen was a video of the bald colonel playing happily with his own children on the lawn. His face was full of fatherly love, and his hearty laughter was like a big child.

He was a man who loved his family very much, and his death is a pity. A white neighbor woman said sadly to the camera; then another young man said: He is the best person I know Yes, he's a good guy, although he has a temper at times.

Dad, where is Dad... the bald colonel's several-year-old daughter was crying, her immature face was full of tears, and the colonel's wife was crying silently while holding her daughter's head; , hugging a brand new and clean cloth bear doll toy tightly.

Seeing this scene, most of the audience in the thousands of screening halls suddenly felt their hearts tighten, as if they were hit by something. Why? Lily said with surprise on her face: In the beginning, that little alien was also holding that rag doll, oh my god... Adam next to him frowned, feeling a flash of emotion, and said suspiciously: They are all dead, But their children are so pitiful, who deserves to die?

In the film critic area of ​​the Shenandoah Theater, the film critics were churning in their hearts, pondering and savoring the meaning of the strange scenes before and after. The bald colonel brutally killed the green shrimp bug, and he was brutally torn to pieces in the end. , two children's tears and toys. Ben Mankiewicz was a little short of breath, every time he saw those classic pictures, he thought: There is no absolute good or evil in human nature? Anti-war? Peace?

Fantastic Young's ambitions are a bit too high, but... Well done, this movie suddenly has more to ponder and linger on. Kirk Honeycutt of the Hollywood Reporter couldn't help admiring that after this set of shots, the bald colonel is no longer a single rigid and murderous image before, he has become a living person, a person with complex humanity.

What about Wiggs? He looked at the big screen, another mock-documentary shot, and Wiggs' father said with a straight face: I don't know the truth, I want someone to tell me. Wiggs' mother's face was full of anger and grief, her eyes were red He said, He killed many innocent people. From the time he did that shameful thing, I thought he was dead.

After some family and friends, Viggs suddenly appeared on camera, sitting at his desk, holding a photo of his wife's wedding dress, and said with a cheerful smile: Everyone says his wife is an angel, but she is the real one. angel.

I don't believe he would do that kind of thing. He is the best kind of man. I still miss him every day... Viggs' wife said with a look of warmth in her face, her eyes slowly turning red, I often think, why didn't he call me then? Is there any problem that can't be solved?

Oh, there was a sudden exclamation in the auditorium, and the audience looked at each other in blank dismay. The person who answered Victrex's call before was completely simulated by the MNU for voice control? In an instant, many, many girls, and some boys felt a surge of heat, their eye sockets became moist, their hearts were uncomfortable, depressed and crazy, and they all felt desperate to smash things. How could the damn Miraculous Yang do this?

The big screen showed an aerial shot of the slums on the beach, showing some follow-up information of the story: After completing the resettlement of the aliens, the ninth district has been demolished. There is now the tenth district, and the population continues to grow...

With the melancholy sound of music, I saw a green shrimp and bug man sitting on a rubbish pile of ruins, and a dilapidated iron house in the distance. He was messing with a gadget in his hand, and looked in the direction of the camera. He looked at the finished bamboo dragonfly, and suddenly rubbed his hands together, and the bamboo dragonfly flew into the sky. He raised his head and looked at it, and the camera gradually rose. The blue sky was barren, and the bamboo dragonfly flew higher and higher...

Director: yung-ng, producer: yung-ng, stepen-ey-Jr....

Oh, the film critics were all surprised, and the screen with the credits rolling in front of them seemed to be the same scene as before. Ben Mankiewicz swallowed his saliva, his heart was beating fast, that scene seemed to release the depression and despair of the whole movie, it made people feel a bit of warmth, but it also made people feel a heart-warming coolness, bamboo The dragonfly represents freedom, beauty, and hope; it flies to the sky, and wants to fly out of the Tenth District, which represents isolation, filth, and despair...

But can it fly out? Wiggs looked at the sky alone, waiting for Christopher Fussen's sudden return? Still missing his wife?

Human nature, racial discrimination, freedom, good and evil, anti-war... Fantastic Yang has great ambitions, but he does it well. Ben Mankiewicz wiped his forehead unnaturally. He couldn't believe that this was a movie made by a young man, because he had already thought of a sentence he wrote about District Ninth: This is a great movie. Movies, this is... one of the best sci-fi movies of the summer.

Even the best movie of the year. He shook his head sighing, unbelievable, really unbelievable to be shortlisted for an Oscar? Absolutely enough, it's done right.

Magic Yang, I hate him... Lili wiped away the tears that kept gushing from her eyes, and still stared at the screen tightly, hoping that after the credits were over, there would suddenly be some happy scenes. There was still no noise among the people around, and there was still no noise in the auditorium that was full of seats. Everyone seemed to be reminiscing, thinking, or waiting for the appearance of the easter egg.

Natalie stared at the big screen expressionlessly, the bucket of popcorn in her arms was already empty, she suddenly let out a long breath: K.
