989 in one go

The laughing screening room gradually fell silent, looking at the big screen, Cage who had once again woken up on the recruit training package, his dark brown eyes were full of sadness and loneliness, and a faint bitterness slowly spread between his eyebrows.

He sat up slowly, slowly, his slow movements were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his whole body was full of tiredness, even in the face of the same curse, "Stand up, waste", he did not react, those sad eyes looked at the camera calmly and distantly, like an inky blue lake, unfathomable, serene and far-reaching.

All emotions came to an abrupt end.

Gavin's nose couldn't help but be slightly pantothenic, and indescribable sighs were churning in his chest, and he couldn't say a word.

After training again and again, dying again and again, and tempering again and again, Cage gradually grew up, like the "Angel of Verdun" in the TV news, and grew into a super soldier after "ten days of training", and at the same time saw the illusion of Omega's location and determined the target of the attack, but only after the real experience, Cage understood what kind of fire tempering Rita had experienced.

Despite this, they still can't get close to Omega.

In the first stage, Cage and Rita didn't even have a way to get through the beach area. Death has become a daily occurrence for Cage, but at the same time, he must also witness the sacrifice of his comrades.

Some died because of his stupidity, some died to save him, some died because of his drag, some died to save their teammates, but they never gave up the fight, and even in the face of annihilating slaughter, they continued to move forward bravely and fearlessly.

The beach has become a real slaughterhouse. While Cage is progressing, Omega is also evolving, leaving humanity without any chance.

Again, Cage exposes his back in order to save Ford, Griff blocks his gun and dies heroically, while Ford dies with the enemy in order to save Skinner, and then, more than a dozen aliens appear at the same time, annihilating all of Team J, including Rita.

Looking at Rita, who was completely breathless, Cage put down his weapons and stood in place, waiting for the enemy to devour him, and then woke up again. This time, standing in front of Rita again, Cage was unable to muster up the courage after all, he chose to escape, sneaked out of the barracks, and borrowed alcohol in the bar to kill his sorrows.

In the end, the whole of London fell and the end of the world came.

Cage finally realized that the so-called "saving the world" was not a joke, and that he was carrying too many lives on his shoulders, as well as the fate of the entire J team. As a result, Cage picked himself up and put more effort into training. Those flamboyant tongues, those hangers, and those wind/flow/suave are all gone, and they have grown into a resolute and iron-blooded warrior.

After stepping onto the battlefield again, Cage incarnated as the invincible god of war, leading Team J and Rita to advance by leaps and bounds, and finally broke through the beach and entered the second stage.

In the fierce pursuit with the aliens, Cage and Rita came to a farmhouse, the car ran out of gas, the armor had no battery, and the two had to stop in the farmhouse to find a new means of transportation, but Cage did everything he could to refuse, insisting that Rita stay, and even go back, and the rest of the road was completed by himself.

Just when everyone in the audience thought it was a coward's relapse, Rita noticed something strange and revealed the truth: this was not the first time they had arrived at the farmhouse.

In fact, they have come to the farmhouse countless times, tried again and again, different methods, different strategies, but all the ending is the same. Rita dies and Cage advances.

Cage is well aware that if he moves forward and destroys Omega, it means that Rita will die forever and never be resurrected. This was too heavy and too cruel for Cage to accept and unwilling to accept, so he insisted that Rita stay.

But Rita refused. And so, history repeats itself again.

Looking at the dying Rita, Cage's steps hesitated, timidly and frightened to stop in place, and stepped forward like a walking corpse, holding Rita's left hand, his eyes were blank.

The corners of Rita's mouth drew a smile, and her voice trembled slightly, as if she was suffering from indescribable pain, "My middle name is...... Rose. With that, Rita took her last breath.

Cage fell to his knees in a daze, motionless, his eyes lost all color, only gray, not even sadness, his numb and stiff look slowly faded in the depths of his eyes, but revealed a deep despair, dragging his ankles and sinking rapidly.

The aliens came, and Cage did not resist. So, there was the scene just now: Cage came to his senses again, but he was dazed and struggling.

The entire screening room fell silent. It's not just Gavin.

For the audience, death after death, in the playful and cheerful editing, has no sense of reality, like a video game, which can be kept and rebuilt without any burden, but as the camera progresses, they get to know every member of Team J, the kind Griff, the low-mouthed Ford, the iron-blooded Nancy, the clumsy Kimmer, the grumpy Skinner, and the fierce Kunz.

They need to witness these familiar characters, dying again and again, for the sake of their comrades, but also for the sake of victory.

At this moment, they finally understood the meaning of Rita's words, and when Cage mentioned Rita's boyfriend in Verne, she said lightly, "He died more than three hundred times in front of my eyes", so she began to gradually become numb, wrapped herself tightly, and became an iceberg beauty.

At this moment, they finally understood the meaning of Cage's words, "I wish I hadn't known you." ”

Not because of hatred, but because of love. That's why the pain was so intense, gnawing at the bones, that Gavin couldn't help but have a sour nose and couldn't speak.

"Rose", which is Rita's middle name, is just an introduction to a name, but it is so moving and so poignant. In the silence and silence of the screening room, there was a faint sound of sniffing and wiping tears, and indescribable emotion and sorrow permeated the crowd.

Before you know it, the passage of time has lost its meaning, and every viewer enters Cage's world and follows him into an endless cycle of reincarnation, with every death and rebirth, they are experiencing more and more torment, truly feeling the torture and pain of killing reincarnation.

Gavin would have had to applaud Paul Greengrass if he could.

The flowing narrative, the combination of fast and slow, ups and downs, the whole beginning and end is completely done in one go, not only is there no time left for distraction, but also the superfluous waste footage is completely gone-

Now Gavin finally understands why the narrative footage of Team J is so complete and full when they first meet, almost as the characters of the "Avengers" appear. It is precisely because of this that every character of Team J has established a connection with the audience, weakening Lan Li's role but increasing the audience's sense of substitution.

In the end, all the narrative focus falls on Lan Li's shoulders again, and Lan Li's performance completes the weight and depth of the film's core. In the first few scenes, Cage's struggle, pain, torment and torture, as well as Cage's sadness, despair, bitterness and numbness, in Lan Li's weighty performance, instantly raised the movie to a higher level.

Death has never been so easy, and killing has never been so easy.

"Where's your helmet?"

"I'm not going to wear it, it's too much of a hindrance. Walking on the battlefield again, Cage did not join Rita or walk with Team J, he chose to fight alone, those resolute and violent eyes, burst out with a powerful bloodthirsty aura, and a resolute and decisive that will never return.

Not only the audience in the screening room, but Griff, who was standing in front of Cage, was also full of question marks, "Have you drunk?" In the tense atmosphere, the audience chuckled again, but the curvature of the corners of their mouths could not be raised, and it was fleeting.

"Give me three more 556 magazines, eight grenades and a battery. That's Cage's answer.

Alone and fighting bloodily, Cage showed his strong domineering spirit of seeing gods and killing gods, and all the way to the location of the illusion of Omega, which was an abandoned dam that no one had ever reached.

But then Cage realized it was a trap. Omega wasn't there, but Alpha was waiting for him. Instead of killing Cage, the aliens try to drain Cage's blood and snuff off Cage's ability to reset time. Cage, who was alone, had no chance, so he chose to cut himself off and go back again.

In desperation, Cage finds Carter again through Rita and explains the situation, but all three are helpless.

The only hope now is the converter that Carter has developed - for which he lost his job, which is considered a neurosis, the so-called converter, which is placed in the body of the alpha, and then through the communication band between the alpha and the omega, in order to find the omega.

But they couldn't test and experiment further because of the lack of equipment – the equipment was all left in the White House, and the transponder needed an alpha to work.

They don't need an alpha, though, because Cage is the equivalent of an alpha.

So, Cage and Rita returned to the War Department in London and found the General - apparently, the two of them also tried more than once, and after failing again and again, the two simulated a way to dodge the soldiers and the crowd, and successfully entered the General's office and got the opportunity to talk face-to-face.

What's even more interesting is that Cage and the General are not talking for the first time either.

"General, this is not the first time we've had such a conversation, because you're very stubborn. You refuse to take my word for it, because Dr. Carter is right, the enemy can control time at will, and we are doomed. No matter how many people you send, they will all be sacrificed, and the only way to win this war is to find their core energy and then destroy it. And now, the key to finding it is in that safe.

No matter how many times we have had this conversation, you refuse to believe that London will fall tomorrow and that we will be defeated and, moreover, have nothing. ”

This time, they succeeded.
