May 1, 11.30 a.m., a small fourth-tier city.

The mall, which should have been quiet, is still bustling, and the reason is certainly not that it is doing a discount event.

There's a land cinema here.

This holiday is a little awkward, the time is not long, and many Chinese people have also changed their travel habits.

Therefore, watching movies has become a leisure method chosen by many people.

And today, there are at least three blockbuster movies premiering.

The small waiting hall was full of people, all talking with smiles.

Ah Zheng and Qiu Yu are a small couple in the team, and they are usually very busy at work, so they naturally have to take a good rest during the holidays.

The itinerary has already been arranged, watch a midnight movie, then go to a skewer, and then sleep in the dark, it's not too perfect.

"Niu, why don't we go buy a set meal first? Anyway, I can't get enough of Coke popcorn, so it won't affect the supper for a while. Ah Zheng saw that there were many people queuing up there.

"Okay, you look at it, I want Bing Kuole!"

"Okay. ”

He said yes and walked over.

Just while waiting, I was a little bored and began to look at the promotional posters placed on the side.

outcome

I ran back in a hurry, and I didn't bother to buy anything.

"Niu, what movie are you buying, is it "The Last Days"?"

"What is the end times?" The girlfriend was a little inexplicable: ""Spring and Summer", starring Xiaolu, is super touching. ”

"Uh... Okay, then let's watch a film tomorrow afternoon, Director Su Yan, you know. ”

"I don't know. ”

"Why, the director of your favorite "We Are Married", he also made a movie, it is still a science fiction film, I feel good after watching the poster. ”

"Okay. Qiu Yu took out his mobile phone: "I'll book a ticket first." ”

"Okay!"

Five minutes later, Ah Zheng walked back with a drink.

"I'm sorry, my dear!"

"What's wrong?"

"The tickets for "The Last Days" are sold out tomorrow, and the rest are all in the first three rows. ”

"It's so hot, that's fine, it's okay the day after tomorrow. ”

"The day after tomorrow... Not anymore. ”

......

Magic City, a certain movie theater, Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyun are wearing caps on their heads and sitting in the corner, although they still need to go to the company for a meeting when the box office comes out tomorrow, but this does not affect the little romance between the two.

There are hundreds of people in the entire waiting hall, and now through the mobile phone, you can basically determine the attendance rate of this session, the national data, or wait until tomorrow to come out.

This theater is not big, there are a total of six halls, "The Last Days" occupies two, and the attendance rate is about 55%, which is very good, slightly higher than the opponent.

Of course, this is not representative in any way and does not say anything about the final outcome.

Yun'er was sipping Coke there while playing with Su Yan's hand.

The two of them enjoyed this rare leisure time.

After a while, the sound of ticket inspection came over the radio.

They sat still until everyone had gone in, and then they got up.

In Hall 5, the lights have been turned off, and public service announcements are playing on the screen.

Su Yan and the others bent down to find their position and looked left and right.

About 7.80 people, most of them men or couples, sat down as they were, just like themselves, after putting their drinks aside.

Although the finished film has been seen more than once, on the big screen, it is still different.

As the dragon mark appeared, his heartbeat accelerated.

Nine months, 270 days.

It's finally released.

What he didn't know was that not far from him, there was a little brother sitting with a small notebook and a pen in his hand in addition to 3D glasses.

Dead vines and old trees.

seems to be a very ordinary screen name, but on Douban, it is a little famous.

He's a film critic, a special guest.

A good film critic should understand the cultural background involved in the film, the style and artistic purpose of each director, and be able to analyze the film's picture, color, tone, cohesion, dialogue, artistic characteristics, lens editing, music, narrative plot and structure, etc., and have a certain writing skill to write well, so this is an industry that seems simple but actually needs strength.

The reason why Lao Shu is famous is not only because the writing is objective and in place, but the recommended movies can almost resonate.

The most important thing is that in the first two years, the operation of a certain movie cost 20,000 yuan to ask him to write a boastful article, but not only did he not agree, but also directly posted the chat record to Weibo, which made the other party lose face.

This also made many netizens very curious about his true identity, some said that he was an insider, some said that he was a famous director, and some said that he was a rich second generation.

In short, the withered vines and old trees have become the guiding light for many bean friends and netizens to choose movies.

This will come to watch the premiere, which is also proposed by Douban, and will evaluate the selection of two films released on May Day.

That North American film was directly passed, and the IMBA score has fully explained the problem.

However, in "Spring and Summer" and "The Last Days", he hesitated for a while, although he was not optimistic about the starring role of the former, but Qian Yu still had some strength, especially when he returned to the youth campus drama he was good at.

But the latter invested 400 million, which is a huge amount of money in terms of domestic films, and it is a science fiction theme, although the director Su Yan is a novice, and the two versions of the promotional film are remarkable.

In the end, Lao Shu still chose "The End of the World".

In 2060, nuclear war broke out, plunging the world into chaos and decimating the population.

Various war footage appeared on the screen, news reports.

Twenty seconds later, the footage goes black and the subtitles reappear.

In 2070, it will not be themselves that will rule mankind, but the AI-Hongmeng developed by scientists.

A huge white bunker appears - the Harmony base.

The camera circles around, gradually zooming out and pulling higher.

It's dark,

The occasional flash of lightning,

Light up the night sky,

The city looks even more dilapidated,

Quack Quack,

I don't know where the crow of the crow is heard,

Proves that this is not a dead city.

The withered vine and old tree stared at the screen, constantly writing in his hand, and there was no need to bow his head at all.

"Hollywood-style opening, the setting is not new, AI rules human beings cliché, but the one-minute long shot is very interesting, the white bunker appears at the beginning, buries a line, and has a strong contrast with the surrounding deserted city, who lives in it?

The city is not CG, it should be built, very sincere, the music should be played by Xun, very sad, plus crows, night cats, it seems that the director has some special intentions..."

If Su Yan saw what was written in Lao Shu's notebook at this time, he would probably take his hand and shout "bosom friend".

The camera begins to fall to a room in a dilapidated building.

The dilapidated tables and chairs, the empty bookshelves, and the windows have long since disappeared from the glass, and they can only rely on wooden planks to block the wind.

In the bedroom, the dim light, the man on the bed is like gold paper, as if he is dying, and next to him is a boy holding a baby.

There was a small commotion in the theater.

Because of the close-up, everyone found out that it was Chen Chichi who was lying there with the vicissitudes of life, but after seeing him play a comedy role, there was no sense of disobedience.

"Boom!"

The huge Thor came.

The father looked at his child like this, and the expression on his face was more apologetic than unwilling.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Xiao, Dad can't take care of your brothers and sisters, you have grown up, and your sister will rely on you in the future... Ahem, ahem. ”

The boy was in a hurry and gently put the baby down, wanting to feed the water on the side to his father.

"Don't waste it," the father shook his head softly, his eyes on his son, and he refused to look away.

Outside the window, it has begun to rain,

With tears in his eyes, the boy grabbed his father's hand and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

"Remember... Don't... Revealing Sister... She... Although it's not... But... But..."

"Boom..."

The boy couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

Next, the screen quickly switches.

One shot in three seconds.

Boys grow up, and girls grow up.

The audience also learned some information from it.

The white bunker is the Hongmeng base, because the nuclear radiation still exists, no crops can be grown in the field, and the only source of food for humans is to find all kinds of waste products and exchange everything needed for life, such as food, such as water.

It is the robots that maintain order that patrol the neighborhoods three times a day, and in addition to providing exchanges, they are also responsible for supervising law and order.

Human beings can only survive,

And

Defective people,

Once discovered,

Will be forced to the bunker by the robot, never to appear again, people believe, is eliminated.

Because, only healthy human beings are qualified to survive and be entitled to food.

And the protagonist of the movie, Zhou Xiao,

In addition to surviving in the end of the qualification, he also has to hide his sister.

She is her only relative and a source of food for others.

Yes, there is a reward for reporting.

The two moved to the corner of the city, and Zhou Xiao found a residence with a basement for his sister, going out to scavenge during the day in exchange for meager supplies, and staying with his sister who had no right arm since she was a child.

Diandian is also very well-behaved, she always remembers that as long as her brother goes out, no matter what movement there is, he can't make a sound, and for ten years, only a tattered rag doll has accompanied her.

Occasionally, Zhou Xiao would also tell some stories with Diandian, stories he heard from his father.

Many, many years ago,

The sky is blue,

The sea is blue,

It rains only a few days a month,

The steak tastes so good that it's like eating meat.

At this time,

A little bit will ask,

What is blue, what is sea, what is steak.

Zhou Xiao was speechless, so he said to his sister, when you grow up, your brother will take you to see the sea.

The happiest thing for her is when it is difficult to get the sun,

The brother will take the risk of taking himself upstairs,

Through the cracks in the roof, the warm sun shines.

"There are cracks in everything, and that's where the sun shines in. ”

"So brother, that's how you got tanned?"

"......" Zhou Xiao.

The character played by Tilone is the neighbor's bosom sister, who lives alone, meets the brother and sister by chance, and often helps Zhou Xiao take care of the little bit, and the three of them have become a family.

originally thought that life would be so hard but dull.

But the unexpected has to happen.

The villain played by Lin Gengxin and the two accomplices discovered the existence of a little bit, and he used it to threaten Zhou Xiao to divide half of the food he got every day.

Although he was only eighteen years old, ten years of life in the last days made Zhou Xiao grow up very early, and on the surface, he was a hypocritical snake, and he ran away directly with Tyrol.

Annoyed and angry, Lin Gengxin followed him several times, but after the other party escaped, he reported directly to Hongmeng.

In this way, the three of them directly entered the blacklist, and the food on their bodies had already been consumed, and they met Huang Lei at this time.

The kind-hearted Huang Lei took them in and provided them with food and water, and when faced with the robot's interrogation, he hesitated, but finally decided to hide it, because if his child grows up, he will be about the same age as Zhou Xiao.

Within a few days of peace of mind, the location was exposed again.

Together, the four embark on a thrilling escape journey.

In the end, Huang Lei sacrificed himself and let the three escape.

It can be said that in the second half of the film, the pace is fast and breathless.

The sacrifice of the kind uncle previewed the second half of the plot.

It is not only the robots that are eyeing them, Lin Gengxin, but also the seemingly kind Xu Qing and Hu Shuai, and the loyal Zhang Yimou, and various supporting roles appear in turn.

Zhou Xiao and Tillore relied on their skills to escape, and they escaped repeatedly.

But

In the face of the crowd of tigers, Diandian was still arrested.

Desperate, Zhou Xiao met Hu Shuai, who was also taken away from his family, and he had a map that had taken years to sort out, as well as a map of the robot's movements.

Acting together, we found it.

was attacked by robots on the periphery,

Before they died, the two men sent Luo'er inside.

Filled with grief, Tilrol enters the bunker.

I found that this place turned out to be different from what I imagined.

Not the legendary slaughterhouse,

It's more like the farm in the book.

Meadows, fruit trees of all kinds, animals that have never been seen,

And those who are missing are disabled,

It's here that the labor is carried out,

Don't have to endure the wind and sun,

Don't worry about not having enough to eat,

Don't worry about radiation,

Everyone had a smile on their face.

Even through the glass, she could see dots, and she was struggling to use her left hand.

So what is this for?

Zhou Xiao's sacrifice turned out to be so ridiculous.

In the midst of loud weeping,

Hongmeng's voice appeared.

"Humans are too selfish, if they are outside, it should be difficult for them to survive, I just provide a place..."

"Then why don't you tell us the truth?"

"I'm afraid you're going to do this on purpose..."

Tillore was speechless.

In the end, Hongmeng invited her to stay,

But it was rejected,

After glancing at the dots again, he resolutely walked out...

The end of the play.

The lights came on again in the cinema, and there was no applause.

Many people sat there without moving, their expressions were very solemn, including the withered vines and old trees, as well as Su Yan and his wife.

Although Yuna was on the set all the time during filming, it was the first time she had seen the finished film.

"Oba... Why do I feel panicked? ”

Su Yan took her hand and did not speak.

Lao Shu has countless words in his heart that he wants to say.

grievance,

Very aggrieved.

Let's not talk about the many unreasonable bugs in the plot for the time being.

In the first hour, the movie was still qualified in his opinion, whether it was the switching of shots, the perspective of the director's storytelling, or the outstanding set, and even gave an excellent one.

But what the hell is the last half hour.

Human nature is good!

There are still a lot of good people!

These words are completely broken in the movie.

Eschatological.

Is it really so cruel?

Can a good dad turn into a demon for some food?

All have become selfish and bad people,

That's it!

I admit it!

But the end?

I don't understand!

Zhou Xiao's efforts in the past ten years are actually not the best choice?

Actually, he did it wrong?

No!

Hongmeng is actually not qualified to intervene in human behavior, he is just AI, he doesn't know what family affection is,

Zhou Xiaoneng gave everything for his sister,

But it doesn't seem to be the case...

The withered vines and old trees are constantly affirming and denying,

He didn't know what the director was trying to show.

But when Su Yan and Yun'er were walking in the aisle, there was also a discussion from the audience in their ears.

"Do you think it looks good?"

"It's pretty, but..."

"Uncomfortable?"

"Yes, I'm depressed to watch, especially the ending. ”

"Yes, Zhou Xiao was sacrificed in vain. ”

"When Mr. Huang Lei lit the fire, I cried. ”

No wonder the director said at the time that it was a tragedy. ”

“......”
