First of all, Zhang zhen's new film "The Soul" suffered from word of mouth. Although I'm a movie fan, I'm also one of the fans in Zhang zhen. So, when I learned that the film was going to be released, I bought a ticket with the mentality of watching a handsome guy lick his face, but after watching it, there were two big words in my mind-"this"? As the Douban Hot Review said, do you still need to use Zhang zhen for this story?
A few days after the film was released, the word-of-mouth of the film was reversed. Although many people praise it, most people admit that there are many loopholes and incomprehensible places in the plot. Generally speaking, it is a successful commercial film, and people will not want to see it again.
Second, what's wrong with this film? All the criticisms suffered by this film can actually be attributed to the unconvincing plot. Although the film is set in the future world, as an RNA replication technology throughout the film, it is very superficial, so superficial that liberal arts students are outrageous. Moreover, as a suspense film, the police and prosecutors in the film rely on "I'll tell you the truth" rather than evidence, which makes the audience feel like listening to a story without any sense of substitution.
Besides, aside from the label of suspense movies, the plot is basically a standard eight-point mixed homosexual factor, and most short reviews are shocked to see the homosexual plot on the big screen. But seriously, the same-sex part involved in the film is not deeply rendered, which will make people feel that it is a hard topic.
In a word, I am disappointed in many aspects of this film except the acting skills of the protagonist, or maybe I just had too high expectations for the film before.
