The movie "Finch" takes the apocalypse as the background, the road as the carrier, and science fiction as the shell. It tells the story of a doomsday survivor who entrusts his dog to a robot he created during his final journey. .

01 "Mediocre" movie

The plot of "Finch" is very simple, and you can actually guess the ending after reading the beginning. There are no ups and downs of plot design, no hearty fighting scenes, no frightening scary monsters, and no cool hard-core high-tech.

Although the setting of one person and one dog in the doomsday world is very eye-catching, the protagonist is not a hero who saves the world, and the dog is not a divine assist for the protagonist on the way to upgrade and fight monsters. People are ordinary people, and so are dogs. , they are even vulnerable in the harsh environment of the end of the world.

The mediocre story and ordinary characters make the whole movie seem "unremarkable", but "Finch" is a rare and excellent film.

02 Well-made and ingeniously designed

Except for the filter blessing of the Game of Thrones director (Mingal Sapuchnik) and the Oscar-winning actor (Tom Hanks), " "Fincher" itself also has a high production level. The picture of the movie is very textured, and every frame is very delicate; the overall rhythm is gentle but not boring.

It is also very brilliant in creating a sense of atmosphere: the film uses a large number of long-range shots to show the desolation and desolation of the end of the world: cities half buried in yellow sand, overwhelming hurricanes, dilapidated buildings Everything...all reveals the despair of the doomsday world.

The film has very few shots of other survivors and can be regarded as another one-man show by Tom Hanks. On the one hand, this design shows that the disaster has killed most of the human beings on the earth; Through the survivors who are hidden outside the camera but cannot be ignored, the sense of distrust between people is deepened, and at the same time, the audience can better understand the protagonist's inner loneliness and fear.

03 The content does not lose depth

"Finch" is a warm film, and the entire emotional tone is slightly sad. Although there are also plots that make people laugh, the sadness is always lingering and runs through the whole story; it does not make people sad or sad, nor is it forced to be sensational, and all emotional expressions are just right.

Doomsday films always discuss the discussion of human nature, especially the sinister human heart. In extremely harsh environments, in order to snatch limited resources, human beings frequently kill each other. Although the plot of "Finch" is simple, it does not lose its depth. In addition to the repeatedly emphasized "trust", the film actually conveys many things: the emotions surrounding people, robots and dogs, thoughts about the continuation of human life, the soul The redemption, about growth, about human experience...
