The same is true.

After the premiere of "Edge of Tomorrow" ended, "Vanity Fair" reporter Daisy Lucas didn't have time to leave the Chinese Theater. Standing in the gentle breeze of the night, he couldn't wait to type the above words, and published himself in the first time. Her mood, every word and every sentence revealed her joy and happiness at the moment.

Daisy-Lucas, since the "Pacific War", she has been curious and inquiring about the actor Renly, and her wise brushstrokes are more or less with some women's innate favor, but that's just As a reporter probed the actor, Renly never really moved her.

until today.

As a reporter, Daisy knows better than anyone that "Edge of Tomorrow" is a commercial film, a commercial film through and through; at the same time, she also clearly knows that love is not the main line of this film, even if the side lines are not counted , but, she still sank like this, deeply sunk.

Writing a film review is the job of a professional film critic; but Daisy still wrote a long film review on her personal Facebook overnight. It's more of an afterthought than a movie review.

"This is not a love movie, but it has become a classic because of two great actors." This is the beginning of Daisy's personal afterthought. In the article, Daisy analyzed the entire movie in detail - and then Or, to be more precise, analyze the connection between Cage and the theme of reincarnation.

In Daisy's words, she emphasized that the whole movie is not a simple upgrade of monsters, nor is it a vulgar routine to save the world, but "reincarnation". In the killings, the deaths and the partings again and again, just like the classic reincarnation movie "Groundhog Day",

The movie finally settled on Cage's body.

Witnessing the death of his comrades and the passing of life, Cage has experienced a bumpy and difficult growth process, from facing the war squarely to shouldering the mission, and then to suffering, he has experienced too many deaths, watching helplessly. With his comrades sacrificed again and again, that kind of torment and torture is like purgatory.

Separation of life and death is always the most difficult proposition in the world to decipher. Similarly, war is also a vicious circle in which human beings keep strangling themselves. Cage, who was trapped in reincarnation, was exhausted physically and mentally, covered with bruises and wounds, and even his soul was covered with shackles, and his steps became heavier and more difficult.

"Cage is like a wandering soul floating in the reincarnation space, lonely, helpless, dazed, painful, tormented; and Rita, this is the only person who can understand her, two scarred souls, they are each other The only reliance is the only hope for each other.

At the end of the movie, Cage met Rita again, and that eye contact did everything, the whole movie became complete, and Cage became full. The meeting of fate, the fate of reincarnation, finally met each other again. So poetic, so beautiful, and so grand.

About fate, about fate, and the reincarnation with oriental charm, this is undoubtedly the core theme of the whole film, and it is also an important factor that distinguishes the film from most Hollywood popcorn commercial films. Under the filling of friendship and love, Long and majestic, it is desirable. "

In the article, Daisy emphasized that the footage of this invisible branch is limited in length, but under the excellent interpretation of the two actors, it has become the biggest contributor to the integrity of the story.

"Especially Renly Hall. The young actor, who revealed the delicacy and profoundness in his performance, is rich in layers and intricate, and immersed himself in the story meticulously. The performance is full of endless lingering rhythm, and just with the look of the final scene, this commercial film is enough to earn a Golden Globe nomination.

In addition, at the moment of Cage and Rita's parting, Rita revealed her middle name for the first time. At that moment, Cage's eyes once again awakened the classic moment in the ninth episode of the 'Pacific War'. Er's light-lifting performance really lit up the big screen. "

Every sentence, every word, deeply reveals Daisy's excitement and excitement. At the end of the article, Daisy said again, "This is not only my personal favorite movie since 2012; My personal favorite romance movie since Titanic. Although, Warner Bros. officially defines it as a sci-fi war movie."

This article was posted on Daisy's personal Facebook and marked "Spoilers". It is strongly recommended that viewers who have not watched the movie, and those who are afraid of spoilers, go into the cinema and watch the movie before reading it; Nonetheless, the article went viral on the Internet.

After the premiere of "Edge of Tomorrow" ended, the social network immediately exploded, about the sci-fi black tunnel, about the red carpet of the battlefield simulation, about the interview site without barriers, about the limited-edition peripherals The product, and of course, about my thoughts after attending the premiere...

This is only Twitter's statistics, excluding Facebook and photo walls. and tubing, etc. It really made people realize what it means to be "hot on the watch".

In the midst of this, it’s no surprise that Daisy Lucas’ tweets were submerged in a flood of data in the blink of an eye.

But the magic is that these three tweets gradually began to spread, like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. Everyone is amazed at the same thing -

"What? This is a love movie? Are you kidding me?"

"Wait, did you go to the wrong premiere? Go next door to 'Madagascar 3'? But, no, when did 'Madagascar 3' start dating?"

"Am I misunderstood, this is not 'Edge of Tomorrow', but another movie? Why does it feel like the style of the painting is wrong?"

In the early publicity, "Edge of Tomorrow" was promoted as a sci-fi war movie, but now some people claim that it is a love movie, and it is not just anyone, an officially certified "Vanity Fair" senior reporter , this is interesting, so everyone began to be curious.

Immediately afterwards, Daisy's article on her personal Facebook began to go viral.

Although it is said that Daisy's perspective takes a different approach; but it is undeniable that Daisy gave the story another way of interpretation, especially the interpretation of the theme of reincarnation, which is refreshing, which is an important part of the whole story of "Edge of Tomorrow" supplement.

Later in the campaign, Paul Greengrass and Renly Hall were personally questioned, to which Renly gave a positive answer.

"Every character in the movie is meaningful, and the story between Cage and them is also meaningful. In the original novel, this is a sad story, telling the profound and distant story of Eastern culture. The meaning of reincarnation; during the adaptation process, we have simplified and refined, but it is true, the connection between Cage and Rita is special and unique. So, I think, it is really interesting to read from different angles thing."

Renly's answer also sparked countless discussions on the Internet, and later sparked a frenzy of second and third viewings. However, that's all for later.

After the premiere, Daisy Lucas' personal review took center stage, and in a sense, it was a microcosm of the night.

For male audiences, the movie is an adrenaline-fueled sci-fi movie, with fantastic fights, high/climbing rhythms and charismatic characters. In addition to the fast pace, the reincarnation puzzle completed by the last eye makes people addicted and intoxicated, unable to extricate themselves.

They never thought that movies could be operated and promoted like this. Isn't this a waste of promotion opportunities? If they found this out early and hyped up Renly and Jennifer's affair, could the movie's premiere box office have made more breakthroughs? But now, it's clearly too late.

However, this still did not detract from the spread of "Edge of Tomorrow". In just a few hours, the film has successfully reached the top of the discussion list on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google and Yahoo communities. The top of the list has become the hot topic that all netizens are most concerned about.
