Brilliant.
Rasa macam satu jenayah movie ni tak direlease di wide screen. dengan cinematography yang cun gila dan score yang mengancam tapi hanya boleh ditonton tv.
ada feel arrival walaupon totally different movie.
I just wish more time in The Schimmer. It's a world that worth exploring more.
unexplained exploration from lena herself. aku pun tgk tatau nak terangkan cam ne..cume alien tu mirror perbuatan kita. sedih masa tgk kane mati kene the schimmer tu.
movie science fiction kan..byk mengarut..tapi ni unexplained...
same dengan the cloverfield paradox..bagi aku mengarut. dah tau tu alien, p caye lagi..
ok manja baru habis tgk movie ni...confusing jgk la..tp mcm ade faham skit2...mungkin sbb manja suke tgk reviews youtuber movie critics kot tu yg bleh paham skit2..
at same time skrg ni baru la manja bleh paham2 skit..psl genre Sci-Fi movies yg baru2 kluar ni
mcm Ghost in The Shell, Blade Runner..b4 this mmg x minat genre ni sbb x paham...tp skrg rs mcm fascinating pulak
first of all my question is Kenapa tak guna Drown je Masuk kat situ....kan senang?
ni tak, dah tau mission2 yg lain sblum ni semua gagal..masih nak hantar org jgk ke sana?...
ni info copy paste manja
Annihilation is a women-on-a-mission film — a five-strong team, each member with a different skill set (a biologist, a physicist, a geologist, a paramedic and a psychologist), are sent to investigate a meteor that’s causing a strange phenomenon in an area of Florida. But that’s far from all it is. Taking that throwaway premise, writer and director Alex Garland (loosely adapting a novel by Jeff VanderMeer) has crafted a film that tackles such weighty and sensitive issues as depression, grief and the human propensity for self-destruction.
Natalie Portman is Lena — a college biology professor mourning her husband Kane (Oscar Isaac), a soldier who’s missing-presumed-KIA. Then, nearly a year after he disappeared, he suddenly returns but with no memory of what happened to him and his health rapidly deteriorating. Kane slips into a coma and the pair are taken to a military compound in Florida where Lena discovers he was part of a team sent to investigate “Area X” — an expanding region of swampland surrounded by visible “shimmer”. Of the multiple squads sent in, Kane is the only person to ever return. Wanting to better understand what happened to him, Lena volunteers for the next mission.
What’s immediately notable about Annihilation is the make-up of the squad — it’s all female. The film doesn’t make an issue of gender beyond the odd line of dialogue (referencing the multiple all-male squads that failed), but given the prevailing mood in Hollywood, its timing is impeccable. And none of the five are short-changed — no-one gets lost in the group, and each one gets a backstory that goes some way to explaining why they’d sign up for what’s likely to be a suicide mission. Tessa Thompson especially, as self-harming physicist Josie, gives a nuanced, quietly heartbreaking performance that’s a world away from the badass warrior of Thor: Ragnarok.
If the early moments of the film evoke memories of similarly cerebral sci-fi Arrival, as soon as they’re inside Area X, Garland starts to bring in other genres and influences — mutated beasts roam the swamps, twisted human remains hide in the shadows and the squad members’ trust for each other is stretched to its limits. It’s not a horror movie, as such, but Garland cranks up the terror and tension as the group ventures closer to its goal — a meteor impact crater at a lighthouse that’s the central point of all the weirdness.
ok skrg manja cube explain ape yg manja paham...sbb kalau kite x paham mmg citer ni jadi x best & boring...
1stly nak kata i might be wrong...tp ade kemungkinan ade kebetulan...jgk kot..
1- Alien/Android face to face dgn Natalie ( part nak ending tu)
Alien tu pd manja sebenarnye ialah metaphor utk AI, kemajuan sains & teknologi, the digital age, segala gadgets yg kite guna skrg mcm laptop, smartphone, internet...
U all know kite x leh hidup sehari pun tanpa guna smartphone ke laptop in all aspects of our lives. even dlm bidang kerjaya skrg ni korang bleh x keje tanpa guna laptop or internet???....
Pagi2 bgn tdo je kite check ape? handphone kan? kat ofis ngadap laptop..lunch time ngadap hp lagi..mmg manusia & gadgets ni semua berpisah tiada zaman skrg ni..
So that's why alien/android tu mirroring Natalie...mcm Nat tgk cermin tgk diri die, ...all the time kite guna internet ni semua utk diri kite sndiri, social media, youtube videos..search tentang ape yg kite minat.. history yg kat search engine to semua terkumpul..all this is very personal iinformation about U! google yahoo simpan kan history ni semua?...U are looking at U,it's all about U.. youtube akan rekomen videos yg u minat or slalu suke tgk...cth manja minat movies..akan search about movies..tgk trailer..segala...movie online..Kalau manja sakit diebetes, search info psl diebetes....kalau manja nak gi travel ke Paris..search psl Paris...the list goes on..
That is our way of life now....it's like manusia hidup dlm alam realiti..tp pd masa yg same hidup dlm alam maya....That is the Science behind the fiction.....something like that la..
ending die quite simple actually...manja pun x terfikir..psl ni...ahahahkalau x nak tgk interview watak Nat & Oscar as suami isteri yg telah melalui sesuatu yg tragik dlm hidup..
ending die pd wajah Nat & Oscar x same mcm dulu..mata they all nampak lain mcm metaphor pd jiwa yg dah berubah setelah menghadapi dugaan/tragedi/kepayahan/kehilangan etc...You become a different person as you were before that experience..
movie sci fiction cam gini memang tak semua boleh hadam ...
thanks u..masa i post tu i was like..ntah2 nnt u all ingat i ni mengarut je...
i was like..i don't care ..terpulang la kan persepsi masing2..x salah pun nak watch and take it as entertainment sj..
u dah tgk 'black mirror' netflix series x?....nampak mcm menarik. tp i x tau bleh hadam ke x.. die org kata mcm Twiglight Zone versi moden.
so skrg i nak continue..
Annihilation tu maksudnye :1-complete destruction or obliteration.
2-(in physics) the conversion of matter into energy, especially the mutual conversion of a particle and an antiparticle into electromagnetic radiation (whatever that means )
Ape2 binatang flora segala mahkluk dlm bubble The Shimmer tu la yg bertukar bergabung dgn spesis yg lain. cth pokok bunga gabung dgn dna manusia, alligator + shark...etc...
Lets talk about the characters...pulak..i just nak fokus pd 5org ni
1- Nat/Lena (the Biologist)
2- Oscar/Kane (the Soldier)
3- Jen/ Dr Ventress (the Psycholgist)
4- Gina/Anya (the Paramedic)
5- Tessa/Josie (the Physicist)
writer and directorAlex Garland (loosely adapting a novel by Jeff VanderMeer) has crafted a film that tackles such weighty and sensitive issues as depression, grief and the human propensity for self-destruction.
Nat /Lena & Oscar/Kane
Lena griefing sbb kehilangan Kane, at same time rs bersalah sbb ade affair dgn David yg akhirnye Kane dpt tahu psl t affair.
Lena volunteer join team Dr Ventress sbb nak cari Kane. Masalahnye Lena & Kane ni x pernah nak bersemuka or berbincang psl masalah rumah tangga die org ni. Dua2 pihak mkn dalam je to the point when it's too late. Sbb Nat dah griefing, Kane pulak bunuh diri. Tp Lena mungkin jgk rs bersalah cause of she said " I owe him".
so dlm kes Lena & Kane..mula2 bahagia..tp ntah mcm mana akhirnye dua2 org ni self-destruct...luaran nampak mcm semuanye ok for Lena cause she has a well respected carrier...but on the inside griefing for loosing Kane & rs bersalah tu kot...
cite ni basicly about self-destruction is also about ambiguity, paradox. 2 sides of the same coin. the good and the bad the strong and the weak,pleasure and pain. thats what make us human cause nobody is perfect people make mistakes. Living life is learning, Learing is Living. 2 maksud Annihilation..
on another note i feel like Lena might not be a religious person, does not have faith in God, sbb she had a conversation with Kane masa atas katil tu, saying something like " God made a mistake. Our cells should be immortal but God didn't make it that way"....
Gina/Anya & Tessa/Jodie
If i'm not mistaken Anya is alcoholic & a drug addict (an example of self-distruction), Jodie pulak i think she has depression and anxiety (ade scene yg Jodie freak out kat swimming pool tu yg die pegang pisau) sbb tu die suicidel (self-destruction),Depression and suicidel thoughts is like bffs.. tp at the same time Jodie xde family, xde kawan, xde bf or husband, she is all alone.
Yg menariknye Anya & Jodie ni are like opposites, sorg ganas (org yg mabukkan ttiber bleh jadi ganas) sorg gentle, sorg extrovert sorg introvert,...kan?..
And i rs Anya part yg die paranoid tu ingatkan team die yg bunuh prempuan yg kena makan dgn monster beruang tu is because of her drug addiction. kan dadah jenis ape yg buat u jadi paranoid eh?..
Jen/Dr Ventress
Dr Ven has cancer. Cancer another example of self-destruction? & rs tanggungjwb towards humanity so tu yg sanggup masuk the shimmer.
Mcm yg Anya kata "We are all damaged goods" pd Lena.
1 more thing kan masa Kane & team Dr Vens masuk The Shimmer die org jadi forgetful kan? x ingat ape dah,..scene yg Kane ttiber muncul dlm rumah naik jumpe Lena tp habuk pun x ingat..
i ade bc somewhere they say it's actually a mental illness called demensia...
a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning.
