電影《艾莉塔：戰鬥天使》影評：Some Thoughts

It has been a long time since I wrote a movie review last time.

This time, I want to write something about Alita. I downloaded this movie a month ago, but I had not had time to watch it until the day before yesterday. I have to say, I love it.

The movie is adapted from a comic. Because of the limit of the length of the film, the movie only presents the beginning part of the comic. The story is about the self-awakening process of a cyborg girl named Alita. To be honest, the plot is nothing surprising. However, after watching the movie, I still immersed myself in the movie, couldn’t get my mind back from the film.

So, why this movie appeals me so much? The plot can’t be a reasonable explanation. How about the motif, or some deep meaning that the movie presents? I even didn’t think about that. I just love this movie, love the character Alita. When Alita says 「I do not stand by in the presence of evil」 I totally fall in love with this character. And I don’t think I need to give an explanation of why I am fond of these words. I am not a machine, like the scoring system of TOEFL named e-rater, which can find the grammar mistakes and whether you use logic conjunctions properly in your essay to give a score without any emotion. Not everything needs a reason.

Admittedly, the Alita does have some defects. However, if you want a perfect movie which has superb plots, has spectacular special effects, as well as a profound meaning, you had better to go to bed, rather than cinema. In your dreams, every needs can be satisfied.

Whether it can impress me is the my only criterion to judge a movie. And, obviously, the Alita did it.
