A few days ago, the teachers took us to see a movie, “Abandoned City”. Abandoned City“ is a movie about garbage and recycling.

The movie “Abandoned City” was produced by Yi Zhiyan. “Abandoned City” is a movie about garbage. The main character of the movie, Xiao Shu, is a 16 year old teenager. He hates the world, he hates home, he hates school, and he hates the streets. He feels that he is a trash that no one wants. An accident leads him to Baggy, a red and white plastic bag. Baggy is the other main character of this movie. He lives in an abandoned city. There is a legend in their clan that if they defeat the armored car and go to the legendary place, the recycling station near Taipei 101 will no longer be unwanted garbage. If you go to that legendary place, you can become beautiful, useful and strong. Baggy has always dreamed of taking his people to that legendary place. Baggy often go to the ironclad car's territory to raid, but every time failed, but also a lot of dead plastic bags. So he hopes to use the power of small trees to help their people to go there. But I did not expect, but the little tree wants to stay in the abandoned city, do not want to leave. Not only did Little Tree not help Baggy, but he betrayed them. The little tree secretly to the city god, and iron armor car. But in the end, the little tree still helped the baggy they went to the legendary recycling station. Baggy also went to the legendary recycling plant as he wished.

The idea of the movie “Abandoned City” is not bad, but the feeling presented still needs to be changed. First of all, I think the lighting of this movie is actually not very good. Because sometimes in one scene its lights will be darker, and then the next scene suddenly the lights are very bright and flashing. This will actually make the audience's eyes very uncomfortable when watching. At least I think my eyes feel very comfortable when watching. There is also the look of the Baggy. Because Baggy does not have a face, so every time I see Baggy I do not know whether I see his front or back. The last is the yellow spray paint lady. In one of the movie scenes, her spray paint cover fell off. But then I don't know why the lid came back. I'm not quite sure why.

For the three small problems I just raised, I have some suggestions. Is the first point, the issue of lighting, I think in front of the scene is very dark when the next scene lights can also be dimmed some, that is, do not light a very dark, and then very bright. The second point, the front and back of the Baggy. I think you can give the baggy can draw a face, because the baggy front and back to grow the same, it is difficult to distinguish him from the front or the reverse. The third point, the cover of the spray paint lady. I think the director should show how the spray cap came back in the movie. Because I saw the cover back when I was a little shocked. So I think these points are the director can improve.

The idea of the movie “Abandoned City” is very good. In the movie, the garbage has the dream of being recycled. We can help the garbage to fulfill their dreams in our lives if we do the sorting. Let's do the sorting together and help the garbage to fulfill their dreams!

前幾天,老師們帶我們去看了一部電影,《廢棄之城》。《廢棄之城》是一部關於垃圾和回收的電影。

《廢棄之城》這部電影是由易智言導演製作的一部關於垃圾的電影。電影中男主角小樹是一名16歲的青少年。他討厭這個世界,討厭家,討厭學校,也討厭街頭。他覺得自己是一個沒有人要的垃圾。一次意外讓他認識了阿袋,一個紅白相間的塑膠袋。阿袋是這部電影的另一位男主角。他住在廢棄城中。在他們的族裡有一傳說,打敗鐵甲車,去到傳說中的那個地方,台北101附近的回收站就可以不再是沒人要的垃圾。去到那個傳說中的地方就可以變漂亮,變有用,變強壯。阿袋一直夢想著帶著他的族人去到那個傳說中的地方。阿袋常常去到鐵甲車的地盤去突襲,可每次都失敗,還死了很多的塑膠袋。因此他希望可以借助小樹的力量,來幫助他們的族人去到那裡。可沒想到,小樹卻想一直待在廢棄城中,不想離去。小樹不僅不幫助阿袋,還背叛他們。小樹偷偷告密給城隍爺,還有鐵甲車。但在最後小樹還是幫助了阿袋他們去到了傳說中的回收站。阿袋也如願到了傳說中的回收站。

《廢棄之城》這部電影的想法還不錯,但是呈現出來的感覺還是需要改進的。首先我覺得這部電影的燈光其實不是很好。因為有的時候在某個場景它的燈光會比較暗,然後下個場景突然之間燈光很亮很閃。這樣其實會讓觀眾看的時候眼睛很不舒服。至少我覺得我在看的時候,眼睛覺得不是很舒服。還有那個阿袋的樣子。因為阿袋沒有臉,所有我每次看到阿袋的時候我都不知道我看到的是他的正面還是背面。最後就是那個黃色的噴漆小姐。在有一個電影場景中,她的噴漆蓋掉下來了。可是後來不知道為什麼蓋子就回來了。我有點不太清楚為什麼。

對於我剛剛提出的三個小問題,我有一些建議。就是第一點,燈光的問題,我覺得在前面場景很暗的時候可以把下一個場景的燈光也調暗一些,就是不要燈光一下很暗,一下又很亮。第二點,阿袋的正面和反面。我覺得可以給阿袋可以畫一張臉,因為阿袋正面背面長得一樣,很難分辨他是正面還是反面。第三點,噴漆小姐的蓋子。我覺得導演應該要在電影中展示一下蓋子是怎麼回來的。因為我看到蓋子回來的時候,我有點嚇到。所以我認為這幾點是導演可以改善的。

《廢棄之城》這部電影的想法很不錯。電影中垃圾們有著想要被回收的夢想。我們可以在生活中幫助垃圾完成他們夢想,只要我們做分類。讓我們一起做分類,幫助垃圾們完成他們的夢想吧!
