iBoy

After Tom got a shot in his head, some of his smart phone fragments have been embedded in his head. This gave him the ability of hacking any electron simply by his thought. He could not live in a normal way again, and his decided to be a hacker named iBoy, who tried to carry out revenge and end the crime.

The director set up the film with a proper environment. Characters lived in old blocks. Old blocks was a symbol of poor and crimes in many movies. There was noisy and screaming when the main character Tom was sitting in front of his laptop at the very beginning of the film. This shadowed the unpeaceful of the block.

The main actor acted pretty well to portray Tom’s character. In the beginning, Tom always walked with his head down, which indicated he was not strong and kind of coward. When he came to visit Lucy, the girl who he liked, he found someone was carrying out a crime on her. He choice to leave, which might be a correct decision when facing with criminals with gun.

After he recovered from the gunshot, he came to visit Lucy. In the elevator, he met with his classmate Eugene. Eugene was chewing gum and holding a toothpick in his mouth.He leaked his back on the wall with his head aslant and mouth up. He talked to Tom with a tone of sarcasm and smile unkindly. Eugene had an unfriendly appearance which was a reflection of his inner side.  Tom was not dare to say much whenever he met with Eugene and other people who raped Lucy. His speechless reflected his cowardice.

Lucy was a nice and kind girl in the movie. She had a confident and happy smile before she was raped. She conveyed a outgoing school girls to the audience. Even after the crime, she still presented her beautiful smile to Tom and never blamed for Tom’s leaving . But her eyes were not as bright as they used to be. She used her eyes to deliver her sadness to the audience. When she was carrying a gun against rapers, who grew up with her, she changed her facial expression to a determined looking. But her kindness stopped her from killing these people.  

The director used low angles and high angles shot throughout the movie to depict the character. The director used low angles shot when Tom was standing in somewhere, watching the criminals, and using his special ability. The low angle shot made Tom strong and powerful. Eugene had supervisors. In his supervisor's’ house, Tom found a lot of drug. Tom hided these drugs in rapers’ house and called the police. In the scenes of catching people who had drugs in house, the director used high angles shot. Shooting from the sky, Eugene and other people ran like rat in the street. The high angles shot made them weaker.

In all, I think this movie was a good example for me to study the acting. These characters were vivid, and the performers’ performances were good.
