This movie could be better

As one of the series of movies, more important than the positive protagonist is to have a villain who can stand up. The biggest disadvantage of Beyond the Stars is that the image of the villain Edison is too thin, and there is no foreshadowing until his true identity is revealed. This greatly weakens the plot impact of "the historical hero of the federal government has fallen here". In addition, the film lacks sufficient explanation for Edison's blackening motives, making the tragic hero, who was like Onoda left behind by the times and lost in the dark universe, into a real clown. In fact, it is not difficult to solve the above problems, just add a few small details:

1. In the part of Kirk and the old bone drinking wine to find himself, let the old bone add a line "You have always used your father as an example, and Your father used to be an example of Captain Edison, the hero of federal history, and even bought a motorcycle of the same model as Captain Edison, until he found his true self." The car charging scene lays the groundwork and adds to Kirk's "I'm your father" impact when he discovers Edison's true face.

2. Add a statue of Captain Edison to the scene of the York Space City, and arrange for an alien teacher to lead a group of children to point to the statue's nose for a history lesson (the current version is that the alien teacher leads the children to lie on the road without knowing what to do ), which also paved the way for Ursula to recognize Edison in the video.

3. Admiral York and Kirk added a few lines when discussing Kirk's appointment as lieutenant admiral: "Captain Kirk, once you become a lieutenant admiral, you have to think about things from a higher level, and this may not be what you like. Yes. For example, York City under your feet is the latest frontier of the Commonwealth, and it is also the place where the legendary great Commonwealth hero Edison disappeared last, and there is still a statue of him here. But did you know that Captain Edison was originally a war hero, and his last The mission was not to go on a cosmic expedition as we advertised, but to find a weapon of mass destruction, and in the end Captain Edison disappeared into the nebula, and we achieved peace without finding a superweapon." Why did Captain Edison know how to use nanoweapons?

4. The following plot is supplemented by Franklin's log and Zyra's narrative: After Edison's Franklin crashed in the nebula, the crew discovered nanoweapons and learned the magic of attracting stars. As qualified soldiers who are loyal and loyal to the country, the crew unanimously decided to repair the antenna at any cost and send the information of nano-weapons back to Earth to win the war. So everyone volunteered to use the pyramid structure to continue their lives and buy time to repair the antenna. One hundred years later, Franklin's crew was sucked to Edison and the first mate, and the antenna was finally repaired. Edison turned on the TV with tears in his eyes and watched the news broadcast, and found that the earth and the Romro people had achieved peace... Looking at the corpses of his colleagues who had been sucked dry for centuries, Edison turned black. This also corresponds to the two lines Edison said to Ursula in the movie, "You are willing to sacrifice yourself to save the captain" and "Actually you don't understand the value of sacrifice".

5. The identity of Zyra is set as an aborigines. When Zyra appeared, the three victims were changed to villains, and the source of the villains was set to the local aborigines who were converted by the law of attracting stars, which explains why There will be life support in the Bee fighter.

6. Edison had been black all the way to the end and had to see God. "Black people are bad guys" is politically incorrect. It needs to be corrected and cleaned up: Edison finally saw his face in the mirror and the statue in the center of the square in the air passage. When a soldier's duty broke out, he resolutely changed his mind and changed his mind. He resolutely threw Keke out of the air duct, sacrificed himself, and rushed into space with a nano-killer. In the end, he turned into nothingness in the universe, leaving only a floating captain's badge.
