I am optimistic about the male protagonist. I have noticed the male protagonist since "Hugo" and look forward to better performance in the future.
I haven't seen the original work, but I feel that the original author has very deep psychological knowledge. The film vision team and the overall team have visualized it well. The sci-fi background and visual settings are very complete, allowing people to sink into it. (When I watch it, I always think of the competition settings of the Face off special effects makeup artist. To be honest, I am very envious of the subdivision level of the foreign film industry)
The rhythm of the movie is not sloppy, there is no redundant commentary and deliberately slow down the pace, and at the beginning, it enters the important task of promoting the story-the global selection of the general commander of the war against the Zerg invasion. It is worth noting that whether it is why the male protagonist can become the "chosen person" or the final interpretation of the male protagonist's dream, they are all interpreted from a psychological perspective, setting the tone of humanistic care for the film.
Although the protagonists are a group of children, the grand sense of powerlessness brought about by the racial war is still vividly expressed. This sense of powerlessness has nothing to do with the toughness of human beings or the super-high ability of the male protagonist, but a kind of power based on human nature. A dilemma of compassion. Compassion, an indispensable trait of outstanding leaders, is often an inevitable source of suffering for those with great power. After the victory of the war, the male protagonist's questioning of Graf was angry but incomprehensible: victory is not the most important thing, but the way of victory is the most important. The male protagonist will forever live in the stigma of genocide and will be remembered as the murderer.
This kind of compassion is not uncommon in movies. As in "Sea King", after leading Atlantis to prosperity, the pursuit of power resulted in the race being almost destroyed. The old king, who felt guilty, chose to exile himself, sleeping in the trenches, guarding the trident, and waiting. A new king who can communicate between the two worlds appears.
Fortunately, at the end of this movie, the male protagonist and the Zerg Queen had a dialogue with their minds. He traveled in space to achieve the promised ending, which can lead the audience to think deeply.
Digression: The male protagonist's legs are really long. Just like the beauty special effects, he stared at his legs the whole time. Standing with Mazer Leihan, the male protagonist is a few centimeters shorter, but his legs are ten centimeters longer??
In addition, the cp of the male protagonist and the only female soldier in the team, Pecha, is out. I want to see more interactions! Of course, I'm also curious about how the bond between the male protagonist and his sister Valenti came to be. If it weren't for the blood relationship, this would be the only soulmate setting that would save and comfort the male protagonist. Looking forward to the follow up...
