In fact, I also admit that the story of an Ender game is really easy to summarize. A genius boy was chosen as the savior of mankind to fight against the Zerg. , During the battle, he always thought that he was just playing a game, until he led mankind to victory, did he realize that he was deceived and became a sinner who exterminated a race. But if those famous novels that have touched many generations are summed up in a few sentences, is it really amazing? It was because of a condensed collection of famous novels in my childhood that I broke off the imagination of all famous novels until I picked up the original. The important thing is the process, the story needs the foreshadowing of details, and the characters need to be full of events. If you are just content to tell the story and make it clear, then the beauty of the middle will never be able to match the classic status of the original. I also wondered if my love for the original raised my expectations for this film, but I really don't think there's any need to rush it.
In my heart, Ender's game is almost the same weight as Harry Potter. It is a world that I could immerse myself in and dream in my childhood. Every time I think about it now, I can still feel the tremor of the cool wind that blew through my heart. They have almost become part of me. Maybe because of my age I read them more as coming-of-age novels, whether it's Ender or Harry, the inner monologue is all I love about them. However, Ender in the movie, a genius boy, how many people know in his heart, the sloppy handling of the story is like a cartoon exaggeration, and when he helped Alai's counterattack in class, everyone surrounded Ender; once he became a flying dragon The captain of the team, the sergeant who had originally asserted that Ender would never become a commander, salutes him (please, do you think this is a world of personal heroism that doesn't require transition at all?). What makes me want to complain the most is about the appearance of Ender's "love your enemy", I think if it can't be fully expressed, don't put it on the screen as a gist, the whole movie except for the final part after the victory of the battle. Graff mentioned it once (it's Maze Lehan), and there is a little bit of other reflections, even the elementary school writing teacher will guide you to point out the questions everywhere. Commanding the campaign is so handsome, without heart, just empty air.
Let’s talk about other characters. When I was in middle school, I once asked my friends to call me Valentine. In fact, it was not because I liked Valentine so much, but I just wanted to express my envy for what she and Peter did. The quality of being kind and gentle will always greatly diminish a person's attractiveness, because they don't have too many surprises and little depth. Relatively speaking, I prefer to call myself Peter, but unfortunately I am not a boy. This shows how much Peter and Valentine's activities moved me as a sideline of the story. This is almost the whole wish of a child who is powerless in the face of the world: "I know more truth than adults, and can even manipulate and admit the direction of the world." I know that Peter's appearance in the film is only to be a tyrannical Andrew. Nightmare, but only after a few hits, where can I reflect the shadow that Peter can bring? In the film, Ender fights with people several times, and they are all handled in a very gentle way. I won't talk about how you show me a cruel youth. At least it should reach the strength of artistic expression, right?
Douzi and Alaiben are not the main characters, it's just that they didn't speak well. I only started to pay attention to Douzibien after reading Ender's Shadow. But I was surprised, I didn't even know the two of them clearly in the film. Ordinarily, the less inked the characters, the more prominent their characteristics should be. The alert, mature, young genius Bean and the mature, elder help Ender. Lai should be able to see it at a glance from the actor selection (since he doesn't force the character).
And my tomboy Petra, she's a shadow of a Bean rival of the Overlord (I get it, Petra's Overlord is Achilles), in the movie, I barely see her and Warren There is any difference in Tee's character traits. From another perspective, Pecha, as a girl, is still so feminine in the military camp, and she wants to be Ender's helper. Do you think it is realistic? Pecha is proud, stubborn, and swears. Pecha, who is stronger than all the boys, is not the patient mentor of Ender, who stares at the beautiful eyes. In the part where the two were fighting each other, I almost thought the director wanted to make them Come to have a sister-in-law love. . .
Because science fiction and martial arts are my two favorite types of literature, I often wonder why Jin Yong’s works adapted from Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s have become classics in our hearts, far surpassing today’s mainland adaptations with star-studded, high-quality pictures and exquisite props Version. In the past, I can probably only say that the taste is different. Now I can probably say a little more. When the frame of the story remains unchanged, the characters are the final factor. The three-dimensional and full characters need moving details, contradictions and struggles in human nature, and finally detachment. We need to see A death from tedious sublimation to tragic death. These are what we need, and also the direction that a literary work should strive for. There is no end to the special effects, depending on the special effects to enrich the story, whether it is a superb feat or a cosmic epic, no matter how amazing the effect is, no matter how grand the scene is, it’s all about discarding the root and the last.
