A 327-page science fiction novel is equivalent to a 114-minute movie. It is not easy to achieve this, so when I read this book from the original book as a person with a brief introduction to the original book The adapted movie "Ender's Game", although it doesn't seem to be a big problem in general, there is always a feeling that the fast-forward button is pressed, the compressed Ender, this should have been a trilogy story .
Human beings are facing the crisis of Zerg. This beginning feels a bit like "Starship Troopers". If you think so, then you are very wrong. There are no ugly Zerg in the movie, and there are no disgusting human insects. The Great War, "Ender's Game", as a teen-themed movie, focuses more on the portrayal of the soul of Ender, a teenage genius character, but this is the way I personally feel makes this movie The unbalanced plot in the first half does not mean that the plot is too long-winded, but that there are too many branch lines, family affection, friendship, isolated indifference, and the support of teachers. Ender faces different and diverse problems in the movie Spiritual journey, but the film is limited in space, every relationship is just a touch of water, passing by, many plots are only shallow tastes, the film lacks the depiction of the delicate and deep-level characters' souls, the most typical example, the game of mind played on the pad in the play, But it became the final turning point of the movie Ender. I personally feel that if there is a more detailed description here, the final turning point in the ending may not make me feel so far-fetched. It needs a huge world view and story, but there is not enough space to show it all. In fact, it is very good to be able to shoot like this.
The film began to get better in the second half of the film. The first half of the film's depiction of Ender's soul began to resonate with me. Ender is a person who will not do anything until the end. The first time I started, it was just because of helplessness. The spirit of "I don't make mistakes", sincerely face friendship and others, and have a high IQ. With Butterfield's handsome face, he is a standard three-good boy no matter what, so when he finally knew that the game simulation was the real final battle, Ender did not hesitate to sacrifice the fighting style of more than a thousand teammates and win the entire Zerg extinction. The practice of the war began to suffer in his heart. When the teacher praised him as a hero, Ender couldn't face everything he did, because it was contrary to his outlook on life. The movie made the audience come to the end at the end. After an absolutely explosive ultimate battle of the universe, it did not end with the victory of mankind. The film's foothold is still against war and the exploration of human nature. Such an ending makes this film different from the previous ones. Echoing the spiritual foreshadowing of the character Ender, the film achieves the unity of the front and the back in terms of content. This is definitely not a "children's science fiction film" as some people say. On the contrary, in terms of content, it is compared with many brainless special effects science fiction. I think it's a rare success.
One day, my young self led a huge cosmic fleet to fight against evil forces in a cosmic war, and finally became a hero admired by all. Although this dream is so unrealistic, it has to be said that it will make every boy like this. Fascinated, maybe this is the reason why "Ender's Game" can be sold so much, but what is valuable is that the film at the end shows a kind of positive energy against war and full of respect for life, which is what I really like to identify with. The biggest reason for the movie. (Reprint must indicate: the original author Mengli Poetry Book)
