A sci-fi film, in the future, the human earth and the alien Zerg start a life-and-death battle. Humans once defeated the Zerg in the first war, but in this war, the Zerg must be completely defeated so that the human beings on earth will not be destroyed. Humans have chosen to lead this war with the brightest minds of teenagers, whose brains are better able to handle complex information processing. Viking, this young man, performed outstandingly in terms of intelligence, decisiveness and leadership, and was trained as a leader among a group of selected young people. But in the fight against the Zerg, when Viking led a group of people who thought it was a game, it destroyed the entire Zerg planet. Viking had deep unease in his heart, so in the Ender game, he communicated with the ant king of the Zerg through his mind, and promised to find another living planet in the universe for them to make up for his mistakes. The film gave me a novelty about the future world, but what attracted me more was Viking's leadership to his friends. Three of his problem-solving patterns are shown in the play: the first is when someone bullies him, he not only fights back to knock him down, but also continues to kick him. In his own words, he explained that knocking down is only the first step, and continuing to kick is to make those who bully him afraid and lose the courage and fighting spirit to beat him again. The second time was in a new group, when everyone isolated him, he won everyone's respect with his outstanding performance. The first is to say what everyone wants to say but dare not say, that is, to dare to resist the leader, which reflects courage; the second is that personal technology is superior to others, which reflects personal talent; the third is to play some small tricks to provoke yourself People who make a fool of themselves in public show conspiracy. Through these three moves, in the first team, Viking went from being isolated to becoming a hero, and quickly promoted. The third time was when he came to a more powerful team, and the team leader was a very self-righteous person who also suppressed Viking as much as possible. Viking first united a girl in the team who had a good impression of him, and then when the team leader humiliated him in public, he called the leader aside and told the leader that he was not a threat to the leader, and if he wanted to leave the team quickly , then let them participate in the activities, so as to show their incompetence and leave. He did this to preserve the dignity of the leader and to know what the leader wanted. In his own words, he was able to know what the other party wanted. On this team, he won his second promotion with his unexpected engagement in the fight. It was the fourth time he independently led a group of people who were extremely capable but did not obey discipline. What he did first was to change the rules in the original organization, such as newcomers sleeping outside and old people sleeping inside. When someone objected, he said it was his new rule. That The second time he stated that their mission as a team is to be a unique team. In the next duel with two other teams, he successfully used strategy to win and fulfilled his promise. Maybe it's because I've been focusing on the topic of leadership lately, so I saw this in the movie that touched me. It doesn't matter if you are a bull, the key is to lead a group of people together, that is the real bull. Of course, in addition to management, this film also reflects various personal emotions, such as fear, loneliness, family affection, and people's attitudes toward other species in the world.
