I read online reviews that the original novel is awesome, I believe it. Because it is obvious that the movie is catching up with the progress of the original work, the rhythm makes people feel that the development is too fast, and there is no time to craft the plot and characters, so it has to be made into a running account. feel. It can be said that the first half is boiled water, the second half is a bit interesting, and the last part can be said.
The debate over the concepts of "others must have different hearts" and "interstellar universal humanitarianism"... It makes the movie more compelling, but I don't think there's anything to argue about... The
so-called humanitarianism is to use one's own Love to save others, to see others suffer and feel empathy, so I advocate to treat everyone kindly and give everyone the same natural human rights. When this idea of humanity extends to animals and nature, there is animal protectionism and environmentalism.
But the problem is that the starting point of "humanism" from beginning to end must be human beings, and any "ism" must ultimately serve the fundamental goal of "humanity", which is beyond doubt.
Being kind to animals and nature can make human life better, so being kind is right; what about aliens? When they invaded, 10 million humans died. Do you want to pay for this blood debt? They have been huddled on the home planet for 50 years, and they want to kill them all, or do they believe that they have extinguished their aggression hearts, have no threat, and live together peacefully from now on?
In fact, this does not need to be mixed with sensibility, but only needs to weigh the pros and cons rationally:
if not kill, will they be a threat, and are they worth believing? Get an expert to do the assessment.
Kill, do we have the ability, if we don't cut the grass and root, will there be revenge in the more distant future? What is the risk to reward ratio?
Therefore, the so-called "interstellar" humanitarianism is simply a joke. Because the Zerg are not humans at all, nor are they "humanoid" creatures, there is no need to "empathize" the concept of humanity to them.
The reason why humans are so friendly to animals is because animals are not a threat to the top position of human beings in the food chain today. No matter how humane is advocated, humans and animals are not an equal relationship.
Regarding the actors, the protagonist Asa has actually acted in many films, but to be honest, the performance is still a bit jerky. He is suitable for a freak-type weirdo-type role. The performances of Ender in the early stage and Ender after he became a leader suddenly changed the two styles. It can be said that he did not grasp it very well.
What I have to say is that for physical movements, such as a few close combat scenes, Asa's performance is really weak and stiff, like a two-person game in gym class, not a real fight. Asa's physique is also too thin, and it's really hard to convince the audience that Ender is someone who has "experienced a lot of battles" and "the first in combat"... (In fact, all the fight scenes in it are very Bad, I guess the director forgot to ask for a martial arts instructor)
But Asa's ability to control facial expressions is still very good. At the beginning of the film, the protagonist has just ascended into space. The expression change is really superb. And Asa's eyes are very beautiful! I like to see his eyes close-up the most~
Regarding the characterization, I am actually quite confused. Ender is aggressive and rebellious. He has foreshadowed so many ruthless foreshadowings against the enemy, and finally he shows that he is sensitive and kind to the enemy... So what is he thinking? ∑(° △°|||)
I think this is not called "the complex and multifaceted human nature", but "the director's failure". Because although human nature is complex, it still has a unified side, and Ender's character is confusing, obviously a failure to shape. In fact, it can be understood that the time for running the plot is so fast, where is the opportunity to carve the full personality of the protagonist?
