"Half the Sky", come on!

The most successful female "Laura" in the game adaptation of "Tomb Raider: Origins", the change of Laura's avatar represents the continuous recognition of women's rights and interests in the secular society. Laura has gone from the big breasts, shorts, and S shape of the past to today's refined, inspirational, and smart. The implication behind it is that women in today's society should not make compromises and act as "vases". More through their own efforts to prove their worth to the society. The "liberation" of women's consciousness is also impacting the social system that has been dominated by "patriarchal society" for thousands of years. Although women's rights and interests will encounter many obstacles, I believe that in the foreseeable future, women will certainly have own "half the sky". After watching: As a normal male, I still like the "Angelina Jolie" version of "Tomb Raider".

    Laura is restored to her place, and her hands will tremble from the beginning to the "self-propelled battery" in the future. The theme of this generation is growth!

    One and a half stars, using the elements of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" to shuttle in the "Laura Development Chapter" of "Dragon Hunting". Except for Laura, all other characters are functional foils; the legend of Himiko lacks Japanese characteristics, lacks puzzle solving skills when passing the level, and some of the ancient tombs are routine. The plot and non-English dialogue are superficially handled, especially the imagination of Hong Kong as a fishing village is outdated. Only individual details can satisfy the imagination of game fans. Hope to continue to push down remakes.

Tomb Raider quotes

  • [first lines]

    Lord Richard Croft: May 17th, 2009. Further research on Himiko. According to legend, Himiko, the first queen of Japan was a powerful sorceress who ruled the empire through dark magic. Spreading death and destruction by the mere touch of her hand. She was only stopped by a single twist of fate. An army of her own generals bound and dragged Himiko to an uninhabitable island in the middle of the treacherous Devil's Sea. There she remains entombed beneath the mountains. I found a spec, on an old map that no one else has. And she is there. Waiting to be unleashed. I have to get there first. Even if it means doing the last thing I'd ever want to do. Leaving my Lara behind.

  • Lara Croft: [pointing at an island on the map] It's the one!

    Lu Ren: That's right in the middle of the Devil's Sea. You might as well tie a stone to yourself and jump off the boat now.

    Lara Croft: It will be an adventure!

    Lu Ren: Death is not an adventure.
