A thought-provoking intellectual film

The film mainly deduces the process of Will Smith (the officer) commanding his son (the trainee) to complete the mission on Earth. The trainee cooperates with the commander's order when starting the task, so the progress of the mission is relatively optimistic. During the period, the trainee violated the commander's order several times and almost When disaster strikes, and the students are surrounded by monsters because of the fear in their hearts (the monsters here are actually the embodiment of fear, as his father said: "Fear is never real, it only exists in our thoughts about the future, It’s a product of our imagination that makes us fear things that don’t exist now or even never exist, dangers do exist, but fear is a choice”). When the student's mission is halfway through, the commander announces his return due to the purifier (perhaps the commander's intentional test). At this time, the student breaks through the ego and the inner cowardice and fear in order to overcome the self and burst out with strong confidence. Plot From here onwards, students can make wise decisions on their own without the guidance of an officer. During the period, there was a link: when the student crossed the river to rest and relax on the self-made canoe, he appeared in a fantasy world and had a dialogue with the angel. During the dialogue, he got the angel's approval and guidance for his decision-making. At this time, the angel suddenly woke him up, and the students were obsessed with the scriptures they had studied, so they couldn't wait to recite those philosophies... Finally, the helpless angel turned into a mighty appearance and was able to wake him up and broke his Fa. execute. After crossing the shore, the student quickly found the transmitter requested by the supervisor, but it still could not be controlled. Then the supervisor told him that it was due to the interference of the ions (meaning ignorance). The students continued to move forward and experienced dangers in the process of climbing the mountain. In the last decisive battle with the monsters, they slowly experienced the realm of no self, no fear, and no hindrance. As a result, the monsters suddenly could not detect the existence of the students and finally Completely defeated the monsters, and got rid of the interference of ions, and successfully sent a signal to link to the parent body to complete the mission and save himself and his father. One action that runs through the whole film is that every time the mission reaches a certain stage, it must be filtered by air. Only then can we continue to move forward (the supervisor brought 6 vials when we set off, does it mean to purify the 6 roots? Haha), when the student couldn’t control his emotions and struggled in pain every time, his father ordered him to kneel on one knee, and he was in intense conflict. The struggling self forms an obvious contrast. This indescribable silent speech after kneeling may be something the students can appreciate... There is also a small detail that the officer recalled the action of blowing out the candle through the remote video, and his son cooperated with the scene to blow out the candle. Hidden is the tacit understanding between the father and son (a metaphor for the interaction process of the six sense organs governing the Buddha-nature). During the whole process, the commander cannot access the world of external devices, and can only see everything the students experience through the behind-the-scenes video. The commander told the students that I can see everything about you and what you can't, and guide you as if I were by your side. At the same time, he was given a sword, which reflects the great love of the officer's father. In the film, the commander's exhortation penetrates the heart and is thought-provoking. Personally think that this film hides wisdom behind the color and fragrance... Worth watching
