At the same time, I don’t know if Disney is too optimistic about the market, or if it just likes to attract gold. When the film was released, it was faced with a “big barrel” popcorn movie.
Okay, I'll start with spoilers:
The film is set in a utopian city created in a parallel world by elites on Earth to escape bureaucratic interference. While creating "tomorrow", "Tomorrow's World" also uses intelligent robots to recruit new members on the earth based on inventions, IQ test scores and ideas.
The main characters in the film are David (Hugh Laurie) who represents "reason", Frank (George Clooney/Thomas Robinson) who represents "creativity", and Casey (Cloth) who represents "rebellion". Ritney Robertson), and Athena (Rafe Cassidy) who represents "life".
Of course, they all have the right "values" and "ideals". Therefore, there are no bad guys in this film. From the perspective of each character, their actions are understandable for the impact on human beings. And if I have to single out the film’s evil, it’s the bureaucracy that doesn’t exist in Tomorrowland.
So the story actually goes like this -
ideals outweigh practical achievements, and that's the downside of creativity. So rationality rejects creativity because only ideal creativity brings unstable value. However, life knows that what the future needs is not only rational ideals, but also creative ideals, so it insists on the addition of creativity.
And when creativity leads reason to see the future, when creativity and reason face the cruel scene of doomsday together, reason overcomes and expels creativity, chooses the conventional way of confrontation, and chooses to compromise when confronted with the result of confrontation failure and a natural ending.
But life does not want to admit defeat, life still wants to continue. So life comes to have ideal rebellion. Therefore, the rebellion and creativity that refuse to admit defeat and choose to give up after disgusting to follow the rules together defeat reason and save the future.
Although life lost its body because of persistence, it continued the pursuit of life in a more prosperous way.
Of course, these life, creativity, and reason are all made up by me, because according to this way of interpretation - life is to choose to be rebellious, to love creativity, and not to follow the guidance of reason...
The film tells the story of Athena 's Different role choices show the choice problems a person faces at different stages - such as whether he faced a rational and stable road when he was young, or the ideal of "flying", which is very beautiful but extremely easy to "fail because of problems with the device" When I was about to become an adult, I was faced with "father insisted on ideals but faced unemployment", should I accept compromise, or should I continue to question and explore, rebellious unwilling to admit defeat; after middle age, should I remain anonymous in the face of cruel reality, or should I be the same as my childhood ideal and rebelliousness? The rebellion of the boyhood continued to fight together.
The spoiler is over, and I start to complain:
the film is assumed to be based on a utopian basis, but it is the depression and inefficiency of the real society that contrasts with the "tomorrowland" of the theme playground with blue sky and white clouds and endless wheat fields.
Although the film does not have exaggerated descriptions like dystopian books, when David talks about the spread of phenomena in books such as "1984" in the real society, the film depicts various views in the real society in the first half. The seemingly normal phenomenon has become the most abnormal existence - the lack of innovation and scripted education in education, the unemployment crisis of the elite, the procrastination and inefficiency of law enforcement and social supervision departments... Even we can describe Casey's father from the side of the film. The life of an ideal and capable scientist under a system, and Kathy's younger brother's character of disregarding objective facts (baby blanket) and habitually believing in authority (father said this is good for him), and the geographical location of "Tomorrow's World" in reality. In the barren situation, one can glimpse the contrast between reality and ideals in the screenwriter's writings, and the growth path of the ideal ordinary people and the ideal and creative elite group.
At this time, "tomorrow's world" without government and bureaucracy has become the best form of utopia.
But unfortunately, the screenwriters of the film devoted most of their energy to complaining about the real world, and painted "Tomorrow's World" as an autocratic monarchy.
The source of the problem is the resource. Tomorrowland is a world where human creativity is brought to life through robotic labor. But if we discuss the issue of energy and resource consumption, the relationship between the labor consumption and energy consumption of intelligent robots and the value return it brings needs to be questioned.
On the basis of such vague conditions, even before the emergence of robots, the problems of dominance and resource competition encountered in the process of manufacturing robots are obviously no less than those in the real society. And when the robot appeared, everyone who entered "Tomorrow's World" had their own robot to do their own thing.
Therefore, the screenwriter did not describe the management model of "Tomorrowland" in detail, but directly set the resources to maximize, and set everyone in "Tomorrowland" to an ideal-driven production state, and even described Frank and his group entering the state at the end. In "Tomorrowland", David wrote "Tomorrowland" as the only human being in "Tomorrowland" - so as to avoid discussing the management of this world - but when I see an absolutely rational and idealized leader commanding the entire world of robots , I guess even if David is absolutely right, this is a dictatorship.
Especially in the film, David instructed robots to hunt down robots and humans, and even shoot humans in order to insist on his own ideas, and finally sees the possibility of future changes but still refuses to accept the opinions of others. It is a manifestation of dictatorship. .
And most importantly, Athena, who is a robot, has emotions. This society based on robots is essentially the same as the composition of real society.
PS: In addition to the fairy-tale handling at the end of the film, I also think that the way of explaining David's right wrist controller really makes me uncomfortable - after all, David's dominant hand is the right hand, and the controller is only worn on the right hand to explain the controller when shaking hands. ...the use of this lens is contrived.
