The purpose of this film is of course to explore religion and even attack it. I believe that atheists will find it very powerful to watch this movie, especially people who are seriously disgusted with religion like me. First, there are many gods, which god should we believe in? Second, why is God so cruel to his people, us? Third, it is better to save oneself than to seek relief from an ethereal god. PK said that their planet's solution to their troubles is to dance. In my opinion, this is Dionysian belief. Not that you believe in this god, but entertainment, music and dancing, alcohol and marijuana, to numb yourself. Because the world is unknowable, both are useless. But I prefer to choose the latter, because belief is too ignorant and weak. In the movie, the God of the Creator is given. Because of the unknown, all philosophically speaking, the Creator exists, but it is impossible to believe in the Creator. Relying on the Creator to solve human suffering is even more joking, so the argument in the film may be aimed at religious believers. A reasonable explanation for the change of mind, but for atheists, it is also a compromise and a step backward.
In fact, I am not interested in discussing such social propositions. I believe that the audience watching the film (at least I do) may think about or lament the exploration of social humanity in the film, but it is more concerned with a perceptible story. There are only so many propositions. The thinking of ordinary people and masters of philosophy is almost a few hundred years old. No matter how movies or literary works are expressed, there will be no greater depth and novelty. However, if it can find a good and touching story, the film will succeed. In this film, the exploration of religion is put on the aliens who want to go home. It is boring to explore religion, but if it is to work hard to return home, it will be easier to substitute and move more easily, and this exploration also has meaning. The love in the film is also the embodiment of religious brainwashing and anti-religion.
The love that echoes from the beginning to the end, the beautiful beginning came to an abrupt end, and the mystery was solved in just a few minutes near the end. More importantly, this is not only the success of love, but also a powerful counterattack against the harmfulness of religion, making this happy reunion. More valuable and thick. At the same time, love is also the embodiment of the commercial entertainment of the film. As long as it is not a special type of movie, a love story is often put in it to increase the commercial focus and enrich the content of the movie (even the war theme of "Wolf Warrior" has a few minutes of love scenes, which shows that love is the best business. motif).
In the end, aside from the religious thrusts and love concoctions, I think what makes this movie, that is, features, is his alien-looking earth idea. This has to make me think of the recent popular Fudan University plagiarism of the Tokyo University promotional video, the same idea. Just like what Jia Gu said in the movie, people like new things (wrong numbers), re-examine the behaviors, habits, beliefs and culture that people are accustomed to in the local society from the perspective of aliens, and use novel and interesting ways to make everyone think again. Talk about a great idea. Looking at local culture from an outsider's perspective should be an idea that has already been done. Although I can't give an example, I believe there will be a lot of them. In fact, it is enough to reverse the use of road films such as "Thailand". This is a little creative with an alien perspective. Imagine if you use a foreigner's perspective, in addition to not being able to show all religions (the director's ambition here is quite big, not only for the cause but also for the earth), in fact, there won't be much change on the whole, but the alien's perspective is more There are gimmicks and appeal. For example, a spaceship with special effects of fifty cents in this film can add a fantasy label to the type, why not. What's more, at the end, you can look up at the stars and experience the romantic feeling of the farthest distance in the world. In this way, at the end, PK brought a group of alien partners back to Earth, which is simply unfinished! ! !
Finally, Jiagu with short hair is so beautiful!
