After watching the trailer, I was expecting full marks. Later, I heard that this film was not rated well in Europe and America, so I watched it with the attitude of watching a six-point pass film. I didn’t expect it to be full of surprises. This is obviously a 9-point film, okay?
After the world was shuffled, two different ways of civilization development collided again. The old capitalist country Britain, representing the Western power of the new world, has become the leader of the predatory civilization: the giant machine monster London! In order to compete for limited resources and unlimited rights, he turned his attention to another direction of civilization development: the anti-traction force representing the new world oriental civilization. The anti-traction forces have the Armada fleet (unfortunately, they were shot down before they became powerful) and a high wall (the Great Wall?) that has never been breached. The way of life is settlement rather than plunder. Well, just based on this setting, I know why this movie is not rated well in the West. This movie seems to be a reflection on the capitalist world? In the end, the wall was broken, the careerist died, the London machine was blown up, and the plundering civilization and the wall civilization extended a friendly hand to each other.
The whole movie runs through several main lines: the main line of the male protagonist's pilot growth. This main line may be limited in length, weak, and worthless. The main line of the female protagonist's revenge, there is nothing to say, throughout, the showdown between justice and evil. The main line of the heroine's relationship with the adoptive father's undead, this line brings tears to my eyes, a powerful and strange life form, seems to be paving the way for the resurrection of the villain? The main line of the collision of Eastern and Western civilizations, this main line is quite interesting: The ethnic composition of the Wall civilization seems to be mainly the yellow people of the Chinese civilization, the black people and the South Asians represented by the Indian civilization. The London Machine, the representative of the plundering civilization, has a very small number of black and yellow people, and most of them are white, and no matter how they dress, they have a Nazi feel. The ordinary people in the London machine are extremely mentally retarded, and most of the time they only cheer and clap. , is this a deliberate insinuation of the real world? The Chinese "Flower of the Wind", the representative of Wall Civilization in the film, is not too cool. In today's mainstream culture, this setting of the film is actually a rather non-mainstream setting. In reality, Western civilization has always played the role of For those who are politically correct, Eastern civilization is a supplement and is often blackened. The movie turned out to be the opposite, which made me, a Chinese person, refreshing and cordial. It may also be the reason for this setting, this film is not rated very high in Europe and America.
Movie viewing experience: No urine spots, the soundtrack is magnificent and has a strong epic sense, and there are many shocking scenes in the film, such as Sky City, London Machine and so on. All in all, it's worth watching, you won't regret watching it.
