When the Americans sent two astronauts back to the moon one day in 2018 and discovered a huge Nazi base on the dark side of the moon, one was killed and the other was captured, and the captured black astronaut was immediately arrested and interrogated. , and bleached to white skin. After learning the general situation of the earth from the black population, Adler, the suave successor of the head of state, brought his girlfriend and a group of followers to the earth. After kidnapping the female director of the female presidential campaign of the United States, the Nazi theory actually attracted the other party deeply. It even became a presidential campaign speech. When the two were about to struggle, the head of state, who was eliminated, found out that during the quarrel, the female supervisor who was hiding on the side shot the head of state. Adler seized the opportunity, was instantly promoted to the head of state, and called on all the main battleships of the moon to attack the earth. A riot of UN officials is summoned by the female president to investigate what happened to an unnamed fleet. In the final unanimous pass, a counterattack must be launched. Regardless of the shape, size and function, all countries will send all kinds of spacecraft that can fly to the moon. After fighting in solidarity, the Nazi base was destroyed, and the moon also left a permanent gap mark. After the audience thought that it was a complete success and finished the subtitles, the camera came to the distant Mars, an asteroid that looked like a satellite isolated in the sky, maybe this is the introduction to the sequel.

Don't think of this film as a sci-fi film, this is not a film about the future, nor is it a film about a mysterious universe. As the 33-year-old lead singer of the Finnish Black Gold Band, the director of the film was just on a whim. When he was staying at home, he summoned three or five friends to make fun of and satirize with the focus of young people's favorite things-science fiction, animation, and video games. Just an American tycoon in today's power politics. For this small country living in a Nordic country whose citizens enjoy a very high standard of living, their high-quality life is not a gift from God, but is due to their different and extremely intelligent way of thinking. When people all over the world are shouting for the "free economy" advocated by Western society, and even fighting for the recognition of the Nobel Prize, the Finns have already cursed at the Nobel Prize Gala. The famous American economist Milton Friedman is a jerk of capitalism and told him to go back to the United States. It can be seen that Finnish people's thinking ability is already superhuman. They are not like most mediocre people who follow the crowd. Even when people all over the world think of things as "good", they will retain their own thinking. Just like the film, when people all over the world are intoxicated with American democracy and culture, the Finns once again pointed out to everyone that it is only a mere "emperor's new clothes" which is deceptive and even indistinguishable from the Nazi theory. Of course, if you don't understand the culture of hypocrisy, you won't have any fun in this film at all, and you will have a great sense of discomfort and think it's a distortion. Or if you have to focus on the quality of the trailer to compare this film, I just want to remind everyone kindly that I believe the trailer is a historical relic of the last century.
