When I saw such a small-cost "big scene" movie, I was somewhat delighted. It was rare that the level of special effects was still so online, which was touching. In fact, as we all know, there are too many sci-fi movies every year, but not many can really reach the passing line. For example, the classics like "City of Souls" or "Blade Runner" are even more valuable, and more are qualified. commercial popcorn, such as "Transformers", DC, Marvel, etc. It is true that these movies have their own special value, because you can't say that entertainment itself is not a value, otherwise, what are we going to work for to earn money?
The film industry in the United States is very mature, and a large number of sci-fi movies are produced every year. Of course, small-scale sci-fi movies usually mean a reputation of less than 4 points. Cost-effective works are usually not shown much at the level of film art, so it is rare that a work such as "Netherworld", which is likely to hit the street just by watching a movie name, gives a surprise under the careful care of Netflix the core topic of the film.
The reason for writing this film review is also because everyone is discussing logic and technology, but few people discuss war, and the rigor of logic and technology is important, but it is not the core topic of this film. Otherwise, is "Lovely Bones" going to scold to a new level in terms of being realistic and reasonable? As a carrier, whether it is technology or not, film is just a tool for expression. If it can be expressed well, then everyone knows that the world of "The Lord of the Rings" is full of shadows of reality.
"Netherworld" borrows a technological shell, and what it wants to express should naturally be anti-war.
"I don't know what weapons humans will use in the third world war, but for the fourth time, it should be stones and sticks." When the male protagonist's boss tried to persuade them to use their new black technology in the military, the male lead The Lord quotes Einstein's famous words. The male protagonist is a big man in the development of military equipment, but he is always an anti-war person at heart, because the original intention of all his inventions is "defensive", and the armed forces of the soldiers are his scientific and technological achievements, the purpose is to better protect the soldiers 's life.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the imaginary enemy of this film is Moldova or not. You can imagine the battlefield as Syria, or Iraq, Afghanistan, whichever one will do. The important thing is that most countries do not have the strength to fight against the armed forces of the old and the United States. Against the background of , the appearance of the ghost is the embodiment of the anti-war thought.
Because we are now living in a safe country with a strong government and army, it is difficult for us to experience what it is like to be devastated by the war, and it is difficult to feel what it is like to be destroyed and displaced, but we can at least learn from those news, videos, Feel this kind of sadness in the picture, because at least our predecessors have experienced that kind of despair, and it should be a kind of despair that has no choice but to pray to God. And which side is God on?
In the eyes of American soldiers, the guns, tanks, and fighter planes in their hands are miracles. This is just like what the old villain said before setting fire to the church in "The Brave Seven Dragons", in the United States, democracy is capitalism, and capitalism is God. Then on the battlefield, it can probably be understood that the weapon in his hand is God, so in Lao Mei's view, God is on their side. For a weak opponent without all of this, this kind of desperation from a real war is indescribable, because if you can't beat it, you can't beat it.
If, if there is a power from the gods that can make their weapon advantages vanish, and only then can we have hope... So, the black technology of Nether has become a kind of god-given on this battlefield. hope. When the soldier and the hero first went out to rescue their companions under the bathtub, the well-equipped soldier said in horror that "they don't belong to God, they stand against God". The funny thing is, who will bless the people who have been invaded when Lao Mei recites God's blessing? When the male protagonist asked the little boy why there was such a ghost, the child said, because of the war. To be precise, because of your aggression, at least the children of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and other countries think so. Just as ISIS was born in the war in the Middle East, it has further become the source of the war in the Middle East with the support of the old and the United States. Does it look like a ghost? Is it like the dark black technology that was confiscated by Lao Mei at the end?
The anti-war core of "Netherworld" is the essence of the film. The outgoing Obama administration has not brought any substantial improvement to the American people in the past 8 years. Instead, it has disturbed half of the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa. It is selfish and overbearing. The face of the United States has been exposed little by little, and its international status and prestige are being severely challenged by new forces represented by China. Facing the trend of world diversification and globalization, the United States seems powerless, but other than war, the United States cannot find any better This means that I can consolidate my international status, and what is even worse is that this hard means that has been effective for the past half century has gradually become weaker and weaker. If there is a ghost, if I were that child, I would only hope The ghost army can automatically shut down after sweeping the United States.
After all, the Nether is the only miracle we have left.
