Friendly reminder: don't take children to watch "The Wandering Earth"

I'm sure a movie like "The Wandering Earth" will not stand the test of time, it will quickly lose most of the thinking audience like "Wolf Warrior 2". Its advantage is that science fiction production is considered a pass, but it is only a pass (say catching up with Hollywood). Compared with the original domestic works that only rot, it is a pass, and there is no fooling or giving up. That's the only good thing about this film. Its biggest shortcoming is that the story is told the other way around. It is not a problem of not being able to tell a story, but a problem of telling stories or even making up stories. It is a problem of turning the good into bad and the bad into good. Logical confusion, disregard for rules, lack of morality, no characterization, no believable details that move people. I haven't read Liu Cixin's original book, so I don't know if it's the original book or the movie itself. If the movie is faithful to the original book, then I wouldn't bother to watch Liu Cixin's work. Of course, there is a possibility that the director of the film does not respect the original at all. 1. Logical confusion. Being able to let the earth wander is not the end of the earth's ejection, it is really aimless wandering, nor is Jupiter's ejection to be saved, but a purposeful and rigorous plan that integrates global wisdom, science and technology, and is related to the whole. The fate of life and death of mankind. Based on this basic point, the background of the film should be the period when human science and technology were highly developed. However, the film is full of nonsense: simple counterfeiting can clear the border successfully, genius driving skills, a bottle of wine destroys human beings, etc. Wait. Such a fragile thing, you let the earth wander, just kidding? 2. Ignoring the rules. The film has no villains, and the plot needs to progress, aiming at the rules and laws that everyone must abide by. This is intolerable. The rules and laws formulated by the highly developed scientific and technological society have become the only enemy, and the wisdom of all mankind has become the object of ridicule. This kind of setting can only be dared by us here. The young protagonist cheated, skipped class with his underage sister, forged certificates rose to the surface of the earth with extremely harsh conditions, and drove special vehicles without a license to cause all kinds of dangers, which are restored to life. Li Tianyi, who regards rules and laws as shit, Isn't it just the roaring drag racing party in the dead of night? Are they heroes or negative textbooks?

The father played by Wu Jing is even a poor specimen, but is said to be a heroic act. For the sake of his personal feelings, he kept doing things in the core and the human fire. He could do whatever he wanted without any sense of rules. In the end, he abandoned the human fire and made a desperate decision. You know, that decision was based on being Evaluate on top of actions with zero success rate. The entire human race was decided by him. Hot-headed, Li Kui-style slashing became Gao Zan action.

One more thing: being evaluated as a zero success rate, there must be a complex calculation setting, then it is impossible to be rescued as simply as the wandering earth is bounced off (this is obviously the thinking of elementary school students plus one), and it also includes being adsorbed. The process of being bounced off is a very destructive process. The ecosystem of the earth has been completely destroyed, and there is no more life.

The whole movie is like a scientist and a primary school student with two brains working and fighting, sometimes extremely sophisticated and sometimes simple and crude in pediatrics. The reason for this cannot be ruled out that the script changes during the shooting process and the consideration of capital seeking profit. There are still many acts of breaking the rules, not to mention. It seems that the rules and laws jointly created by human beings are all stinky shit, and they are all harmful. I really can’t agree with this view of the legal system. There is also a female player who did not hesitate to raise her hand to destroy the flint. What kind of disciplinary concept is this? Typical image of a group of rambunctious disorganized and undisciplined groups. Don't go abroad to show it. Our tourist army has left a deep Chinese imprint all over the world, and He Jiankui's genetically edited babies have left a deep Chinese imprint in the medical science community. Should films that have a wider impact also attack? The repeated reminder of the Beijing Transportation Commission has become a point of laughter and has become the object of ridicule, but in real life, it represents laws and regulations. Don't the heroes abide by the traffic rules? I was helpless, even angry, because I was watching it with my children. The third is the lack of morality. It seems to be saying that the father and son are deeply in love, and the brother and sister are deeply in love, but it doesn't touch anyone. The father-daughter love was thrown away like garbage: the wife was still the life of the father-in-law, and the film handled it as simply as one plus one. Half of human life is simply dealt with. The sun does not disappear all at once, it is a long process, not a sudden tsunami and earthquake. The process of solar inactivation is likely to span generations, and it can be dealt with even with family planning, so there should be a more human and more human way to deal with it, rather than just throwing away and killing billions of people. Fourth, there is no characterization, no touching details, only the wanton destruction of the characters. Characters are symbols, and some have no meaning. Even the protagonist, what kind of person is he going to tell us? do not know. The most important thing in the art of novels and movies is that the details touch people, but there is not a single detail in this film that touches people, including the old man and the girl, the father and the son, and the handling has no intimacy. The film can also be said to have no real details. Insincere. Not true. Concept stacks, with or without logic. I didn't shout slogans, but it was stupid and dark, full of strong traces of Wu Jing's films.

The publicity of the film was very successful, no matter the cost, let's talk about it. Army, Navy, Air Force, WeChat, Weibo, Toutiao, Loudspeaker, psoriasis, videos, articles, comments, all public relations in the sky and underground are covered. People are carried into the theater by a huge torrent, just like the elderly believe that health products such as Quanjian can give them eternal life. Of course, there is another type of people who believe it and watch it, but after reading it, they feel extremely uncomfortable, like myself, so they should speak up in time to stop the intellectual regression of the Chinese people. Wu Jing injected capital, I believed it, because Wu Jing told the story. Rampage, regardless of the cost, regardless of the consequences, without thinking, do whatever you want, tear the devils, but in the end, they all won and succeeded.
