"Moscow Has Fallen" - Unknown Life, Unknown Death

A good film, when telling a fascinating story to the audience, must have its narrative standpoint, or cruel human nature, or poignant love, or the ultimate meaning of life and death. It is clear that the film "Moscow Has Fallen" is very clear in its position, and it is deep, not vulgar, not cliché. The film unfolds through human's desire for survival, alien creatures' understanding of life, love, and even human life, and the conflict within a small family. The above three points can be said to be the basis for the development of the film's plot.

A very good father who works in the Ministry of Defense, can manage the army but can't control his wayward daughter. The daughter repeatedly put her father's words behind her head, longing for a freer life, making a boyfriend, and going to bed with him. Then when the two of them were confused, an accident happened, the alien spaceship fell in the living area, and the good things of the two were ruined. To be honest, such a plot is not really innovative, nor is it too exciting, but what I have to mention here is the more shocking special effects of the film, especially with the blessing of 3D and wonderful soundtracks, which are similar to Hollywood special effects. Than never fall behind.

So the heroine, her boyfriend and a group of friends tried to get close to the spaceship (the heroine's boyfriend looked like the second male, and he was not a good person, and the ending really confirmed my guess), and got a A suit similar to armor. At this time, the careful heroine found a man who was not dead lying in the ruins, and cleverly found that he was an alien, so she came back for the second time after everyone left and rescued him with a very magical operation saved him. (I can't complain about the plot...) Then I taught him what to pay attention to in daily life, speech and behavior, accompany him to the military base to steal things, go to the concert, and the feelings gradually warmed up like this. In the end, the handsome alien had to leave. The two kissed goodbye. The heroine's scumbag boyfriend jumped out and beat the handsome alien. When his hand fell on the heroine's face, he was unable to fight back. The alien handsome guy suddenly went berserk and brought everyone down.

Then the situation was chaotic. The ignorant crowd, instigated by the scumbag boyfriend, rushed to the spaceship with weapons, and had a fierce battle with the military. There was a lot of fighting, and the heroine and the handsome alien were both shot and killed by the scumbag boyfriend. However, the protagonist has a halo, how can he die. After being brought into the spaceship, the heroine was resurrected, which was exchanged by the handsome alien with his immortality. At the end of the film, just like the beginning, the heroine and her dog look up at the starry sky, and the heroine smiles slightly in the memory of love

It can be said that the whole film is a first-rate special effect plus a third-rate plot, but in this third-rate plot (in my opinion), there is an unconventional standpoint, a special humanistic concern, which is related to the meaning of love and the value of life. As the so-called "unknown life, how to know death", eternal life is very attractive, but the ups and downs of life are based on our lives of only a hundred years. If people can have eternal life, then life will become forever. Endless repetition, I will no longer cherish the person I love, and fight for the unknown future. Anyway, I have time, so what is there to be afraid of. In this way, living forever has become a burden. But fortunately, our lives will have an end in the end, and we don't have to have the "sweet troubles" of immortality.

Also, what I want to say most is to find someone worthy of love, and be kind to those who love you, and don’t wait until you lose it before regretting it. This is also what the film told me.

    I thought it would be a story about humans and aliens fighting, but I didn't expect the style of painting to suddenly change into a clichéd love triangle story.

    The heroine is so pretty, and the Russian punks are cute too. It's just that this storytelling mode is too American~~

    Julia Lebedeva: [voice over] When I was little, my mother and I loved to sit and look into the night sky, just like this. To dream that we are not alone, in the whole universe, that the stars are the eyes of the angels who are watching over us. But when my mother got sick, none of them helped. That's when I realized that no one is out there. Only silence, emptiness and the cold.

  • Lyuba: Julia, what's your WiFi password? I took a picture of this UFO and I have to post it.

    Julia Lebedeva: Well, it's nine 9's, but officially, I'm not supposed to know. Here in the Colonel's barracks, we hand out the WiFi password only for good behavior.
