At first I always wondered why the director put the background in Africa, but later I realized that this film is covered in science fiction, but it is about barriers. Gap, between people and between different races, the greater the external differences, the easier it is for people to repel each other, while ignoring that everyone is basically the same. Once whites and blacks, now humans and aliens, why the aliens are so ugly, why do they have to be like bugs? I think the director is to exaggerate the difference in appearance. Human nature shouldn't just come from talents. I think that when all living things evolve to the intelligent stage, they will have a kind of emotion that is considered for the future of the entire race. That should be the so-called human nature. However, for many people, this kind of feeling is only for their own people. This is why gentlemen in North America can naturally expose the scalp of Indians without feeling anything wrong. When baking alien embryos, didn't the protagonist smile and say that it's almost like popcorn. It wasn't until after a series of events that the protagonist and the "alien scientist" gradually developed something similar to friendship, what the director wanted to say was already very clear. The transition is the moment when the protagonist's walking rack stops and turns. If all he did before was so that he could turn back into a human being, then what he did afterwards was completely so that his alien friends could go home. The latter is nothing more than a routine of sacrificing oneself to save the brothers, which is very old-fashioned. But I was completely moved. I am a stranger. If this passage were replaced by a white and a black man, I might finish it blankly. But once it was replaced by a non-human being, the inner cow was completely irresistible. I totally accepted what the director wanted to express with the two species!
Some bits and pieces
1. The social description of alien refugees is very real, eating, drinking and sleeping, being kidnapped and robbed, it is very three-dimensional. It's much better than the aliens who didn't pull the shit in the previous movies.
2. Little aliens are cute and smart!
3. The mecha is super cool, like the big dog in HL2, but with a lot of weapons.
4. The taste is a little bloody, but it also highlights the realism.
5. The final ending is very good and I like it very much. I am used to watching the perfect ending in Hollywood. I really need to have a few movies with a little regret ending once in a while. After all, life can never be perfect.
