Why are you alive?
Why are you willing to die?
Few people can answer. Especially the latter question. Because we are still alive, we rarely think of death, so we rarely think about the meaning of death and why we are willing to give our lives.
In "Forsaken Battlefield", Jack's answer is very clear:
"I want Julia to live... This is the only way"
In the book found in the ruins, it says: "How can I die without fear? Death is to protect the temple of faith and to find the footprints of ancestors."
For the people he loves and for humanity, Jack does not hesitate to die, like a Trojan horse, enters the enemy's hinterland and kills himself.
And the good times he had hoped for did indeed come.
At that time, he didn't know that his life continued in another way, his daughter, and his clones.
Although this plot is indeed a flaw, but who can refuse, after the struggle, the dream that is expected to come true? The pastoral life of a family of three is better than the life of an orphan and a widow. The emotional device that touches people’s hearts has been activated, replacing logical thinking. However, this is the kind of flaw that I am willing to accept, and the kind of "The 101st Proposal" It's really not the same level.
Many people say that this film is not good. When I voted, I did hesitate. At that time, my balance in Meituan was less than two votes. The transfer from China Merchants Bank was successful but it could not be displayed on the account (coincidentally, I caught up with the large-scale failure of China Merchants Bank that day), so I first bought one, and then exchanged for a movie voucher, whether to watch "Crazy Primitive" or "Lost Battlefield", I hesitated, and finally chose Battlefield, because for me, keywords like science fiction, salvation, and truth about the earth are more attractive to me than "cute", and it is easier for me to open my mind. Later, I bought a Meituan ticket, and "Crazy Primitives" only had an afternoon show. The theater didn't change it to the afternoon Primitives and Night Battlefield, so I had to change to "To Youth" at night.
And I like "Legend of War". If I hadn't exchanged the tickets early in the morning, I would probably not watch "To Youth" and watch the war again.
"Forsaken Battlefield" does have bugs, but I am still impressed by it because of many small details, such as oasis, such as the memory of love that cannot be erased even if it is cloned, such as the words that died well, such as the story of Odyssey. For thousands of years, human beings have actually fought for the same theme. This is the case with "Cloud Atlas" and the same with "Lost Battlefield".
Because of "Landscape of Lost", I also specially found "Moon" to watch. It is also a very exciting film. The two are similar, and I like both of them.
In "Legend of War", some places obviously pay tribute to many previous blockbusters, which are very reminiscent of "Escape from the Clone Island", "Cloud Atlas", "The Matrix", etc. Later, I understand that there is also " "Moon", "The Matrix" I always think is a classic that is difficult to surpass, but "Forsaken Battlefield" is also handled well in some aspects. The end of the earth is not blindly gloomy, like a clear sky and an observation platform. The suites, swimming pools, minimalist furnishings in space, small flowers (my heart trembled when the flowers were thrown down), and nostalgic furnishings in the wooden houses by the lake, etc., in the first hour, and It's not boring, but it turns sharply in the back, the more it brings out the cruelty of the heavenly lie in the front-in almost all the stories of clones, there is always a heavenly desire. Of course, the same is true in religion, but in the end it proves to be a lie without exception.
Jack and Vika, what happens when they go back? It is very likely to be destroyed, and then send new Jack and Vika. However, from the perspective of the Titans, it makes sense to think that way. It understands part of human nature, but it doesn't understand all of it. In fact, at the beginning, Vika's various performances had already destined that she and Jack were out of tune. They were just partners, not love.
True love is a memory that cannot be forgotten in the soul and dream, and it is a trace that goes deep into the genes and cannot be eliminated even if it is cleaned. Jack wakes up in his dream every night, he doesn't know why, he wants to explore but he can't start. He gallops on the plains of the planet. In his mind, he is nostalgic for the earth, but for the Titans, he is not like Vika. Yearn for. Once he meets the person in his dream, the doubts in his heart grow bigger and bigger. The discovery of the truth awakens him and his humanity is revived. The front and back are actually the same person, but they are different. It is as if he was awakened from a dream. We can no longer be content with the past life.
The human bodies in the cultivation pots on Titan are really scary. People are not people, but products. That kind of horror, even though I have watched "The Matrix" many times, I still perceive it so truly, perhaps because we in reality are actually the same. People who seem to have ideas are actually just products. .
Oga Kurylenko’s acting skills, I feel it is general, the expression is quite flat, there is no emotional ups and downs that a character should have, although Jack has been washed away most of the memory, but she does not, and Vika, in fact, she also exists Remember, otherwise she would not say "You still love her", but she loves Jack, so she keeps escaping. She died of longing for heaven, and it might not be bad if she didn’t realize it until she died. Awakening is a painful one. Process and face the reality that may be painful.
Morgan Freeman's old drama is obviously better with Tom Cruise. This character is reminiscent of Morpheus in "The Matrix", and he is responsible for awakening the savior. In order to lead people to liberation, he did not hesitate to give his life. In that scene, the old and the young smiled and detonated calmly, which was very touching.
Exploring the meaning of life, the value of existence, fantasy and reality, human nature, the war between man and machine, this is what I got from the film. Of course, I also believe that life is not just about having fun in movies. I feel full of power when I come out of the theater.
If reality is also full of Titans, the ubiquitous deception and control power, then, fight!
