The defective is good

Things that are defective are good. Twenty thousand li under the sea is too heavy in my heart. I read the novel when I was in elementary school and gave me the enlightenment of science fiction. This caused me to expect too much of the movie at first. When a novel is adapted into a movie, it seems that a large number of plots will be cut. When I saw the Lincoln hunting sea monsters in the South Pacific, I found that many details in Verne’s original work were omitted. The reckless Netherlands became a musical singer, and the special effects of the ship sailing on the sea appeared. It's so clumsy. The professor's servant's small achievements in taxonomy have also been omitted, and a series of behaviors after entering Nautilus appear to be very special. In the novel, his loyal quality is downplayed.
But then the movie proved me wrong. The underwater world outside the porthole of the Nautilus, the thrilling sea walks, and the small islands boarded by small boats all show the remarkable achievements of movie special effects of that era, especially in the scene of the battle against the giant squid Some of the special effects are comparable to the American version of Godzilla. The Dutch reckless but principled and fearless qualities are also vividly and exquisitely reflected in this scene.
Let’s talk about Captain Nemo. The main roles are very good, but the acting of Captain Nemo still stands out. From the mystery and majesty when he appeared on the stage, to the hatred on his face when the Nautilus rushed to the ship, to the look on his face that seemed to me almost fainted, the actor reproduced the novel's Captain Nemo who is both brilliant and bears a deep hatred. And the actor's appearance is really a bit Indian.
In my opinion, what Nemo hates is the bloody and cruel exploitation of early capitalism. As a prince, his compatriots were slaughtered by powerful invaders, and he himself was captured as slave labor on the desert island. When he took the professor to the island to watch the workers who were like slaves carrying arms and materials under the flogging, his anger was beyond restraint. After being rescued by the Netherlands, his thoughts changed for a while, but he still told the professor that the loyalty and kindness of humans on land was only temporary. He still chose to stay in the small Nautilus and hide in the sea. , Or from time to time to break the waves and attack steam-driven ships with electric-powered submarines. He is simply a combination of the heir of Lao Tzu's thoughts of small country and few people and Nagato Payen Gazasuke's combination. If Naruto sees it, Naruto will say: I will definitely eliminate your hatred.
As the professor said, Nimothy is pursuing perfection. The world is indeed not good enough, but it is not that bad either. As long as there is a place that is well done and there is goodness, there is hope in the future, it will become better, and defects will become fewer and fewer.
