One of the great successes of this film lies in the construction of the civilization of Tyrolean. For films that involve the interaction of large civilizations, how to construct a unique and convincing environment has always been the key factor of such films. One of the magnificences of "Star Wars" is that it has successfully created many forms of alien civilization, and at the same time outlined its interactive political and diplomatic relations very real. And Cameron made thousands of fans look forward to "God Down to Earth", and everyone paid great attention to what kind of civilization he would offer. Tai Ruoxing’s civilized form is a peaceful form. From the perspective of the earth, they look like vehicles, clothing, and interior furnishings from ancient times, but they form an elegant lifestyle that goes from heaven to earth. At the same time, they have Group ceremony with religious consciousness. And this peaceful life was quickly interrupted by a small-scale tentative attack by humans, and human offensive weapons and the attire of the pilots in the wrecked spacecraft also showed the civilization of human beings at that time. It was mechanical and cold. At the same time, it appears to be efficient and powerful. This contrast is like the early colonists armed to the teeth, and the foreigners' vision of the quiet life of "backward and civilized" at that time.
One thing about this film is very appealing to me, that is, let the people of Tai Ruoxing breathe smoothly and live freely, but the earth people will suffocate and die. I remember reading biology at the time. When explaining the possibility of life on aliens, I repeatedly discussed it based on the Earth’s standards, such as oxygen, such as liquid water. I thought at the time, perhaps, what aliens need is to breathe sulfur dioxide and gnaw ice. In this film, seeing this kind of imagination is indeed, it is inevitable that the heart will resonate. And it is the living environment of Tai Ruoxing that triggered the conquest of mankind by releasing oxygen to completely transform Tai Ruoxing’s environment. The conquerors in history all tried to transform the “backward nations”. Their essence is People who want to transform the environment to make their life more comfortable, but often say something to improve the quality of life of "backward civilization", and this kind of transformation often destroys the economy and culture of the aborigines, even like the smallpox brought by the Spanish to the Americas. Affected their survival. And this film is the extreme expression of this transformation. Colonists never bring unprofitable benevolence, and safeguarding their interests is always the first rule. They are full of God’s perspective on the conquered, and they can be caught for experimentation. Randomly extinct, even completely destroyed. And as the movie Teruo Xing Man Mara followed the human pilot she rescued to the large human spacecraft to find his father, it also led to the life style of the human side, which is similar to "Wall-E", which is also rootless. People, in the cannibalism of humans in the solar system, the destruction of the earth, they can only follow this floating civilization to find a new place to live, but unlike "Wall-E", this process is cruel. In "Independence Day" In ", the alien invaders were once compared to locusts. They came to one place, exhausted their resources, and then went to another place to destroy them. Among the people on earth, the hawkish generals are the representatives of such forces. The human political wrestling process in the spacecraft is no different from reality. The initiation of war is also a common trajectory. There is a crisis inside (the spacecraft is about to run out of oxygen). , And then use war to transfer contradictions. They are goal-oriented and ruthless, but they are often more likely to be embraced by confused people in times of crisis. So a devastating aggression begins, and this process is still the usual process of earth politics. , It makes people feel desperate, and it also reveals how vigilant we should be against the words "crisis", "survival space", and "stand-by" often plausible by those in power!
Perhaps because of my personal taste, I don't like the humanitarian end of the film. Of course, I agree with the warmth, especially folk, the friendship between the pilot and Mala. The communication gap is often the cause of hatred and war. The pilot has been brainwashed for a long time, and he was full of arrogance and vigilance when he saw Mara for the first time. However, after witnessing the reality, the change in his thinking also reflected the value of non-governmental communication. Often, under the tension of public opinion, eliminating prejudice and sincere communication will allow us to see more truth, and these meagre communications, often gathered together, may change the course of history. This film uses a heroic way to expand the opportunities that this communication may bring. When the huge oxygen generators of the people on earth come to Terousin in a posture much like the alien aircraft carrier spacecraft in "Independence Day", and Tai Ruoxing’s people also acted like the terrestrial fighters in "Independence Day" when they were so powerless and desperate to resist, a kind of suicidal sacrifice appeared. The only difference was that in "Independence Day" it was A father who is usually a waste material, and in "Tai Ruo Xing", the pilot destroys this huge destruction machine by himself. He is a typical case of being torn apart by war. He was once brainwashed and educated. Then he saw the truth and made friends. With friends from the rival camp, seeing the two sides fighting on the battlefield, he did not know which side to stand on, and eventually became insane. He summarized his pain with a kind of self-destruction, and also rendered the pain of the war to the climax. In fact, when the oxygen generator was destroyed, the director could have taken advantage of the trend to come to a more thoughtful tragic ending, that is, to let mankind be destroyed, let us see that being invaded will bring survival as in "Independence Day". In crisis, we need to unite and strengthen ourselves. Similarly, after strengthening oneself, greedy, infinite expansion and foreign aggression will also bring devastating disasters to oneself. However, the director left a family carnival ending. Perhaps, he also wanted to tell everyone that everything is not that complicated. Fear and enemies are often made by themselves, and even friends have become enemies. From another perspective, everyone can live all their lives. It's cool, why not play a zero-sum game.
This is a cartoon full of fantasy and reflection, but it is also full of practical significance. For example, for Chinese people, I am still my point of view when reflecting on similar Sino-Japanese wars. We have to see the pain in the past and strengthen ourselves, but We must also see the consequences of a nuclear explosion that Japan will bring to ourselves at the end of Japan's invasion of other countries. Those who are chanting to be rich and strong, and clamoring for revenge and hatred, to flatten this and bloodbath, wake up!
