There are a lot of Godzilla movies. Recently, I have made up several of them during the holiday. In the original design, Godzilla feeds on nuclear energy. It can be said that the theme of promoting environmental protection is very clearly demonstrated. More or less, Sila movies all mention that "human development of nuclear weapons is an important factor in the birth of Godzilla". This theme of satirizing the development of human technology and civilization is quite interesting at first glance. In recent years, Hollywood has also obtained IP authorization to start filming. In the film co-produced by Japan and the United States in 2014, Godzilla is even more embellished as a savior of the earth. The satire is put to the maximum, but it is inevitable that aesthetic fatigue will be inevitable after reading the same theme too much.
Now that Netflix is developing the Japanese market, it has also started a top IP such as Godzilla. The Godzilla trilogy is a 3D animated film invested by Netflix and written by Xu Shenxuan. At first, I thought it might be an environmental film again, and I couldn't jump out of the original frame. In addition, Americans misunderstood the nuclear plot of the Japanese, I'm afraid it would be difficult to make excellent works. Pulling the trilogy gave me an unexpected surprise.
The first "Godzilla: Monster Planet" mainly tells the awakening of a group of ancient monsters on the earth, including the king of monsters, Godzilla, who attacked the human city. Humans fought back and killed a large number of monsters. There is no way to pull. At this time, two alien civilizations came to the earth one after another, religious civilization and technological civilization. They reached an agreement with humans to help humans eliminate Godzilla, and humans must give the alien civilization corresponding resources and land. Religious civilization gave human spiritual strength and firm belief in the war of resistance, while scientific and technological civilization gave human more advanced weapons. They also imitated Godzilla and used nano-metal to create the ultimate weapon, mechanical Godzilla, but it was destroyed by Godzilla before it was activated. . Both humans and alien civilizations were eventually defeated by Godzilla, but the three forces escaped the earth with spacecraft made by technological civilization and went to a habitable planet 20 light-years away. During the 20-year journey, the three civilizations gradually merged on the spacecraft to form a central council with three factions co-governing. The male protagonist who was born on Earth served as the captain of the army. When the spacecraft arrived at the predetermined habitable planet, it was found that the planet was not suitable for human habitation due to a calculation error, and the food and water on the spacecraft for human survival had become less and less, so it had to decide to return to Earth. At this time, 20,000 years have passed on the earth, the entire ecosystem has undergone tremendous changes, and Godzilla is still here. The male protagonist decided to lead his troops to expel Godzilla and retake the earth for mankind. Although he encountered an unexpected Godzilla subspecies attack and sacrificed many soldiers, he successfully killed him under the precise and thoughtful tactical deployment. Godzilla. Unexpectedly, a larger Godzilla emerged from the ground at this time, the formation of the army was instantly disrupted, and the male protagonist lost consciousness. It turns out that they only killed a subspecies of Godzilla, not the Godzilla that drove humans from the earth 20,000 years ago.
The second "Godzilla: Proliferation City" mainly tells that the army led by the male protagonist is disrupted by the new giant Godzilla, and the male protagonist is rescued after losing consciousness. In the past few years, there are still surviving humans. Their physiological structures have evolved, adapted to the changes in the earth's ecology, and they also know how to make weapons against Godzilla's subspecies. Under the guidance of the surviving humans, the army came to the production of alien technology civilization. The base of Mechanic Godzilla, although Mechanic Godzilla was destroyed in those days, the nano-metal has memory and ductility, and it slowly proliferates and repairs after being destroyed. After 20,000 years, a research base has been rebuilt, its The scale is hundreds of times larger than the original. The technicians of the alien civilization regained control of the base and quickly built weapons and equipment. Everyone saw the hope of eliminating Godzilla. The confident male protagonist lured Godzilla into the trap again, and the tactics worked once again. The electromagnetic harpoon was successfully inserted into Godzilla's body, causing the electromagnetic wave chaos in his body. He thought he would fall like a subspecies, but unexpectedly Brother Superstar Sla controls the molecular structure to convert electromagnetic waves into heat energy, and as the temperature increases, the electromagnetic harpoon melts, and the electromagnetic waves gradually stabilize. At the time of the crisis, the races of alien technology civilization merged with the nano-metal base one after another, accelerating the operation speed of the base and began to attack Godzilla, who was about to be resurrected. However, the extremely high temperature prevented the firepower from reaching Godzilla's body. The calculation results believe that only the mobile nano-armor driven by the male lead team performing the induction task can give Godzilla a fatal blow with a suicide attack from a high-altitude dive, but in the face of Godzilla's high temperature shield, the driver only has The operation can only be completed by integrating with the nano-armor. Before the pilots can respond, the nano-armor has already begun to devour them actively. The female driver, who is in love with the male protagonist, was swallowed and screamed. The protagonist turned the gunfire to the control of the base and pulled the trigger. Finally, the nano armor stopped swallowing the driver, but at this time Godzilla had been completely revived, and the electromagnetic breath sprayed completely wiped out the base built by nano metal proliferation. The female pilot has become a combination of nano-metal and human. Although she is still alive, she has lost consciousness forever.
The third "Godzilla: Star Eater" mainly tells the story of the nano-metals of alien technological civilization, which failed again when fighting against Godzilla. The Central Council, which is governed by three factions, has completely lost its prestige. Civilization took the opportunity to teach and gather a large number of people, and their leaders also used the facilities of the nano-metal base to recreate the so-called artifact. It turns out that the alien religious civilization has established some kind of connection with the high-dimensional creatures in the long development, and has actively dedicated its planet to the high-dimensional creatures to integrate with it. Religious civilizations have been observing the earth since the birth of mankind. They know that the final result of the development of the planet is the destruction of mankind and the rule of new monsters. They want to dedicate this new monster and the entire planet to high-dimensional creatures. At this time, people's hearts have been drawn to religion, artifacts have been recast, and the conditions for summoning high-dimensional creatures have all been met, so the high-dimensional creature Ghidorah came to the earth and began to devour Godzilla. Ghidorah, who came from a high-dimensional world to a low-dimensional space, is completely unrestricted by the rules of this world. Godzilla cannot attack it, and human mechanical equipment cannot observe it, but it can cause real damage to this world. Scientists of the army analyzed that high-dimensional creatures want to destroy not only Godzilla, but also the whole earth. It is unreasonable for high-dimensional creatures to interfere with the low-dimensional world in one direction. There must be someone in this world who is helping The high-dimensional creature observes the world, and he informs the male protagonist of this information to let him control the leader of religious civilization, so that the earth can survive the crisis. The male protagonist killed the leader of religious civilization, and the high-dimensional creatures who lost their observers returned to the rules and restrictions of this world. Godzilla used electromagnetic breath to easily destroy Ghidorah. Before dying, the leader of religious civilization said to the male protagonist that human beings are an ambitious race, and they will surely develop and prosper again. When the time is right, high-dimensional creatures will come again to harvest everything on this planet. Sure enough, the army scientists successfully used the active nano-metals on the female pilots to activate the powerless nano-mechas. As long as the ductility and memory proliferation of nano-metals are used, human beings still have a chance to restore the prosperous civilization of the past, and there is still a chance. Destroying Godzilla, the male protagonist who heard the news remembered the words of the leader of religious civilization before he died. In order to keep the fire of mankind and avoid being harvested by high-dimensional creatures again, he brought the unconscious female pilot to open the nano-mecha Rush to Godzilla, willing to die, after an explosion, the hope of restoring civilization is completely shattered, but the high-dimensional creatures no longer have reason to harvest the earth.
The plots of the three films are closely related, and I feel very refreshed after watching it in one breath. Compared with the old Godzilla films, it is indeed a new idea. The old films will always only know how to use tanks and planes to fight brother in Osaka and Los Angeles. Sila, this film is the first time that Godzilla is mentioned from the perspective of the universe, and it feels very novel.
If you think about it carefully, the Godzilla trilogy explores many philosophical issues, such as the coexistence and integration of human civilization and alien civilization, how to seek common ground while reserving differences? When human beings face a deadly threat, are they willing to fight as human beings, or would they rather change their life forms to survive? Should we choose to restore the prosperous civilization of mankind and fight against high-dimensional creatures and Godzilla, or choose to give up the fire of civilization and live under many threats? These are topics rarely covered in previous monster films and have enough depth. I think if sufficient funds are given to make these trilogy into a live-action TV series, it will probably be quite shocking.
From this movie, we can also see some thoughts of the screenwriter Xu Yuanxuan on human civilization. In the second proliferating city, the male protagonist clearly wants to fight as a human being. When the life form changes, it is equivalent to genocide. Victory under this circumstance cannot take back the dignity of human beings; in the third Star Eater, army scientists found the possibility of restoring human civilization, but the male protagonist immediately drove a nano-mecha to Godzilla, killing civilization with his own hands. Tinder. This seems to show that the screenwriter's opposition to the progress of human civilization, then this is right or wrong, good or bad, it's really impossible to judge, it's worth thinking about for a long, long time.
Since the Godzilla trilogy involves scientific issues such as interstellar travel, I think these should be expressed accurately. If I can't explain it well, I'm afraid it will mislead some young audiences. Let's talk more here.
Why did the spacecraft only fly for 20 years, but 20,000 years on Earth? According to Einstein's theory of relativity, when an object travels at the speed of light, time inside the object slows down. When the spacecraft travels from the earth to a habitable planet at the speed of light, the time inside the spacecraft will slow down. Humans feel that the time has only passed 20 years, but the earth has passed 20,000 years.
Why does it take 20 years to get from the earth to a habitable planet, but it only takes a moment to return to the earth from a habitable planet? Probably because of space jumps, precise coordinates are necessary. Humans have never been to a habitable planet, only vague coordinates. If the jump is deviated, it may take more time.
Of course, there is another point that cannot be washed off. In the second Proliferation City, a member of the Central Council once proposed to build a base on the moon, and then obtain resources from the earth to continue living, so as to avoid fighting Godzilla, It can also continue to develop civilization. Why should this method not be tried before humans try to fly to a habitable planet 20 light-years away? This method is obviously cheaper. Of course, judging from the plot of the third Star Eater, Godzilla's electromagnetic breath seems to be likely to hit the moon directly.
In general, compared to the old Godzilla series, these three films have broken the original framework and are completely new brain holes. For the first time, the time is set after Godzilla has ruled the earth. Instead of when humans ruled the earth, I think this is a successful attempt by Netflix to expand the Japanese market. If it can continue to output such works that have both a European and American perspective and localized IP, I believe that a large number of users will soon buy it. . Due to the compact plot of the trilogy, it will not be scored independently. All the trilogy should be given 4 stars, which is worthy of encouragement.
