Today, let's talk about the Swedish/Danish film "Anyara".
The film titled Aniara (2018), alias Star Trek: USS Aniara.
The film Aniara is based on the 1956 literary work Aniara: An Epic Science Fiction Poem by Swedish poet, novelist, essayist and playwright Harry Martinson.
The original is a hundred-section long poem on the subject of interstellar travel, consisting of 103 poems.
Harry Martinson was elected a member of the Swedish Academy in 1949, and in 1974 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature along with Eyvind Johnson "for his works reflect the whole world through a drop of dew" and was reviewed by literary critics Home called "The Song of the Planet of Our Time".
In fact, as early as 1960, "Anyara" has been adapted and put on TV.
However, due to the technical conditions at the time, the expression of the early films was relatively simple.
The film and television works are consistent with the main line of the original poetry story, and the huge and magnificent spacecraft "Anyara" is used to transport humans from Earth to Mars. Not long after the "Anyara" was launched, it deviated from its orbit and sailed into the boundless depths of the universe.
A slight difference is that in the 1960 version, the reason for the "Anyara" deviating from the course was the impact of the asteroid. In the 2018 version, the reason for the "Anyala" deviating from the course was that the fuel tank was hit by space junk, and the spacecraft was urgently arranged. empty fuel.
The creative background of "Aniara" is in the early days of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union compete for hegemony, and the two sides compete to develop nuclear weapons. A large number of nuclear weapons are hovering above human heads like ghosts.
Harry Martinson used this to describe a world uninhabitable by humans. Because the whole earth is polluted by a large amount of radioactive substances, human beings cannot live, and can only leave their homes and migrate to Mars.
In the face of modern technology, human beings have become very insignificant, and in the vast universe, human beings are even more insignificant. Human beings who are forced to migrate seem to be full of hope, but in fact they are only delaying the end of their doom.
The name "Aniara" comes from the ancient Greek "aniaros" (aniaros), which means "in distress" or "in distress".
The title already foreshadows the plot.
"Aniara" revolves around hope and despair.
At first, everyone looked forward to a new life on Mars with hope. Then, after the accident, despair began to emerge, and then the breath of despair gradually gained the upper hand and became the mainstream, until everyone was wiped out, and despair became the absolute master but there was no host. .
There is only one life, and there is only one earth.
According to the current level of human science and technology, all kinds of natural disasters cannot exterminate human beings, and only human beings can completely kill human beings.
The most important thing to maintain human existence is the earth. Humans make the earth uninhabitable, and their fate can be imagined.
"Aniara" upholds the usual pessimistic attitude of science fiction about the future.
From a long-term perspective, science fiction as a whole has maintained a tragic attitude. Concerned about the development of science and technology, the future of human beings, and human beings themselves.
The reason is very simple, everything in the world cannot escape the law of entropy increase.
Schrödinger once said: "People live against the law of entropy increase, and life lives on negative entropy." This is an unavoidable law. All life resists entropy increase in its entire life, and everything will be destroyed.
Likewise over time scales, all struggles are futile to the naked eye.
"Aniara" uses a giant spaceship full of 8,000 people to prove this truth.
All seemingly unexpected emergencies are actually inevitable under the increase of entropy.
When human beings destroy the earth, they are actually destroying themselves.
Some of the people who escaped from Earth to Mars by chance, some on the way to escape, still end in destruction, and some escape directly to the end of destruction, with the same goal by different paths.
The film "Aniara" focuses on the struggle of a boat.
They initially believed in technology and believed that technology could solve their predicament, but technology was unable to solve it, so the captain thought of using lies and mind control to maintain order.
In the following decades, equipment failures, probe incidents, etc. occurred one after another, and people began to believe in cults, from one extreme to the other.
Regardless of the difference between technology and cult, in fact, in the eyes of these people, there is not much difference, they are just a kind of spiritual sustenance.
hope or despair,
In the end it was all in vain.
