Alien Battlefield: The Taste of Melon Seeds

1. Because the original work has a relatively high enlightenment status, it has been written for a hundred years, and some of the plots and worldviews are too crudely designed, which can indeed be understood. This makes it easier for the creators to become more conservative when adapting the story. . There are many similar situations in science fiction (whether hard or soft). The content and consciousness may be fresh at the time, but there must be some parts that are eliminated by time, and some parts that are not applicable to the film type. The former is like Wells's "Time Machine", and the latter is like Wells's "War of the World". It even includes "Fist of the North Star" in the comics world. Everyone knows that its story fell into an obvious repetition after Raou, but the position where it affects countless descendants is there.


2. Even so, aside from the clichés of the big world, it is not discussed whether the three countries are too corresponding to the North and South American troops and the Indians. The degree of emptiness in the details of the movie's narrative still surprised me a bit. Needless to say, the two countries were at war, they saw a little smoke at the end of the wedding. Even the Sark, who has the most pen and ink, does not have enough realism. If the two protagonists don't call again, they are really completely separated from the audience.


3. Artists like it. Whether they are rough landforms, steampunk-style spaceships or empty and mixed buildings, they are like sci-fi paintings that flashed before their eyes in childhood. However, do you really think the dark red inkpad pattern painted on the face is ugly? Not as good as the Tatar brothers!


4. At the beginning, in order to win the people first, Duan Xuan's air battle came first, and it took a long time to explain what it meant before. I am afraid that the narrative will be more degraded. Then the whole foreshadowing is a section of wills, a section of catching deserters, and a section of planet exploration, each of which is equivalent to re-entering a new story environment. Such a long and folded opening will make the audience very tired.


5. The major themes range from "escape from oneself" to "reverse recognition of a foreign country as my hometown". In fact, it is a very standard Hollywood theme. There is nothing to criticize, but there is indeed no natural bonus. The protagonist escapes the battlefield, flees to a larger battlefield, thinking of going home, but slowly takes the initiative to join the battle and find a home. These are all natural compilations of the story. If there is no more content, it is normal for the audience not to buy it. And if the protagonist needs to be suspenseful in the experience part, then he has to rely on the actor's own charm to support it. Now it seems that his charm is "made" by force. His strength is too external, and no one understands his weakness. Where is the power of this kind of adventure?


6. Speaking of power, this is the most basic and practical part of any story, but it needs the most attention. A certain person on Mars who does not understand the demise of a country, in the eyes of the earth's audience, is really not as good as a woman who wants to marry someone she doesn't like is worthy of attention. How to attract these, and then provoke the audience, is the most cost-effective part. Otherwise, the more money is spent, the more effort it takes.


7. The most terrible thing is that it is not interesting. The original book can be serious, but Stanton, you really dare not add a paragraph? Isn't the "three captures and three escapes" very animated? After crossing the cultural collision, I am stumbling, and I really don’t know what the director’s attitude towards the work of "Ghost 3" is.


8. The conspiracy theory system is really a toy for creators. The existence of God’s BUG will not spit me out. I just think of how many films have been rushing to create some images to be responsible for major historical events in these years, as if this is a magical skill that instantly makes simple events shine. It’s a bit annoying to watch too much, Qian Lifang’s "Promise of Heaven" actually gives me the same feeling.


9. Looking at Caesar and Anthony standing together again, I feel a little bit emotional.


10. My friend said that Mark Strong should have completely robbed Andy Garcia's play.


11. Body capture technology has actually improved a lot over the years, but if the actual feelings made by the Tuckers are still similar to those of Gagabinks, this is the place to reflect.


12. Disney has lost a lot of money earned in Caribbean 4 this time.
