Although this ever-popular movie version shows too much uneasiness compared to the western cowboy TV series, even the BGM can't wait to take the audience's breath away from time to time. But behind the gorgeous CG with distinctive Hollywood gold-absorbing pipeline features and endless fighting scenes, the 120 minutes of resurrection, what they wanted but wanted, is the wish of fans that they have not tasted for many years.
The main line of the film tells about the former Tranquility era of the final weapon, River, the persistent pursuit of her by the Alliance, the sister-controlled doctors, and the various freak crews who took care of her in different ways. At this time, the pastor no longer travels with everyone. He has opened a refuge on a certain planet, which is also the end of his space wandering.
In the previous TV series, fans have long had a lot of speculation about the past of the pastor, such as bounty hunters, government officials, high-level military personnel, etc., all of which were obviously overthrown in the movie. Knowing his own knowledge of the high-powered queen assassin's way of acting, his identity slowly emerged: the assassin's present is his past!
Those who were not passionate about serving the country at first, with the ideal of a sinless world, rushed to the secret battlefield under the call of "Your country needs you". Obey orders and never question. It's a pity that you will know too many secrets that you shouldn't know in this business. His hands are full of blood, and the evening scene is bound to be bleak. Life is the person of the alliance, and death is the ghost of the alliance. Those who are full of gray hair can survive the world, not only the elite of the elite, but also the absence of weaknesses—family. In the first episode, before boarding the Serenity, the pastor repeatedly emphasized that I am not Granpa and I have never been married. This should be the truth. Think about it, if you drag your family around, you will have too many weaknesses and concerns. How can you survive in the cracks?
In addition, in the TV series, the pastor has repeatedly shown that he is good at strategy, good at handling firearms, and specializes in shooting people's knees. This is obviously to show that he has been trained as a killer in Coban. If I remember correctly, former agents Michael Westen and Mr. Reese in "Burn Notice" and "Person of Interest" all have this hobby.
This old man who used to be in the system, possessed special skills, but lost his faith for various reasons, was lost for a time, and entered the marginalized group from the mainstream. Once he became a priest, hoping to follow God and cultivate his moral character in the monastery, which meant that he would put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha. But he embarked on the journey again, just as Kaylee, who was basking in the sun with an umbrella, broke, "You like (selecting) the spaceship. It seems that you don't care where the destination is." At the beginning of the TV series, he was embarrassed with Mal and his party, stunned an enforcer, and ruined all his actions... But maybe he came to the place he was destined to go, and followed an unruly space cowboy like Mal, while traveling. Gradually found his own belief, and even at the end of his life, I hope Marl will find the power of belief in despair.
The film reveals the origin of the murderer-human beings collapsed by biochemical weapons, after a fierce battle between humans and demons, the cruel reality that did not evade in the end, two deaths and many injuries. And the end of the film still brings us gentle hope, the dead have succeeded. A genius girl has replaced the navigator who loves to play with dinosaur toys, and the blade warrior is embarking on the road to find meaning and self-salvation.
Killer: They might believe what I said... but I think they already know that I am not theirs.
Mal: If they kill you, I won't feel sad. I want to kill you myself and wait until the next time I meet.
This movie is a farewell ceremony for "Firefly". At the end of the play, people disperse, but in our imagination, this is a new beginning: the dead have gained peace, and the living are continuing to sail on the Serenity...
