Facts have proved that one of the benefits of documentaries is that they can explain things most effectively in a limited time. More importantly, the film uses an authoritative tone to establish a certain specific concept in people's hearts through the documentary form, and then gradually overthrow it completely and reverse the audience's thinking. This is the cleverness of the director of the Lord of the Rings.
At the beginning, government officials, NGO members, and urban management leaders took turns to be photographed. News clips flashed by, coupled with various human speeches, we gradually learned that these aliens are a group of nasty guys: not to mention their disgusting looks, they are dirty, eat trash, and rob everywhere. , Hurting people, and even the need to hire prostitutes—how disgusting!
This is the orientation of the film at the beginning, which is to make people feel disgusted and hostile towards those disgusting aliens like lobsters. I dare say that they succeeded. This shows that the guiding force of news is terrible, and brainwashing happens unconsciously anytime, anywhere.
When the film progressed to the 17th minute, people opened an alien's room and found that there were alien embryos growing inside, the protagonist began to pull the nutrient from the embryo with a smile; next the soldiers Spraying flames at the house, accompanied by the protagonist happily explaining to the camera that the sound is like popcorn, which is disgusting-the rotten beef in that house is disgusting, but the humans in the camera are even more disgusting.
Next, Peter Jackson tore off the rendering and disguise he had done before, exposing the ugliness of humans time and time again. A soldier with headshots in Kusama’s life threatening to keep the little alien in a small one-meter-square box at the head of the city management (this reminds me of the children in some movies who want to drag their children away from their biological fathers/mothers. Service staff), the scientist who forced the protagonist to kill an innocent alien with an alien weapon in the laboratory, and the officials who were sitting on the sidelines, all made me feel chills. Erdang’s protagonist is abandoned by his friends who have been with him for 19 years, alienated by his wife who has been in love for many years, and hunted down by the government army to the owner of a fast-food restaurant... It is a strong question from time to time: Are these "people" really humans ?
It is true that human beings are very tasteful creatures. We continue to climb up the social ladder and continuously improve our self-cultivation. Those who are stagnant after climbing to a certain position, those who have different tastes, cultivation bases, and those who are different from us (this difference is often subjectively considered to have a difference between high and low), are often alienated from us, or even marginalized. The ancients have said: Dao is different and does not seek each other. The "Tao" here is more than one explanation. When this kind of discrimination develops to an extreme, that is, a group of races that are completely different from us not only in intelligence but also in physical characteristics (such as skin color, appearance, and even language) are often regarded as "non-human." Once this recognition is passed through interpersonal communication and is recognized by the group and is deeply rooted, the strong group will make some actions against the disadvantaged group that are contrary to human nature but do not hinder the public moral standards, just like the human beings in the movie to the aliens. Everything done, and everything white people have done to Indians.
The protagonist of this film, the small head of urban management, is by no means a classic hero that appeared in previous science fiction films. From the cold-blooded smile at the beginning, the fake fox in the search, the pitiful situation after bad luck, to the recklessness and selfishness of falling down after stunning the alien in the red vest but not driving the aircraft in the end-poor people must be hateful , This person is sympathetic, but also disgusting. At the end of the film, he was completely alienated and showed some human innocence-such as believing that the alien would come back to save him, such as stacking tin flowers for his wife day after day, waiting for hope day after day 's arrival This situation of being spurned by the same kind, but waiting for the rescue of the different kind, makes people feel pantothenic.
The wonderful thing about this film is its exposure to human nature, which is the biggest reason why it will become a classic.
