"Landscape of Lost Wars" is a movie that does not present many new ideas (words Then again, which film can be called purely original?), but it also provides an opportunity to re-experience the classic elements, presented on the IMAX screen in breathtaking and exquisite pictures. As far as the picture is concerned, "Legacy" is probably the most beautiful blockbuster I have ever seen, even better than the picture of "Prometheus".
2. Some people say that this film is boring. It can only be said that this piece of stuffy children's shoes may not be suitable for watching this kind of film at all, it has nothing to do with the quality of the film itself. If you don't like "Prometheus", you won't like this 80%. The two films are very similar in style and design, such as the relatively slow (but not boring) section, the post-modern concise and exquisite sci-fi prop design, and the magnificent and magnificent scenes, but the difference is "general repair". R-level horror, "Lost" conveys more "positive energy" (detailed below); "Puxiu" is a beautiful nightmare that seeks "Where do we come from", and "Lost" is about "who I am" , Is a journey of salvation.
3. You can say that "Legacy" is an enhanced version of "Moon" with special effects and layout, but this is not accurate. It also talks about human cloning. "The Moon" discusses the ethical issues of human cloning (but it is only limited to this), and the attitude towards human cloning is generally negative and unsupportive; while "Legend of War" seems to skip The discussion of ethical issues directly staged a redemptive drama of human cloning. Speaking of clones, "Moon" is obviously worse than "Blade Runner" too much. "The Moon" seems to be moving, but it lacks something more essential and pure, which ends up on the surface. From the perspective of "emotional" alone, "Legacy" is no worse than "Moon":
"I want Julia to live... This is the only way"
"Fuck you, Sally"
The desolation and sorrow are even more pleasant grudges, human nature's counterattack against machines and systems. Of course, "Lost" is not as good as "Silver Wing".
4. Some people say that "Legacy" is very similar to the director's last movie "Genesis", and it's half a catty in the level. This is nonsense. In fact, the two films have basically no similarities except for the electronic soundtrack. As a fan of Tron, I still have to say that "Legacy" is much better than "Genesis" in every aspect, except for the soundtrack of course. It can be seen that the director has made obvious progress in balance and action scenes/plots. Of course, it’s not right to say that "Creation" and "Lost" have no similar elements in the "ideas"; in "Chuang" there is an electronic copy of "Cru", and "Lost" has a biological copy of "Jack Hubble". ". This can also be seen as a label for the director's current two films.
5. Science fiction is "idea literature", but science fiction movies are not "idea movies". Don't expect to discover the shocking and exciting science fiction theories and ideas for the first time in a science fiction film, because movies are forever decades slower than novels. The media are all different, and the differences need not be elaborated. So things like "Is there any new idea at all, what kind of shattered science fiction film" is very silly and naive. The best and most “new” ideas are always at the forefront of science that most ordinary people simply dismiss. In a certain scientific paper, in the head of a strange guy, a certain one might never have been possible decades ago. Have the opportunity to be made into a science fiction movie. Movies are movies after all, and they are for people to watch (nonsense); the so-called classics of science fiction films do not lie in how novel a certain idea is, but whether the idea can collide with human philosophy to produce enough drama or grief (such as silver). wing).
6. "Dream is the link between a person and the previous life", and the same is true for clones. Their previous lives are the "ontology". So almost all science fiction movies about clones use the killer trick of "dreamland" and if you see a person dreaming in a science fiction movie, then he is probably a clone (joke...). This is true whether it is the connotation-based "Blade Runner", the popcorn-based "Escape from the Island Clone", or even the influential "Resident Evil 5". The same goes for "Landscape of Lost Wars" from the "Experience Department". In science fiction films, dreams seem to be a symbol of humanity. Some people say that the memory of the Jack Harper clone of "Lost" has not been completely erased, which is a bug. It is indeed a bug, a bug of the machine sally, but not a bug of the movie. Jack Harper was cloned into a soldier and a repairman. This purpose made it impossible for Sally to completely erase his memory. Instead, he must retain a considerable part of his humanity and human cognition so that the machine can perform its functions normally. And Harper's persistent love for his wife Julia kept this part, and it exists in the consciousness of the clone in the form of a dream. This became the most significant hidden danger that Sally left for her perfect colonial plan. Of course, Sally itself, as a machine, may not care too much about what problems may arise due to this. Although she was very clever arranging (the same) a man and a woman as partners...on every rooftop.
7. If dreams carry human nature, then books are the carrier of people's beliefs. In science fiction films, they often become an incentive for people "within the system" to get out of the system. Jack Harper "accidentally" picked up a book in the cave, "Lays of Ancient Rome" (Thomas Babington Macaulay), so he started reading and thinking. "How can I die without fear of death, in order to protect the temple of faith and find the footprints of ancestors", And how can man die better /Than facing fearful odds / For the ashes of his fathers,/ And the temples of his gods? "This corresponds to Harper who knew from the beginning that he "will leave the earth and go to the Titans soon" but he has a special attachment to the earth. In "1984" the protagonist Winston picked up a book that was not allowed by the system. His diary (albeit blank) began to move towards the anti-system of no return; in "The Torn Doomsday", the two most astute minions in the system started to go against the system because they picked up a "Bible". The path of the system. "Landscape of Lost" uses similar classic bridges. And, in essence, although Sally is a highly intelligent machine, her colonial rule is similar to the extremes in dystopian films such as "1984". The lies and the extreme surveillance mechanism to maintain totalitarian rule are the same. Sally is the "old sister" in "Legend of War". Therefore, "Legend" can not only be regarded as the awakening of artificial intelligence and the awakening of human beings and enslaving mankind. The apocalypse is also a dystopian science fiction film.
8. The ingenious thing is that Sally, the "bad consequences" that may be caused by the great development of machines in this "Landscape of Lost" are not from the earth (although it does reflect the development of human beings on the earth), but from Alien, an incarnation of a highly intelligent space object "Tet". So a wonderful "Meeting with Rama" was staged. Like Rama, Tet appeared in the solar system without warning, with an unknown purpose, so the humans sent a landing spacecraft. The difference is that the mysterious Ramayao came and went, without showing any purpose from beginning to end. Tate is different. The Odyssey became a decoy, so the few of the most elite of mankind turned into Tate's weapon to defeat the earth. Astronauts, senior intellectuals, technical acquaintances, and military training backgrounds, clone Harper became Tate’s weapon for fighting and fighting against each other. Incidentally, there were also senior maintenance workers to maintain and maintain the post-war "production line". . In 60 years, the earth's resources were almost squeezed out by Tate and turned into a waste star. Tate obtained the resources of a planet at the lowest cost and the fastest, and was almost the perfect criminal in the history of the colonization of the galaxy's planet. The "attack of clones" and the mysterious alien invaders are not new, but they are also new when they are connected together.
9. The NASA landing spacecraft "Odyssey" in the film is directly named (even if it is not, it is naturally easy for people to contact) "2001 A Space Odyssey" needless to say. On Sally's countless drone drones whose mission is to destroy the remaining humans, the iconic "big red eye" is like the reincarnation of HAL 9000.
10. A scene of the canyon battle between the bubble vehicle and the drone, borrowing from "Star Wars" and "Independence Day".
11. Some people think that the first hour is too slow, but I don’t think even if there is another one hour later, this is a very amazing hour, at least in terms of perception. Apocalyptic earth, 360-degree bubble aircraft, Apple suite on the sky tower, beauty partner, occasionally go down to take a look at the machine, I also shouted at the disused Super Bowl arena, recalling the past, soaring on the sci-fi version of Harley and galloping in the Wild West, occasionally beats aliens, and when he is sleepy, he takes a nap in the lake-view villa deep in the mountains and has a daydream of a lover in a tryst. No one will refuse this kind of beauty. This is the dual presentation of vision and worldview in the film. Seeing this, the fare is worth it. The remaining 1 hour is the subversion and reshaping of the world view. When the scam was revealed, it was learned that some of them were fake, including Harper himself... So a journey of redemption of clones was staged, and in the process, it was conveyed that "the prodigal had changed his past." A series of "positive energies" such as going to the meeting single-handedly, killing the enemy and saving his wife, and finally dedicating himself to liberate all mankind. It doesn't matter which Harper or No. 52 Harper and Julia is the original match. When the erased memory is retrieved, when the true self is awakened, the castrated humanity returns, and when "I am him" becomes a consensus, that is no longer a problem.
