Sorry, I'm too old-fashioned, I only watched this movie in 2019, and I was so excited to see it.
This starts with my reading of danmei literature.
When I first read danmei literature, I read a bunch of space-related novels. Zerg, command headquarters, warheads and the like are too familiar. Many of the plots in it seem to be found in danmei literature.
For example, the emotional entanglement of two couples of men and women, if it is incorporated into the danmei literature of 00~10 years, must be as follows:
Man A was originally a couple with No. 1, No. 1 bitch, broke up with A, and got together with No. 2.
B man chases A man. At first, A man ignores B man. Finally, after number 1 greens A man, after a series of events, A and B join hands to fight against the Zerg. They will become the heroes of the story, based on the protagonist's halo , they will not die, they will live to the end, although someone in the middle may be caught by the Zerg.
As for numbers 1 and 2, they may have continued to bitch, hated readers, and ended up sacrificing for the good of humanity.
Here are the things related to the danmei in my memory.
---------
I haven't investigated whether the theme of human against Zerg originated from here, but this theme is indeed mentioned in many works.
As for the irony mentioned by many people, to be honest, at the beginning, before the male protagonist joined the army, I thought it was more ironic, and the stories told after that had nothing to do with irony.
At first, as a viewer, I wondered if the Zerg was a government fabrication to control the regime (or deliberately underpowered to keep the army in power), and then it turned out not to be.
As for the mention of violence to solve everything, humans are taking this approach at the current stage. If they are wrong, they will also be punished. After all, at the end, they caught the bug to study it.
The relationship between bugs and humans is still superficially discussed at present. It is only the relationship between killing and being killed. For example, after the worm sucks the brain, whether it will acquire human memory or whether it will improve intelligence, these are not mentioned.
I saw that the hero died in the middle, and was treated in a glass jar. At that moment, I thought it was the hallucination of the hero. He was controlled by insects, so that he quickly won the victory of annihilating the insects. But the story did not develop in this paradoxical direction, and it was quite normal.
There is also a situation where the whole nation is a soldier, and those entertainment industries may die out. The power of human beings is concentrated in one direction, and the development of science and technology may be faster.
The information obtained by the human side is that the individual insects have no consciousness and have a unified will, which can ensure the survival of the race. But this is not the case with human beings. If human beings unify their will, they are not human beings, but a tool of some higher creature.
The most annoying thing is the weapons. It's already the age of the big universe, and you still use machine guns, grenades and the like. Can't the weapons in "Star Wars" ten years ago still inspire you?
Also, is the air of the Zerg directly suitable for human breathing? Can humans directly adapt to the gravity of the Zerg planet?
On the whole, there are still some traces of the previous cosmic adventure films-people are omnipotent, and they are just like in the earth on an alien planet. The scene of today's sci-fi movies is definitely not like this.
I suddenly remembered that 10 years later, there seems to be no science fiction films such as space exploration. Even things in space are basically in the solar system. (Excludes superhero, does not include sequels to classic films such as Star Trek)
