No matter how similar Miao Xing and Avatar are, it is unfair to say that it is Luc Besson's version of "Avatar". The atmosphere of the opening chapter shows that Bei Ye's ambition this time.
The large-scale appearance of the Chinese national flag and the big bowl of wide-noodles on the Chinese astronaut Chinese broadcast, as well as the exquisite special effects and magnificent pictures that are absolutely worthless, Mr. Bei has done his utmost to Chinese investors, and the French are really good friends of the Chinese people.
There are many reasons for the box office hit. The unpleasant male and female protagonists are procrastinating in their emotional scenes (maybe it is their own psychological hints, Dai Hanhan and Carrara really have no spark), and we are familiar with Hollywood routines. There is still a slight gap between the chatter-style cold joke) and the Bei-style aesthetic (that is called tm, a flamboyant punk killing Matt), the script is out of the comics and is highly original, but the logic is not very smooth in many places, the Miao Xingren universe loves forgiveness Also a little suspicious...
However, the hard-core space images and scientific elements, and the novel characters of the male and female protagonists (the love between the feminine and morbid male protagonist and the steel lace female protagonist that is not for the purpose of marriage is a hooligan$%, very feminist) , The reflection on human nature and human desire from the perspective of Miao Xingren has a certain philosophical depth (I hear the phrase "unless you let go of your past, you will not have a future"), interspersed with Rihanna's small MV Funny cameo with Ethan Hawke... Despite its flaws, even though it's too much like an updated version of The Fifth Element, that doesn't prevent it from being a good movie, a movie worth going to the cinema.
Finally, I would like to talk about the theme of Miao Xingren. Putting "Interstellar Agent" and "Avatar" together, Cameron and Luc Besson have fictionalized for us a similar pre-industrial human being in the distant stars. Divine" civilization, these civilizations have no obvious class differentiation, no damage and pollution caused by industry, pure natural beliefs make them kind-hearted, beautiful natural environment makes them beautiful, and the arrival of human beings is like Europe in the New World Visitors bring only destruction. In fact, this version of the story is not new at all, not even about the depths of the universe, but only about the reflection of human society itself. Rousseau and Thoreau had already reflected on it a hundred or two hundred years ago, but they did not. Come up with any good solutions, once the wheel of industry and technology starts to roll, it can only go forward, and their reflections only warn us to slow down.
However, human society is always like the commander in this film, making a mistake, but always making up for it with more mistakes.
