three points of interest

On Earth Day, the most appropriate movie is "The Day the Earth Stood Still", and I gave it three stars because although the movie has a good theme, and I especially like Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly Acting, but all wasted. In order to protect the earth and destroy human beings, this idea is very bold and novel, and together with the handsome and beautiful faces, it has become the three major highlights of this film.

It's a pity that the thunder was loud and the rain was small. The aliens really lived up to the title of aliens. They were able to be influenced by human beings and gave up their mission. For aliens, the human soul is too dirty, which makes human beings feel uncomfortable, but it has to be admitted that except for a few pure souls (a relatively low proportion), this is really the case. Watching this film is between good and bad. In fact, I really want to see the vitality of the earth after human beings are wiped out, but I can't do it. In reality, we watched humans multiply rapidly and invaded the entire planet like ants, but even the movie was not enough.

But why is this film still worth watching? In addition to the three major points, I think the most important thing is to think: Is human beings really the spirit of all things? Or Earth Destroyer? Every year on Earth Day, we all do gestures, but how do we do them in our daily lives?

I hope we remember the lines in the film and stop thinking of ourselves as the supreme species on this planet:

- Why have you come to our planet?

- Your planet?

- Yes, this is our planet.

- No, it is not.
