In the opinion of director Tim Burton, when a crisis comes, the bureaucratic style of politicians, the militant behavior of soldiers, and the vain and boring reports of the media cannot resolve the danger at all, only the spirit of sharing weal and woe, supreme family affection, Even the crystallization of human thought - music and art, is the best way to save mankind itself. In the end, the Martians did not fall on the atomic bomb with the power to destroy the entire earth; it was not on the "peace" speech of politicians' rhetoric, but on a piece of jazz that an old grandmother listened to. It must be said that it is a satire of tradition. Sexual subversion, a redemptive irony of today's science fiction films and even American society in a dark humorous way.
The president of the United States, played by Jack Nicholson, who is vain and self-righteous, has a "brilliant" speech talent, and even his speech talent is enough to deceive many audiences, when the Martians come to Congress to make a "peace" agreement, he feels himself A very good photogenic limelight was snatched away by MPs. In my opinion, the president of the United States could have completed his mission when the Martian incarnated as a beauty infiltrated the White House, but the director gave him the chance to make a peace speech to the Martian at the end. . The final speech was really moving, the rich expressions, the cadence, the careful logic, maybe enough to impress anyone, and even make the Martian "shed a tear", what an ironic tear, his life is also The moment I shook hands with the Martian leader was over. I think, Tim Burton is here to satirize the characteristics of politicians' "smiling tigers", and their knives in their smiles are enough to "kill people".
In the end, it was the young man who defied danger and rescued his grandmother, and the jazz about love that his grandmother listened to. Perhaps art is a kind of redemption for human beings for their own sins, or the director wants to use such a method to arouse people's conscience of pursuit and love for art, perhaps because of the commercialization trend of American society, people A well-meaning reminder to ignore art.
In the 1990s, film technology has developed to a certain level, and the director seems to miss the era of his line-making B-level films, so he used a slightly rough background and props in this film to cherish and ridicule today's Perhaps it was the tempering at that time that made him the master of art today. I think what remains unchanged is Tim Burton's black humorous ridicule and consistent pursuit of art!
