I reread "Ender's Game" on my Kindle to bring my favorite science fiction to the big screen.

(Middle: "Ender's Game", Taiwan: "War Game").

// Spoiler, friends who haven't watched it and plan to watch it, it's better to stop here and turn around. //

Like calculating that there are readers like me, the movie is quite greedy to copy the thousands of schedules in the novel on a two-hour scale. For viewers who haven't read the novel, the whole movie may seem like a roller coaster that goes through mountains and borders without braking. Readers who have read the novel (like me) have to struggle to digest this kind of knuckle-to-elbow relationship. Will be grafted.

In addition to Ender's brother and sister being reduced to cutscenes, things that were never moved out of the movie, and the novel at the end of the book in the form of a postscript to describe the protagonist's future career development:

when Ender was sure that he would never return to his hometown, the fate of Earth, Bringing the last egg in the universe that can hatch the queen of worms left behind by the genocide caused by him alone, searching for the traces of raw mouths for the extinction of alien races, killing time in the cosmos light-years and light-years, and speaking for the deceased everywhere Leave a book. His fellow clan only remembers him as "the savior of mankind on the brink of extinction", but they don't know that there is a legend in the universe about this "spokesperson of the dead".

(The next sequel to the original book, "Speaker for the dead")

is just an afterword, published in the final pages of the book, where Ender's career changes (like a hapless coin that rolls down the sewer and keeps reverberating and reverberating). the same) shook me out of control.

It's something that I never had in my last reading experience. Either the old version didn't have this postscript for advertising, or I wasn't ready to be shocked at all.

I know the origin of the shock:

after I was able to overcome the great sorrow brought by the death of my close relatives, I also had this indescribable intention and momentum, and wanted to leave them with a deeper and more vivid even if it was written. , audio-visual, verbal, and even needless to say the old reality, just like they have not stopped living and breathing, and I know what they actually think and how they will do it.

It should be what people say: "The dead are inscribed in the hearts of the living".

    The old man taught the child to fight bugs, but they lied to him! It's a pretty good 2013 sci-fi film. The front is like a children's space adventure film. At the end, there is a discussion on the origin and reproduction of species similar to "Prometheus", which adds extra points to this surprise and surprise.
