Maybe the movie can express more than the novel, but it makes the expression more refined and more targeted.
It can be seen that the work intends to have a metaphor for the situation of the entire earth country. A metaphor for the Second World War that has happened, and the Cold War that followed.
Because in the last one, Ender saved the earth, but couldn't go back to his hometown because a Warsaw group wanted to kill him (I guess because of that big nose Russian kid's accident). His older brother controlled the Union government (US) behind the scenes. His violent, smart older brother. Will protect him but more to use him.
i had a brother. had? have. He must have wished his brother had died.
Argument:
The topic that has been discussed throughout the show is, if a person (country) holds a weapon without making a sound, is he your enemy? If he goes first, should you bring him down? Then he declined and said, did he do it first?
Does he want to attack you, or does he want to protect himself from your attack?
The personality test that Ender passed early in the morning and the conflict between Ender and his classmates were all about this topic.
How would you react if someone hit you first. The instructor's satisfactory answer is to bring him down!
The female instructor was more concerned about Ender's empathy, and Ender had passed her test earlier.
Later, the female instructor was dismissed, which led to the final tragedy of extinction.
In fact, brother and sister, one is too violent and the other is too weak. Ender was the balance of the two, and he was right about his refutation of the instructor's genocidal attack strategy, his sympathy for the Zerg. But at the same time he defended his race by force.
The three children in the story describe three attitudes about war. Because Ender was a perfectly balanced child, any decision he made about the war was objectively correct.
The story portrays Ender as a human hero, and is preaching an attitude toward how human world wars should be handled, defending yourself while maintaining empathy, knowing your enemies, and loving your enemies.
And your enemy can sometimes transform and become your best friend, which is why Ender recruited Bernard.
Guilt:
Ender is so full of guilt for the manslaughter child that he is too sad to continue playing. Just like what the queen said to Ender at the end (in the text):
Our slaughter was not intentional, and when we learned about it, we didn't plan to invade again. We thought we were the only intelligent beings in the universe until we met you, but we never thought that those individual creatures who couldn't take in the thoughts of others were also intelligent beings. How would we know? We could have lived in peace, trust us, trust us, trust us.
However, Ender's guilt is different from the guilt of the queen.
Ender's advantage was envied by the children, and the other children first fought and defended Ender vigorously, causing other children to be killed and injured. Ender was the stronger side, and Ender felt guilty for winning. But he did not initiate the conflict.
And the queen! She first launched an invasion for the earth's resources, causing mankind to almost become extinct. If it hadn't been for a human hero to appear, the human race would have been killed and injured more, or even extinct! The point is that after the Queen of Worms was defeated, she found that she was the weaker party and began to quietly arm herself for self-defense.
If the queen insect invades successfully, she knows that she is the strong party and will treat humans as low-level beings!
In my opinion, this is because she wants to come to the earth and squeeze soft persimmons, and does not want "soft" persimmons to be extremely hard! (It sounds very similar to the behavior of a certain country in World War II.) The
worm said: "We could have lived in peace, believe us, believe us, believe us."
Some people say that emphasizing is denying. repeat three times! The credibility of this sentence is as unbelievable as when Ender removed the monitor, the doctor said, "It won't hurt at all!"
I think, if the Zerg really have an advantage over human intelligence, they can communicate with their minds, why can't they control the population?
Ending:
This time, Ender's counterattack was the same as in the fights with the children in the past, fueled by strong defense and the deceitful anger of the mentor, leading to the extinction of the other party. After communicating with the queen of insects, he said that he could not allow the Zerg to reproduce, that would make mankind fall into war again.
Finally, many years passed, and "Ender often carried a dry white cocoon, looking for a paradise to wake up the mother and let her offspring reproduce and grow in peace. He has been searching for a long time. -end"
story The most subtle is that the use of children's fights and games is a counterexample to ridicule the childishness and mistakes of the beginning of the war.
Whether the war is the subjective will of the racial group, or the violent mistake of the leader's willful anger, once someone takes a small step in the conflict, the other party will take a big step to respond, step by step, and die.
Two children fought and one died accidentally. The game of 11-year-old Ender, who wiped out a planet. (The suicide strategy is also sharp.)
