Attention: This is a book review, not a movie review
The words written in front of the people on earth: This article has to have a lot of spoilers, and it is written in a cosmic style based on the publication of Ursa Minor Books. When reading this article, remember two words: don’t panic ( Don't Panic).
and Thanks for All the Fish). Furthermore, based on Douglas Adams' personal style, I seriously doubt that there is (is or will be) a fifth book. Of course, this question pales in comparison to the moment when the "big white handkerchief came". This text is for dolphins, for the sake of this little, mostly harmless, blue-green planet; it's also for every organic creature in the universe that has always been mindful of towel-carrying creatures. Again: don't panic. Be very, very frightened, Earthlings. Our story begins in a house on the outskirts of England with our protagonist, Arthur Dent, on a horrific and stupid Thursday morning. The story begins with the fact that Arthur Dent's house is doomed to be destroyed on this horrific and stupid Thursday morning due to the construction of a highway bypass; meanwhile, the Milky Way is in the midst of this horror due to the construction of a hyperspace bypass. Stupid Thursday morning was destined to be destroyed. Arthur Dent had to put on a towel and follow his alien friend Ford Perfect as the gigantic deformed Vogon spacecraft landed on Earth, beginning an eight Earth-year voyage of the galaxy. trip. Speaking of Arthur Dent's alien friend, in order to hide his true identity, he gave himself a very unobtrusive human name - Ford Lord, his real name only used a very obscure reference. It can only be read in Susi dialect. But since the dialect is extinct, I cannot make further satisfactory expositions, so I suddenly decided to introduce a very good book about the true identity of Ford Grand Master. This superb book is called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (hereafter replaced by "Silver Man"). It is not an earth book, it has never been published on earth, and no earthlings have seen or even heard of this book until the horrific cataclysm. However, this book is truly an extraordinary masterpiece. For example, the book's foreword begins: "Space, it's vast. It's so vast. You just can't believe how vast, rambling, jaw-droppingly vast it is. I mean, you It might seem like a long way to go all the way to the pharmacy, but for space it's just peanuts. Listen to me... For another example, the book talks a lot about towels. "Towels are basically the most versatile item an interplanetary hitchhiker can have, in part because of their enormous use value." You can wrap up in a towel to keep warm and jump across the icy moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie down in a towel on the splendid marble sandy beach of Santrakins and breathe the intoxicating steam of the sea; You can sleep on the desert planet Kakrafern with a towel over your head, and the stars above your head are so dazzlingly red; you can use a towel as a sail and set up a small raft to sail down the slow-flowing moth river..." Another example, The book says about learning to fly: "...the trick is to learn how to throw yourself on the ground and miss it..." The first bullet point is simple. "Just ask you Have the strength to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and don't mind the pain that's coming. "That said, if you don't miss the ground by accident, it hurts to the death. "The vast majority of people fail to miss the ground, and if they're serious about trying, they're very likely to miss the ground pretty hard. Can miss the ground. "Obviously, the difficulty is reflected in the second point, which is to miss the ground... Potter is the most imaginative novel in the world. Can't the word "magic" be used to describe the thousands of magical concepts in the entire seven-part series? The answer is: of course. I would still say HP is a pretty amazing novel. However, HP's storytelling is still traditional British humor with a classic flavor, and its way of thinking is still fairly normal, because the wizarding world is still connected to the Muggle world through platform nine and three-quarters, over there. of people are still indistinguishable from Muggles in their moral and emotional values. However, "Silver Man" is a novel that will make you laugh and open your mind while reading. It makes you think differently from then on, and its narrative techniques are extremely cosmic from beginning to end. Alien taste. It adopts Western-style nonsense humor, and speaks mad words seriously, while telling the bizarre story step by step with no expression and calmness, while pausing from time to time to intersperse some illustrative content on the "Silver Man" in the novel, to explain the existence of intergalactic to remind readers that you are reading an unprecedented sci-fi masterpiece. You could say the whole novel is gibberish, the stories that take place are all illogical, the causes are terribly simple, the endings are all dramatic, and you don't even know what the point is. Because, according to the book, the Gatravatids of Witward VI believed that "the entire universe was actually punched out of the nose with a sneeze by a being named 'The Green Giant Yak Twitch'". From this point of view, the creation of the universe itself is meaningless. However, this is the charm of "Silver Man". Because when you read such a novel, what you remember will not be the lines strung together by one thing, but the magical points on each line. They are like planets shining in various colors, strung together the entire vibrant galaxy in their own way. There are too many of these magical points. The author has mentioned three or two cases before, and here I will only mention the one that impressed me the most, that poor unfortunate creature, Agrajag. The appearance of this creature is Adams' magic touch. Whether he, or it, or whatever he is, does not affect the development of the main line of the story at all. In order to create this creature, the author inserted a long chapter about him completely out of thin air. However, the appearance of Agrajag does not give the impression that the author pushes a brand-new character to the reader abruptly, forcing the reader to digest it. His appearance is the author's finishing touch. The fate of Aggrajag is simply beyond tragic - he died in Arthur Dent all his life Or any body, the author cleverly turned all the dispensable creatures that Arthur Dent had killed intentionally or unintentionally mentioned before into the reincarnated body of the same person, which made the reader's brains wide open. . Of note is the penultimate reincarnation of Agrajag - being pulled back into the material world and turned into a pot of morning glory. If you read it carefully, you will find that in the first book, the author mentions the thought when Morning Glory first appeared "Oh, no, why is it here again" It laid the groundwork for his appearance in the third book. I dare not say that Adams had all the plots of the whole series in mind when he wrote the first book. I can only say that the emergence of Agrajag is enough to show the author's extraordinary imagination and ability to find the subtle connections between all things. sensitive mind. We move on to the pot of morning glory and its soul brother, the sperm whale. It can be said that Arthur Dent accidentally created them out of thin air in order to save the "Golden Heart", and this location in nature really cannot bear their weight, so, out of "coincidence" , the two bodies both ended this happy and short life after thirty seconds. The word "coincidence" is an interesting word, every coincidence in the universe seems to be a joke of the universe on everything. By coincidence, Arthur Dent saved the Heart of Gold by pressing the impossibility engine with a 1/8767128 chance of being rescued; also by coincidence, Aggrajag died again in into the hands of Arthur Dent, and Arthur Dent never knew it. Isn't this a big joke the universe played on the two of them? Four whole books, no coincidences everywhere. Arthur and Ford were both rescued 29 seconds after being launched into space, and the probability of being picked up by a spaceship in the vast space where life can survive at most 30 seconds is 1/2^2767029, and 276709 is also Islington One. The phone number of the apartment where Arthur met a wonderful girl who was on the ship saving them. This is just another unintelligible coincidence that the islands on the planet Damogran are named "Easter Island" and "France". Those who study the complex interactions of cause and effect in the history of the universe claim that this sort of thing happens all the time, and we can't stop it. Even the Earth has little connection with other planets by coincidence. The Banqiu people have carried out extermination attacks on the galaxy, and their weapons are very similar to cricket bats and cricket balls. Therefore, other planets in the Milky Way have always kept Earth at a distance. Because we play cricket. This may be the reason why people on earth know so little about the universe. Because the universe is afraid, once we learn of the existence of other planets, will we launch an extermination attack on the Milky Way like the Banqiu people? Since the construction of the earth has only one meaning, and that is to calculate the ultimate problem of life, the universe and everything, then there is no need to disrupt the order of life in the entire galaxy for a computer-or simply a mouse experiment, right? However, Earth was destroyed before Earthlings discovered other planets. Also by coincidence, only five minutes left to count The Earth, which calculated the ultimate problem of life, the universe and everything, was destroyed by the Vogons sent from the universe. Why do you say it was sent by the universe? It is not difficult to find that the entire four books revolve around "42", the ultimate answer to everything at the level of life and the universe. solve all problems. The universe has only two words for this: hehe. The second book, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, begins: "There is a theory that if anyone really figured out why and why the universe exists, the universe would immediately disappear and be replaced by something weirder and uglier. Something inexplicable. "Other theories claim that this has already happened. "The question and the answer are incompatible," Plaque, the frog-mouthed, frog-mouthed, utterly ultimate incarnation of the truth in the third book 'Life, the Universe, and All', told Arthur on his deathbed. Knowing one of them logically precludes knowing the other. You cannot know both the question and the answer in the same universe. In fact, the author has already told you that there is no answer to this question. The supercomputer will disappear after all, which is inevitable, and the Vogons came to destroy it by accident. It can be seen that the coincidence is also inevitable. Plaque did not tell Arthur what the ultimate problem was, but left God the last message The location told him. So in the fourth part, Arthur took Finchch reluctantly back on the road to the top of the mountain where the name grew. However, with Marvin's help, he could see the flame letters clearly. I am even more confused. I admit that the message "I'm sorry for any inconvenience" is as completely confusing to me as "42", so it is inconvenient to read too much. But it reminds me of Babel fish (Babel fish) Fish). It's not hard to see that the name of this fish comes from the "Tower of Babel", and its purpose is also obvious - to help you translate languages you don't understand. This astonishing combination of useful things turned out to be the result of accidental evolution - again a coincidence, and even more so when it was used as evidence of the existence of God - and it has resulted in more and bloodier than anything else in the history of intelligent life. war. The poor Babel fish, which feeds on brain waves from start to finish, is as innocent as some sort of green scrap of paper. So the cause of everything in the universe is this simple and stupid. Perhaps at a certain moment when I was writing this article, a magical wormhole suddenly opened, taking these words to a distant and ancient galaxy outside the galaxy, where it started a big war - familiar, "Butterfly effect" was born. A quote from the Mexican film "Amores Perros": "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plan." If you want to make the universe laugh, tell him what you think . Sakafur, Earth, Deep Thought, Heart of Gold, Towels, Mattresses, Sofas, Tea... Do all of these exist, and what effects can they have on the deep universe? I've always believed - before and after I heard about "Silver Man" - that life is reincarnation, the universe is reincarnation, everything is reincarnation. Maybe the ultimate question and the ultimate answer have been answered over and over again by our ancestors, and the universe itself, disappearing, resurrecting, disappearing, and resurrecting, each time becomes more bizarre and inexplicable than the previous one. Thinking of this sci-fi comedy, sometimes I even feel inexplicably sentimental. If Arthur wakes up inexplicably on a rainy night, looks up at the sky, and realizes that it was all just a dream during his vacation in Southern California to avoid the real estate incident, the Vogon spaceship did not appear, the earth still exists, and the Ford Lord still Weird from Guildford, mice or science experiments, dolphins still begging and performing... Thank goodness Adams still has a conscience. After saving the universe twice in one day, Arthur Dent embarks on another cosmic journey. Along the way, he encountered many strange people and things - oh yes, the most amazing restaurant in the history of the universe forgot to introduce. Hey, where is the greatness of that restaurant, I accidentally escaped from the author's mind for a while.
