At first I didn't understand why the poster had a wheat field. The heroine Newton's contact badge did not appear directly in the city, but she stood in the field outside the city. Until the end of the film, when countless recruited dreamers appeared in this golden field. In the ocean, the author suddenly realized that this does not exactly correspond to the song "On the Field of Hope".
Hope is not the key word of this film. Don't give up hope, that's what the movie is about. The so-called future crisis of the destruction of the earth in the movie is nothing more than a predicted and extrapolated possibility. The movie doesn't really get to the point where the crisis happens, it's even far from it. Although the "big villain" Archon David implanted negative thoughts into the people of the earth, the possibility of destruction has reached 100%, but because of Newton's spirit of [not giving up], the future has a deviation of 1/10,000. A little change can shape the future development, and when countless dreamers work together to strengthen their beliefs and make changes, the earth will never reach the end of the day.
The concepts involved in this film are not new. Whether it is the space-time community or the butterfly effect, the cosmic dimension or probability theory, and the love between humans and artificial intelligence, they are all common tricks in science fiction movies in the past, but "Tomorrowland" also Obviously, unlike many apocalyptic themes and wasteland themes, it depicts the coming of disaster and tells about the rebirth of catastrophe. Even it doesn't have the negativity or complex human boundaries of many dystopian movies. The film puts despair and hope, light and darkness on absolute opposites from the very beginning, completely obliterating the gray area in the middle, while the protagonist Newton insists on hope and never gives up. The movie has experienced a ideological shift from the future being built by the elites to the future being built by the dreamers, and it is only about the infinite possibilities of the future. This is, after all, a Disney fairy-tale movie with a teenage protagonist. Therefore, the author believes that if this film is made into an animated feature film, it may be a better choice.
The most important part of watching this film is the imagination and creativity of the film. The depiction of tomorrow's world in this film has a feeling of Jules Verne's near-future science fiction and retro science fiction. No wonder the film also deliberately mentions the father of the world's modern science fiction. In the future world shown in this film, there is no shortage of inventions that have already been born, as well as creations that are about to be realized by prototypes, and ideas that are still in the conceptual stage. In particular, the idea of ​​using the Eiffel Tower as a launch pad to launch retro rockets is easy to think of, but the design of that rocket is exactly what Verne had in mind for rockets. Visually creative, and audibly even more exciting. The soundtrack of the film is futuristic. The overall tone emphasizes a high-tech and ultra-modern feeling, but there is no lack of retro and childishness. It is magnificent, melodious and melodious. And Steve Spielberg's demeanor.
"Tomorrowland" is a genuine Disney real-life fairy tale, different from "Maleficent" and "The Wizard of Wonderland", which are fake fairy tales that describe the hypocrisy of the adult world under the banner of classic fairy tale adaptations. This film is to let teenagers interpret the stories of teenagers, expressing hope in the hands of children, but not telling the rules and philosophy of the adult world through the mouths of children. This is different from the work of most teenage protagonists.
Check out the many classic teen works, whether it's a graphic novel or a novel, the little protagonists face the world of adults. It's not enough for adults to fight on their own, but they burn adult conspiracies and wars on children, making countless innocents who should have had childhood and school life full of intrigue and bloodthirsty carnage. The euphemistic name is: hand over hope to the next generation, let the children recognize the reality as soon as possible, and win all future wars, but this kind of demolition and encouragement will only give birth to deformed existences. In the future, please don't say juvenile works are naive, their world is far more complicated than we imagined.
This "Tomorrowland" not only gives us a glimpse of future life, but also introduces two rising stars in the film industry. Whether it's Brittany Robertson, known as the "second cousin", or Rafe Cassidy, the freckled girl, her performance in the movie is not jerky, but gives a sophisticated impression. Whether they can break through the siege in the era of newcomers, let us wait and see in the field of hope.
