When I saw the poster and introduction, I thought, isn't this the color of the stars in my mind!
Cthulhu lovers should not be unfamiliar with The Colour Out of Space. This short story by Lovecraft tells the story of local creatures starting after a peculiar meteorite hits a valley. Various mutations occurred, and the flowers, plants and trees were dyed with strange colors. Even the local residents were not spared and turned into ashes in madness. According to eyewitnesses, the initiator of this ecological disaster should be the following The extraterrestrial 'monster' that the meteorite came to the earth. This 'monster' has no entity, just a cloud of indescribable color.
Although it is indescribable, my friends and I both said that when I read this article, what came up in our brains was the disgusting and sticky rainbow color emitted by gasoline in the sun. This is why when I saw the poster, I thought of the color of the stars. .
For the source of inspiration for
"The Color of the Stars" was published in 1928, and it was in this year that the infamous "Radium Girl" incident became a hot news at the time: black-hearted capitalists tricked female workers into contacting radium-containing paints without protection. , resulting in irreversible radiation damage, and even the corpse emits fluorescence after death. You can Baidu for details, and I won't go into details here.
Let's talk about the title of the movie
"When matter and its antimatter meet, complete matter-energy conversion will occur, resulting in energy forms such as photons. This process is annihilation (English: annihilation), also known as mutual destruction, cancellation, and pair annihilation."
The most common example in our daily life is the generation of gamma rays, that is, two photons with equal energy and opposite directions are emitted after the collision of positive and negative electrons, which is also one of the imaging principles of PET-CT (knock on the blackboard).
Although I didn't quite understand the relationship between annihilation and the theme of the movie at the end, the familiar colors in the sky, the familiar aliens, and the ubiquitous metaphor for radiation (the title of the movie, and the relationship between radiation and cancer) ), we have every reason to believe that Annihilation is a tribute to the love of craftsmanship.
Additions are welcome.
