In the 1980s, the United States made a similar movie, depicting the Martians invading the earth. The way they fell was not lightning, but a fireball. The killing was not made with a weapon that evaporates a person but leaves clothes behind, but burns a person. The ashes of death. The fireball fell to the ground, and the surrounding metal was magnetized. In those days, the alien spacecraft had no legs, but floated. There would be a dead light emitter above the spacecraft, which emits deadly light. In the new version, these designs are more reasonable, but the clothes left after death makes people feel more horrible. The ways and results of humans fighting aliens in the new and old versions were similar, and all were wiped out, but it seems that the new version depicts the world ruled by aliens more terrifying and bloody. The ending of the aliens is the same in the two versions. They were invaded by viruses and bacteria, died out, and died completely clean, without leaving one. The protagonist in the old version of the film is a scientist. He obtained a blood sample of aliens and found that they have very few white blood cells. However, in the new version, because the focus of the description is on the Tom Cruise family, this is not mentioned.
In the new version, the Tom Cruise family went from shock to collapse, to anger. The son entered the war. To save his daughter, he even killed an alien machine. This is probably a typical American counterattack, just like Pearl Harbor being defeated by Japan. It was the same after the bombing, but they wanted to retaliate but couldn't do it.
Spielberg gave more shots to ordinary people. They were interested, ran away, beat you to death for a car, and fought for the leadership of the territory. The aliens were still on the sidelines, so they would fight first.
This is man, who has struggled for survival for millions of years and has become the ruler of the earth, but when disaster strikes, he still does not give up his nature.
What is worth thinking about here is that aliens are not destroyed by humans, a race that thinks they are the rulers of the universe, but by viruses and bacteria that humans hate. Yes, viruses and bacteria are enemies of humans in Western medicine. They swallow almost everything. We human beings love things, but aliens are also the dishes on their table. They come and eat everything. The whole universe is their food. Humans can only choose to live peacefully with them.
