After watching three Jurassic Parks and two Jurassic Worlds, I feel quite emotional. I rarely watch sci-fi. Among my favorite sci-fi movies, Spielberg's work is "Encounter of the Third Kind". I still remember the shock. That long wait is as fascinating and admirable as "2001 A Space Odyssey". There is also one that keeps flashing in my mind, probably the early "THX" by Lucas. Besides, the closer to the real science fiction films, the less I like to watch them, because I can't help but find them. There are many very mentally retarded plot arrangements-after all, people are not gods, and most of the things they do are full of bugs that ordinary people can find. For example, at the end of "Jurassic Park II", do dinosaurs have to be anesthetized on the ship before they can be transported back? In order to lead it to the ship, many people died and many buildings collapsed. For another example, in the latest movie, the newly developed dinosaur with extremely strong combat power has the best prospect of being sold at a high price as an invincible weapon-the director must have made the audience look too mentally retarded, right? Who doesn't know that almost no living creatures appear on the battlefield in modern warfare. Can Velociraptors outperform drones and nuclear weapons?
The latest one was seen in theaters, and it felt familiar, paying homage to the first Jurassic Park in 1993. When I rewatched Jurassic Park in 1993, I was filled with emotion. When I thought of 1993, when I was still watching "The Legend of the New White Snake", there was already such a film on the other side of the ocean that paid equal attention to both stunts and humanities. When the second part came out, my friends were still watching "Han Zhu Ge Ge". It's the same feeling I had when I read "Jobs" and saw the year the iPhone was released. The world has been turned upside down, and I've just used a phone with polyphonic ringtones. In any case, I still appreciate the sensationalism of Spielberg's style. The previous "ET" and "Encounters of the Third Kind" all brought tears to the eyes, and even Kubrick's posthumous work "AI" accepted by him was also sensational A complete mess. Sensation, like stunt, is an essential element of a successful commercial film. After all, Spielberg is not an art film director who has been on the stage. He has always been very skilled at playing. Money is also earned, art is also art, what more can I ask for.
Jurassic Park is adapted from a novel, and I think the author belongs to the kind who has scientific research as endorsement. Not just fanciful fantasies. All five films revolve around the question posed in the first film: Life finds a way. After watching these five movies, I think of the controversial artificial intelligence. In fact, the era of artificial intelligence that we are worried about has not yet arrived, and it is similar to copying the era of dinosaurs that has passed. What human beings worry about, what human beings need to fear, is nature. Scientists should be in awe of their limited knowledge, as the punk-clad mathematician said: We know too little and want to do too much. Something is bound to happen.
In the first part, the huge progress of genetic technology makes people get carried away, and the mathematician warns: You can use frog genes to supplement the lack of dinosaurs and create dinosaurs, but you don't know what will become. You can make dinosaurs, but you can't make everything that was tens of millions of years ago. Every plant and tree, air, water and sunlight, any change in conditions will lead to the unknown. We know too little.
His advice lays the foundation for all the possibilities in the five films.
Dinosaurs, Frankensteins, and artificial intelligence are all products of human beings who have the courage to innovate and have no fear--humans really have nothing to fear, even if the consequences are out of control, the big deal will be extinct. A planet without people would be prettier - as some sci-fi films say, humans are the virus on the planet. From the perspective of the entire universe, why not? Which creature will keep consuming energy beyond meeting the needs of life, and which creature will keep producing non-decomposable waste?
Watching the first episode of "60 Minutes" some time ago, a research team from MIT (led by a Chinese baby-faced guy) developed a tool that can be used to edit gene combinations, which is mainly used in laboratories at this stage. , used on animals. It is convenient to quickly modify the genetic data in the experiment. The medical value of this tool is immeasurable, and some genetic diseases can already be repaired (of course, it is still under development, and it is estimated that it will be put into use in a few decades). This is just the beginning, and many groups have begun to worry about whether this tool will create a "perfect person".
Therefore, it will always be like this, some people are so dizzy with enthusiasm for the unknown, and some people are so revered by the awe of the unknown that they are so terrified that they are afraid to move forward. In the balance of these two forces, before extinction, human beings are struggling to move forward.
