Don't run, we are friends

Strictly judged from the criteria of the movie, the film can only be rated 4 stars, but it brings me as much shock as Jiang Wen’s devil is here,

leaving aside the strong Tim Burton-style personality and plot structure. Isn’t Burton’s depiction of the behavior of Martians very similar to Americans in the troubled times of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China?

While in the spacecraft, the Martians used lasers to wipe out the people on earth, while shouting: "Don't run, we are friends." Everyone, don't you feel familiar?

I am not an angry young man. My speech is not aimed at the United States or Europe, but I want to understand a problem. In the vast universe, all civilizations need as many resources as possible for better development. If an advanced civilization has the power to monopolize A piece of resource, will peacefully "cooperate" with a backward civilization-the vocabulary repeatedly emphasized by the president played by Nicholson-will it develop resources? Don't be naive! Aliens came to the earth not far away for 10,000 light-years, not for some shit, but for seeking resources—just like the pioneers such as Magellan and Columbus in the Age of Navigation For peace.

Finally, as a very literary and fantastical Burton work, the film still retains the minimum scientific limits of science fiction. For example, the chewing gum of Martians is actually a high concentration of nitrogen. Forgotten.

The Martians are very cute, some are very dark, humorous, some are very wicked, some are more than normal films of the same theme like Independence Day, some are not
