The famous "Red Son" has finally been adapted into an animation! Alas, in recent years, DC's live-action movies and animated movies have always been poorly evaluated. Batman's Deadly Joke, Batman vs. Superman, and Justice League have all been criticized. Today, let's talk about Superman Red Son alone, the comic book adaptation movie.
In the comics, Superman is still the idealistic dictator with a hammer and sickle on his chest. Luthor is also the "great" pragmatist American leader. Batman is still the unwilling fighter for democracy. Wonder Woman is also that detached egalitarian hermit. Brainiac is still the manipulator of hidden ambitions within that system. Lewis Lane is also the journalist who believes in free speech and opposes dictatorship.
The story is still the struggle between the utopian perfect world and the dystopian reality. Why did Superman fail? It is still the ugly nature of human beings, and it is difficult to accept an overly idealized society; why did Luther succeed? Still a humanist, he created a development path that is compatible with human nature and survival. Control and liberation, enslavement and freedom, have become a political paradox of "no fish when the water is clear, and no fish when the water is turbid".
Animation outside of the comics cuts out plots that are bad for American politics. Replacing the irony of capitalism with political correctness deepens the mockery of communism. Today, when the competition between China and the United States is intensifying, socialism with Chinese characteristics has shown a strong competitiveness and vitality different from the Soviet model. The perfect capitalist concept that the United States has believed in for hundreds of years has been rejected by the economic slowdown and social contradictions. Drink it up. Under suspicion, defending creeds and ideas has become a must for this animated film.
