About the three sci-fi movies "District 9", "2012" and "FAQs about Time Travel".
Let's talk about the ninth district first. This is the first to watch, and it feels full of darkness. The alien "prawns" lived in slums, feared and discriminated against, and the indigenous people of the earth blasted them into concentration camps through bloodshed and demonstrations. The protagonist, a docile and timid civil servant, is widely known because he undertakes the task of commanding the migration, and is also used as an experiment because he is infected with an alien virus that mutates and can manipulate alien weapons. A ruthless government and deceived people, fleeing, cooperating with aliens, sacrificing themselves. His voice of wanting to go home was so weak, and his sacrifice was ultimately insignificant, the "traitor" was gradually forgotten, and the remaining aliens continued their miserable lives.
What human beings do to aliens in the film is just a reappearance of the conflict between human beings. The extremely absurd facts are presented in the form of very realistic news reports. When the protagonist's body is mutated, his mind is also changing. Fear and disapproval of social values ​​are expressed in external forms, and a lot of violent scenes made me give up watching it for a while, so let's just use it as a way for the director to convey his thoughts.
"2012" has different opinions. Some people are proud of the phrase "the ark can only be built by China", but I think this is just another manifestation of China as the world's processing factory. Who was the ark built for? Heads of state, social elites, people who can afford 1 billion euros for a ferry ticket, and what is the proportion of the rich in China? Don't forget to drive the construction workers off before sailing. Those construction workers know that they are not building a dam, but they can't think of what it is for.
Also, not to mention the individual heroism of typical Americans, would those heads of state really give up their safety at the last moment to let others on board? Since so many people have been sacrificed, do they still care about the extravehicular? After seeing countless cities destroyed in an instant, countless people turned to ashes in an instant, everything that I usually believed in completely collapsed. I am afraid that the role of traumatic stress response is not something we can reasonably speculate on. The fundamental reason for the existence of species is the instinct to survive. Animals will act according to their instincts. What about people who lose their calm and reason?
"FAQs about Time Travel" is much easier. The story always revolves around a small bar. Three down-and-out "imagineers" encounter beautiful women from the future and travel countless times in the toilet. There are no profound principles and dazzling techniques, no special effects and wonderful fights. , but has the unique humor and self-deprecation of the British. The three experienced the ups and downs of being worshipped and being hunted down, and finally returned to their ordinary days. However, it was sold out at the end. The twists and turns are always unexpected. It is suitable to watch when you are in a bad mood, and you feel that miracles will happen in the seemingly pale, mediocre and boring details of life around you. Maybe you turn into the next alley, the end of the alley is another life.
What is the point of watching science fiction movies? If you give up heavy thoughts and warnings, put aside reflection on reality and humanistic care, you will add a color to life. Truly immersive, briefly living elsewhere. And when the movie ends, we go back to the real world.

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel quotes

  • Ray: Chaos theory is basically the idea that tiny things can have huge consequences. So because you delayed me from going through there, all of the little things that I was going to do have been delayed subsequently, and that has a knock-on effect - which can totally change the future.

    Cassie: So... So wait, that means you're going to drink your pint a little bit later, which means... You're going to go to the bathroom a little bit later... My God Ray, you're right! That's terrible, we're all doomed!

    Ray: Time travel. It'll turn your brain into spaghetti if you let it. Best not to think about it. Best just to get on with the job in hand. Which is destroying the enemy before they're even born and have a chance to threaten us. We're expecting any resistance to be light, because the ancestors of our enemies have yet to evolve any thumbs... or indeed spines. But that does not change the fact that they may one day evolve into a species that may pose a threat to us. And for that reason, we are going to rain down a fiery death upon them that will turn the surface of their planet into a radioactive desert! Because we are the planetary peace corps! And that is what we do! Now, are you nappy-wearing motherfuckers ready to lock and load, and *get it on*?
