Say it's not enough.
After watching it, many people feel that the biggest failure is the blunt mix of two themes: the first half is "resolving difficulties and ascending to the stars", family affection, friendship and love; the second half is "solving puzzles and recognizing ancestors", science science and science fiction. Some people say "it's great to shoot the story on Mars directly, why bother for a long time"; some people say "this is a work that put together ideas": it's all because of this screenwriter's flaw.
In addition, some people think: Since the Martians want to invite the people of the earth to recognize their ancestors, and they will just leave a relic on the earth, why should they hide on Mars to get a "human face"?
I think the writers and directors did not think much when they were writing the script. In fact, this film could have solved the above problems and made it better. It's not troublesome at all to do it -
first of all, in the first half of the description of "removing difficulties and getting to the stars", the cooperation and wisdom of the astronauts are emphasized more, so that the audience realizes that being able to land on Mars is a result of human EQ and IQ reaching a certain level. the result of.
Secondly, the "first to the stars" bridge was removed, and all astronauts represented humans in the same mission to reach Mars for the first time and encountered "puzzles".
Finally, with the help of human’s own dialogue, we will answer why the ancestors of Mars did not recognize relatives on Earth: if relics are set up on earth, they will be discovered by humans very early, and the result must be destroyed by ignorant humans; Humans intuitively feel the tragic situation of "destroyed homes", and it represents a test - if humans are not capable of landing on Mars, there is no need to invite them, because lower-level humans are not enough to "work together". When human beings reach Mars with the help of their emotional intelligence and technology, and solve the puzzle, they also pass the ability test, and then they are qualified to share the achievements of civilization.
In this way, the front and back plots reach a unity, and there is even the possibility of a new higher theme: love is the common language of life in the universe.
