In the dim lights, use exaggeration to compose profound connotations

Strong spoilers, no viewers are allowed to enter!

I have to say that this film is far below my expectations, but it has its own style. You know, this was not the case when the trailer was released in 2010. I believe that many viewers think like me that just because of the bug-like existence of the Nazis during World War II, 2018 must be with black technology and "stupid earthlings". "Start hand-to-hand combat~

However, the layout of the film, after thinking about it, is indeed reasonable. For example, how do Nazi equipment and clothing give people the feeling of crossing. The Nazis, who fled the earth in 1945, just missed the third industrial revolution of mankind - the electronic computer. In the film, as the cannon fodder confronted the USS George Walker Bush, the walkie-talkie shouted "Where did they (cannonballs) come from!!!", the rusted steel stood in front of the highly electronic precision combat weapons. People are slaughtered and vulnerable,

but why the technology can't keep up, but not sending people to the earth to learn from the scriptures, the film also gives a hint about this. When Klaus wanted to go to Earth to get more mobile phones, the current head of state said, "None of the soldiers we sent in the past came back." When he contacted the two flying saucer pilots on the rooftop to ridicule the head's goatee with pornographic books, almost It is certain that the personnel sent to Earth cannot withstand the temptation of Huahua World. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so how can they go back to eat the lunar pickles of Dog Day~

However, the most brilliant part of the film is the black humor. You say you, behind closed doors on the moon, do not know the moon Surgical technology has long been unable to talk about the same thing, and it would be too arrogant to act rashly without doing an actual investigation. Besides, the politicians on earth, tsk tsk tsk, are really a black mess. For the sake of a little benefit, they don't hesitate to throw nuclear bombs at each other. The ending scene stretches to red Mars, the moons drifting past, and the alarm bells are ringing. You said that you don't cherish such a good environment as the earth, and you still explore what Mars and what immigrants are, tsk tsk tsk,

that's it, mixed with regret, but in the dim light, you can experience the profound connotation of the film. And what is extraordinarily rare is that this is an independent film shot by a personal director. It is really boring to use God's perspective as a benchmark for such a budget-constrained and carefully produced film. Last but not least, it is a matter of opinion whether this film is worth watching or not. I highly recommend this film to audiences who understand military, history, technology, and humanities.
