First of all, let the friends who have not read the original book understand a little. The original book was published in 1953. The original book has no political metaphor. It is only the viewer's own yy to compare the super-intelligence to communism. The original text states that under the control of the super-lord, communism, capitalism, monarchy, dictatorship, various regimes and ideologies can operate perfectly and adapt to the needs of this society.
Secondly, regarding the fact that the super master looks like a demon, first of all, the super master in the original book is not like a demon, it is somewhat similar but not the same. The super master in the original work has feathers. Secondly, in the original work, it was kicked into the early religious sacrifices. People occasionally touched this spiritual connection, and they would connect with each other. This spiritual connection transcends time and space, and the laws of time can be broken. This is how ancient prophets can see the future. The reason for the superhero appearance.
A few other things are discussed below as much as possible.
First, in 1953, before humans even landed on the moon, Arthur Clarke's novel was already exploring the end of life's evolution. Here is a correction to the opinion of some audience members, who think that the Super Lord is actually slaughtering in the name of evolving human beings. If you think so, it shows that you are too narrow-minded. If you really like science, science fiction, and philosophy more, you should understand a situation, the gap in intelligence of life, or the gap in evolution, will bring people not aliens, but differences in species . I like to illustrate this point with part of Liu Cixin's short novel "Supporting Human Beings". If people are divided into groups, and one group has received high-quality education, then this group of people only knows more and has more knowledge than the other group, but if, in the novel, the technology that directly implants knowledge into the brain appears in society, and this The price of technology is high, and only the rich can afford it. Therefore, the rich can learn many languages and knowledge in a very short period of time, and then evolve from the level of intelligence, which is something that the poor cannot achieve in a lifetime. Naturally, there is no way to integrate into the circle that the rich communicate with. This process intensifies the independence of the rich and the poor. The rich circle of high intelligence produces their own culture and art, which are completely impossible for the poor who have not been transformed by intelligence. Understandably, it's like you can't get a dog to understand a symphony. So rich and poor have evolved into different...species.
Having said so much, what do I want to explain? In this movie, at least in this world view, the end point of life's evolution is the fusion of thinking and consciousness. In a sense, the fusion of consciousness becomes super-intelligence. This concept is too advanced for both the characters in the novel and the readers in reality. This gap is not the gap between you and me, but the gap between you and me. You are a higher species than me. This theory of evolution is unacceptable to flesh-and-blood human beings. Even, we can't understand it, just like a dog can't understand a symphony! But think about it in reverse, no matter whether the framework of novels and movies is correct, but at least, we have no way to prove that the path of science must be correct, whether technology will have an end, or even whether a human being as a child can Make good use of this powerful pistol of science. If it is not used properly, we are also suffering some of the bitter consequences of technology abuse. I believe the audience knows what kind of disaster it will be! There is no way for us to end the language technology, because we are still children, and human beings have developed explosively in technology since the industrial age, but in the final analysis, we are just like blind people, groping forward in the dark. Therefore, I do not agree with the assertion that the superhero just abuses his power to deliberately cause the destruction of mankind, because we cannot even determine the true nature of matter, and the most popular superstring theory in modern times is still imperfect. The place. We also don't know whether the mind consciousness can be separated from the physical and material existence, and we can't even figure out what consciousness is.
In short, we don't understand, it doesn't mean it's wrong, we can't accept it, just because we can't give up our inherent thinking, I think this is also the reason why the author sets only children to evolve, adults have perfect cognition, and their thinking is easy to stick to . Children are the most creative.
There are some details of the original book, but I think the movie should have them but they don't. For example, humans test-fired a nuclear bomb on the Supermaster's spaceship, but the nuclear bomb did not explode and disappeared without a trace. I especially like this plot, and part of the original book is also similar to the nuclear crisis. There is a very close relationship, but in the era after the adaptation of the American drama, nuclear non-proliferation has become an international consensus, and mankind has already passed through the biggest nuclear war crisis (the novel was written during the Cold War arms race, the era of nuclear weapons crisis. The author so Writing is a matter of course.)
In another place, the audience mentioned that it was a plot in which the super master was reading, which I think was a turning point in the story.
Of course, as many viewers have said, this drama has a little more love scenes, and it seems a little narrow for such a grand theme. However, in order to commercialize changes in ratings, I will endure it. In general, what the original book expresses is too profound, the ultimate form of life, dystopian thinking, thinking about war, society, religion, and philosophy, there are too many, which are difficult to express in TV dramas. There are quite deep requirements for the foundation. I suggest the audience to take a general look at it, and then go to the original. Really experience the grand and atmospheric exploration of life that the original book wants to express.
