Compared with the later "Star Wars", this film and television series that began in the 1960s has very limited special effects, and the scenery is sometimes so simple that it makes people laugh, but it does not lose its charm at all - the galaxy is long, and the Enterprise passes through. In the vast and deep space, sailing toward every place that human beings have not reached.
Spock, played by Nimoy in Star Trek, is the first mate and science officer of the Enterprise, a half-Vulcan, half-human hybrid. He has the coolness and logic of a Vulcan, but also a human sensibility, and he often struggles between the two, leading to many different ethical speculations and moral discussions.
Much of what makes Spock's image so vivid is due to Nimoy's precise interpretation. His indifferent expression, raised eyebrows, long lines of terminology, and self-created Vulcan gestures have become irreplaceable classics in the eyes of the audience. It can be said that Nimoy is Spock, and Spock is Nimoy.
Nimoy's performance even extended Spock's life. In "Khan's Wrath", Spock shut down Khan's Genesis device for the safety of the entire crew of the Enterprise, and died due to excessive radiation. However, because the audience's opposition to this ending was too strong, the screenwriter had to bring him back to life in the next film, and since then he has been resident on the Enterprise and has become an indispensable soul character with Captain Kirk.
It can be a mixed blessing for a person to have great success playing a role for a long time. In fact, Nimoy also tried to downplay Spock's influence on him. He once wrote his autobiography "I'm not Spock" to show his "true self"; but he eventually found that Spock's influence on him was all-round, so after a few years, he wrote another The book "I Am Spock". When he opened up his personal social media, he added "LLAP" to each of his speeches, which is the blessing of the "Star Trek" Vulcans, which means "prosperity and prosperity."
I like Renner De Nimoy has only one reason - I see him as Spock.
In Spock, it embodies the supreme state that human beings can reach under the guidance of reason. His logic is impeccable, and the Vulcan's de-emotional training makes him the most trustworthy at all times—he's honest and evaluates himself correctly. And in the rationality of the Vulcans, he occasionally flashes the complex personality formed by human sensibility, making him one of the most classic images in science fiction works. If Kirk's charm comes from the energy that human flesh can burst out - smart mind, strong enthusiasm, sensitive reaction speed, and sometimes even a little cunning; and Spock's charm fully reflects human supernatural power. My appeal: perfect logic, sound judgment, self-restraint, and a moral life.
Spock has a deep friendship with the crew of the Enterprise, which is especially deep because of his Vulcan traits. Although he is often confused about human feelings, he still tries to get close to his "weird human friends" and understand their "feelings". During the long years of living and dying together, the crew of the Enterprise has become an inseparable whole. When Spock decided to go to death in order to save everyone, he said that "the well-being of the many is greater than the well-being of one", it is difficult to determine whether this is due to logic or love for the Enterprise. This is the charm of the spirit of Dionysus and the spirit of the sun in Greek mythology, that is, the light when reason and sensibility complement each other. In order to sail to "the universe, the last frontier of human beings", they are loyal, trusting, and not afraid of sacrifice.
The things that impress me the most are always the details. Kirk, Spock and McCoy sit around a campfire in the fifth film, The Ultimate Vanguard, in 1989, the older brothers singing softly and Spock accompanies them. The song goes like this:
Row, Row, Row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily,
Life is but a dream.
They're old, and they make weird jokes that only their own people can understand, like some stubborn and bad temper the old man. Spock frowned and didn't speak much. Maybe he didn't feel the emotions of Kirk and McCoy, but that didn't stop him from playing the instrument a little clumsily and enjoying the few quiet moments they had. They have no relatives, no children, no home. The Enterprise and the time they spend with each other is all they have.
The wind was blowing, and the fireworks burst out, reflecting the faces engraved with the rings of the years.
In 2013, at the end of the new version of "Star Trek 2", the old Spock played by Nimoy in his old age, facing the young Spock played by Zachary Quinto, solemnly told him: "I was, and I am. Always be your friend."
In this way, after the dawn of the new century, under the watchful eyes of all the audience off the screen, they completed a generational change.
Leonard Nimoy died at home on February 27, 2015, at the age of 84. In his last tweet, he wrote: "Life is like a garden. There may be perfect moments, but they don't last long, except in memory." LLAP. I copied it down and posted it on the official account as the first push.
Spock means spiritual mentor and ideal to me. Because of the influence of that stage, I began to try to write more seriously, to describe the world I liked, to describe the world I imagined, and to share my thoughts. This is my way of honoring and following him. Maybe these words will be very small, and will be silent in the Internet for a long time, like a speck of dust in the universe; but they will also meet a number of readers, and they will survive in the minds of others because of a momentary resonance. and given a new meaning.
Live long and prosper.
Life is a burning expedition. Nimoy has gone his way, and ours continues. Thanks to Leonard Nimoy and his Spock. Through their stories, I saw the infinite possibilities in my short life, and I will miss him forever.
