"The Wandering Earth" is a great Chinese sci-fi movie

It has been five full days since I walked out of the cinema after watching "The Wandering Earth", but my mood is still not calm for a long time. When I think of the heartwarming and heart-wrenching scenes in the movie, I can't hold back my tears.

As soon as the movie opens, there are four plot points that resonate strongly with me.

First, under such cruel living conditions, all human beings on earth can only enter the dungeon by drawing lots, while astronaut Liu Peiqiang's father-in-law and his son can move in directly without drawing lots. I very much agree with this approach. For these heroes who have made great contributions to the progress of the country and mankind, they should enjoy preferential treatment and privileges, and they are superior in all aspects. At the same time, it can also inspire more people to strive to become astronauts, continue to shine, and illuminate the way forward for mankind. I can't help but imagine that even if he doesn't enjoy the privileges, if I can be drawn, I will take the initiative to give the place to their hero's family!

Second, I did not expect that in 2075, more than half a century has passed, under such harsh conditions, the Chinese people at that time still maintained the cultural tradition of the descendants of Yan and Huang for thousands of years, and they were still playing the national quintessence of mahjong, dance New Year's Eve lion. As a Chinese, I am very proud of this, because we are the most unforgettable nation in the world, and the things left by our ancestors have been passed down and carried forward by us, and brought into the underground city! The school uniforms worn by middle school students in the movie, and the video games played by Uncle Lei Jiayin, I almost never see them in my life. I heard from my dad that those were childhood memories of their generation. With hard work, in order to attract and move mainstream audiences like my dad, these props were specially moved into the movie a hundred years later. Even though the technology at that time was very developed, they used more than our generation. The backward retro stationery box, this hard and simple style is worth learning! Moreover, they are still in classes in their 30th year. I am really looking forward to a future where they love learning so much!

Third, as we all know, in order to ensure everyone's safety, the safety supervision system in our society is very strict. By 2075, the technology will be more developed, and it will definitely be more rigorous than it is now. Even so, the male and female protagonists are still able to pass through the security guards through the underground black market and pretend to be staff members, which fully reflects the superiority and flexibility of our system! As the saying goes, rules are dead and people are alive. No matter how tight the system is, there are backdoors for those who will take advantage of the loopholes, because doing so will benefit everyone. Just imagine, if Liu Qi hadn't slipped out successfully, how could his father Liu Peiqiang be eager to save his son and participate in the final plan and become a key factor? Without Liu Qi's participation in the rescue, how could the earth and the human beings on the earth survive successfully? Thinking of this, I am secretly proud of the traditional wisdom of the Chinese people. Behind the seemingly unreasonable system is actually full of great people-oriented ideas!

Fourth, as we all know, Beijing has been our political and cultural center for hundreds of years. The city is rich in history, culture and places of interest, with various important political buildings in different periods. However, the main creators fully considered the deep feelings of the audience for Beijing. They did not choose to display important places such as the Forbidden City, square, and the Great Hall that had been abandoned for a long time in the heavy snow, nor did they even choose to display the National Expo, National Map, Grand Theater or high school. Instead, the school chose the most uncultured CBD as a panoramic bird's-eye view. It doesn't seem to be different from the CBD in the haze or heavy snow. The big pants are still the same big pants, standing proudly. I applaud the creators for their hard work not to block the audience's mood to enter the cinema during the Spring Festival! Thanks to them for continuing to preserve the good impression of Beijing in our hearts, instead of destroying Washington, London, Paris or Tokyo beyond recognition, like some Western countries' sci-fi blockbusters, what a formality!

With the development of the plot, my mood also fluctuated. Several times I didn't cry because of the emotion of the plot. I didn't even know why I was crying. I only knew that the grand and soulful soundtrack directly forced my tears. I didn't realize I was crying until it dripped on my pants. I think this is a very high-level artistic expression, and for no reason I would cry with the music, which is more atmospheric than being moved by the plot.

When Liu Peiqiang suddenly changed from saving his father-in-law and his son's children's love affairs to saving all mankind, I burst into tears again. It is worthy of being a heroic son and daughter cultivated by the Chinese nation. When the crisis first appeared, he showed the side of an ordinary person, thinking about how to use his resources to protect his family remotely. When the crisis developed out of control, he would be able to He suddenly changed from an ordinary person to a hero with a profound sense of righteousness. He chose the latter in the difficult choice of family and country feelings. The screenwriter's portrayal of the two-sidedness of the character is really hard to see through the back of the paper. I can see that every single hair of Uncle Wu Jing's hair is gone. Showing acting skills. This hair-splitting acting is reflected in every main character.

When the rescue teams from all over the world turned around and drove to the engine, I really burst into tears with the soundtrack. As a sci-fi fan, it was the first time I saw in a sci-fi movie that the Chinese led the warriors of all countries to participate in the rescue of the earth and all mankind. Isn't this a realistic portrayal of our greatly improved international status? Now we finally have the right to speak, we can finally challenge Hollywood, we can even say no loudly! How can I support and praise such a domestic sci-fi blockbuster without saying a word! I just don't understand, why are there so many people criticizing and complaining about it, are you still human? Is it still Chinese? I really want to tell the world that this movie is awesome!

And we can have today's status, is the blood of countless ancestors. As I walked out of the cinema, I felt the red scarf on my chest even more red.
