I don't like this film very much, the political meaning is too strong, and the director's arrangement is too heavy.
The characters are juvenile, masculine, and the core of tough guys saving the world. It's like a commercial arrogance under the Cold War, but the sex-taunting scene at the end shows that the director is quite self-conscious in form.
Two o'clock. That eight- or nine-minute fight meant escaping ideology was painful. But the little black brother has no self-consciousness that he is already in a falsehood. On the contrary, it is very difficult to understand that he refuses to wear sunglasses just because the characters set "people don't offend me, I don't offend others". Very concept first. The second point is that technologically advanced aliens still use guns. Maybe it was hidden at first, but after the enemy has broken into his hometown, he is still unable to stop the efficient counterattack. It's quite cynic, the whole process of saving the world is like a game. The final ending is also quite pessimistic. The people just think that the people around them are ugly, and they do not have a deeper understanding. It is easy for the aliens to control them again.
Let's talk about type flipping. It's really interesting that the blonde woman's identity is flipped twice to be shot and killed by the protagonist. Once again confirmed that all this is the game of this brat boy tough guy. If you want to hold him hostage, if you want to show your love, you will show your love, if you want to kill, you will kill. It's a dark story if there is no emotional line at all. The organization is dead, and the male protagonist is also dead.
The foreign teacher talked about the ideological influence of the film in class. It allows people to use "sunglasses" to reveal the ideological deception around them. Like Best's consumerism ad, Trump. This made me feel a little more positive about the movie. Indeed, Sunglasses found that the setting of aliens and the transactions between humans and aliens are really ironic and realistic. Putting it into reality, it is those people who make false profits. The male protagonist keeps slaughtering these people among the civilians in the game.
