The world after the alien invasion has the feeling of "Half Life 2", destruction, ruins, and despair, even the three-legged machine can find its shadow in "Half Life 2".
In the beginning, the aliens were extremely powerful, nearly perfect, and almost invulnerable, while the humans were so fragile to fight back; but in the end, the aliens were defeated like a mountain, and they were taken care of by the humans in a few seconds. Is the intruder really doomed to fail? "Strong Battle World" is just like that.
However, in this movie, the invasion of aliens is just a background, ruins and despair are just a background, and the real theme is paternal love. Spider-Man used to be confused whether he should be a hero or an ordinary person; Refera is not confused, he does not want to be a hero at all, he does not resist, only wants to protect his children. That funny guy who is "dead and alive" wants to cooperate with Refera to kill those huge machines, but Refera knows that funny can't kill alien invaders. They have no ability to compete with the invaders, but only Involve the daughter.
Refera had never dared to face those alien monsters, but ran away or hid, until his daughter was caught by those monsters, only to dilute her fear because of her eagerness to save her. He stood up and took the grenade to deal with the three-legged machine-in fact, he knew that the grenade was useless at all. Whether he is running away or facing him, he is only for his daughter and his son.
The father's love in this movie protects not only the daughter's life, but also her mind. For this reason, Refera never allowed her daughter to face the bloody and terrifying world directly, and prevented her from witnessing the ugliness of the facts, so as to despair with people. Even if Refera was in an extremely dangerous situation, she did not forget to ask her daughter to close her eyes, cover her ears, or blindfold her eyes and tell her to sing nursery rhymes. It can be described as a meticulous protection. I don’t even know about peanut butter allergies. In that horrible world full of despair, even adults couldn't survive, fighting for a car that could be used to escape. Where are the Americans in the 9/11 story, those Americans who helped each other in disasters. That scene is reminiscent of the typhoon that happened in New Orleans last year.
Tell me about the origins of aliens. It is said in the movie that those three-legged machines have long been buried under the ground. The aliens have waited for millions of years, and finally came to earth by lightning, driving those machines out of the ground, but why wait until the next day. The movie didn't talk about it. I once read a book. It said that aliens came to the earth a long time ago and found that they could not adapt to the environment, so after mating with apes, they left the earth, and then there were humans. At the end of the movie, the aliens were also unable to adapt to the environment of the earth and finally "killed themselves"-because they did not explain their origins, they died a little unclear. Since the aliens have already waited for this opportunity For a long time, why did it prove to be wrong in the end.
Let me talk about the guy who "dead and live" in particular. This guy is a normal person on the surface, and he has a sense of justice. He wants to defeat alien monsters and save the earth. But he is a lunatic at all. What weapon does he use to deal with alien monsters? It's an axe and a shotgun. Originally brave, he later saw an alien monster sucking blood, but he was so frightened that he began to dig a hole, saying that he would dig to Boston. The reason why he is like this, I guess, is because he has no family and no burdens, and only his own life is left. But Refera was different, so he couldn't afford it. In addition, this grotesque person is a bit like the priest in "Half Life 2."
