A revolutionary horn in a sci-fi coat-"Captive State"
Today we will introduce an American science fiction thriller film "Captive State".
The title of the film is Captive State (2019), also known as the Counterattack of Heaven: Earth Uprising (Hong Kong) / Alien Occupation (Taiwan).
The film tells the story of aliens after a powerful invasion of the earth. In 2019, a group of aliens suddenly appeared and began a major attack on the earth. Mankind rose up to resist, paid huge casualties, and was eventually defeated by aliens, and mankind finally surrendered to the rule of aliens.
But there are always people who are unwilling to be slaves, and the human resistance movement never stops. A few years later, even though human beings have been tortured and suppressed by aliens many times, they still maintain a strong fighting spirit.
The film tells the story of a group of humans resisting the colonization of aliens.
"Captive Kingdom" has its own complete set of world views. If you want to understand the content of the movie, you must first understand the world the movie is in.
This group of aliens are called Legislators. They look ugly and weird. They look like walking sea urchins, which are very different from human aesthetics.
The legislators came to the earth for a very clear purpose, that is, to take in the various resources of the earth. After occupying the earth, the legislators did not waste time and energy to eliminate mankind, but adopted very clever political methods to rule mankind.
The legislators forced humans to build huge underground palaces for themselves, to enjoy life and exploit resources, and then win over the human elite group, give the elite a variety of favorable treatments, let the elite group stay on the surface to manage humanity.
In addition to creating class contradictions, legislators have also established various isolation zones on the surface, forcibly creating geographical divisions, and dividing human society.
So far, the legislator has completed the rule of human society.
The behavior of legislators is entirely a sci-fi version of playing power tricks. This kind of dose of lowering the contradictions of the rule and mobilizing the masses to fight the masses can be found in various examples in ancient and modern China and abroad. The most typical is the British who pursue a balanced policy on the mainland. Those who understand history will know how many landmines these colonists planted when they were forced to leave.
The legislators knew this well, and since it was not in their interest to eliminate humans, they began to use power techniques to enslave humans. It can not only preserve one's own strength, but also allow elite humans to use them for their own use, and also make humans produce huge internal friction. Isn't it beautiful to have multiple actions in one fell swoop.
"Captive Kingdom" is actually a revolutionary song dressed in science fiction.
At any time, human beings will not wait to die, and will not be willing to be treated as slaves by others. For the liberation of the entire human race, there will always be many benevolent and righteous people who are willing to throw their heads and blood, and actively devote themselves to the cause of revolution.
Just like the slogan that has appeared many times in the movie: Light a match, lgnite a war. Long as we fight back, we got a chance. )
A single spark can start a prairie fire. In order to liberate the great cause, the rebels are willing to give everything they can, and they use everything they can to rebel against the legislators.
The whole movie is about the human rebels launching a desperate attack on the legislators in the end times.
Legislators have placed many eye lines in human society, and spy gangs are scattered all over the place, just to fight against the human rebels. In this context, the whole film presents a spy war film temperament.
From the beginning to the end of the film is a tricky trick, until the head of the secret police William Mulligan confided in his heart, the whole story was told in its entirety.
The advantage of "Captive Kingdom" is its worldview. Science fiction movies bring out thinking about the real society, which always makes people feel very deep.
But the shortcomings of this film are also obvious. In order to construct this worldview, "Captive Kingdom" takes a lot of space to lead the audience to understand the world through the perspective of the male protagonist Gabriel Drummond.
As a result, the time for storytelling in the Eight Classics of Zhenger was greatly compressed. It is easy for the audience to lose their minds. If they are impatient and watch the super long bedding in front, the value of the film will be greatly reduced.
The world view is good, but the movie is too boring.
As a sci-fi movie, due to the cost, the film can only appear in a small number of aliens and their palaces, and most of the rest of the time is tossing back and forth in a tight space.
If it is a spy war movie, this film lacks the excitement that a spy war movie or war movie should have, and it seems procrastinated in many places. Spending a lot of energy on describing the information transmission link in pediatrics, lacking the feeling that everyone is a spy and everyone cannot be trusted, is really putting the cart before the horse.
By the way, sea urchins are not tasty. If it is delicious, invasive alien organisms have long been eaten into species that need to be farmed to survive.
A revolutionary horn with too long foreshadowing and a sci-fi coat,
Give up life for justice, slowly light the sparks of a prairie prairie fire.
