When I watched this film when I was young, I thought it was a silly film. At that time, I was looking forward to an "Independence Day"; now as an elderly, after having some life experience, I suddenly found that the spirit of this film is very rare. Precious, I feel more like it when I get older.

In fact, "Independence Day" was also adapted from Wells' original work, but it took a different route, with more American heroism, brave and united stupidity; the same theme, the adaptation of this film is closer to the original art and literature. temperament. Although in the end it proved the right of human beings to live, "Independence Day" emphasizes that you have to fight hard, while "War of the World" tells us a deeper truth in European style: God works in mysterious ways

remember There is a text in English for graduate students. When talking about the destruction of the earth by mankind, he mentioned a different opinion: the existence of mankind has caused many disasters to the earth, but it is also because of the existence of mankind that the earth can avoid other disasters. For example, if we face an asteroid impact and the Earth’s ecosystem cannot protect itself, the dinosaurs will probably lose out on this matter; but today we can use rockets and nuclear weapons to solve such problems.

In the longer term, human beings in the future may have hurdles that cannot pass like dinosaurs, but there will always be smart lives that are better than ours. Just like dinosaurs, what we do for them is the work of paving stones. Regardless of whether they are grateful or not, after all, they have hopes that we can pass on the evidence of our existence.

Just as the end of the film said:

because of the humanity and the right to live in the biosphere of this planet in exchange for countless human deaths, and this right helps us to fight against all challenges, whether we live or die, it makes sense...
