In fact, Liu Xing would never have imagined such an outcome at first, and the audience in the first half of the movie certainly would not have thought of it, just like the neighbors and friends of Lu Gang, a Chinese student, and Zhao Seung-hee, a Korean student last year. did not think of.
At the beginning, Liu Xing met an amiable and highly respected professor, Joanna who cared about students and loved Chinese culture, a group of Chinese students who helped and took care of each other, and a beautiful girl he liked... All this made Liu Xing It feels like the whole world is spring, and every corner is full of hope. So he worked diligently and diligently in his research field, hoping to realize his scientific dream as soon as possible; he and the professor learned to smoke cigars, drink spirits, and have fun in some places in the United States, in order to integrate into the foreign society and culture as soon as possible. in; he talks to the girl he loves, and dreams of reaping love. So he thought that all the fruits and successes were already coming to him, and he kept writing to his family, saying: "I have been very lucky recently, and now I am fortunate enough to work for Professor Reese himself, under his guidance. , I will definitely make a major discovery... to bring glory to our family..." "I will be able to bring you to the United States soon, you will be the parents of Professor Liu Xing..." Said to friends: "I want to marry a Blonde American..."
However, the arrival of setbacks caught him by surprise. He couldn't give up his scientific dream, but was blocked by the professor. He fell in love with an American girl, but was rejected. Of course, this is not over, his scholarship is gone, he He found that the society, culture, customs and many other contents of this country were actually unfamiliar to him. What to do then? Xiangjia had already said his "big words", but he was unwilling to turn back on the way to pursue his dream. As a result, he chose the last thing that everyone wanted to see: the burning of jade and stone. The film's expression is very unique. The Beijing Angels Choir's adaptation of Schubert's "Serenade" is used as the background music, and then in this dream-like, poetic and beautiful singing, a burst of gunshots exploded, making people stunned and sighed. .
In fact, the movie clearly reminds that the Chinese and American educational systems have some lack of care for the social and psychological needs of students, and that people who grow up under different cultural backgrounds are very different in terms of mind and way of thinking. It needs to be handled properly in the process. Many Chinese students are actually like what Liu Xing's parents said, "you can't do anything except study", so independent ability and psychological maturity are very important...
And when I finished watching the movie, But suddenly a word came to mind: "inner space".
It is said that after the Americans landed on the moon in Apollo, President Nixon said: "We are now conquering outer space, and I would like to draw everyone's attention to conquering our inner space." Of course, this "inner space" refers to our hearts and minds. , All kinds of matter, planets, and nebulae in outer space are complicated and unpredictable, but in inner space, is it not that all kinds of wisdom, emotions, desires, and sins are constantly flowing? It just so happens that the movie "Dark Matter" also gives an angle to see the turbulent flow of two "spaces": In fact, from an intuitive point of view, this is a story based on the campus shooting case of Chinese student Lu Gang in 1991. Of course, it is in it. You can also see some figures of Cho Seung-hee, a South Korean student who was the main culprit in last year's vicious campus shooting at Virginia Tech, but the movie pretends to use the protagonist Liu Xing's statement about dark matter in the field of cosmology as the name, which makes it easy for people to think of "" The two concepts of "outer space" universe and "inner space" people's mind are slightly clichéd but never out of date. Of course, there are some realistic general warnings and educational significance, which are the inevitable ambitions of creators.
In Liu Xing's inner space, dreams, family affection, love, self-reliance and other contents are entangled, so should there be a rule and law? The film itself seems to be only discussing the issue of psychological maturity, but can maturity itself solve those rushing flows in inner space? Or need something else?
