I'm so lucky to be able to watch such a movie before I lost my eyesight!
During the viewing process, I have been trying to keep up with the director's thoughts, what he wants us to see, but I found that his thinking processing is 10 to the 14th power, which is too fast, and I can't keep up.
What I see boils down to the following three points. If you understand this "three points" as the three-point style that the Neville girl in the movie wears, it will be fine. Anyway, it is also ordinary and has no connotation.
One, the Na'vi are too earthy.
1. The Na'vi are the dirtiest aliens I've ever seen in the movies. I've always seen advanced aliens from developed planets who have worked tirelessly to traverse N millions of light years to train people on Earth (even "The Ninth District"). of aliens have fallen to the point of needing human containment, and their technology and weapons are still far ahead), this movie is just the opposite! Technology is the primary productive force. The production tools and daily utensils of the Na'vi people are too low in technology. No matter how you look at it, they are all uncivilized indigenous people. The strongest weapon is actually bow and arrow! Haha, this time it's finally the earth's turn to drive the spaceship to the aliens to show off their power. It really makes people feel a little complacent.
2. I am relatively superficial. I look at people and things first by looking at their appearance. At the beginning, I really had no love for the appearance of the male and female protagonists with blue skin and retro tails. Although the Na'vi people are tall, their body looks like anorexic depth. As thin as a patient, all the Neville girls are Taiping princesses - this is not earthy. Rareness is precious. Today, when fat people are rampant, it is popular to take thinness as beauty. The Na'vi people are actually very fashionable. Their braids are USB ports, zebra prints and small sequins on their skin are popular elements of the season's clothing. Some experts said that after a few hundred years (if 2012 is not over yet), the appearance of human beings will develop into this thin and tall bean sprout shape. I guess this should be the wishful thinking of the experts, because more and more With developed computer and Internet technology, the possibility of otaku being a gourd is much more reliable than that of a bean sprout. Coupled with the extremely prosperous material life, even if you eat all kinds of animals in the world and all kinds of genetically modified foods Waiting for the tasting, people actively promote the spirit of the cadres who dare to use even aliens to make hot pot, and the human appearance in a few years is estimated to be the human appearance in "Robot Wall-E".
3. The life of the Na'vi people is really dirty. There is no house, no car, no money, no people, and extremely poor material life. They sit on the ground and camp in the open air, live in groups, burials, talk about souls, talk about beliefs, it's too out, we have already They have evolved from only allowing the rich to hold mistresses to even the poor have mistresses. They are still in the unique stage where they are consistent with their partners and even pay attention to the birds they mount. They have a local flavor, accept foreigners, help foreigners, and tolerate foreigners who betray them. They do not implement unspoken rules, but the capable ones are the top, and the leaders can be assigned to foreigners; The calculation ability is still very poor, and they don't understand the immediate interests, they don't understand how to defend against foreigners, they don't understand how to calculate whether the effort is proportional to the return, and they know they can't do it. It only happens to these bastards, no wonder they are beaten when they fall behind; they are grateful for killing an animal to fill their stomachs. We have killed countless animals for the sake of the city’s appearance, not to mention the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. It’s a piece of cake. Before I eat, I want to be grateful, but I don’t know who to thank. “Drinking water and thinking about the source” can only be seen in books and newspapers. In reality, what we pursue is “crossing the river and demolishing the bridge”... In short, their soiled place There are too many, and I don’t even bother to give an example. In contrast, except for the backwardness of holding meetings at every turn, we have not eliminated the backwardness. We have really advanced too much.
Second, the planet Pandora is so beautiful.
1. Cameron's comeback after twelve years is still an unmissable visual feast. This time, it's from imax3D. On the planet Pandora, the suspended mountains and mountains are full of clouds and mists, the ancient vines and old trees are intertwined in the air, and the strange grasses in the forest are shining with colorful fluorescent lights, like the shy flowers in the graceful figure of a beautiful woman. Insects lingered in front of us, and the seeds of the holy tree swayed and floated in the air with a transparent glimmer of light. "There is a long sky of blue and dark above, and there are waves of green water below." The beautiful verses are substantively embodied here. I only hate that my writing skills are too poor to describe the fairy tale fairyland in a dream. And what I can't describe is the free life of the Na'vi people in the jungle of Pandora, the peach blossom written by Tao Yuanming, the utopia described by Thomas More, and the dream we long for from the depths of our hearts. Heaven. Cameron is very bad. He gave us a virtual Pandora, and used the suspended mountain to remind us that all this was like a castle in the air, because in reality, oppression does not necessarily mean resistance, justice does not necessarily prevail over evil, loser It must be the party with the backward technical means. If you don't believe me, look at Cameron himself. He used the technology of capturing virtual composite images, which swept the world and took away two billion box office.
2. It's all because the pictures are so beautiful that when I see the cold and hard machines that symbolize the heyday of the industrial age appear in Pandora's forest, I can't help but feel sorry for the flowers and plants under their iron hooves. It is estimated that I started to defect from this time. There is no way. Whoever calls Pandora so beautiful, anyone is willing to go to great lengths to protect this beauty. From "The Terminator" to "Alien", Cameron has always liked to show such huge and cumbersome machines, this time it was especially cumbersome, and every step of the rumbling machine that was going to destroy the wonderland of this world seemed to have stepped on the heart Softest. There are also those advanced aircrafts and weapons, all kinds of high-tech instruments that are so advanced that they can't even be named, shining with the unique luster of metal, and they are listed in the human base in an orderly manner. The virgin forests are intertwined with each other and appear in front of the eyes, making people unable to help themselves ask themselves, are we really advanced? These high-tech products are what we dream of? Are we really happy in the age of technology?
3. Everyone has a dream of flying, because we don't have a pair of wings. Cameron has a flying complex. In "Titanic", the hero and heroine leaned against the bow of the ship and stood in a flying posture. This scene became a classic scene symbolizing that movie. I was instantly killed by this scene. , I didn't expect that twelve years later, I was seconded again. When the slender and vigorous figures of the male and female protagonists are running and jumping among the green mountains and green mountains, when they both ride on flying dragons and fly freely across the misty clouds, abandoning everything in the world and galloping through the magnificent world, my mood follows the music. Surging with the beat of drums, those unrealistic fantasies about dreams, freedom, and love in my youth, a kind of pride that can do everything in its own way, all of a sudden, all come back, with the flapping of the dragon's wings, as if The soul is breathing.
Three, the soul? I quit for a long time.
1. What is the soul? Is this thing important? So why is everyone now pursuing the material rather than the soul? I am not an idealist, I am materialistic. I pay attention to monthly salary, stocks, real estate, and fashion. There are so many things that need to be distracted. I really don’t have time to take care of the soul. I came here with the mentality of watching a visual feast, with a strong purpose. I never thought that in the era of blockbuster visual bombardment, what other films in the cinema can penetrate deep into the soul. Besides, the soul has been hidden by me for a long time. Even the Buddha said, "Life is like being in the midst of thorns. If the mind doesn't move, people don't move rashly. If they don't move, they won't hurt." I would rather choose to numb myself than to be sober pain of. Is it the power of beauty that penetrates deep into the soul, or does something with a soul better express beauty and resonate? Obviously, I think the Na'vi people are very earthy and the planet Pandora is too illusory. I still accidentally touched my soul. When those things that return to the basics through the picture, I am in a trance. What is the ultimate goal? Occupy as many resources as possible? Is it true that the more money, real estate, high-tech products, and women (or men) you have, the more successful you will be and the more meaningful your life will be?
2. The human beings in the movie have exhausted all the resources of the earth, and they have reached out to other planets. A large multinational corporation that does not know what metaphor thinks that the minerals under the surface of the planet Pandora are the most valuable, no matter how scientists persuade the most valuable. What is valuable is actually the plants on the surface, or is it sending mercenaries to destroy the plants for mining? It is understandable that interests come first, just like in the eyes of developers, new buildings and villas are worth more than dilapidated old houses. , regardless of your thousands of years of history, it is not as attractive as a few thousand yuan per square meter. When the Na'vi people's homeland collapsed under the attack of incendiary bombs and missiles by mercenaries, the hero's inner monologue was like thunder - one day we will wake up. Are we really going to wake up? I am skeptical about this. At that moment, in order not to be too excited by the plot of the movie, so as to keep my numbness in the future, my mind wandered, I was thinking, I used a bull’s knife to kill chickens, I guess there are too many weapons to use Say hello to the tree, look at how advanced human technology is, I believe we will be able to fly in the sky soon, I am not referring to the passenger plane that crashed into the sea and exploded and skidded off the runway, but a kind of passenger plane that can enter thousands of homes It is a high-tech flying product that is convenient for each person and extends the industrial chain, just like a car. But I'm still figuring it out. Even if there is such a "metal flying dragon" in the future, I guess I won't be able to understand the feeling of the hero and heroine doing their own thing, because at that time there would be a popular term called "plug the plane", and even the parking space could not be squeezed. Getting it out is a problem, just like a car.
3. In the movie, the Na'vi said that "energy is borrowed from Mother Earth, and so is food, which will be returned together with the body one day", so they practice gratitude, economy, balance, and burial. Burial is also a tradition in China, but when even the living can only live in a dwelling, the dead should not come to grab the land. Everything we are using, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, we think that we have paid for it as our own. Wherever we think about it, it is actually borrowed from Mother Earth. The existence of human beings is not as long as a little finger of other people's dinosaurs, and they have regarded themselves as the masters of the earth. Other species will be killed and taken away, or used as food, or as tools, or as Making clothes is not polite at all, and even more so with the class. Everyone does their best to occupy the earth's resources, and it seems that they have suffered a big loss when they use less, which has made the earth smoky, and then held a conference under the pretense of protection. How much I have appropriated in the past, how much can I appropriate in the future. Humans have really thick skin, at least thicker than the skin of the unnamed monster in the movie, even though the monster's skin can't even penetrate a bullet. After the angry youth ended, I suddenly found that I seemed to be one of them. I don't want to be labeled as a "traitor" like the hero. Since I can't convince others, I should start with myself.
Open your eyes, the last shot of the movie, the hero opens his eyes. Such a scene has appeared in many movies, and Cameron deliberately placed it at the beginning and end of "Avatar" to echo it. Perhaps, he thinks that we are not just opening our eyes.
After watching the movie and handing back the glasses to the staff, I thought he would say "Welcome back to Earth", but he didn't. When I left the theater, it was still this reinforced concrete world, with metal composites galloping along the gray road. There were N missed calls in the electronic products in my bag. The unbelievably beautiful planet Pandora and The Na'vi people, who have lost their soil, are actually nostalgic.
If only there was a holy tree, at least I could make a wish - let my heart be blinded a little later than my eyes, and a little later.
