"Avatar": Should human beings progress in the end...

James Cameron returns to the film industry with his new work "Avatar", with a kind of domineering attack, king of the world, and the return of the king, full of desire and creativity Movie mythology's "Titanic" ambitions to compete. From the perspective of the trend, breaking the box office record of the latter film is not a dream, at least in terms of ticket prices, it has already set a new high for mainland ticket prices. The China Film Cinema I watched was 100 yuan, which was the highest price I've seen in this theater in the past 7 years.

"Avatar" became a big hit once it appeared, and was highly praised by professionals and the general audience, and a series of arguments such as "leading the trend", "kowtow" and "the best in history" appeared. In my opinion, this film can indeed serve as a classic, but it is not perfect and awesome. The first-class Hollywood special effects give the senses a full enjoyment, and the beautiful pictures are also a beautiful experience. The love story is not only smooth and real, but also a little moving. The story is inclusive and harmonious, energy conservation, environmental awareness, and identity decision. Themes such as these naturally increase the tension of the plot, and the tight rhythm and tense atmosphere are enough to keep people interested in watching the movie from beginning to end. With these elements in place, there was a rare spontaneous applause in the movie theater when Jack opened his eyes and became a real Na'vi.

Although the overall effect of "Avatar" is quite good, the parts can be better and more refined. In the film, many themes are shallow, many elements seem similar to the past, and many scenes lack a sense of majesty. Human destruction of nature, love with aliens and choice of identity are just like the content of "Tarzan of the Apes". The two battle scenes are much more exciting than the "Broken Copper PK Broken Iron" in the "Transformers" series, but they are far less than "The Two Towers" in "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Return of the King". . The disaster effects and reflections caused by human beings breaking the ecological balance are not as shocking as "2012", and they did not leave me with a sense of horror that the earth is about to be destroyed.

To say that "Avatar" gave me the biggest imprint, it is the direct face and mapping of reality. By solving the problem of alien demolition of "nail households", the film reflects various realities of today's society, such as the arrogance, domineering and domineering of human beings after relying on advanced technology to develop and progress, as well as human beings' spiritual conscience after a bumper harvest and loss of purity.

Human nature always has two sides, good and evil, and in real life, there are two kinds of forces. Around us, there are people who are upright and just, frank and enthusiastic, honest and loyal, and there are people who are ignorant of money, do evil, bully the poor and the weak, just like two different human beings in the film. One is the businessmen Parker and Colonel Miles who forcibly developed the planet and made huge profits. They are powerful groups and real human forces. They have the most advanced technology and weapons, but they use guns and guns to obtain the benefits they want. We must resolutely destroy a pure and kind world; the other is Jack and Grace, who are good-natured and dedicated to research, who are forced to become human traitors, and some are even killed by their own kind (such as female pilot Chudi). Grace represents the essence and spirit of science, but she is helpless in the face of huge profits, atrocities, and thugs! Fortunately, Jack led the Na'vi with primitive bows and arrows, and with the help of the Virgin Mary, was fortunate enough to win the final victory. The film adheres to and publicizes the good and positive side of human nature in an "anti-human" way. In the end, the once-mighty humans became the captives of the Na'vi and walked obediently in groups under the watch of the Na'vi. At this time, Jack's monologue told the audience: In the end, humans were sent back to Earth, and only a few kind and pure humans remained on the planet "Pandora".

The day after watching the movie, I told my colleagues about Avatar in the office, and when I mentioned Jack's words, my colleagues laughed for a while, and then picked up the "Phoenix Weekly" beside me and read a paragraph: " In XXX personnel appointments, there are also unhealthy trends such as discussing seniority, 'mountainism', and running for officials, so that excellent talents are squeezed out, and mediocre talents climb up by virtue of treats and gifts." Colleagues read this sentence as an analogy. , probably because the "excellent talents" stayed in the aliens, and the "mediocre talents" returned to the earth. In reality, because there are no "excellent talents", "mediocre talents" are completely in power, and the beauty that originally belonged to kindness and purity no longer exists. As a result, the earth has changed, the world has changed, and our environment has become more dirty, insidious and chaotic.

I have never liked to watch serial dramas, so I followed the trend and "read" the story outline of "Dwelling". I felt that the power of this drama came from the reality of reality. Fang Nu has become another name for the youth in the metropolis, and Guo Haizao portrayed a mistress in three dimensions. image. In the past, mistresses were people who scorned and ridiculed for the common people, but nowadays, most of the older audiences will also accept Guo, and most of the young and beautiful girls may yearn for Guo's mistress career. Inner loneliness and sadness, what is it in front of entering and leaving luxury places, feasting on delicious food, wearing famous brand clothes, and living in high-end apartments? What's more, there is such a wonderful home to settle in abroad! How desirable is such a mistress! In the past, once talking about "The White-Haired Girl", everyone would grit their teeth and hate the rich man Huang Shiren, but now, when facing the topic of "how good should Xier marry Huang Shiren", it is completely different. Jia Xinsheng envy. If Xi'er marries Huang Shiren, not only will her father not be forced to die, but she will have no worries of food and clothing for the rest of her life. Why not do such a beauty?

Oftentimes, our friends who have similar personalities and interests gather together for drinks and chats. When everyone talks about others' evaluation of their "reality", "simple" and "kindness", they are all joking and scolding, always saying: "These days, to be honest, you are a fool. How can an honest person not suffer? He said that I am honest, and I think his whole family is honest...". At this point
, we would all laugh and clink glasses and drink in the name of "for no longer real". There is also an older friend who has been in several relationships, but for various reasons, he has not been able to bring his girlfriend back to his hometown to meet his parents, so everyone will laugh at this leftover man by drinking wine: "The boss is not too young, or a virgin? "He would always answer with a smile: "Your whole family is a virgin." At this time, we will also clink glasses and drink with a smile, in the name of "to stop being a virgin". I think, for those older house girls and leftover girls, please don't call her a virgin, otherwise she may also call your whole family a virgin :)

At this point, I thought of a classic text message, which is about this The world has completely changed: "The poor eat meat and the rich eat shrimp, and the leading cadres eat the bastard; men want to be tall, women want to be thin, dogs wear clothes and people show their flesh; in the past, the first child was left to the husband, but now the first child is left to the husband. ; in the countryside, chickens are called people in the morning, and people in the city are called chickens at night; the actors of the old society are performing arts but not their bodies, and the performers of the new society are not showing off their arts...".

These topics seem to go too far, but we all know that with the development of society, the progress of mankind, and the liberation of ideas, we have gained a lot of things, but we have also lost a lot of beautiful and precious things. If in the 22nd century, you and I go to other planets, and the story of Avatar really happens, then what choices will we have? Should he choose violent conquest, like Colonel Miles, or preserve beauty, like Grace? To stay, like Jack, or to return, like Merchant Parker?

Should human beings progress? This is not a problem at first, but sometimes it is a very confusing problem...

    Just two words after reading: shock! Enjoyable! I was only 14 years old when he was released for the first time, and I have no feeling for science fiction movies. This time I chose IMAX3D. The special effects scene shocked my mother. Is this a movie 11 years ago? ? ! Whether it's the plot or the picture, it's still very beautiful now, not to mention how surprised the people who wore 3D glasses for the first time 11 years ago were. The scene of the final battle is too burning, the plot is compact, definitely ten times better than any movie in the Spring Festival this year.

    Cameron used top-notch CG and 3D technology to create a masterpiece that looks like a god.
