Cool coat, humble core

The subject of fraternity, easier said than done, is full of indignant Virgins watching the misery of aliens. With a population of 2 million, the technology is ahead of the earth, the physical fitness is stronger than that of human beings, and the intelligence is not lower than that of human beings. Besides, they are all at the bottom of the society. Not to mention the future, what do you think of the soldier who was killed by the prawn in the film? Let's talk about fraternity with the enemy when you are slaughtered one day. The only feasible way is to plunder alien technology as much as possible to achieve technological progress, but in the film, for 20 years, it is still at the stage of autopsy.

The narration and editing of the film are quite good, interspersed with some DV style, documentary clips and news videos, which makes the film have a realistic style and a sense of substitution, which may be one of the reasons why the heart of the Virgin is bursting.

I feel that the distinction is not true. Putting on a sci-fi coat to talk about fraternity, it is better to talk about European refugees and criticize Bai Zuo. Science fiction, as a gimmick, is worthless and quite superficial: in 20 years, two million refugees have not even formed a collective organization. In ten years, is there any short-sale measure? Does scientific research not engage in dismantling? Is there no security up there? Since I chose the coat of science fiction, why not be more precise and rigorous, it is really better to talk about real refugees. But perhaps, the film is really insinuating real refugees under the guise of aliens, satirizing today's government's ineffective relief and ignoring human rights? ?

I remembered what my uncle taught me before: I haven't figured out what alien secrets are going on on Earth! But that still doesn't stop sci-fi as my favorite, but this movie really doesn't deserve that score. To sum up, a cool sci-fi shell, coupled with a superficial philanthropic core that earns sympathy, combined with the simple story of the earthlings rescuing the tragic aliens and discovering the bad behavior of the earthlings, this film was born.

Maybe it was really good ten years ago
