refreshing

I haven't seen such a refreshing movie for a long time. The story is actually not complicated, but from the creative application to the production, it is a lot of effort. In addition, the plot and suspense are almost fully promoted, and it has to be enjoyable!
In the film, Wikus, an ordinary bureaucrat who was full of contempt and contempt for aliens in his original words and faithfully implemented government orders, his role changes caused by mutation made him truly understand aliens and truly develop the brilliance of human nature. But this process is not so much a sublimation of self-knowledge, but rather a sinful social machine and an ugly modern civilization that forced him to recognize discrimination, injustice, darkness and other human phenomena in the process of decisive transformation. Fortunately, his individual struggles were largely successful, based on extremely small probabilities. When the gigantic UFO rose up, I was instantly delighted that the poor alien could finally get rid of the claws of the earthlings.
Understanding is difficult, and communication is even more difficult. When we know aliens based on the logic of seeing and believing, it is obvious that the market shots of aliens living on Earth can easily fool us into thinking that they are filthy and low-minded, but when we see those weapons and The power of the ships and the beliefs they hold make them realize the high wisdom and nobility they possess. The sincerity and trust between Wikus and the aliens were completely established almost at the moment of the final crisis.
By the way, that little alien is really smart and cute, and human children are much inferior to him.

    There is absolutely nothing to say about technology! High score! The first pseudo-documentary was very interesting. It satirized the American hegemony and criticized the phenomenon of racial discrimination and cultural discrimination in a fake and serious way. It was very political. It’s just that I didn’t stick to it later, and the emergence of God’s perspective and the mainstream Hollywood feature film model made the film step by step into a cliché. The ending is not a surprise, the protagonist’s personality changes seem abrupt, too many details are not explained, and the alien lacks imagination.

    1. The temptation of aliens and earth people to go home together. Pseudo-documentaries, science fiction subjects, it feels great, but why should it be made into a series? The sequel feels too obvious and it's a drop in price. 2. The aliens have always wanted to fly away, but why did the spacecraft break down? 3. Why do aliens always look so ugly? Want to see the perfect alien! 4. Two smart aliens want to go home, and the other millions are all unconscious.
