Director Doug Liman has been trying to make the audience excited, let Tom continue to die, and make more clues. This aspect is undoubtedly a continuation of the original novel. In fact, it is not so much a continuation as a rewrite. List some of the differences, so that children who have not read the novel can understand.
1. The novel is called "All You Need Is Kill", and the film was also called "All You Need Is Kill" at the beginning of the period, but it was renamed "Edge Of Tomorrow" due to the pressure of the film length, and the Chinese also changed from "Killing Samsara" to "Edge of Tomorrow". ". (Thanks to Auto Master for the reminder)
2. The hero of the novel is a Japanese high school student named Kiritani Keiji. He chose to become a soldier because he failed in pursuing a girl, and wanted to change himself who had accomplished nothing.
3. In the novel and the movie, the heroines are all called Rita Vlotarski, and they are all war madmen. In the novel, Rita has inherited her father's fighting skills, but the last thing she wanted to do when she was a teenager was to be a soldier. The mimetic killing and the destruction of the village make Rita inspired to be a soldier.
4. Rita's father likes coffee, pure coffee, but because of mimetic attacks, there are very few places on earth that can produce coffee. After Rita became a Valkyrie, she obtained some coffee beans through her power, very precious coffee beans, and brewed them for the male protagonist. In the movie, Tom's coffee should be the director's tribute to the original work. Adding sugar may mean that he Added a lot of laughs to the movie.
5. Rita, nicknamed "Bitch" or "Valkyrie" in the novel, is 19 years old.
6. The octopus-like aliens are called "mimicry" in the novel. The movie does not explain why they came to the earth. The novel explains that they are creatures on a highly intelligent planet, because the planet is uninhabitable. Looking for a planet suitable for survival, after discovering the earth, we sent engineering creatures to change the ecological environment. At first, 4 biological spaceships fell, 1 fell into the sea, and the other 3 were controlled by humans (one of which was also controlled by the Celestial Dynasty) and fell into the sea. It is the first to come into contact with the creatures in the sea, so like octopus, it does not have the offensive power after landing. It has a soft body, and it will swallow the land and land, discharge the sand, and make the environment worse. Humans start hunting, but because of Mimicry is like a cockroach's reproduction speed and advanced evolutionary functions, making it an inexhaustible enemy with steel armor.
7. In the novel, the reason why the hero has the ability to cycle through time is because he kills a high-level mimetic, which will send out brain waves when he dies and transmit information to his original self, while the hero is killing the high-level mimetic. This skill is also available when mimicking, but the number of mimicry groups is huge, and there are not many things that can be remembered each time "tomorrow", and human beings are infected by individuals, and they remember very clearly.
8. In the novel, when the male protagonist obtained the ability, he thought he was dreaming, and tried to escape from the base, and was killed by the mimetic at the seaside, because the mimetic also knew that he had the ability to cycle time, so he sent troops to kill him. After experiencing dozens of reincarnations, the male protagonist begins to accept his fate, and through the training of his superior, becomes a warrior comparable to Rita.
9. Regarding the mecha, the mecha in the novel is to protect the whole body, Rita's mecha is red, and the hero finally paints the mecha blue. Look at the stars.
10. The most useful weapon is a battle axe. Even if the average person wears a mecha, the battle axe will be broken by inertia. Rita is trained by her own cycle. Later The male protagonist also finds that the tomahawk is a weapon that surpasses other shells.
11. The reincarnation that Rita experienced was not deliberately set by the mimic, but a coincidence. Rita discovered this coincidence and, through training, killed the advanced mimic when she was confident of winning the war.
12. The ending of the novel and the movie is very different, so I will not write the difference, because some friends should read the novel, and the ending of the novel is very bloody.
That's all I remember, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
