The classics of literature that have been tested over hundreds of years are also very obscure in interpretation. Different eras have different living environments, thinking habits and social aesthetic standards. The film in 1964 will inevitably lead to obscure interpretation. The film itself is progress. , The expression form and style of sci-fi movies of different eras are different, there are high and low levels, and the degree of development of people and society is extremely unbalanced. The audiences of different movies and different eras are originally different. Movies need people with stronger theoretical thinking and deeper cultural background to watch, while realistic movies are aimed at a wider audience. Is there a difference between the two? There are different divisions under different standards.
Easy to understand: 2001 scored very low, the film is deliberately not easy to understand.
Implications: 2001 was a standout.
Which standard is higher? If this is a realistic work, it must be easier to understand, because it wants to inspire as many people as possible. If it is a more abstract proposition or even a more profound discussion, profound meaning and easy to understand will inevitably conflict. It is not easy to take care of it. Sometimes it is better not to take care of it. In this way, an easy-to-understand sci-fi movie is not a sci-fi literature and art, but a realist work with a new layer of skin.
Different people have different life experiences and cultural levels, so watching the same movie is bound to be divided into two levels. At that time, the Internet was not developed, and now all movies are aimed at audiences of all levels, and they are bound to be tested.
The inherent requirement of science fiction movies is to discuss philosophical propositions, but in terms of expression, they are limited by abstraction and obscurity, exceeding the understanding of most audiences, which will limit the development of science fiction literature and art, which is also a limitation of the times.
