I don’t know how many people are like me. Before the UFO appeared, I always thought that the male protagonist made up all kinds of lies in order to realize his desire for control, and even thought that it was ridiculous that the female protagonist spent so much time getting a set of anti-virus suits. But the scene where the flying saucer appeared, and the heroine's calm (at least seemingly) "come on" sentence made me deeply admire the director's eclectic style.
A man who has lived in the army, clenched his fists when he was nervous, often treated him with cold eyes, threatened with violence if he didn't follow suit, and had unknown motives to rescue them, and even the male protagonist who was suspected of murder provided shelter for the two survivors. The outside world is full of dangers, go out and face the problem of life and death; the refuge can provide protection, at least not face the threat of death, but it must desperately suppress their doubts, claims, and any actions that do not satisfy the "master". . How will you choose at this time? Before the female protagonist and the male 2 did not discover the incident of the missing girl, they actually chose to obey, which is reasonable. And the wonderful thing is that after the two people found it. To walk out of the shelter to face unknown terror and threats, or to stay and "gamble"? Continue to be cautious and comfort yourself that the current situation is at least much better than the outside world. Maybe the situation left behind may not be as bad as you imagined. Maybe for the better, you can change others and persuade others to be kind. How will you choose at this time? Of course, the director has already shown us his choice, which is also a very strong approach, but if we face this situation—it’s not that aliens really attack the earth, for example, if you want to be independent again, press You want to live your own life, but you find that you can’t do without the various arrangements of your parents, or you find that your current job is a psychological torture for you, and it has already given you signs of various mental and physical diseases, but And you are afraid of "can't find such a good job again", how will you choose?
As a Hollywood production, the director must of course express the value of "die for freedom". Frankly speaking, it is also an approach I appreciate. In the final analysis, people's life experience is basically composed of various choices (the era when individuals have no right to choose in order to obey the collective has been a long time away from the Chinese), but sometimes, I have to say that people are forced out. After discovering the dangerous environment outside, the heroine ran to go to another house. If the previous shelter hadn't been destroyed, would she choose to go back to the original place? Thinking of this, it will inevitably pour cold water on the previous blood. Of course, the director did not give the possibility of this choice. In the end, the heroine still defeated the "powerful" alien opponent by herself. If she hadn't been forced into this situation, I'm afraid she would not have such spontaneous power. By the end of the film, the heroine has changed from a quarrel with her boyfriend. The girl, or woman, who is about to run away from home in a fit of anger, "grows up" into a soldier with combat experience who is about to take on the responsibility of protecting the earth. This is not a way to be forced out. But behind this road, it cannot escape the influence of values. So, in a patriarchal environment, there is no ego, life and death are unpredictable, but standing up against, perhaps facing more dangerous enemies, but at least we can grow into warriors?
Finally, allow me to rant: Homemade wine bottle bombs are artifacts.
