It’s really cool to play two movies in a row, very good sci-fi movies. Although the plot has some flaws, the viewing process is very smooth. I like the sci-fi movies of Neil Blomkamp, and they always have a strong sense of substitution and realism. . Check out his "Aliens in Johannesburg," shaky hand-held photography and constant character interviews, where the special effects are crappy but authenticity still dominates. Of course, "Super Chappie" cannot surpass "District 9", which is the highest level of imitation documentary films, and successfully used aliens to allude to the racial issue in South Africa, while "Elysium" alludes to the reality of the gap between the rich and the poor. question. So what about this movie? The first ten minutes seem to be back to "District 9", and most of the first half is the rhythm of commercial films, which is quite comical, but later Chappie asked: "Why do you humans lie?" After the breakthrough of treating aliens as victims in "District 9", this film also regards artificial intelligence as victims, endowing it with infinite learning ability but unawareness of worldly things. The character played by Uncle Wolf made me think (little India didn't say it, his performance was mediocre), is he really just ambitious? Is it really just for believing in Christ that Chapai is being hunted down? He symbolizes a kind of persecutory human psychology, fear of being replaced, and contempt for aliens, even if the intelligence of these aliens is equally worthy of their democratic rights. Although he doesn't admit it, his mind is still like the idea of man conquering heaven, but many times, the murderer and the victim are the other way around. The director also tried to convey the idea that people are consciousness, the body can be replaced in the future, but consciousness is the soul that composes his life. Maybe this shows his philosophy of life, maybe it's just an idealistic tendency? The growth history of robot punks is very interesting and can become a classic passage in the history of science fiction movies. And little Chappie is really, really cute.
