<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > preface: a prequel to a remastered version</h1>
As the last film in the "Apple Nuclear War" series, "Apple Nuclear War Alpha" in the name of the prequel, in fact, is a drastic adaptation of this comic work, which is a remake, and unlike other series of movies, the picture quality in "Apple Nuclear War" is still acceptable.
Irony of the last days.
However, "Alpha" is not like some movies that consider new feelings, for those who have never seen the "Apple Nuclear War" battle record, watching "Alpha" will feel that it is not connected before and after, but from the perspective of the effect of the picture, a considerable part of the audience will choose to watch "Alpha" first. In fact, the background of "Alpha" does not need to know too much, it is about the survival story of the heroine Dunant as a survivor after a world war, and her partner and ex-boyfriend Brienos.
The characters of good and evil are both horned.
Due to the war, many humans have been transformed into cyborgs like Brienos, and there are several large cities in the world at this time, one of which is a utopia called Olympus, which emphasizes the coexistence of humans and clones, but for this film alone, the background is enough.
The male and female protagonists of this work.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > from survival to having a goal</h1>
Although it is not known what kind of human feelings the male and female protagonists owe to the double horns, the goal of the two of them at the beginning is to complete the tasks entrusted by the double horns, pay off the human feelings, and then survive freely. Different from the general heroic movie, the initial goal of the male and female protagonists is very simple, and even in order to survive, they are not willing to be nosy, but they have found a new meaning in their lives from the last task, and completed a sublimation of the spiritual pursuit of life.
The male protagonist seems to have found a new meaning and pursuit of life.
Even in the environment of the last days, people can not only live, but also have lofty ideals, and even sacrifice their precious lives for this idea. In the context of the end times, the most terrible thing is often not the cause of the end times directly (such as the technology and mechanical power of this work, such as the fungi in "The End of America"), but even in the environment of the end times, some people still do not reflect, still stubborn, and even intensify, for their own selfish desires, so that the already difficult living environment becomes worse.
It is not these cold war machines that are really threatening humanity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > a discussion of the future</h1>
Although "Apple Nuclear War" is a punk-style science fiction masterpiece, while maintaining a high level of combat picture, its dialogue always reflects a vision of the future of mankind. Among them, the concept of "utopia" was re-proposed by it, which is to explore the possible forms of the future of human society. Whether it is necessary to do as it pleases and allow human beings to develop on their own, or to adopt a high degree of intelligence and create rules so that human social development fully follows this code.
The rationality of the clones and the restraint of individual desires.
Unlike a social system with obvious rules, such as Psychometrician, Apple Nuclear Warfare takes a different form of humanity, the controversial clone. Because of the absolute rationality of human cloning, there is no internal struggle between human beings, so that human beings can fundamentally avoid war, and the reproductive ability of human clones is artificially limited, thus eliminating the resource crisis caused by overpopulation.
Cool mech.
In fact, although this future setting is still far away, as far as the current earth is concerned, the greatest threat to human beings is not natural disasters and diseases, etc., but precisely the internal struggle of human beings and the pressure of the growing population on the earth's resources. If it weren't for this discussion, seeing that the heroine of the original Japanese japanese girl was "magically transformed" into an American aunt (please note that this is a prequel on the timeline), I would really think that this is a pure American movie.
The battle scene is still fabulous.
Japanese science fiction movies are one longer and one shorter than American movies. The advantage is that the theme is generally more profound, especially some discussions on the spiritual level or sociology, and the disadvantage is naturally the lack of hardcore power of science fiction, such as the control of the rhythm of battle and the creation of large scenes. As a "blindfolded" audience who has watched "Alpha" from the beginning, if you are interested in the "Apple Nuclear War" series of movies, it is still recommended to start with "Apple Nuclear War" 1 and 2, provided that you can accept the older picture quality.
