"The Wandering Earth 2" was released for 2 days, and the first wave of word of mouth has exploded. As of press time, the box office is 835 million, which is the first place in the current box office of the Spring Festival file.
I believe that with the fermentation of word of mouth, I will continue to maintain this good result! What was once a small broken ball has finally come out, and now it's a big ball.
Judging from the first wave of feedback, the keyword most mentioned by everyone is "shock".
That's right, the sci-fi picture of the second part has more breakthroughs, the appearance of the space elevator appears in front of the audience for the first time, and the unimaginable high-tech scenes when watching "The Three-Body Problem" have been embodied in the movie.
What is even more amazing is the presentation of the mirror to the end, the audience seems to be riding in one of the cars and soaring into the air, this feeling is not too cool (with the giant screen eating effect is better).
The tide flooded the city's landmarks, the Sydney Opera House was under the water, the Statue of Liberty was hit by a meteorite... Humans can't see the moon, it's hard to see birds, and on one side is the devastated surface, and on the other side is the base where cutting-edge technology gathers.
All kinds of postmodern weapons and equipment, functional robots, etc., visually satisfy sci-fi fans, and because the background time in the film is not far from us, people have a sense of substitution, as if these are what will happen in the future.
In terms of lenses, "The Wandering Earth 2" lives up to expectations, adding more hardcore sci-fi than the first one, full of details, and you can get a high score for this alone.
Usually sci-fi movies, there will be more male audiences.
So from the perspective of female audiences, how does "The Wandering Earth 2" feel?
I'm a woman, I'll answer.
Science fiction is hardware, emotions are soul
Most science fiction movies use stories to tell people, and "The Wandering Earth 2" uses people to tell stories. The emotional line that runs through the whole film is like giving it a soul, making the whole story more full and moving.
If you compare a science fiction movie to an AI robot, how sophisticated its design and how powerful it is, it is just a cold machine, and what can make him most effective is the AI program.
Robots without AI programs are ineffective, sci-fi films without human brilliance, are cold.
As the audience said above, the addition of emotional lines makes the film's wind reviews continuous, but it is precisely these emotional lines that give it temperature and dimension.
Interpretation of 2 emotional lines
Liu Peiqiang and his family
In the first part of "The Wandering Earth", Liu Qi showed great resistance to his father Liu Peiqiang, which can be seen from the family portrait cutting off his father's avatar, how deep this hatred is.
In the second part, the suspense of the previous work was perfectly unveiled.
Liu Peiqiang, played by Wu Jing, was once a stunned young man who was often scolded by his master for "driving slowly" for speeding, and after becoming a father, he became steady, took his wife to fly to Shanghai, which has become a ruined city, and was urged by his wife to "drive faster".
In order to get his son a place in the dungeon, he participated in a pilot interview, and when he was touched to the bottom line, he couldn't help but get angry, but he immediately compromised.
Regarding the dungeon quota, the "Moss" system gave him an optimal solution.
Either way, however, he would tear his heart out.
And who can not collapse by leaving such a question to him on the spot to answer?
Intellectually, of course, we would choose Moss's answer. Emotionally, who can accept that a lover who is in love with him dies alone with illness on the surface of the earth where it is difficult to survive.
His painful choice is a small microcosm of this apocalyptic scenario, the dungeon can only accommodate half of the population, you can imagine how many families will face this life and death parting...
At first, his original intention as a pilot was: "I just want my family to live."
Later, he wanted all humans to live, even if his son never saw him again.
The sublimation of individual heroism fighting for family and collective heroism fighting for mankind has been heavily reflected in Liu Peiqiang's character.
Tu Hengyu and daughter
Careful audiences will find that Andy Lau's Tu Hengyu has two states in the film, one is him when he was young, and the other is him "now".
Tu Hengyu is an engineer who studies digital technology, and digital technology is also used in actors, perfectly recreating Andy Lau's appearance in his twenties and thirties (as is Wu Jing).
Tu Hengyu's line is the most sci-fi flavor in the film.
Whether to take a pass to enter the dungeon for refuge and cut off "contact" with his daughter from then on, or to "accompany" his daughter and watch humanity be destroyed, leaving only the digital world.
Ma Zhao gave the answer: no civilization is meaningless
There is a line in the film (to the effect): I don't want to die and put my consciousness on the robot dog to be called.
Tu Hengyu's in-depth study of the digital world brought an unexpected reversal ending.
Through his and his daughter's family entanglement, it leads to the thinking of "digital life and human civilization" - this is undoubtedly a good entry point, especially for moviegoers who do not know much about sci-fi settings, which is very easy to understand and has a sense of substitution.
A sci-fi blockbuster with depth and temperature
Women are naturally more delicate, in addition to visual pleasure for science fiction films, it is easier to empathize with specific characters and details, such as Han Duoduo can't wait to retouch the picture to cover up the sickness after taking a selfie, and the master likes to poke Liu Peiqiang's forehead with two fingers...
These small details, the taste of a product is tears.
"The Wandering Earth 2" is not only the shock of hard science fiction, but also the rich emotions of flesh and blood throughout the film, if there is no foreshadowing and interspersion of these emotional lines, the line "over 50 years old, out of line" may not be as exciting as it is now.
Giving hope to younger people to pass on, leaving the fire to the next generation, from family concepts to collectivist values, each character is growing and sublimating.
"Human courage can transcend time, history and the future"
The sci-fi sense of "The Wandering Earth 2" has depth and temperature. That's my point of view as a female viewer.
