After watching Wandering Earth 2, I feel it
Today, I watched the Wandering Earth 2 with my family, which has been praised on the Internet, and the Wandering Earth was also watched by the whole family for 19 years, so as soon as I took time out this time, I went to the scene again.
I personally don't really like Wu Jing, and I also like the latter a little more than the original Wolf Warrior series and Operation Red Sea, but after watching the two Wandering Earths, I really admired and liked Wu Jing.
These two wandering earths, if 1 does not have Wu Jing's full support, can not be born, as for Wu Jing's interpretation in 2, although there are many slots to complain about according to old fans like me, but the whole movie I am still willing to score a high score of more than 9 points, 3 hours of no urine throughout the name is worthy of the name.
The Wandering Earth 1-2 really created a milestone in China's science fiction film industry, and I never thought that the completion of the second part would be so high, and director Guo Fan contributed a lot.
The capital market is naturally unconvinced, the literary and art circles and film circles raised by the remote animal husbandry industry are crazy to hold the historical nihilistic Manjiang Hong, and I personally don't want to make any evaluation of this movie.
It is better for the fifth generation of directors to call the curtain collectively early, their era has passed, and the new generation of young directors now have their own kneecaps, and the words can only be said about this.
Needless to say, American film critics collectively beat low scores and racked their brains to find angles to criticize these things, and only more than 100 of the more than 10,000 theaters are willing to put on the film, which is needless to say.
A lot of things are cultural battles, racial battles, civilizational battles. It's just that Westerners are going all out, and many of our domestic cultural elites are unwilling to open their eyes, or have a clear heart, and are used to duplicity. However, many ordinary people are ignorant and ignorant, and they are led by the public opinion field of Western-style values without knowing it.
The author is actually a narrow-minded small citizen bourgeois weak leftist youth, timid and cowardly in reality, has been a mouthful of hard keyboard indignant youth for many years, if according to myself, or the idea of the new generation of netizens who are gradually confident in many at present, the idea of leftist youth, the plot of wandering the earth is not cool enough, to deal with this crisis a hundred years later, Chinese has long been in step to open interstellar migration, rush to the sea of stars, do not play with the robbers, liars, thieves on this broken planet, let them rot on the earth is the best choice.
But reason tells me that although the mouth is cool for a while, but the realistic logic of China, the slogan of a community with a shared future for mankind is not empty talk. Are we really able to make this great nation and civilization with such great achievements in the wandering earth, as for Westerners, they are not worthy? All I can say is that I know myself.
Hollywood's American values do not need to be elaborated too much, the entire Chinese post-70s, post-80s, and post-90s are watching these grown up, the three views of three generations of old, middle-aged and young netizens, whether they are polluted by Western values, or awakened after reading thousands of sails, everyone has their own answer in their own hearts.
Let's talk about some details, many people are not very satisfied with the story line of Andy Lau's character engineer Tu Hengyu in the film, I myself think that this line and the plot fit is okay, I personally feel that if you can improve the details of digital life, such as adding the time difference flow setting between virtual space and the real world, it can better explain why the digital life school will oppose the wandering earth's "mountain moving plan", because for the digital life school, all human beings escape into virtual space, infinite elongation and the time difference between the real world, In the last 100 years of the solar helium flash , a relative eternity may be achieved.
The plot of the digital life school, and the final Easter egg at the end of the film reveal that artificial intelligence MOSS is the villain are all original plots that are not in the original novel, and I personally feel that the overall idea is more in line with the original novel.
I don't have much surprise that MOSS is a hidden villain, because from the beginning of the film, various clips that use surveillance equipment to monitor the overall situation are used as metaphors for the defection of artificial intelligence. The plot dialogue between Moss and Liu Peiqiang in The Wandering Earth 1 has long revealed its purpose and logic, and it is not unusual for a villain who has long been exposed in the first part to perfect his character in the second part.
The setting of moss was originally a tribute to Kubrick's role in 2001, and the plot direction in The Wandering Earth 2, but it put a question mark on the death ending that has been revealed in the first part, and hit this setting to a position that even greatly changed the plot of the original book.
Because according to the setting in 2, it even interfered with the historical events before the birth of its original quantum computer 550W, the elaboration of the ending Easter egg moss, the 2044 space elevator rebellion, he is a black hand, the 2075 escape from the Jupiter crisis in the plot of Wandering Earth 1 also has it, and then also mentioned the follow-up 2078 solar helium flash event, and a little detail disclosed in the film, in 1978 governments received warning signals at this point in time 2044, Coupled with the MOSS dialogue mentioned at the end of the film in order to overcome human obsession with the historical present, the future, it is obviously implied that the mastermind behind all this MOSS has begun to involve the concept of time, I personally feel that the setting is a bit abrupt, after watching the Easter egg, I jumped from the epic of science fiction space human civilization to American time travel, Japanese timeline, or interstellar crossing multidimensional space worldview, confused.
The ending Easter egg moss also revealed that its birth is the learning and multiple iterations of Tuya's "human circuit", plus the variable of digital life father Tu Hengyu, and then a logical collection was born, this setting is a bit similar to the concept of quantum black box computers in traditional science fiction, only the input and output ends, the internal is unmeasurable, the birth is chaotic and accidental, and cannot be copied. The countless scenes of Tu Hengyu and Tu Yaya at the end of the Easter egg film are hidden in the eyes of MOSS electronics, and the mysterious knock on the door, Director Guo should want to show the essence of MOSS and lay the foreshadowing for the third part.
My teenager has read the original book of the wandering earth, and the most shocking scene in my impression is that in 2078 after escaping Jupiter, the protagonist and his wife parted ways, each joined the government army and the opposition, the opposition finally broke the coalition government, executed all the coalition government personnel, and then was about to slow down the planetary engine and return to the solar system, the sun helium flashed, and then the opposition was silent, took over the responsibilities of the coalition government, and continued the wandering plan for more than 2,000 years with humans and the earth.
To be honest, I am looking forward to this plot, the Wandering Earth 3 according to the current plot trend, it should be here, I want to see how Director Guo will interpret.
To put it another way of speaking, after we were forced to let go by the situation at the end of 2022, many people also used this plot metaphor for a lot of things at that time, and I was also full of emotions at that time, and I didn't know what to say.
The Wandering Earth 2 uses the Chinese film industry to tell Chinese values, oriental collectivism, and collective sacrifice heroism, which are enough to cover up the details of the film that many film critics look for from their own perspective.
The author rarely writes film reviews, and this time I am willing to talk at such a length, I really see the rise and hope of China's film industry, and hope that every interested Chinese audience can experience this landmark work by themselves.
