Road tablets? Sci-fi? Why does The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy make sense?
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a very interesting movie.
There is no one-size-fits-all dogmatism, nor pretentious posturing, showing people as a collection of paragraphs, but winning recognition.
The success of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is due to the construction of the worldview.
In the film, human beings are not the only living forms in the universe that have created civilization, and if they do not know respect, they will be destroyed.
There are many higher intelligent bodies in the vast galaxy, who can easily carry out interstellar travel and break the limitations of multidimensional space.
There are strict regulations in the galaxy, and each planet has its own culture, language, religion, technology, and even the factory responsible for building the planet.
It is precisely because of the establishment of a complete world view that the audience will not have a sense of obtrusiveness when watching the movie.
The other world has the same operating laws as the earth, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and every detail of life has a sense of substitution and novelty.
The second is the breathtaking art design.
The sets, props, and costumes of the movie are all very exquisite, whether it is a spaceship, a planet, or a star-making factory, all of which fully meet the imagination of the audience.
On the screen, the film also has the texture of an art film, especially the color part, the colorful colors do not form repeated large color blocks, but play a role in relieving fatigue for the more scattered plot.
The third is to express the main theme of the film in the form of a road movie.
On the surface, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is eclectic.
Its whimsical, whimsical, and absurd stories are different from traditional sci-fi films that save the world at every turn, in fact, the core of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is to save the world.
It's just that in the way of cosmic road movies, let the protagonist feel life and experience the meaning of existence during the journey, so as to come up with an active life, protect the environment, and love nature, and the earth will become better realism.
Arthur is a self-confessed unlucky earthling, living in confusion and passivity all day, and three glasses and two light wines can shield the disturbances of the world.
Things are not going well around him, the girl he met at the masquerade ball is easily taken away, and the house where he lived for a long time is demolished without any notice.
Even when the earth is destroyed and he becomes a wanderer, Arthur is in a daze, his life is unexpected but reasonable.
Until his alien friend Ford told him that because the Virgon wanted to build the galactic highway, the Earth was an illegal building, so it would be destroyed.
Arthur realized that he had become a rootless duckweed, and began his journey around the galaxy, and the road movie attribute of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" also began.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has all the characteristics of road movies, making friends, acting spontaneously, being safe with encounters, unpredictable, and focusing on the word "casual".
Arthur passively enters the journey, but also grows from what he sees and hears on the trip.
At first, Arthur is afraid and wants to escape when he encounters danger, and when threatened, he is bent on getting rid of the relationship, so he is looked down upon by the girl he loves, Tricia McMillan.
On the planet Viterdo VI, a planet headed by Hama Kafra, their lives are monotonous and boring, believing in the Creator and believing that prayer can eliminate fear.
But on such a seemingly simple planet, there is an extremely terrifying hegemony, Hama Kafra said that he is in control of everything, and Arthur is shocked by this power.
His cowardice caused Trisia, who had come forward, to be captured by the Vigon and her life was in danger, but Arthur was also awakened by Trisia's reprimand, and burst out with unprecedented bravery.
When it comes to Vigon Star, the hierarchy here is strict, orders are forbidden, and words are followed.
A bureaucratic style, only knows how to abide by rigid rules and regulations, does not know how to be flexible and think, even planets and spaceships are built squarely.
As if engraved with the steel seal of thought, all behaviors are set within a framework, and once someone passes it, they will be slapped by flies and serve indefinitely.
In dealing with such people, arrogance alone will not work, and it is necessary to treat the problem.
Since the Weigang people like decrees, everything has to go through the process, even if the mother is chased and killed by monsters, they must wait for the order to be issued, then give them a piece of paper.
Arthur no longer has the attitude of getting by and not caring about anything like he did on Earth in the past, but uncharacteristically, does not complain, takes the initiative to take responsibility, and finally saves Trisia from the sea of suffering.
The journey continues, and at Magsian, Arthur understands what it means to be alone.
Magxian Star is closed to the public, and visitors are forbidden to approach, and they are greeted by high-temperature nuclear missiles without heeding warnings.
The planet is full of ice and snow, with no sign of life, only lonely entrances to other time and space and long ice that has been unused for a long time.
But these space-time portals can travel through time and space to let people see the ultimate proposition of the universe left by supercomputers.
Ford and Tricia jumped in, leaving only Arthur and the melancholic robot Marven at the entrance, lamenting that life was hopeless, and it was over.
Just as they were infinitely sad, the star-making engineer appeared and took Arthur to the star-making factory to show him the new Earth.
They pass the White Cliffs of Britain, Ayers Rock in Australia, the endless sea, and the towering Himalayas.
As well as the lawn and forest around Arthur's house, Arthur realized that he hadn't noticed for a long time that the planet he lived on was so beautiful and worth cherishing.
The essence of life is plain and the same.
If you give up even yourself, no matter how beautiful the earth is, it will not help, and if you find the beauty in ordinary days, life will have meaning.
Faith in life is restored, love follows, and on Earth Two, Trisia and Arthur kiss each other, becoming a real couple who meet again after missing out.
This galactic journey ends here, and the ultimate answer to the universe is about to come out.
Don't panic, as long as you understand the problem, you don't need a supercomputer to know the meaning of the answer.
This is also the core of this galactic roaming journey, the world does not need hegemony, nor does it need bureaucracy, the earth needs love and hope, this answer everyone knows, but everyone will not easily understand.
