Verse 474: Justice
The war officially began, and the hawks gained absolute control.
As the doves of the losers, Jack and the others were imprisoned, but fortunately, one of the mercenaries, close to the scientific team, and Chuti had a righteous heart to save them. Unfortunately, Dr. Grace is in danger when he is shot by Colonel Gerald, who is being chased out, while on the run.
The base, which was completely in the hands of Colonel Gerald, could not stay any longer, and Jack and the others had to take a laboratory to Hallelujah Mountain, which was arguably the safest place on the entire planet of Pandora due to its ability to automatically disrupt electromagnetic fields.
On the other hand, the displaced Okatia tribe had nowhere else to go but to the sacred place in the Hallelujah Mountains, where their god Ava was located, hoping that their god would protect them.
With Dr. Grace in danger on the one hand, and the Okatia clan on the other, who have been displaced and will continue to be hunted down by Colonel Gerod, Jack has a decision.
In the mobile lab he had brought with him, he re-entered his Avatar and summoned his Icaran, who found a Toruk and flew close to it from above it.
This ferocious aerial supremacy was so powerful that no creature dared to attack it, so how could it be as vigilant as those weak birds?
Then Jack jumped at it.
……
Song Mingyang noticed a detail here, and that was the color of Toruk.
Toruk's body and wings are bright red and yellow, which is very unique and different from the creatures on the planet Pandora.
In the previous films, there have been many creatures on the planet Pandora, but whether it is a gentle war horse, a hard-armored rhinoceros, or a fierce hyena and Icaran, their skin tones are blue, gray, dark purple, etc., this dull and cold color system.
If you think about it carefully, this is very natural, because on the planet Pandora, which is composed of sky and forest, blue, green, and black are the main colors of the planet, and only by becoming this color can creatures better protect themselves from detection, which is the inevitability of evolution.
Those with unusually bright colors have long been eliminated in the long process of natural evolution.
But Toruk is different.
Its bright red and yellow color is extremely unique and conspicuous on the planet Pandora, and it is very different from other creatures on the planet Pandora, and it should have been eliminated in the process of evolution according to normal laws, but it has multiplied to this day. This shows how powerful it really is, so powerful that it doesn't need to be disguised with color to protect itself.
And the strength and pride it is engraved in his bones also gives Jack a reasonable explanation for his behavior at the moment.
This kind of detail makes the film real.
In fact, seeing now, Song Mingyang has found countless such small details in "Avatar": for example, the language used by the Nawei people is obviously carefully designed, with internal logic, and it feels like a real foreign language when it sounds, and it is not just a casual chatter; Zahik and others can easily distinguish each other from their faces, so as not to be confused, rather than simply distinguishing each other by different outfits; for example, Natalie, Sutai and other Nawei people speak Chinese when they are not pure Mandarin, but with a very strange local accent, so that the audience listens to their alien identity more convinced, in the Chinese version there are such details, Song Mingyang believes that in the English version of "Avatar" For example, the ubiquitous exposed neural network system on Pandora not only shows the alien uniqueness of Pandora, but also explains why these avatars can control war horses, Icaran, etc. freely from a scientific point of view, and explains the theology on Pandora from the perspective of earth technology, so that the audience can easily understand and accept this theological concept on Pandora......
The reason why this film feels so real and shocking now is that in addition to the fact that 3D technology has indeed made a great contribution, the handling of these small details is also crucial.
Shen Huan constructed a real world.
Shen Huan's several years of retreat are also reflected in these things: this is indeed an extremely vast and complicated project, which needs to be done carefully and quietly.
……
With his bravery and resourcefulness, Jack managed to tame a Toruk and became the legendary Phantom Knight. He then rode Toruk to the Holy Land.
Under the influence of the ancient legend of the Phantom Knight, the people of the Ocatia tribe no longer firmly rejected him, and agreed to Jack's request to help him use Ava's power to try to make Grace transfer her consciousness to an avatar body through the neural network on the planet Pandora, so that she could continue to live. But alas, this ritual has a certain probability of failure, and Grace fails, and can no longer hold on, closing her eyes forever.
During this time together, Jack developed a deep affection for Grace, who took care of him like a mother, and Grace's death made him completely determined in grief.
He had Sutai act as an interpreter and addressed the survivors of the Okatia tribe.
As the Phantom Knight, he asks everyone to find the rest of the tribes on the planet Pandora, telling them that the Phantom Knight is calling them and calling on everyone to unite and bravely fight back against the invaders of Pandora.
Inspired by his passionate speeches, the Okatia people were inspired by his passionate speeches to fully accept Jack, and they also ran around, using the call of the Phantom Knights to unite the tribes, and a large number of warriors rushed to the Holy Land from all directions, ready to fight the invaders.
At the same time, the base also discovered the build-up of troops through reconnaissance equipment.
Colonel Gerod likewise gave a pre-war speech.
Under his skillful speeches, they became innocent victims who were just trying to survive, and the local natives were the evil forces that wanted to surround them, break through their defenses, and slaughter them. Therefore, in the face of this evil force, they have no choice but to preemptively defend themselves and maintain the justice of Pandora's planet by countering violence with violence.
In the process, he used the large number of enemies found in satellite images to put psychological pressure on the mercenaries, make them feel the existential crisis, make them believe that they are on the side of the war, and thus induce them to side with him. On the other hand, he used the ignorant belief of the natives that their "gods" would protect them, so that everyone realized the backwardness and ridiculousness of the natives, and always showed his strong faith, so as to give these mercenaries the confidence of victory and relieve them of psychological pressure.
Compared to Colonel Gerod's highly skillful speech, Jack's speech was crude and pitiful, with nothing but blood and righteous indignation.
And after Colonel Gerod's combination punch continued, the mercenaries were indeed deeply encouraged, and they were led by Colonel Gerod's nose, full of confidence and conviction, ready to start fighting.
A war has officially begun.
……
It's really going to be true to the end.
When Song Mingyang saw this, he thought so in his heart.
Shen Huan did not divide the camp as simply and rudely as "decent" and "villain" like many movies, but through Colonel Gerald's wonderful speech, he once again carried out detailed and complex processing, which made people have more room for thinking and closer to reality.
For this kind of treatment, Song Mingyang is undoubtedly a plus here.
