Verse 476: The End

Just like the rational realism that has always been insisted on in the film "Avatar", the dramatic miracle that justice alone can defeat the strong with the weak did not happen in this film.

Cold weapons, even those with air supremacy, have not been able to defeat the hot weapons with advanced technology.

In the face of powerful earth technology, these natives of Pandora were slaughtered, and the coalition formed by the Nawei people was no longer able to stop the pace of the earthlings' attack.

The surviving Natalie witnessed the slaughter of her own people and the wanton destruction of everything on their planet, and tried to launch a suicide attack despite Jack's resistance, but it was temporarily halted by the sudden and neat halt of the human ground forces.

On the human ground side, a large number of abnormal thermal reactions were discovered, so the pace of progress was suddenly stopped.

The background music, which has not stopped since the beginning of this battle, also came to an abrupt end at this time.

What's wrong?

The film's series of abnormal performances led the audience who were in a low emotional state at the moment to naturally have such a question, and some viewers who reacted quickly immediately guessed that there was a turning point to happen.

But where did this turn come from?

A new tribe of Na'vi has arrived in time to fight, but in the face of powerful earth technology, even if a new group of living forces comes, it will only be a repeat of the previous tragedy, right?

If not, what kind of turn would it be?

……

Shen Huan left the audience with very little time to think.

Before these fast-reacting viewers could think much in this short period of time, the mystery was revealed.

In the sound of trees from far and near, the background music suddenly sounded again, excited, majestic, bright, in the sound of music, the camera turned, a large number of hard-armored rhinos rushed out of the woods.

These originally docile creatures were now rushing forward like high-speed tanks, passing Natalie and rushing in the direction of the human ground forces without hesitation.

Under the 3D effect and lens design, the ground under the audience's feet seems to be vibrated by these huge hard-armored rhinos, and they feel the sense of power immersively.

The human ground forces were not stunned, and immediately launched an attack on these hard-armored rhinos, but their weapons did not do much damage to these rough-skinned alien creatures, but were rushed into the array by these hard-armored rhinos, overturning those heavy mechs one by one.

There are also ferocious hyenas, who have also arrived and joined the chaotic battlefield, fighting side by side with the hard-armored rhinos and fighting these invaders of the earth.

The camera then shifts to the sky, and after the background music is on the ground, the mood is also at its highest, and the whole explosion is elongated by the aria-like strings.

In front of the audience's eyes, they saw that in the sky of the magnificent Hallelujah Mountain, the overwhelming Icaran formed several long dragons and flew from a distance.

To paraphrase a poem written by Shen Huan, this is the true artistic conception portrayal of "The Water of the Yellow River Comes from the Sky", coupled with background music, the romanticism bursts out of the screen, making people feel agitated and intoxicated, and they don't want to blink their eyes. The depressed emotions that were constantly pressed to the lowest point before were finally completely released through this picture at this moment, not to mention how comfortable it was.

……

It's really not a waste shot.

Song Mingyang thought so in his heart.

Whether it is a hard-armored rhino or these hyenas, they are creatures that Jack has just stepped into the primeval forest as an avatar, and now he appears here as a savior, which does not make people feel strange and abrupt. In addition, Dr. Grace's previous introduction to the neural network of Pandora is also connected here, and together with Natalie's cry of "Ava heard your prayer!", explains the reason why these creatures appear: just like Dr. Grace's research, there are a large number of neural networks exposed on Pandora, just like countless biological network lines, and it is through these neural networks that the gods of Pandora, Ava, summon them to help the Nawei people resist the invaders.

Of course, this is also indispensable for Jack's request and explanation to Ava the night before, otherwise, Ava may not realize the devastating consequences of letting the earthlings enter the planet.

It is also indispensable that Jack showed in the process of learning before, these Nawei people regard other creatures as partners, even if they are forced to kill to obtain food, they must pray and give thanks: if it were not for the Nawei people to live in harmony with nature, but to rule as destructively as the earthlings, then even with Ava's call, these creatures may not come to help the Navi people.

All of this is the foreshadowing that has been laid little by little in the natural progress of the previous story, and it is with all the previous ones that this plot comes to fruition and is logical.

……

With the help of these creatures on the planet Pandora, the tide of battle was reversed.

The human ground forces were overwhelmed by a huge number of hard-armored rhinos and hyena coalition forces, and in the sky battlefield, the tide-like Icaran was often five or six, seven or eight, or even ten fighters against one fighter, making up for quality with quantity, and submerging human fighters one after another with dragon sea tactics, destroying one fighter plane after another.

And the emotions of the audience were also successfully guided by Shen Huan in this more than two-hour movie, which made them feel extremely happy to see those mercenaries who were also humans being killed by hard-armored rhinoceros and hyenas, and seeing the soldiers on the fighter plane being swallowed by Ikalan in one bite.

Seeing that Colonel Gerald did not die, but relied on his decisiveness and tactical cultivation to successfully land and escape in a mech, the audience did not feel happy for the escape of the same kind, but became even more nervous.

Thankfully, after another tense hand-to-hand fight in the jungle, Jack and Natalie finally worked together to kill Colonel Gerald. Jack, who was in danger after his physical safety was destroyed during the battle, was also saved by Natalie in time.

At this point, the audience's hearts that had been hanging during the whole martial arts show finally let go, and finally there was a sense of pleasure that evil had been defeated and justice had been served, and their emotions were completely released.

……

At the end of the film, Jack accepts Sutai's last wish and takes over as the patriarch of Ocatia, and most of the earthlings of the mining company are also repatriated to Earth, and only a few are allowed to stay.

As for Jack, he also found the meaning of his life, completed his last scientific journal, and then chose to travel to the Holy Land and become a Na'vi through rituals.

The film ends in a close-up of Jack, who has become a Na'vi man, opening his eyes.

……

The film has ended, on the big screen, the black screen subtitles are still broadcasting various lists, and many viewers have already gotten up and left, but Song Mingyang is sitting still, still wearing glasses, and he is distracted.

This was the first of its kind for him.

And now he is thinking about a problem, that is, the direction of the film industry.

When it comes to the direction of the film industry, the most well-known ones are probably the two major directions of commercial films and art films, but there is actually another higher-level direction, that is, the battle for the direction of story and production technology.

The history of the development of production technology can be said to have a long history, and the origin of such a thing as "film" is actually caused by production technology. It is precisely because of the corresponding production technology that there is a movie, and after that, from silent to sound, from black and white to color, from live action to special effects production, from 2D to 3D, every time is the development of production technology.

The development direction of the story also has a long history: from a live clip that can be called a movie, to a complete story, from a rough film division, to a detailed division of dramas, comedies, romance films, horror films, etc., from stories, to the division of commercial films and art films......

These two are the two elements that constitute the film, and they also complement each other in the entire history of film, and the spiral alternately supports the development.

In Song Mingyang's view, both of these are indispensable and important.

But in recent decades, there has been a trend and status quo that the evaluation of the quality of films is more inclined to the story, and in recent years, it has been more inclined to the "depth" aspect - in this regard, the establishment of various film awards and the guidance of "great contributions".

This was particularly serious in Huaguo a few years ago: in Huaguo a few years ago or even more than ten years ago, as long as you had a certain professional foundation and grasped a social topic that seemed heavy to shoot, it was the so-called good movie. Even if it's rough, it's raw, real, and it's a good movie. It would be better if you were willing to shoot a little darker, and to be blown into the sky, it was the rhythm of going everywhere to win awards.

In recent years, Huaguo has improved a little in this regard, and there are a lot more honest movies, but if you want to gain public praise and be blown up, you still have to have the so-called "depth".

Song Mingyang knows that this is a necessary process for the development of the film industry, and the reason for this phenomenon is that the "advanced" Chinese people who are growing rapidly and are in the dominant position of discourse are in an embarrassing stage: they have left the realm of simply watching a movie story and have more pursuits, but the half-baked level of their own film knowledge makes them unable to see many professional things, unable to fully understand a movie, and can only judge the level of a movie from the "depth" that is easy to see.

At the same time, this is also related to the development of China's film industry: China's current film industry has not yet learned all foreign technologies, let alone self-innovation. is not leading in the film industry, so naturally you can only start with the story and focus on playing the advantage.

Under the combined influence of these two factors, it has led to such a film evaluation environment in China.

For the movie "Avatar", Song Mingyang's comprehensive score can be said to be quite high after watching the movie today, with a full score of 10 points, and he can score 9.8 points - he scored from the most comprehensive and comprehensive direction, covering the two major directions and various subdivisions under the two.

He thinks that this movie, which can definitely be called "great", is a landmark film.

However, in this domestic environment, the movie "Avatar" is likely to not get the "fair score" that he thinks it deserves.
