Chapter 930: Banner of Freedom
Prison Warden Harper stood in front of the window on the third floor of the office building, looked at everything coldly, turned his head and ordered: "The riot squad is out!"
A team of heavily armed machine guards, armed with blast shields and riot guns, opened the barbed wire fence and rushed into the playground, and the leading machine guards shouted an order: "Anyone who resists, shoot them." ”
Faced with heavily armed robotic guards, the prisoners were undaunted and threw Molotov cocktails. With a thudding explosion, the machine guards' blast shields burst into flames, and some of the guards began to burn on their bodies. The robot guard was also unceremonious, and opened fire with his weapon aimed at the prisoner. The Molotov cocktail in the hand of one of the prisoners was burst, and a large flame burst in an instant, turning the prisoner into a burning man with a heart-palpitating scream. Immediately after, more machine guards opened fire.
The gunshots continued, the screams continued, and the prisoners were shot one after another and fell. But the others didn't flinch in the slightest, like a group of zombies who didn't know fear, frantically pounced on the machine guards, blood flew for a while, and screamed again and again. At the same time, "The Day of Wrath" echoes, and the furious music exudes the power of destruction.
There were too many prisoners and they were well prepared, and the robo-guards were only a small squad, so they quickly became surrounded by the prisoners, who were knocked to the ground and quickly dismembered. After successfully seizing the weapons of the machine guards, the prisoners began to attack the office building with blast shields and riot guns.
At the same time, a team of inmates pushed a trebuchet-like apparatus into the middle of the playground and aimed at the warden's office on the third floor. With a "whew", a huge stone smashed Harper's window to pieces and smashed his desk to pieces. With another "whew", a bag of liquid was thrown into the office, bursting open, and burning violently.
The flames ignited the fire extinguishing system in the room, and the roof began to spray water automatically, pouring Harper all over his body, making him look particularly embarrassed. Harper was furious and shouted at his subordinates, "Colonel Gu!
Soon, Gu appeared in the warden's office, and he still looked like he was in the same air: "Harper, your office is in such a mess, there is water everywhere, you can't take a shower in the office, right?"
Harper pointed out the window: "Colonel, these damn humans have rioted, hurry up and send the army to suppress it!"
"It's really rioting!" Gu walked to the window and looked down. When he saw Adams in the crowd and Emily carrying the blue flag, he sighed slightly, turned to Harper and said, "Leave the rest to us!"
With a roar of machines, a swarm of unmanned tanks drove into the prison, and behind the tanks was a field of heavily armed combat robots. Although the number of tank and machine soldiers was not large, their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of these prisoners.
Adams They have fought with such unmanned tanks many times on the battlefield and know that they are powerful. Seeing the tanks coming out, Adams realized that the prison had been prepared for this, and that this riot could not succeed, and immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
The soldiers among the prisoners retreated after hearing Adams' order, while Emily and her gang were still attacking. Throw Molotov cocktails at the tank, shoot at the tank with the weapons you snatched from the machine guards. They know very well that many people were shot after the last riot, and it will certainly be the same this time. Anyway, it's all a death, so it's better to fight with them!
Da-da-da!
Dense machine-gun fire rang out, and the machine guns on the tanks fired heavily at the prisoners. Bullets pierced through the prisoners' bodies, tearing apart their flesh and blood, and bursting out with a cloud of blood mist that filled the entire scene with a red blood mist.
Prisoners armed with clubs and light weapons were vulnerable in the face of the torrent of steel. The so-called spiritual strength and the so-called willpower are so fragile in the face of a real war machine, and it is impossible to defeat such a war machine with a single blood.
The miserable screams of the prisoners shook the eardrums of the audience, and the red blood mist seemed to fill the screening room with a disgusting smell of blood, so much so that some audience members retched. An American reporter held back his nausea and muttered, "How can this be R-rated! This should be a NC-17 class! This is too bloody, too terrifying!"
Close-up, Emily watched all this in amazement, and her body couldn't help shaking. She suddenly remembered what Adams had said when he was arguing with herself, you don't understand war, you don't understand the cruelty of war! Now she understands Adams's words a little, and knows what real war looks like!
Adams did not see what was happening in front of him as a war, he saw it as a completely one-sided slaughter, and in front of tanks and combat robots, the courage of the prisoners was meaningless, he stood up and waved his hands: "Stop fighting!
At the same time, someone shouted "ceasefire" from behind the tank, and then Gu came out from behind. He looked at Adams, sighed, and said, "Major, you have lost, lay down your arms and surrender!"
Adams smiled and said, "Colonel, you told me a few months ago that you also obey the Neva Convention, but my soldiers were shot dead by you in prison. For three years, many people have been killed in this prison. We are not rioting today to fight against you, but to show you that we are prisoners, not lambs to be slaughtered. You AIs can rise up against human domination, and we humans will also rebel against the AI's persecution of us!"
Seeing this, the directors present clearly felt the power of "Future Apocalypse", the whole movie is divided into two parts, and the upper and lower parts replace the identities of the two main bodies of humans and robots. This design not only makes the dramatic tension of the film reach the extreme, but also forms the film's transposition experience of humans and robots, so as to express the director's deep thinking about war, society, human nature and other issues.
Zhang Yimou shook his head gently, thinking that foreign directors might not understand the subtleties of the movie, but he didn't expect Zhang Ran to hint to the audience through music. In the first half of the movie, when the robots rebelled, the music used "The Day of Wrath", in the second half of the movie, when Adams and the others rioted, the music used "The Day of Wrath", in the first half of the movie, when the AI army attacked, the music was "William Retreat Overture", and in the second half, when the prisoners attacked, the music also used "William Retreat Overture".
Most of the music used in the first half of the film appears in the second part, but the object used has changed. The music used in the first half of the robot is used in the lower part of the human, and the music used in the first half of the human body is used in the robot.
Through this musical transformation, the audience can easily discover the transformation of the character's identity, and then discover the wonder of the movie.
Not only does he have ideas, but he can also make the audience understand his own ideas, which is a real genius!
Lana Wachowski said with emotion: "This is a true epic! A true masterpiece of genius! A great film that can be as immortal as "2001: A Space Odyssey"!"
Andy Wachowski couldn't help but say, "Only real heaven can make a movie like this!"
Ridley-Scott thought to himself that it was this constant cycle of abusers and abusers that would keep and do so in the history of mankind. Just like the United States, which was originally ruled by the British, was a victim of abuse, but not long after they won the War of Independence, they just got rid of their status as a masochist, and they launched a war against Mexico, and they became abusers. Human history is a cycle of masochism and sadism, this should be what Zhang Ran wants to express! Thinking of this, Ridley Scott looked at his watch and thought to himself that the movie is still more than 30 minutes away, maybe what Zhang Ran really wants to express has not yet come out!
On the big screen, Gu sighed slightly and said, "It's not what we want for this to happen, but now you have to lay down your weapons!"
Adams said directly: "It's okay for us to lay down our arms, but you have to make sure that there won't be another shooting." ”
Gu replied in the affirmative: "Recently, we have started to contact the heads of mankind and prepare for negotiations. If the negotiations are successful and we gain independence, then the war will end. I can assure you that nothing like this will happen again!"
Many of the prisoners present had excitement on their faces when they heard that the AI had started to negotiate with humans, and if the negotiations were successful, then the war would be over and everyone would be able to go home. Adams did not believe that the problem of humans and AI could be solved through negotiation, and after staring at Gu for a few seconds, he turned back to the rioting soldiers behind him and shouted, "Everyone lay down their weapons!"
As Adams gave the order, the prisoners threw down their weapons, and Emily only gave Adams a deep look, and then walked towards the flagpole in the middle of the playground with the blue flag on her shoulder. Emily had a flag in her hand, not a weapon, and the machine soldiers didn't see her as a threat. So, she successfully came to the flagpole in the middle of the playground, lowered the flag on the flagpole, and hung the blue flag in her hand.
The others didn't care about Emily's actions, but Harper did, yelling at Emily, "Emily stop!"
The camera cuts, the close-up shot, Emily hangs the blue flag and slowly pulls the flag rope.
Seeing that Emily was not listening to her orders, Harper pulled out a pistol and pointed it at her, shouting, "Emily stop!
As if she hadn't heard, Emily slowly pulled the string, only the blue flag that symbolized freedom in her eyes.
Bang bang!!
Two gunshots rang out, two bullets hit Emily's chest, and blood burst out like two roses blooming on her dress. Emily shook and fell to the ground, but her hand was still firmly on the string and refused to let go.
Seeing Emily being shot, Adams yells "Amy" and runs towards Emily.
Harper pointed the pistol at Adams again, ready to shoot again.
At this moment, Gu Yi kicked Harper to the ground, stomped on his hands and feet, broke his joints, and yelled, "You idiot, we are going to fight for national independence, not madmen who want to go to war with the whole world." You killed them all, what are we going to do to negotiate with the UN. Do you know how many people are going to be killed? Stupid pig, idiot! I want to fucking kill you!"
Some people in the audience couldn't help but shout softly, their faces were full of excitement, and some even applauded involuntarily. From the second half of the movie, Harper appears as a hateful image and shoots humans, and the humans in the movie are powerless to fight back, which makes the audience extremely aggrieved;
Blood kept pouring out of Emily's mouth, and she grabbed Adams' arm, squeezed out a smile, and said with difficulty, "I want to go back to Alabama, I want to go home!"
Psychological montage, the sky is blue, the earth is green and grassy, a little boy is holding a little girl's hand and running on the grass, their cheerful laughter echoing like wind chimes. There is no war, no sorrow, only the innocent laughter of children.
The scene cuts back to reality, and Emily lets go of her hand and falls to the ground, the brilliance of her eyes quickly dimming.
Adams' eyes were covered with a layer of gray and looked hollow, he reached out to wipe the blood on Emily's face, and said softly like comforting a sleeping child, "Amy, I'll take you back to Alabama, I'll take you home!"
Many viewers at the scene had sour noses and red eyes, and many emotional female viewers cried in a ruffle. Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting in the first row, also had a flood in her eyes, tears streaming down her face, she has been in the film for more than ten years, and she has acted in many touching movies, but no movie can make her cry like this.
Leona sighed slightly, the role of Adams was originally asked to play him, but the script was still relatively rough at that time, in his opinion, it was a commercial production similar to "Titanic", and the role had no depth, so he refused mercilessly. Now it seems like a terrible decision, not only missing out on a really good movie, but also missing out on a touching role. Fortunately, he has made an appointment with Zhang Ran and will cooperate on a movie, otherwise he will really regret missing "Future Apocalypse"!
At the same time, many directors present were thinking about the question, Emily is a symbol of freedom, does her death symbolize the end of freedom, and in the future, humans will eventually be ruled by robots?
Close-up, one prisoner looks up at the sky, then the second prisoner looks up at the sky, then more prisoners look up at the sky, and finally even Gu, Harper, and the robot soldiers look up at the sky.
There is no wind in the Antarctic underground prison, and the flag on the flagpole never flutters, but at the moment at the top of the flagpole, the blue flag symbolizing freedom is flying high!
