Chapter 927: Anti-War Movie

For a war movie to look good, it is not just a big scene and fierce battles, but the most attractive thing is actually a tactical confrontation. "Saving Private Ryan" is very powerful in this regard, landing, bridge attack, and defense battles have tactical formulation, as well as the execution of tactics; the whole battle is what tactics the enemy uses to attack, and the US army counterattacks, or what tactics the US army uses, how Germany counterattacks, and how the US forces counterattack again; so that the two sides have confrontation, and the story is naturally wonderful.

Although "Future Apocalypse" is a military science fiction film, it strives to be realistic in combat and tactics. In order to shoot the real war in the future, the crew specially invited military experts to deduce the war in 50 years, what weapons to use, how to match firepower, what tactics to use, etc., and specially invited retired instructors of the US military to arrange new tactical actions according to the weapon matching.

The strong sense of realism made the entire screening hall silent, and almost everyone was immersed in the scene of the movie. The tense atmosphere of the movie made the audience breathe rapidly, their hearts beat faster, and their eyes refused to take half a step off the big screen.

This war scene, which lasted for 30 minutes, was extremely tragic, and even the commander of Adams's brigade was hit by the decapitation tactics of the AI unit, and was hit by a missile launched by a drone, and all of them were killed, and Adams had to become the acting brigade commander. After the battle, Adams rushed to a small town with his brigade to join up with other EU troops. However, after arriving in the town, he was electronically infected by AI and lost contact with other troops.

At dawn the next day, a squad of AI infantry under the cover of more than twenty unmanned tanks charged Adams and them, but in the face of the absolute superiority of human forces, this AI force was quickly wiped out. During the battle, a rocket hit the command vehicle, sending Adams' communications corps and two staff officers into the sky.

Contact with other units was not possible and support units did not arrive on time. Adams was very upset, so he left the command car and walked outside. Outside the position, Adams saw Goo, played by Robert De Niro, wearing a Russian military uniform and slowly riding a bicycle. He had an exaggerated saber pinned to his waist with a swastika on the hilt.

The director, reporters and audience at the scene all noticed the swastika on the saber, because Zhang Ran gave a close-up of the swastika on the knife. In the language of the film, the close-up is emphasized, and the close-up of the swastika is a reminder to the audience that the swastika is important.

Ridley-Scott was a little surprised, why did Zhang Ran let the Russian colonel wear a saber with a swastika? Is it to imply that the human army is Nazi? Or to imply that the Russian colonel has Nazi tendencies?

Robert De Niro played Gu with the latest news about the war situation, the situation is not optimistic, almost all the power of electromagnetic control is in the hands of AI, AI has achieved an overwhelming advantage in electronic warfare, and now the entire battlefield is blind. After the briefing, Gu advised Adams to retreat with his brigade. After much thought, Adams finally decided to retreat and rush to the next rendezvous point to join up with the rest of the troops.

On the way to retreat, Adams and Gu sat in the command car and chatted all over the place, chatting very speculatively. Through the dialogue between the two of them, the audience knows the general situation in the three years since the outbreak of the war, and how the AI army has grown step by step.

Gu saw the picture of Emily in the conductor and asked who the beauty in the photo was. Adams said, girlfriend, but unfortunately it will always be a girlfriend.

Gu comforted: "It doesn't matter, in St. Petersburg, there are many beautiful girls." ”

"No, she may have died at the pole. I was talking to her during the Apocalypse, and she told me something might be going to happen, and then several robots barged in and took her away. There was a hint of pain on Adams' resolute face, "I watched her being taken away, but there was nothing I could do!"

Gu comforted: "Don't worry too much, AI is not a bloodthirsty madman, they are just recognized by human society, let them exist as an independent nation, they won't kill people indiscriminately, they should just lock her up!"

Adams sighed: "I hope so! If there were more armed men in the polar regions at the beginning, maybe everything could have been avoided, but unfortunately the government is unwilling to invest so much money." ”

"I don't think so. Gu took a cup of coffee, "The garrisons of Russia, the United States, the European Union and the Asian Union, as well as thousands of AI-managed factories, oil wells, and nuclear power plants in Antarctica, canceled the privileges of human administrators at the same time, announcing that they were out of human control. In this way, they have successfully taken over our industrial system in the polar regions. These include mines, machine shops, oil wells, and even arsenals and nuclear power plants. The whole plan was quite thorough, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting for this day. In the future, let the world recognize themselves as a nation, and they really will do whatever it takes. ”

Ridley Scott laughed, no wonder the film has used "Wilhelm Die Overture" many times before, "Wilhelm Diehl" tells the story of the 13th century Swiss peasants uniting against Austrian tyranny, is a story of national independence, and the robot in the movie also hopes for national independence, "Wilhelm Die Overture" is appropriate.

Close-up, Adams said emotionlessly: "I'm afraid this thing is difficult, the United Nations will not admit them, AI has superb intelligence, has super computing that humans do not have, will not be tired, fearful, will not suffer from various mental illnesses, human beings are not their opponents." If AI is allowed to sit on the throne, then humans are likely to be notified by robots in the end, or even extinct. This war will not end until one side is completely defeated. ”

Gu sighed slightly, and his expression became a little sad.

After a few seconds of silence, the two chatted again, talking about the saber that Gu Pei was holding. Adams was puzzled by the ancient saber, a Cossack saber with a Nazi logo on it.

Interested in his saber, Komi Adams recounted the history of the saber: "The Caucasus is at the junction of Asia and Europe, and the Caucasus is very sharp and exquisite. In modern times, war broke out between the Caucasus and Tsarist Russia, after which Tsarist Russia conquered the Cossack cavalry of the Caucasus. However, Caucasian weapons such as Xiang Kancha and Chasik conquered the Russian army with their exquisite workmanship, and after the war, the Russian army invariably wore Caucasian weapons. Next, the Cossacks were again involved in the war between the Bolsheviks and Tsarist Russia. In World War II, Germany invaded the Soviet Union and occupied the Caucasus. For various reasons, some of the Cossack knights defected to Germany and fought the Soviets with weapons with Nazi markings, but in the end Germany was defeated. ”

Adams took a sip of his coffee and said slowly, "Then they won't end well." ”

"It is true that they could not return to Germany after the war, and they could not stay in the Soviet Union. Cornered warriors were hired by the British as mercenaries, serving as cannon fodder in the most dangerous places on the battlefield. In the end, however, the UK did not accept their request to remain in the UK, and they will continue to be employed by other countries after the employment period is over. So, their saber is a rare treasure. Gu took a deep breath, "I'm done, drink it quickly, it's going to be cold." ”

Adams gently pulled out the rusty blade, which seemed to smell of blood, and a narrow groove of blood stretched from the tip of the knife to the hilt. He finished his hot coffee and shivered all over.

"This is the final fate of a group of people who are desperate to survive. Gu picked up the paper cup, "War is seen from different angles, there are different justices, and people who insist on different disputes fight each other, and it becomes a war." ”

Adams returned the knife to Gu: "In a way, this war is too. ”

Gu looked at Adams in surprise: "You think so too. ”

Adams said, "I don't think robots are evil, on the contrary, I've seen robots that fight sex to save people." ”

Flashback to the footage, in the midst of the ruins, there is the cry of a baby. Adams asked his soldiers to move through the rubble, and pressed a female robot under a cement slab, her lower body was broken, but she used her shoulders and back to carry the cement slab, and used her body to prop up a small space, and she was a human baby.

The sad music is played by Rossini's "Lament to the Virgin", which was originally about Mary grieving the death of her beloved son under the cross, but in the film the robot in the form of a mother dies, but the child survives. Those who mourn become those who die, and this contrast only makes the atmosphere even sadder.

The camera cuts back to the command car, and Adams sighs, "Instead, I've seen the anti-machine coalition persecuting robots. In a way, I can understand the AI starting a rebellion. But when it comes to survival, first it takes away manual labor, and then labor-intensive industries, which take away too many people's jobs, resulting in a large number of unemployment, and many people can't survive. So, they formed an anti-machine coalition and smashed robots everywhere. From their point of view, it's also about survival. I sometimes wonder why everyone wants to survive and survive, but in the end, why do they have to fight for their lives and turn into a world war?"

Gu said puzzledly: "Since you think so, then why do you want to fight?"

Ridley Scott nodded approvingly, and the conversation reminded him of "All Quiet on the Western Front," which has been hailed as the greatest anti-war movie, and there is a similar dialogue in "All Quiet on the Western Front."

Excellent war films are often anti-war, and anti-war is not simply opposing war, nor blindly criticizing politics, nor deliberately exaggerating the so-called brilliance of human nature. A war film that only cares about criticism and no reflection is not a good anti-war film, and "Future Apocalypse" undoubtedly does this, and is a real anti-war masterpiece.

Ridley Scott glanced at Cameron next to him, thinking that it was also a science fiction film, and in terms of anti-war, "Future Apocalypse" was much stronger than "Avatar"!

At the same time, Cameron is also watching Ridley Scott, thinking that it is a war movie at the same time, and on the issue of anti-war, "Future Apocalypse" is much deeper than "Black Hawk Down"!

On the screen, Adams sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "There are too many jobs being taken away by robots now, and even if there is a war, this situation has not changed much, although it is dangerous to be a soldier, it is a job anyway." And I'm worried that if humanity loses this war, what will be the end result? Will humans become slaves to robots, or will they be moved to Oceania in captivity, or will they be exterminated? Either way it's hard to accept. What about you, and why are you fighting?"

"I'm here to survive too!" Gu looked at his watch and grinned, "It's going to be over soon, it looks like I've passed the Turing test without a hitch!"

At the same time, all the alarms sounded almost simultaneously: "Alarm, pick up the enemy." Azimuth 133, anti-tank missiles are coming, tactical laser systems intercept!"

Adams was taken aback, took out his pistol and pointed it at Gu, and shouted, "You're a human!"
