Chapter 795: A Shocking Beginning
In the previous life, if you want to talk about the movie with the grandest opening scene, the opening of "Independence Day" must definitely be one of them.
Although the 17-minute long shot at the beginning of "Gravity" is also great and sci-fi, in terms of shock, it may be a little inferior to the opening shot of "Independence Day".
It is not difficult to tell from the name of this movie that this is a typical American movie, although the Grandmaster has made some changes to the movie, the overall plot and background have not changed much.
The opening credits of the distribution company and production company at the beginning of the film, the name of the film and the number of July 2, combined with the powerful electronic music, immediately filled the entire Majestic Theater with a tense atmosphere.
The screen turns, and the flag that the Americans left on the moon when they landed on the moon appears on the big screen with a classic soundtrack.
This American flag is probably the most famous flag on this planet, and like the previous life, the United States is still the first country on the planet to send humans to the moon, although Dahua also followed closely to send astronauts to the moon, and Dahua has far more astronauts on the moon than the United States, but this American flag on the moon is the first human flag to be planted on the moon.
So when this scene appeared, many people felt very intimate and real.
Although the beginning of "The Terminator" released half a year ago was also very shocking, the opening of the sci-fi apocalypse gave people a very real feeling, cool is cool, and the shock is also shocking, but it is far less real than the appearance of this American flag.
In front of the national flag is the famous "Commemorative Plaque of Man's First Moon Landing", and at this time, with the picture, the recording of Armstrong's call when he first stepped on the moon sounded again.
The scene is very realistic, and it's easy to hook the audience. Although the audience still can't figure out why there is such a scene at the beginning of the movie, it looks really enjoyable.
However, with the replay of the recording of Armstrong's call to the moon, the audience realized that something was wrong, how could dust appear on the surface of the moon when there was no air at all?
The soundtrack also began to become gloomy, and the dust in the picture became more and more dusty, and even the footprints that Armstrong had left on the surface of the moon began to blur with the vibrations.
How is this possible?
Everyone knows that on the surface of the moon, which is almost vacuum, those shallow footprints can even survive for millions of years!
But now, this sudden change suddenly made the hearts of the audience tug.
"Was it an earthquake, or was the moon hit by a large meteorite?"
Because of the sudden tremors, it seems that there is really no other reason to explain this situation except that there was an earthquake on the moon or the moon was struck by a large lucky stone.
As soon as the picture turned, a wide angle came, and the lunar module, the American flag, and the abandoned tool cart left behind by the first human landing on the moon were all presented in front of the audience.
But what the hell is that big black shadow that suddenly appeared in the distance?
With a muffled soundtrack, the sudden appearance of a large black shadow is obviously not normal, and even if there is a solar eclipse, it is impossible to cause such a fast-moving shadow on the surface of the moon. And as the shadow appeared, the vibration just now was getting bigger and bigger.
How could a solar eclipse cause the moon to shake?
A lot of viewers are already starting to realize that something is wrong.
The picture turned again, and the blue earth was floating quietly in the space not far away, and then, a huge flying body suddenly appeared above the screen, with a dark gray color and a soundtrack, making this suddenly behemoth look particularly shocking.
At this time, all the audience realized that this behemoth that suddenly appeared belonged to an alien visitor.
Although the earthlings have not really confirmed that there are other civilizations living in outer space, the exploration of extraterrestrial civilizations has never been interrupted. And in the minds of the vast majority of earthlings, they believe that aliens should all be well-intentioned.
However, the beginning of the two-and-a-half-minute film, coupled with the low chilling soundtrack, made all the audience feel that this suddenly appeared alien civilization didn't seem to come with good intentions?
Before the audience's questions were answered, the movie screen turned again, and the extremely famous "Very Great Array" appeared.
The Very Large Array is an array of 27 radio telescopes with an aperture of 25 meters, located on the San Agustin Plains in New Mexico, USA, at an altitude of 2,124 meters, and is the world's largest integrated aperture radio telescope.
The appearance of the very large array also temporarily suppressed the curiosity of the audience, especially the slightly funny Asian scientist who was busy playing golf in the office full of equipment, which made many people who sit in the office all year round laugh slightly.
But they didn't laugh long, and the sudden red warning light suddenly turned on the rhythm again.
The sudden arrival of the unidentified flying object, coupled with the explanation of the Pentagon generals for this huge UFO that suddenly appeared, made all the viewers know that this alien flying object has an astonishing diameter of 550 miles.
This huge spaceship immediately made the atmosphere of the entire theater tense again.
Then, the president of the United States appears, and after a heartwarming dialogue, the scene changes again, and the scene of the scientist played by the grandmaster and his father leisurely playing chess in a park in New York is revealed.
The Grandmaster's first appearance was obviously very good, not to mention anything else, the warm applause at the scene was enough to illustrate this point.
Clearly, the Grandmaster's first trip to electrocution was a success.
The movie moves forward step by step, until the thirty sub-spaceships that split off from the huge alien spaceship enter the earth's atmosphere, and the audience at the scene understands that this sudden alien civilization does not seem to have come to the earth with any good intentions.
Sure enough, as the plot progresses, the alien spacecraft launches deadly attacks on major cities around the world, comparable to the attack of a nuclear bomb explosion, turning most of the world's major cities into ruins.
And the terrifying protective layer of the alien spaceship also makes the earthlings helpless, even if it is blown up with a nuclear bomb, it cannot break through the protective layer of the alien spacecraft.
However, the scientist, who was very anxious because the president ordered a nuclear attack, was inspired by a conversation with his father, wrote a virus, and then piloted the alien spaceship captured decades ago with the fighter pilot into the alien mothership, and finally broke through the protective shield of the alien ship by planting a virus, giving humanity a chance to win the counterattack.
In the end, with the union of global humans, the aliens were finally defeated, and this day also happened to be the Independence Day of the United States - July 4.
That's where the name of the movie comes from.
