Section 336 Respective interpretations
After the three-body problem achieved a reverse decline in the second week, it still maintained a zero decline in the third week. This movie has been in a state for three weeks, and it can be said that it has made all the audience, all the media, all stunned, and what is even more remarkable is that I don't know how long this state will be maintained.
It seems that this movie is destined to become this year's box office champion, and the movie itself is bound to become a classic of a new science fiction movie.
And fans of science fiction movies are always the most fanatical group of people, and with their existence, it is natural for this movie to have a big source of income. At the same time, such fans often mean that the movie will have a lot of fan base, and these fanatical fans will also add a lot of influence to the movie.
In fact, not long after the movie ended, many science fiction fans had already organized and were discussing whether the theories in this movie were right or not.
After all, in the movie, the human beings who launched the earth's position towards the universe can be said to have become the biggest tragedy. NASA's plan has already sent such information into space. Some scientists have been opposing this approach, such as Stephen Hawking, who is a well-known figure who opposes such a practice.
And now, the story told in this movie is a story that caused evil consequences in this way, which naturally caused a lot of repercussions.
Many fans have decided that in reality, this dark forest theory is also tenable - even someone shouted out at this time that NASA is a rice bucket.
However, such a discussion is another matter for those who really know the inside story.
After all, everyone knows that although this movie is based on cutting-edge science, it is not real science after all. It's like there is no Force in the universe. The Dark Forest Theory is also impossible to hold in reality.
It's just that people can't say such words to fans. Avid fans are very irrational, and the original female fans can march against Tom. Cruise takes on the opposite role, and you can see how fanatical they really are, and no one can do anything about them.
Compared with avid fans at this time, there is more discussion about the authenticity of science fantasy in the movie, and more media attention at this time is the connotation of the movie.
After all, the box office of this movie. It seems that it is already about to set a record, so, in addition to the box office, can this movie stand the test in other aspects?
And these days, the media has also had a lot of comments about this movie.
"A work that digs deep into human nature."
"What is more shocking than a drop of water is the cannibalism of human beings in the face of crisis."
"It's not so much a science fiction movie as a disaster movie. It's better to be a political film than a disaster movie. ”
Before the release of the movie. People's evaluation of this movie is not very optimistic. After all, the movie involves a cosmic war, involving the arrival of aliens. When it comes to the vision of the future of mankind, as soon as these things come out, it is often equivalent to no longer having any logic at all. A movie has a high box office and is able to attract audiences. It often means that the media has not praised it, and people have seen too many scenes like this.
But out of expectation. The media's evaluation of this movie is very high.
For science fiction films, the media's evaluation has always been low, because the magic word science fiction often means that the story is nonsense, and it often means that the story has a lot of things that cannot be justified. In a movie story, if there is something that cannot be justified, it will naturally be unsatisfactory, even if a story is filmed no matter how good-looking it is, but logically it is chaotic, then the story is also a failure.
However, although some stories are dressed in science fiction, the essence of the stories cannot be said to be particularly bizarre, but focuses on how to reflect human beings, and the evaluation is naturally different.
For example, a few years ago, Levy shot Warm Inside Light, which was such a movie. Although this movie is known as a science fiction film, there is such an amnestic as being a science fantasy at a glance, and it is impossible to achieve, but after the movie was released, it has never been regarded as a science fiction film.
That's a romance movie, a pretty delicate film that depicts the love of two people. Saying that it is a science fiction film is unacceptable to both science fiction fans and movie fans. It's just to tell a story, so it's just dressed up in a science fiction coat, and such a movie can't be said to be science fiction.
For sci-fi fans, they don't approve of such a movie. But for movie fans, in their opinion, such a movie is better than those movies that are purely cosmic wars. Movies are not just fantasy things, many things are closer to reality but more exciting, in addition to the grand and spectacular scenes, how to unite with the nuanced feelings of human beings, this is also a movie should be considered.
Although the Three-Body Problem is said to be a science fiction film, and it does have an extremely excellent scientific and technological content that ordinary movies are far from catching up with, and it can even be said to be a fantasy work based on cutting-edge science, but the main line of the whole story is about the line of human nature.
Because of this, many people believe that this is a film that studies what human beings will do in a crisis one day.
In fact, except for some fans who are extremely keen on science fiction, most people still don't care much about the science fiction part of the movie. After all, in the entire movie, there is not much description of the cosmic war, and even the Trisolarans, as one of the two sides of the war, did not appear until the end. And the only war scenes, that is, the scenes of simple and crude water droplets destroying human warships, although these pictures seem to be full of effects, but everyone knows that they are definitely not the point - that is just to render an atmosphere of destruction, in fact, in the final analysis, it is an alien warship or an earth disaster, the difference is not too big.
The focus of the movie is more on human infighting. The human response in the face of crisis is the most important thing in the movie.
It is precisely because of this that the film has received unanimous praise from the media. In fact, from some words, it can already be seen that the media has praised this movie. At the end of the first part, the aliens showed an extremely important position in the movie, but until the end, they did not show their appearance, and many media thought that Levy was deliberately not letting the aliens show up in order to make money, but by the end of the second part, the aliens did not show up at all, but the media was full of praise.
Aliens without true faces, who are called the main identity by the three-body organization of the earth, use a water droplet, especially a water drop called 'Tears of the Virgin' by the earthlings, to directly destroy all the warships on the earth, such aliens have made many media think that this is an allusion to the doomsday judgment and a description of God.
In the movie, the identity of aliens is like God, affecting the earthlings, they are high and do not know the truth, but they have the ability to destroy the earth, such aliens are not enemies, but synonymous with disasters. In this regard, the media has done a lot of interpretation, so some people will say that this is a disaster movie, not a science fiction film.
The focus of disaster movies is naturally different from science fiction, because disaster movies often reflect people's reactions under disasters. Sometimes, even if there is only one actor, as long as death is constantly approaching, he can perform a good movie. And the combination of such themes and other themes can also produce good results: for example, the Saw series of movies is an organic combination of horror films and disaster movies: in the movie, the way the jigsaw tortures people is actually more about making people experience disasters.
Dressed in the cloak of science fiction, depicting the arrival of disaster, in the eyes of many people, this is the essence of this movie.
It's just that some people think that if you just treat the three-body problem as a disaster movie, it seems that it is still a little unobjective.
In general disaster films, even if they shoot disaster scenes, at most they reflect the selfishness of individual people, regardless of the overall situation, and compete with each other. However, in this movie, this kind of selfishness, regardless of the overall situation, has risen to the level of all mankind and even the whole universe. There are a few other people's practices in the face of disasters, but more often than not, they reflect the practices of the larger human community.
Even at the most critical juncture, human beings already hate each other, calculate each other, and are suspicious of each other. Hatred between cultures, calculations between nations, and even husbands and wives are deceiving each other. These characters, their identities are different from others, they are not only struggling survivors, but also politicians of various countries. And the various practices of these politicians under the disaster have naturally been interpreted by people to have a deep meaning.
"Levy used to make political films, and he couldn't have been completely ignorant of political films. In the Three-Body Problem movie, the receiver at the beginning of the Three-Body Problem World is a reflection of the characters in the eavesdropping storm, and the portrayal of politicians in this movie is actually the focus of the movie. ”
After the release of the movie, many media outlets were also discussing what kind of political metaphors there are in this movie. Do you have a deeper idea about the setting of the four wall-facers, the ideas and arrangements of their respective plans, their fates and endings? These are also things that people are discussing.
Different people are always able to see different things in a movie. The average movie fan sees technological innovation, avid movie fans see science fantasy, the sad sees the picture of humanity before the end of the world, and the conspiracy theorists see politics in it - the connotation of this movie is being interpreted in various ways, and everyone wants to get out of it what Levy really wants to say.
However, there is at least one thing that no one disputes now: the film was very successful, and this is beyond question. (To be continued......)
