In the past few days when the epidemic has rebounded, it is almost impossible to expect diehards like Lao Bai, who resolutely implement the "Nine Yin Manual", to go to a "big sheepfold" like a movie theater to receive a positive package. prostitutes the "gun version" of Avatar at home for free, which is the kind of consumption experience that one knows clearly is not worth promoting, but is still very accustomed to. So, is Avatar 2 a popcorn movie ? Audiences, is it worth stepping on? Today Bai Yu will have a good chat with you.
1. The plot that leaked everywhere
After six years of hard work, James Cameron made a strong return with "Avatar 2". However, "American science fiction", which has always led the global trend, has leaks in the main plot.
"Avatar 2" continues the plot of the first part. The male protagonist Jack becomes a Na'vi man with earth genes. As the young patriarch of the Omaticaya tribe died in battle, the male protagonist successfully took over and got married to the female protagonist Neytiri.
After getting married, the male protagonist’s family gave birth to three mixed-race children and adopted a daughter. The family was happy.
By coincidence, the child "Spider" who is very close to the male protagonist's family and left behind by humans on Pandora is the child of Colonel Miles, the first big boss.
The male protagonist Jack leads the tribe in the form of a "military team behind enemy lines", lying on the train, firing machine guns, ambushing everywhere, and frightening the "sky people" who are expanding everywhere.
Under the sparrow war and guerrilla warfare of the Avatar people, the Omaticaya tribe gathered many human prisoners of war, exchanged shotguns for cannons, and the technology tree was directly filled up.
In order to eliminate the serious problem of the male protagonist Jack, the female general of the base decided to implement a "decapitation operation." She recruited a group of "pseudo-Avatars" from Earth, namely the villain of the first film, Colonel Miles Coolidge. This time he not only retained the combat experience and memories of his previous life, but even possessed a blue Avatar body.
Miles wears Avatar's sheep's clothing, so naturally he will not be rejected by the goddess "Eva". This "night raid team" penetrated near Hallelujah Mountain and directly captured several of the male protagonist's children. Under the halo of the male protagonist and the couple,
completed a wave of counterattacks and successfully rescued his child.
Coincidentally, Colonel Miles also rescued his human child .
The plot advanced to this point. The male protagonist suddenly had a brain short-circuit and made a decision that went against his ancestors: He would step down as the patriarch and take his wife and children out to seek asylum.
Such a bizarre plot is better compared to the real-life magical operation: this is equivalent to the raging Russia-Ukraine war. Trump and Biden suddenly resigned as president of the United States and went to the EU to seek asylum and ask for help. Such a honey operation as
really cannot be summed up by saying "people are stupid and have a lot of money".
2. Beautiful bay, cruel truth
Compared with the grand narrative of the first film, the layout of " Avatar 2 Water Path " has been significantly reduced. The struggle between two planets and two civilizations is directly reduced to the personal grudges of two families.
The blue jungle avatar family arrived at the green ocean avatar tribe. This Mekaina tribe, located "on the other side of the mountain and on the other side of the sea", is transparent, open and clear. shows us the other side of the Pandora planet that is as flexible as water and turbulent.
In the 30-minute underwater world in the second act, a large wave of colorful and familiar marine creatures swim past the audience. The docile water-riding beast Iru, the amphibious wing shark, the huge Tukun, and avatars of different skin colors dance in the ocean.
All this looks so harmonious, happy, and beautiful. The interaction between man and nature allows the audience to feel the beauty of life and inner balance.
All this seems to indicate that this will be the Avatar version of "Dolphin Cove".
The 6-man team led by Colonel Miles took control of the "Oceanologist" Kun fishing group without firing a shot.
The settings of the map Kun are smarter than humans. Their neural network is much larger than humans, with richer emotions, and even have their own thoughts, logic, music and philosophy. They can communicate with Avatar in sign language, connect memories through braids, and share spiritual memories with each other.
It is precisely because of the characteristics of Tu Kun that it has caused crazy hunting from humans. The golden essence in their brains can greatly delay aging, and a small can can be sold for tens of millions.
Seeing this, Lao Bai couldn't help but remember the real documentary "Dolphin Bay" that reflected the Japanese creating a bloody ocean. The Kun Catching Group was the same as the Japanese Taidi Town dolphin massacre. The Kun Catching Team fired a locator at Kun's weak parts, used underwater sonic bombs to interfere with their hearing, and finally shot a buoyant airbag to force Kun out of the sea.
This shocking clip and the little Tukun's wailing voice surrounding his mother undoubtedly deeply touched the hearts of the audience.
The unshaven and wilted crew member of the Kun who saw Tu Kun immediately became refreshed and trained. The seamless cooperation and scientific and meticulous hunting procedures made "Avatar 2" a gorgeous and cruel whaling show.
After humans killed the huge Tukun, they only took out a small can of essence, just like the Japanese dolphins, just to get a small piece of shark fin.
I believe that everyone who sees such a scene will shout in their hearts: Stop hunting and give them freedom. We would rather see them swim freely in their own seas than place them on a meal plate.
3. Avatar's reflection
In the last scene of the film, the male protagonist's family leads the old and young men of the ocean clan to join forces, and the scene of using the advantage of the terrain to beat the water dog is exactly the same as the setting in the first part.
Colonel Miles made great efforts, crossed the stars, invaded in a small way, and pursued relentlessly to find Jack but cause and effect. It is basically the second rehearsal of "humans are invading and ethnic groups are resisting".
Many commentators have pointed out that the plot is old-fashioned and the characters are flat, full of cheap and outdated self-touching. Some people even joked: was to revisit the story of "Avatar 1" in the first hour, and the second hour was to show off my underwater 3D technology; in the third hour, I once made a movie called "Titanic".
Such evaluations are of course very unobjective. To be fair, "Avatar 1" emerged six years ago, directly defining what is a "universal value" movie. In the style of the film, the Chinese saw the "ideology of unity between man and nature", the Europeans and Americans saw the " binary opposition ", some saw the United States massacre of Indians, and some saw the indigenous people resisting the invasion of modern civilization.
settings like this we have long smelled the familiar smell in " Ape Tarzan " and " Dancing with Wolves ". A person from a developed civilization was discouraged by his own life. Instead, after contacting the primitive tribe, he fell in love with the life here, and finally held hands with the tribe girl and moved towards nature and harmony.
This kind of Hollywood has been cooked for many years, changing the soup but not changing the medicine, it is simply a perfect fit and a textbook-like political correctness.
The big villain infiltrated the enemy camp and carried out a beheading operation, and the military strike strategy was introduced in advance. I believe everyone knows who the government and which phenomenon is alluded to.
The occupation, expulsion, resources, business opportunities that are flooded in the movie, the Blue-skinned Monkey, do you think of oil, colonies, East India Company, and unequal treaties? This film, which combines family, love, friendship and heroism, can study and integrate cultural and different national spiritual needs from all over the world. proves the Americans' grand strategic layout and focuses on global cultural output. There is always a conflict between the "deep" and "good-looking" movies. They are fighting against science and selling modernity while fighting against modernity.
"Avatar" seems to be a science fiction film, but it is actually an old-fashioned western film. In the final analysis, it is a commercial film to make money. For movies like
, I still choose the free version, which is blurry and happy.
