Film Critic: After watching the movie of The Battle of Tomorrow

is another boring weekend. After wandering around for a while, I decided to go to the cinema to watch the sci-fi drama " Tomorrow's Battle " that I have been wanting to watch recently. After all, the " Out of Control Player " I watched a few days ago has made me become more interested in science fiction movies!

After watching it, I felt that this movie did not give me the shock and emotion that "Out of Control Players" did. In fact, the plot setting of this movie is also very simple, that is, human beings in the future ask for help from human beings now, that is, modern human beings have to go back to the past and participate in war to fight against the fate of mankind's imminent extinction.

The science fiction special effects of this movie are first-rate, but the plot is relatively satisfactory. The main line of the plot is that the protagonist Dan is selected to be recruited to join the battle in the future. Under the influence of the protagonist's halo, he not only survived a catastrophe, but also completed the task of saving the world when he met his future grown-up daughter. Of course, saving the world is a necessary arrangement for the protagonist, and then the protagonist’s emotional drama is another necessary arrangement for earning extra points for the movie, otherwise, the movie will completely become a Hollywood popcorn movie!

The emotional theme drama of "Tomorrow's War" is still love, and the main line of this love is the love of father and daughter. When Dan was recruited to join the war in the future, data indicated that Dan would die in seven years. In the narrative of Dan’s future daughter, in the normal process of time and space, Dan’s later life was in a mess. Because his career was unsatisfactory, he became dissatisfied with life later, and later divorced his wife, and his favorite The daughter also left him to live with his mother. In the end, Dan died in a depressed car accident. However, when Dan was recruited to enter the war in the future, after he met his future daughter was threatened and desperately protected her, he moved his future daughter, and when his daughter told Dan about his future life, he experienced After this battle of tomorrow, I think Dan's fate will inevitably change.

I remember some time ago, after reading the Nobel Prize-winning masterpiece "The Adventures of Augie March", I came to the conclusion that a person’s destiny will often live in the future under the influence of his own personality. After multiple choices of stacking in the crossroads,Eventually, he will gradually move towards his inevitable destiny. But the philosophy of life reflected in this movie is completely opposite to it, and it is also completely opposite to my conclusion, that is, people can adjust their mentality when they choose at the crossroads of their lives, and then change their own destiny (I Perhaps Dan in normal time and space has not adjusted his mentality, and slowly walked away from his daughter in the unsatisfactory life of life. Dan loved his daughter at first, and this from Dan jumped to seeing her daughter thirty years later. You can know if you are in trouble and desperately save his daughter).

At the end of the movie, Dan wiped out the last monster in this world, which means that he changed the fate of the world and saved human beings from being annihilated by monsters. At the same time, he also changed himself. fate. If his mentality has always been positive, if he can adjust his mentality after setbacks in his career, then I think he will definitely not divorce his wife later, separate from his beloved daughter, and let her daughter Feeling that he was abandoned by him, he is very likely not to have that car accident. According to this analysis, the destiny of a person is ultimately in his own hands (think of it this way, the fatalism from the previous reading of "The Adventures of Augie March" seems to be indeed questionable).

In addition, talk about the paradox of this movie, which is also a time-space paradox. As mentioned in the movie, the theme of the movie is that people in the present world go to the future to participate in war to save the fate of mankind, and on such a large scale the world is changed by going to the future time and space (many combatants go to the future and die), such a science fiction plot is There are big loopholes. Although the plot sets the time and space jump to be thirty years, the people who choose to participate in the war are all those who will die within the next thirty years (that is, there will be no two selves in the same time and space). However, if many people in this world die because they go to the future to join the war, it will inevitably affect the future population structure. Many things that should happen in the future will not happen. This is obviously illogical. In a sense, history should be unique. What has happened is what has happened and cannot be changed. In the past, sci-fi movies generally used a large number of esoteric and inexplicable scientific theories when they involved changes in the world due to time and space. To fill the loopholes (such as the classic science fiction movie "Interstellar"), and try not to change the present world as history relative to the future. But the film seems to completely let go of its rigor in this regard.

Of course, as a Hollywood blockbuster, the sci-fi effect is absolutely top-notch. If you want to take a break in the movie theater, don’t worry too much about it. After all, it’s impossible for all movies to be as classic as "Interstellar", and the process of watching it does have a pretty shocking effect, compared to what you have seen before. For a simple popcorn movie like " raging behemoth", the plot of "Tomorrow's War" is also ok. Therefore, my evaluation of this movie is quite satisfactory.

Generally speaking, those who like science fiction movies can still go and watch them if they are interested.
