Jimmy has also read other Liu Cixin’s science fiction novel “Wandering Earth” since he was fascinated by “Three-body”. Today, I finally went to IMAX to watch this Lunar New Year champion. It really is true as a domestic science fiction movie. Very good, quite awesome. However, as a Virgo, I still have to put forward a lot of different opinions
The first is that there are quite a few differences between the original and the movie. In the original book, the Earth did not fall into Jupiter’s gravitational circle, but borrowed Jupiter’s gravitational slingshot to accelerate. (The same application was used in “Mars Rescue”. It is the use of the Earth as a gravitational slingshot. The greatest enemy of humanity in the original work is actually human beings. In the process of escaping, the sun did not turn into a red giant as expected, and the earth in the wandering launched a revolution. This wandering plan was When it became a scam, the result was quite tragic and strong. It was also the method used by Liu Cixin. It was the most terrible of the human shrimp and pig heart than the cruelty of nature. Then, because it is a Lunar New Year, the film still puts the concept of the family in an important position. In fact, in the original work, due to the great changes in the living environment, the relationship between the family and even people is no longer the social system of ours..
This adaptation of the film clearly pays tribute to the sci-fi masterpiece Arthur Clark’s “Space Roaming Quad”, such as the AI MOSS so-called “defection” in the pilot aircraft and the idea of igniting Jupiter. In addition to the charm of the work itself, the film’s word of mouth and the box office’s win-win situation are more special effects and visual success. It is a lot weaker in storytelling. I don’t feel the gap between the father and the son in the story. Liu Kai’s move to end his mother’s life early is not so deep at first, and logically it’s the most preferable. Liu Qi, who is growing up, should be able to understand it, and only three years old should feel that the mother is not so deep! However, the limited time of the film may not be able to insert more content. In addition, the handling in Shanghai is not very good, and it seems that it is not very comfortable
“Three-body” is a work by Liu Cixin’s Dacheng, because many concepts and settings in “Three-body” can be seen in other novels. The place where human beings go in “Wandering Earth” is where the three-body star is. The weaponized spherical lightning in “Spherical Lightning” used to be a plan of a quantum warrior. This “Wandering Earth” is so successful that there will be more Liu Cixin’s works being adapted. If you can reach the level of “Wandering Earth”, then it is good, of course, it is better to do better. Because it is our own IP production, all of them will certainly have a preference, but in fact we have a gap with Hollywood’s top sci-fi films, such as “gravity”, “interstellar crossing”, etc., those old classic stories That’s even more incomparable. In fact, science fiction is also a layer of skin that ultimately returns to humanistic philosophy and philosophical speculation. For example, the famous saying in “Three-body” “Lost humanity has lost a lot, lost the animal nature and lost everything!”
