By the end of the film, I let out a long yawn. It's not that the movie is so bad, it's just that the adaptation of the original novel's ghostly associations combines the elements of love, unity, learning from the scriptures and other blockbuster elements, and suddenly the most characteristic nutrient of "not playing cards according to the routine" in the original work is lost. . The well-known comedy sci-fi "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which is well-known in science fiction, does not have the specific description of hard science fiction in the book, but it can enjoy the thrilling experience of the edge of life and death in the humorous, philosophical thinking and humorous. Random and uninhibited. The movie version of "Galaxy" only supported less than one-third of the original work, and the performances of several actors were also very stiff, and the rest was only supported by the visual effects that now seem to be outdated.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" tells the story of a temporary team formed by the earth male Luthor, the earth female supporting role, the two-headed president of the galaxy, an alien, and a deeply depressed robot patient to set off for the legendary planet. It's not so tacky as the fictional few people in the film are brave enough to rescue their partners, it's better to say that a group of people has nowhere to go and can only follow the spacecraft. As shown in the film, all the stories take place in a very short period of time, and several cosmic creatures (here should also include robots created by more advanced life) have experienced being hunted, escaped, and been killed. The arduous process of chasing and escaping, and the ending finally lived up to expectations, neither forgetting to be funny nor giving up seriousness:
Arthur lay in bed and flipped through Ford's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Since he had to live in this space from now on, he felt that it was best to start getting to know this place. He stumbled upon such an entry by chance. It said: "The history of every major civilization in the galaxy goes through three clearly identifiable stages, survival, questioning and sophistry, or also known as how, why and where to go. For example, the first stage is characterized by the question: How can we eat? The second stage is: Why do we eat? The third stage becomes: Where do we go for lunch?" At this time, the spacecraft's The intercom system buzzed, and he stopped watching. "Hey, Earthling? Are you hungry, man?" Zaphod's voice came. "Oh, well, yes, I think I'm a little hungry," replied Arthur. "All right, man, bear with me a little longer," said Zaphod. "We'll have a nice meal at a restaurant soon, at the end of the universe."
Does it look familiar? It's a bit like the joke on Weibo "what to eat, where to eat, and with whom". What's even more shocking is that there is another joke also from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy":
"You know what," Arthur said, "at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, about to be thrown into outer space and suffocated to death I wish I had listened to my mother when I was young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."
In the movie version, a lot of changes have been made to make the story look more in line with the logic of "the lover gets married at the end + clearing the story = great unity ending". These changes make this absurd story artificially more organized and more organized. In line with people's viewing habits, although this may be the hatred of the original party, there are three changes that really enhance the visual effects experience and the creativity is also impressive:
1. The plots that a group of people accidentally arrived at the Sneeze Star, the Earth Girl was kidnapped by the Vogons, and the Earth's spare tire continued to be built are purely fictional. I can't deny that I like the setting of the Sneeze Star. People always try to unite when they satirize the religious foundation of "God Creationism": the star believes that life, the universe and everything is a big green worm that sneezes out. Yes, so their way of expressing respect and inheritance during the meeting is to sneeze collectively. When the bishop touched the snot of unknown existence with absolute grace, the hand I liked was like coughing and showing off too much.
2. The plot of the Earth Girl being kidnapped by the Vogons focuses on satirizing bureaucracy. If you don’t fill in the form and there is no process, you will not do anything. If you have a form and work rigidly, you can make a circle: when saving the Earth Girl who was sentenced to death, you must fill in countless numbers first. After filling out the form, people can be released in an instant, but when I found out that the president to be arrested was just around the corner, it was just one hour before lunch time. Sure enough, no matter which world we live in, "people take food as their heaven".
3. When making the Earth's spare tire, Adams dismissed it from the perspective of another highly intelligent civilized race in the book, just as the description of the Earth in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is only one word "harmless" , after fifteen years of research by the alien Ford, reluctantly added the modifier "basically harmless". The film shows the beauty of the earth, allowing engineers to continue to modify the beautiful nature. Although there is no lack of suspicion of controlling nature on the basis of science and technology, when I see advanced intelligent creatures in human form carefully crafting the magic of nature only When the feat is only possible, it is still full of all kinds of longings for the future technology.
The forced demolition incident is the most thorough spoof of the story: Arthur's house is going to be demolished and he can't resist, and the earth is also demolished because of the construction of a highway. It can be seen that force or any legitimate reason cannot force the destruction. Other people's home, no matter how small the number of people in this home is to the whole world. The movie restores the morning glory and the whale that suddenly appeared in the book, which still makes people happy. A whale who appeared out of nowhere and was still thinking about how he suddenly appeared before he started to communicate well with himself. From an altitude of hundreds of miles It fell to the ground, and after a lot of brainstorming, this picture can finally be seen on the screen, so that when I walked outside and habitually looked up at the blue sky, I found a white cloud that looked like a whale. fell." Is this Adams' poison?
That little lump in the lower right corner, haha
Originally, I looked like a tengu chasing a moon rabbit, but a buddy said it was a "dog totem", please accept my knee!
This one has the feeling of looking down from the sky, (*^__^*) Hee hee...
The robot with deep depression is so cute and cute
Different from Adams' hippie and funny style, in the Three-Body Problem, Da Liu has a profoundly pessimistic attitude towards people who have left the earth to live. The selection of people associated with the Mars immigration program has come to an end, and the next step is to train them to live on Mars. I can't imagine the heroic mood of opening up a new world for these people who have lost their hometown forever, but there is always an ominous premonition that when the day comes when they can be self-sufficient, the earth will be ready to tremble for it . There are legends that astronauts who enter space will experience hallucinations, auditory hallucinations and other miraculous and terrifying things, which are so serious that they must receive treatment after returning to Earth. It seems to be related to the origin of life or future predictions, which sounds like conspiracy theories. But how can the mystery of the universe be easily guessed by mortals?
