Thought of this movie. . .

I have seen very few sci-fi movies. In my impression, the future world will always be highly developed, there will be robots and high-speed transportation, and people's living patterns will be completely different from the present. But the future of this film is a water world. Due to the melting of the polar ice blocks, the entire ground has become a vast ocean, and the people who are left do not know what the past was like, and the land has become a myth and a dream. Even if no one has seen it yet, they believe in the existence of land from the structure of their body that is not suitable for living in water, and they are struggling to find it. In the future water world, soil and paper are very rare things, which shows their ignorance and yearning for the entire natural world and human civilization in the past. The machines and boats people use are like piles of scrap metal. Only the "smoker" equipment is relatively advanced, especially the water motorcycles that can dive into the water.

In the future water world, human beings are almost degraded to the original primitive state - of course, the natural world degenerates faster, it is almost back to the ocean age when the original life has not been conceived - even in this case, the war has not stopped . There's always a gang of dark forces, somkers robbing, killing, and even sieging cities, for the little girl with the land's secrets on her. And these smokers, they also have their own dreams, which is dry land, but even if everyone has the same goal, people still can't unite and cooperate. War is probably so inevitable. When I took a history class in the past, when I talked about World War I and World War II, I always felt that it was a very distant past, when people's civilization was not as developed as it is today, so they would do such stupid things that hurt a good life. But one day, in the so-called new century, we saw the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Although it still feels very far away from us, this time, it is only geographically distant, not time, and geographical distance. , Under today's technology, how small is it. Perhaps peace is a dream farther than land.

In the end, the "bad guys" were wiped out and the land was found. But is this a happy ending? One day, someone else will find this place, invade it, occupy it, and it will be another war...

The future people in the film say that the ancestors did some stupid things that led to their drifting lives. I don't know if this film has an intention to arouse people's attention to environmental protection. If anything, I can only say that its educational significance is rather one-sided. I believe that the destruction of human beings will be more than just the deterioration of the living environment. Because there is a process of environmental deterioration, people will realize it and try their best to prevent it. On the contrary, war is more terrifying, war can destroy everything in an instant. In this film, it does not seem to tell people that war is a wrong existence. What is even more terrifying is how our heroic hero, in order to save the little girl, "the map that guides the land", destroyed the smoker's base "Tees". Yes, we can see that he is a hero, but on the "Tees", except for the crazy and perverted leader, the others are basically a group of civilians, a group of ordinary people with a dream of finding land.

Thinking of these, it is really easy to despair of human beings. However, I still believe that the future of human beings is not so pessimistic. Our civilization, continuous learning, and our emotional rationality will allow us to overcome ignorance and bloodshed, and strive to make everything better. We work together to create dry-land.

    Invincible sea view plus one point. The bug of the movie is that I have never seen even the paper before. Two pieces of torn paper can be exchanged for a dozen girls, and it leads to murder. Later, KEVIN opened the torn box and there was a pile of paper in it, and there was even a National Geographic magazine. Little girls can also draw on paper at will.

    A movie I've been wanting to see years ago. In my head, I always thought of a human who has evolved into fish gills. . . Oh, finally found it.
