Old Boys Game Reversal

The title of this film sounds quite alien, and it is estimated that it is a technology war or something! I know the pixel of the mobile phone camera. How does this cause a war? Please see Du Niang's explanation of the pixel:

pixel, Chinese full name is image element. By definition, a pixel refers to the basic primitive and its basic encoding of its grayscale. A pixel is the basic unit that constitutes a digital image, and it is usually expressed in units of PPI (pixels per inch) to represent the size of the image resolution. Just like photographic photos, digital images also have continuous shades of tones. If we magnify the image several times, we will find that these continuous tones are actually composed of many small square points with similar colors. These small square points constitute the image. The smallest unit - pixel. This smallest graphic unit is usually displayed as a single colored dot on the screen. The higher the pixel, the richer the color palette it has, and the more realistic the color can be expressed.

In fact, as a technology savvy I still don't quite understand this concept. After watching the film, I can understand it as decomposing an object into small molecular units, which is "finely broken" in Northeastern dialect.

The story is like this: In 1982, the popular video game player held a World Video Game Contest, the protagonist of the story, Sam Brenner and "The Invincible Torch" Eddie Plant competed for the final glory. The entry video will follow the satellite set up to become a permanent record through space. Eddie the dwarf won the championship, and Sam only won the runner-up. "Legendary boy" Ludlow Nimmon and the fat little Cooper who has always admired and supported Sam predicted that Sam would be admitted to MIT and contribute to the world's technology in the future.

Time has changed, Cooper has become a white-eyed president with low popular support, "Legend Boy" is still solving the mysteries of the world, Sam has become a home appliance installer, and Eddie is in prison. A war in Guam caused panic in the world. It turned out that the aliens mistakenly believed that the video carried by the satellite was that the earth was declaring war on them. Therefore, pixel aliens parasitized various classic arcade games on the earth. The characters begin to attack the people of the earth, and everything on the earth will be turned into pixels and destroyed after being attacked. Little Rabbit discovers that the wonders of the world are especially cared for by aliens, and the collapse of the Taj Mahal directly destroyed a beautiful marriage proposal!

The disaster brought the four people together again, facing the panic of the marines and the public who questioned their abilities, they must win the game to win back the right to survive on the earth, so, "Home Alone" director Chris ·Columbus led a group of old boys who were still childish in their hearts to stage a hilarious and thrilling war scene, realizing the great reversal of life to save the earth.

In the past, aliens invaded the earth in American blockbusters, often using dark elements such as robots, big monsters, mutants, and biological and chemical weapons. They were full of icy fantasy of abuse, making the future world seem so unstable and lack of order. The aliens here did not intend to challenge the earth, because misunderstandings caused disputes, but they quite abide by the rules of the game, and they are very particular about betting and admitting defeat! For games, I have only played Tetris, Super Mario and the like, don't be photographed! I don’t know anything about the golden-yellow Pac-Man with its big mouth, the splitting centipede, and the brute-force Donkey Kong throwing buckets, but I can really feel a strong retro nostalgic atmosphere. Awaken the memories of arcade game lovers in the 80s and 90s!

Watching Toru Iwatani, the father of Pac-Man, preaching warmly, but his arm was bitten off by the child he created, Sam was stunned when he hit Pac-Man with his wit and brought back the important game.

In the tiebreaker, it is the Donkey Kong game level, and Sam thinks he has lost once and has no confidence to defeat it, but exposes the fact that the "Invincible Human Torch" cheated when he was a child. Sam is the real world champion, and his confidence index explodes. Killed Donkey Kong with a big hammer. If he had won the world championship at that time, maybe his life path would have been different!

It's a pity that the heroine wiped out the Smurfs during the struggle, and she said she didn't want others to know about it!

Forgot to tell you, there are Easter eggs at the end!

    The pixel is actually quite cute, I want to keep one

    A fun movie only for a certain generation, the plot is simple and straightforward, and the protagonist has a halo. It's a lot more interesting to look at it in conjunction with the three-body, Adventists on Earth that caused aliens to launch pixel foils at Earth.
