The director is boring, the studio has no seeds

The film is above the level, it is too conservative, especially the narrative style is extremely conservative.
Normal narrative simply doesn't fit the movie.
Every paragraph of the original involves Ender's growth. The movie can't be thrown away, but there is not enough time to put it all in, so the details can only be thrown away. So the movie seems too rushed. And when time is tight, the most anticipated space wars have also been compressed.
According to what I said, there is no need to retake the film. Get David Fincher to come and cut the whole film according to the model of "The Social Network". When it comes out with a neurotic main theme, this film is on fire.

Graff: He's down, why do you keep hitting him?
Flashback: Fight 1
Peter: You loser!
Flashback: Bangzuo beat
Graf quarrel with female instructors
and talk to Valenti: You influenced Peter
Andre: I want to quit.
Graff: I need him to grow into a real commander.
Pecha broke down during the exam.
With Graff: He's not ready yet.
Ender: Pecha! Call back your fleet! Pecha!
Mazerehan: You can never really be ready.
Ender woke up from his sleep.
(I know my arrangement is unreasonable, but that's roughly what I mean.)

Popular works can be approachable, but masterpieces only need to be B to sell. If the juvenile PI did not engage in those layers of metaphors, do you think it would still drive the movie-watching boom?
In fact, the original FANS can completely accept such a shooting method, but the film studio is afraid that ordinary audiences will not understand it and are unwilling.
Then there is no way.

    The protagonist's halo from beginning to end, is this science fiction or fantasy? Inexplicable compassion. Good thing you don't have to go to the cinema...

    The filming is really good, but it is judged by the standard of popcorn movies-the construction of the basic world view, the use of special effects and lenses are all wonderful; but it can be seen that the two-hour film cannot accommodate the breadth of the original book at all, so The story and rhythm are very fast, and many contents have not been unfolded. Although the ending has been sublimated a little, it still feels like an ordinary "human versus alien" theme framework.

Ender's Game quotes

  • Ender Wiggin: Sir, you made them hate me

    Colonel Graff: I told them you were the best, we need a Julius Caesar, a Napoleon.

    Major Gwen Anderson: We were hoping that would be you.

    Ender Wiggin: Caesar was assassinated by the people he trusted.

    Major Gwen Anderson: And Napoleon lost in the end.

    Colonel Graff: Not before he conquered the known world... dismissed!

  • Major Gwen Anderson: Why did you keep kicking him? You had already won the fight. Did you enjoy it?

    Ender Wiggin: No... knocking him down was the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones too, so that he'd leave me alone.
