Moana, many people may not understand its deep meaning. As a three-body fan, I'm here to tell you about it.

Ostensibly, the film is about a Hawaiian tribe that settles for the status quo, is helpless when a crisis hits, and is ultimately rescued by the ever-moving little princess Moana. In fact, if you put this scale on the entire human race, it talks about human beings trapped in the earth, and resources will be exhausted one day. And the only way out has been made clear: master controllable nuclear fusion, fly out of the earth, and become a starship civilization. Every symbol in the movie has an exact counterpart in the Three-Body Problem.

The Hawaiian tribes are humans. The island is the earth. Voyager is the starship civilization. These are pretty straightforward symbols, nothing to say. So what do Maui and his hook represent? It is the current human beings and the oil-based conventional energy we rely on. Humans, like Maui, are powerful but often arrogant and stupid. We're as dependent on oil as Maui is on his hook, and without it, nothing can be accomplished for a thousand years. The big crab that took Maui's hook is a vested interest in the oil energy system. They pinched the lifeblood of human energy with pliers.

The magma monster Te Ka represents a new energy source that has not yet been successfully developed, that is, uncontrolled nuclear fusion, which is seen as the embodiment of disaster. Humans do not realize that to develop new energy, sacrifices must be made. They just regard nuclear fusion as a monstrous beast, and they just run away. It's like Maui doesn't have the confidence to challenge Te Ka again after he fails once.

The turning point of everything came to Moana. Only this brave little girl saw two things clearly: First, no matter how dangerous it was, she had to rush out and not be trapped on the island; second, only she finally realized that Te Ka and Te Fiti are two people! Te Fiti naturally represents a successful new energy source, namely controlled nuclear fusion. As long as human beings have the perseverance to break through the resistance to improve energy, they can always succeed in the end - Maui raised the hook to fight Te Ka, symbolizing the ultimate conflict between old and new energy. Te Ka becomes Te Fiti, breaking and standing, from uncontrollable to controllable energy.

At the moment when Te Fiti was resurrected, the spring flowers bloomed. Those who have seen the three-body process should have an impression of Zhang Beihai visiting Ding Yi when the controllable nuclear fusion was successfully developed: the excess geothermal heat caused flowers to bloom everywhere, when Zhang Beihai thought this When it was too wasteful of energy, Ding Yi said, "It's nothing. From now on, energy is not something that needs to be saved on the earth."

Having said that, Moana's role is clear. Of course she is Zhang Beihai. In the whole three-body trilogy, only he saw the way out for mankind: go out! In the process, he was firm in his belief. In order to ensure that the new energy promotes the future of the starship civilization, he could even assassinate the top scholars of chemical energy. This is completely consistent with Moana's philosophy. And Moana's grandmother is a very important character in the Three-Body Problem: Zhang Beihai's general father. When grandma took Moana to dance in the sunset, it actually heralded the end of mankind. The whole tribe is still deceiving themselves "let's try to fish in another direction", only Moana's grandma can see the direction of the human. She said to Moana, "Child, think more!"
