Gorgeous thinking under a simple business appearance

Appreciating the film again after a lapse of twelve years, I really feel the classics of the film.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is classic.
First of all, this is a commercial film. But it overcomes the evil of mediocre ideological connotation in commercial films. The protagonist has been abandoned by the organization twice. The first time was abandoned by the imperial military organization that had served for more than 20 years and was selected and trained from birth to serve for it. Although the protagonist has established countless military exploits during his service, he was born to death, but because the new type of soldiers developed by the organization is far better than their generation in physical ability, they were eliminated tragically. Even without asking for life or death, they are dumped on the garbage planet like garbage. This is the cruelest trampling and insult to human nature. For the second time, the taciturn expressions formed due to years of military training were eventually misunderstood and abandoned by the refugee society on the garbage planet. If the first time there was only pain and unwillingness in his inner world, then the second time abandonment brought to the protagonist is hesitation, desolation, and despair of knowing what to do.
The cruel military training and military actions brought about the suppression of the good and emotional aspects of human nature, which made the protagonist feel strange and moved when he first came into contact with the real human society. This was the first time the protagonist was embraced by a kind woman His whole body trembles and reveals itself. This lens language appears mature and full of tension.
Obviously, when he was abandoned for the second time and was alone on a desolate planet, the tears in his eyes fell uncontrollably, making the protagonist feel surprised and puzzled. Such detailed grasp appropriately expresses the drastic changes in the protagonist's emotional world. This also laid a logical foreshadowing for what he did later.
At the same time, the film also explores the propositions of wisdom and force, experience and skills.
In short, the application of the lens language in this film has reached the realm of perfection. At the same time, the clear and insightful storytelling, the delicate expression of the inner world of the characters, the mastery of small details and big scenes, can be called the best in Hollywood science fiction films.
At least in recent years, among the science fiction movies, there are only a handful of masterpieces that can be compared.
