refreshing

I haven't seen such a refreshing movie for a long time. The story is actually not complicated, but from the creative application to the production, it is a lot of effort. In addition, the plot and suspense are almost fully promoted, and it has to be enjoyable!
In the film, Wikus, an ordinary bureaucrat who was full of contempt and contempt for aliens in his original words and faithfully implemented government orders, his role changes caused by mutation made him truly understand aliens and truly develop the brilliance of human nature. But this process is not so much a sublimation of self-knowledge, but rather a sinful social machine and an ugly modern civilization that forced him to recognize discrimination, injustice, darkness and other human phenomena in the process of decisive transformation. Fortunately, his individual struggles were largely successful, based on extremely small probabilities. When the gigantic UFO rose up, I was instantly delighted that the poor alien could finally get rid of the claws of the earthlings.
Understanding is difficult, and communication is even more difficult. When we know aliens based on the logic of seeing and believing, it is obvious that the market shots of aliens living on Earth can easily fool us into thinking that they are filthy and low-minded, but when we see those weapons and The power of the ships and the beliefs they hold make them realize the high wisdom and nobility they possess. The sincerity and trust between Wikus and the aliens were completely established almost at the moment of the final crisis.
By the way, that little alien is really smart and cute, and human children are much inferior to him.

    I like the style of pseudo-documentary very much. The first half is very good. The editing, performance, and rhythm are all controlled very accurately. The second half has more show elements. It feels like a mess, losing the pseudo-reality of the first half. The shocking power brought. The preaching in the second half also has a strong meaning, and the shots obviously impose the director's point of view, which does not match the overall style of the film.

    Even though it is a great science fiction film, but the plot is endlessly flawed, why don't the aliens directly kill the people on earth without high-end weapons?
