This is an impressive sci-fi movie, both in terms of special effects, content and plot, which were epoch-making for the time.
From the beginning, the film is from three perspectives: Captain Shearer's family, the President's family and David's family. They had nothing to do with each other, but they were linked together because of this incident.
In terms of details, the restoration effect is similar to the various electronic systems that were disturbed in the 1950s. It is very good, and on a small abandoned airport in the Middle East, various fighter planes and personnel from the Middle East and Western Europe gathered. With the war tight, only a few aircraft per country survived. Because most countries are not like the United States, China and Russia with thousands of planes flying in the sky.
The director of the whole movie put a lot of thought into it, but at the same time, it was through these details that an enlarged "American Dream" was shown in front of everyone. As a certain president said: "Our military will always stand at the forefront to protect the people." At the same time, it symbolizes the unity of the 50 states in the United States to fight against foreign enemies. In the final battle of the film, we can see that from American F-18, Japanese F4F, British Sea Harrier
Fight on the same front. In the old airports in the Middle East, F-14s, F-16s, F-18s and MiG-29s from the British, French, Israeli, Saudi and other Western European and Middle Eastern countries with more or less ties to the United States were assembled. Mirage-3, "Typhoon" and other mashups. Russia's backup airport was clouded with rain, and two MiG-35s parked silently on the runway, waiting for news. And July 4, the Independence Day of the United States, has "appreciated" from this film to become the "Independence Day" of the people of the world, and also expressed the ambition of the United States to represent the world.
It makes me regret that the film still runs through the political ideology, so that there is no Chinese pilot in it.
In addition to the dense expression of American spirit, heroism and kinship, the first half of the film also shows the chaos of most people when an unknown disaster strikes. Mistrust, misunderstanding, the sanity of the minority and the un-prioritized fanatic. When the alien spaceship just arrived on earth, almost all the people looked at it blankly, then screamed and tried to escape. Only people in the White House, some soldiers, and civilians who understood the situation, such as David, kept their senses and did what they thought they should do. At the same time, the people in the White House did almost nothing, watching the president speak, trying to appease the hearts of the people, and looking forward to what the Navy and Air Force admirals could do. It was not until David, who was "internally related", came with the information he had discovered that he hurriedly evacuated.
As the winner of the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, this movie is also very worth watching. At the same time, we must understand that when a country's internal system and spirit are accepted, recognized and implemented by the world, this country is truly a great country.
