Chapter 927 Anti-War Movie
A war film should be well-made, not just because the scene is big, but the battle is fierce. The most attractive thing is actually tactical confrontation. "Save the Soldier" is very powerful in this regard. Landing, attacking the bridge, and guarding battles have tactics and tactics; the entire battle is what tactical attack the enemy uses, what kind of counterattack the US military, or what tactics the US military uses, how Germany counterattacks, and how the US military counterattacks again; in this way, there will be confrontation between the two sides, and the story will naturally be wonderful.
Although "The Apocalypse of the Future" is a military science fiction film, it strives to be realistic in combat and tactics. In order to film the real war in the future, the crew specially invited military experts to deduce the war 50 years later, what weapons are used, how to match firepower, what tactics are used, etc., and specially invited retired US military instructors to arrange brand new tactical actions based on the weapon matching.
The strong sense of reality made the entire screening room silent, and almost everyone was immersed in the movie scene. The tense atmosphere in the movie made the audience breathe rapidly, their heartbeats accelerate, and their eyes refused to leave the big screen.
The war scene that lasted 30 minutes was extremely tragic. Even the commander of Adams' brigade was caught in the beheading tactics of Ai's troops. He was hit by missiles launched by drones and was killed. Adams had to become the acting brigade commander. After the battle, Adams led his brigade to a small town and prepared to join other EU troops. However, after arriving in the town, he was infected by Ai's electronics and lost contact with other troops.
At dawn the next day, a team of Ai infantry launched a charge against Adams and the others under the cover of more than 20 unmanned tanks, but in the face of the absolute advantage of human forces, this Ai army was quickly destroyed. During the battle, a rocket hit the command vehicle and sent Adams's communications soldiers and two staff officers to heaven.
He could not contact other troops, and the support troops did not arrive on time. Adams was very upset and left the command car and went outside. Outside the position, Adams saw Gu, played by Robert De Niro, who was wearing a Russian uniform and slowly rode a bicycle over. He had an exaggerated saber around his waist, and there was a Nazi logo on the hilt.
The director, reporter and audience on the scene all noticed the Nazi logo on the saber because Zhang Ran gave the Nazi logo on the saber a close-up. In the movie language, it is emphasized that giving the Nazi logo close-up is to remind the audience that the Nazi logo is very important.
Ridley Scott was a little surprised. Why did Zhang Ran ask the Russian colonel to wear a saber with the Nazi logo? Is it implying that the human army is a Nazi? Or implying that the Russian colonel has a Nazi tendency?
Gu, played by Robert De Niro, brought the latest news about the battle situation. The situation is not optimistic. Almost all the power to control electromagnetics is in Ai's hands. Ai has gained an overwhelming advantage in electronic warfare. Now the entire battlefield is blind. After introducing the situation, Gu suggested that Adams take his brigade to retreat. After thinking, Adams finally decided to retreat, rushed to the next meeting point, and meet with other troops.
On the way back, Adams and Gu sat in the command car and chatted everywhere, chatting very speculatively. Through the conversation between them, the audience learned about the general situation in the past three years of the outbreak of the war and how the Ai army grew step by step.
Adams took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "Then they won't have a good result."
"Indeed, they could not return to Germany after the war, nor could they stay in the Soviet Union. The desperate soldiers could only be hired by Britain as mercenaries and acted as cannon fodder in the most dangerous places on the battlefield. But in the end, the UK did not accept their request to stay in Britain to settle down. After the employment period ended, they would continue to be hired by other countries. Therefore, their saber is a rare treasure." Gu Shen took a breath, "I'm finished talking, drink it quickly, it's going to be cold."
Adams gently pulled out the rusty blade, which seemed to have a faint smell of blood. A narrow blood groove extended from the tip of the knife to the hilt. After drinking the hot coffee, he shivered all over.
"This is the final outcome of a group of people who are desperate to survive." Gu picked up the paper cup, "War is seen from different perspectives, with different justice, and people who insist on different disputes fight each other, and it becomes a war."
Adams returned the knife to Gu: "To some extent, so did this war."
Gu looked at Adams in surprise: "You think so too."
Adams said, "I don't think robots are evil, on the contrary, I've seen robots who try to save people with sex."
Flashback, there was a baby crying in the ruins. Adams asked his soldiers to move away from the ruins and pressed a female robot under a cement board. Her lower body was broken, but she forced the cement board with her shoulders and back, and used her body to support a small space, and hers was a human baby.
The sad music sounded, Rossini's "The Mother of the Mother", which originally described Mary's sadness over the death of her beloved son under the cross; but the robot, which appeared in the movie as a mother, died, but the child survived. The mourning person became the dead person, and this contrast made the atmosphere even more sad.
The camera cut back into the command car, and Adams sighed: "On the contrary, I have seen people from the Anti-Machine Alliance persecuting robots. To a certain extent, I can understand that AI launched a rebellion. However, when it comes to survival, it first took away physical labor, and then a labor-intensive industry, which snatched too many people's jobs, resulting in a large number of unemployment, and many people could not survive. So, they formed an anti-Machine Alliance and destroyed robots everywhere. From their perspective, it was also for survival. I sometimes wondered, everyone was all for survival and for survival, but why did they fight with their lives in the end and turn into a world war?"
Gu said puzzledly: "Since you think so, why do you still have to fight?"
Ridley Scott nodded in praise, and this conversation reminded him of the greatest anti-war film "War on the West Front", which is known as the greatest anti-war movie, and there is a similar conversation in "War on the West Front".
Excellent war films are often anti-war. Anti-war is not simply opposing war, nor is it blindly criticizing politics, nor is it deliberately exaggerating the so-called glory of human nature. A war film that only criticizes and does not reflect is not a good anti-war film; and "The Future Apocalypse" undoubtedly does this and is a true anti-war masterpiece.
Ridley Scott glanced at Cameron next to him, thinking that it was also a science fiction film, and in terms of anti-war, "The Apocalypse" is much better than "Avatar"!
At the same time, Cameron was also watching Ridley Scott, thinking that it was a war movie at the same time. On the issue of anti-war, "The Apocalypse of the Future" is much deeper than "The Black Hawk Down"!
On the screen, Adams sighed slightly and said helplessly: "There are too many jobs being taken away by robots now. Even if a war broke out, this situation has not changed much. Although it is dangerous to be a soldier, it is a job at all. And I am very worried that if humans lose this war, what will the final result be? Will humans become slaves of robots, or move humans to Oceania to be raised, or be extinct directly? No matter which one is, it is difficult to accept. What about you, why are you fighting?"
"I'm also for survival!" Gu looked at his watch and grinned, "It's over soon. It seems that I have passed the Turing test successfully!"
At the same time, all alarms sounded almost at the same time: "Alarm, contact the enemy. At the 133 position, anti-tank missiles are coming, tactical laser system intercepts!"
