The hottest New Year's films in China this year are not festive, but most of the films are shrouded in the wandering earth of sadness and mist.Although the theme of the doomsday crisis was a bit dark, it was not hindered that a large number of Chinese people bought tickets during the Spring Festival. As of the box office, the film box office had exceeded 2.4 billion yuan (about S $ 480 million) yesterday.

This year's Spring Festival, I watched the fantasy style and New Year's film starring Jackie Chan in Singapore. Pu Songling was so dull. After returning to Beijing, I regretted buying tickets to watch the wandering earth.Chinese film: It is wearing a Hollywood -style stunt coat, but it tells the space adventure story of the Chinese perspective; on the surface, it depicts the desolate scene of the last days, but it contains positive positive energy in the bones.

As a complex of science fiction and disaster films, the wandering earth tells the story of bringing the earth to the solar system for self -rescue. The description of the main body and angle from the Chinese team.National pride, this may be the key element of the mainstream New Year films.

It is no exaggeration to say that the wandering earth has set off a carnival in China.In addition to the box office, the film has also stimulated a huge breakthrough in Chinese domestic science fiction films, and even a large number of discussions between Chinese aerospace development and the rise of national strength.Some audiences even described that the wandering planet diluted the haze and obscurity of the Sino -US trade war. In the difficult period of the Sino -US game, it did provide a dose of strong needles for the audience.

Some netizens have so on. The plot of the film and the Chinese and American games are seated: There is no trace of American astronauts in the film, which deliberately squeeze American elements; villain space robot MOSS requires abandonment of the earth, a metaphor for the United States to abandon international rules; playing Chinese astronauts;Wu Jing and Russian teammates to save the earth together are the reproduction of the honeymoon period of China -Russia relations.

Although the above is the excessive interpretation of Tianma, it is true that over the past half of the Sino -US trade war, some shortcomings in China ’s science and technology strength have been exposed, and the development of Chinese science and technology has been surrounded internationally.At this node, a film about the Chinese aerospace team led to save the Earth's action, presumably it can still play a lot of spiritual boosting role.

In the past week, the wandering earth has caused a lot of discussions about Chinese science fiction films until the beginning of the sky, not only a breakthrough in film technology, but also the spread of Chinese characteristics such as the fate community and the spirit of collectivism.Many Chinese media analysis is very different from the personal heroism advertised as American science fiction.

But I think that even if the spirit and form of saving the earth are different, the ambitions and values of the great power and values of the wandering earth are always similar.At the end of the film, the climax of the film is impressive: the last moment of the earth is about to collide with Jupiter, the Chinese rescue team girls are emotionally called to work hard from all walks of life to not give up, and many national teams were called back to continue to save work.

Global mobilization is a must, but the Chinese rescue team's role of leading, advocating, and responsible role positioning is still clear. It may be one of the keys to resonance with the audience.

Compared with the videos of the great country that touted nationalism in my country, the wandering earth is more exquisite and euphemistic, but there are many right and wrong movies, and there are no lack of public opinion on the wandering earth plot, the scientific principles, and the ideological burden of ideology.Evergreen criticism.However, it is undeniable that this is a movie with high special effects technology and high entertainment, and it is not easy to make films that fit the main theme and watch in an increasingly tightening environment.

The Spring Festival is coming soon. After the fantasy space of the cinema, after the carnival of the wandering earth, China and the United States will also conduct another round of high -level consultations in Beijing this week.The tone of global cooperation has also played a role in boosting politics in the film. However, the cooperation between China and countries has various severe problems to be solved in reality. All parties are watching and seeing. It is difficult to say that it will save the earth.
