In order to give birth to his wife Mary, a son and a daughter, I really couldn't stand Ray's idle and irresponsible attitude towards life and finally parted ways with him.

Different from the past, the sky was suddenly overcast, and several flashes of lightning repeatedly hit the street, as if something strange was about to happen. Ferrer noticed that lightning was a bit unusual, but he didn't know that a disaster in conan the destroyer was coming. Suddenly, a crashed alien chariot jumped out of the road, and the town was in a mess. At a critical moment, Lei, who usually lacks a sense of responsibility, suddenly showed the instinct of a father.

When the whole world was caught in the panic that the alien monster army attacked the earth on a large scale, they hid in a farmhouse on the hillside, and a mysterious man took them to the basement of the old house, but unexpectedly, aliens were not the only threat they faced ...

◇ Selling point: a magnum opus of the new millennium

In p>1898, H·G· Wells wrote the first sci-fi about alien creatures attacking the earth. In 1938, orson welles, who was later praised as a genius with Citizen Kane, adapted a novel on the radio and recorded it as a program, just like the real broadcast made the whole city stir, and millions of people trembled and cried with fear and fled their homes. Even with this lesson, when the novel was made into a movie in 1953, many viewers could not distinguish between reality and illusion, and were hard hit by this feeling of eschatology. The novel was written during the expansion of British colonialism. Wells' radio program was recorded on the eve of the United States being involved in the Second World War. The 1953 film version was shot during the Cold War. Just like the previous version of World War, Spielberg's film is also a shadow derivative of September 11th. However, although the film may have metaphors, as a powerful blockbuster in the summer, it is inevitable that it will do its utmost to scare people to get a good seat. It is said that Lao Si's purpose is to "scare the audience off their seats". Aliens attack the earth, and all mankind are facing disaster. This type of sci-fi film has already been filmed by Hollywood and can't be filmed any more. However, in World War, at least the following stereotypes are guaranteed not to appear: there are no obvious landmark buildings destroyed, there are no unnecessary attacks against new york City, there are no reporters who pretend to know what happened, politicians, scientists or other prominent figures are not allowed to play the leading role in the film, and there are no military figures pointing at each other with sticks. "War of the Worlds" is a story about an ordinary family facing the "most ferocious" aliens and panicking to the extreme.

◇ Comments: Unusual Alien Invasion

Since the fledgling Spielberg frightened the global audience with Jaws in 1975, as one of the greatest sci-fi directors in history, he has always enjoyed scaring people from time to time. As it turns out, these films have continuously created box office miracles. This time, he was infatuated with the theme of aliens since he was a child, and he rarely put his mind on the alien attack. Although deep down, Lao Si still thinks that if any life form is willing to come to the earth through time and space, the purpose is not to conquer but to explore, as in the era of E.T. and close encounters of the third kind, but since the audience likes to watch humans and aliens fight and suffer and seek some excitement, the most profitable director in history will certainly not let everyone down. Known as the "darkest science fiction film" of Lao Si, "World War" uses the "family card" of ordinary people, uses thousands of troops, and shows the crazy escape of human beings in the face of thousands of "blood-sucking tripods" attacks at the expense of a Boeing 747 and a thousand-ton ship. The photographer who used Schindler's List, the visual effects engineer of E.T., and the actors in World War, which is full of digital technology, are still the center of gravity. Needless to say, Tom Tom, who cooperated with Spielberg for the second time after Minority Report, both child stars who played his sons and daughters had participated in the hit thriller TV series Hijacking, which was produced by Lao Si, and the little girl was Dakota Fan Ning, the most popular child star in Hollywood at present. The face that scared Robert De Niro crazy in this "Hide and Seek" surprised countless big names, and the acting skills of genius indicated the rise of Ran Ran, the star of tomorrow! !

behind-the-scenes production

The War of the Worlds, written by H·G· Wells, a master of science fiction, was published in 1898. The novel tells the terrible experience of aliens invading the earth. This terrible story describing that the earth was attacked by aliens and the tiny human beings were as vulnerable as ants became a generation of literary classics. The novel is not only famous for its unconstrained imagination, but also for its accurate prediction of modern weapons. In 1938, the radio drama adapted from the novel caused panic in the United States, and then in 1953, the novel was put on the big screen for the first time. However, due to the limitations of shooting technology at that time, the film was unable to express itself. Today, the influence of "The War of the Worlds" has not diminished at all, and Spielberg has always been "bitter" about it. He said: "I think it's time for" War of the Worlds "to shock everyone, but this is not the lovely and kind alien story I used to shoot."
