Special feature of 1905 film network On the screen, the spaceship hit the moon in mid-1902, and the ancestors touched Blackstone in 1968; In reality, the industrial revolution leads social progress, and the development of science and technology explores the mysteries of the universe. The imagination of light and shadow and the creation of reality have already set each other off. At present, how many screen fantasies have come true, and how many are still on the road.

Yan Peng, a special film critic and electronic knight, chatted together. When the future has come, science fiction has come into reality.

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation" changed by technology

The rapid development of science and technology has affected our lives in all aspects. Next, let’s take stock of the sci-fi designs in those classic sci-fi movies from the four aspects of "food, clothing, housing and transportation".

There is an invisibility cloak in science fiction movies, which can be invisible when put on, and this garment has been basically realized by optical refraction now; Sports shoes that can automatically tighten shoelaces in movies have also become available in kind.

In addition, there will be exoskeleton armor in many sci-fi movies. The most impressive thing for everyone is Iron Man’s armor, which is invulnerable and has its own repair function. It is full of sense of science and technology. People in the movies also wear mechanical armor to fight against alien species. In reality, some special occupations have begun to use this kind of exoskeleton armor, such as expeditions and rescue teams.

Food is the most important thing for people, and future food is indispensable in sci-fi imagination. However, in sci-fi movies, no effort has been made in the color and flavor of food, but it has gone to the other extreme.

The film "Green Food" envisages that people in the future have reached a state of extreme lack of resources, and people’s food is made by recycling some people after death. The film was shot in the 1970s, and it was set in 2022. Fortunately, there is no such crisis in human society at present.

In terms of housing, science fiction movies often show a kind of contradiction and conflict — — High-tech and low-life, such as the residence in the movie is like a small warehouse; In the park, tens of thousands of people are arranged in a crowded building.

In Cyberpunk’s sci-fi movies, for example, the future city in Hong Kong is modeled on the Kowloon walled city in Hong Kong. No matter how grand the future city is, people’s living space is relatively narrow, and future technology only solves the problem of efficiency.

The imagination of "traveling" in science fiction movies is relatively rich. There are maglev trains in the movies, and there are images about autonomous driving in "The Fifth Element". Even in domestic science fiction movies filmed as early as 1963, land flying cars and light rails appeared.

The flying cars shown in blade runner, Black Lightning and other films have been shown in the recent Beijing Auto Show, and now they are trying to do some short-term flying experiments, and science fiction movies are about to come into reality.

Science fiction movies interact with real life.

Although many sci-fi imaginations have come into our lives and become a reality, there are still many sci-fi movies whose imaginations seem to be somewhat meaningless, and even many of them are still behind the current development.

This is because our imagination is actually limited, and the science fiction writer Asimov once put forward the "elevator effect" to illustrate this phenomenon. The "elevator effect" refers to an imaginative person who lived in the 19th century. He may predict the appearance of skyscrapers in the future, but he can’t predict the elevator. Therefore, the operation mode of skyscrapers he predicted will be somewhat ridiculous to us today. This concept is intended to show that human beings will have limitations in predicting the future.

Science fiction is different from fantasy, it must be based on scientific fantasy. The reason why our current life can surpass the imagination of science fiction movies is that technology is developing too fast now, just as the development of artificial intelligence has left many science fiction movies about AI behind, so science fiction movies will be limited by the times.

In the past, some films involving space were often labeled as sci-fi, but some time ago, the Russian film "Challenge" completed the real shooting in space. This innovation is not only a technical breakthrough, but also a bold attempt in concept, which makes science fiction really come into reality.

Nowadays, our lives are more and more inspired and influenced by science fiction movies. In the future, we also expect the imagination of science fiction movies to be more unconstrained, thus promoting the development of our economic life, and hope that our lives can bring more inspiration to science fiction movies.　

Joseph Quinn

　　　　 On May 29th, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, Joseph Quinn ("Strange Tales") talked about joining the sequel to the classic historical drama Gladiator 2 directed by ridley scott to play the Roman emperor caracalla, and Connie Nielsen, the former star, will return to play lucila.

　　Paul Mesca plays Lucius, the son of Lucilla and Maximus, Barry Keohane plays Hertha, the Roman emperor, and Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. also plays.

　　Written by David Scappa (Money World and Napoleon) who has worked with Scott many times, the story still focuses on the cruel world of ancient Rome, which was released in North America on November 22, 2024.

　　Gladiator was released in 2000, directed by ridley scott and written by David Fransoni. Starring russell crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver reid, Derek Jacoby, Djimon Hounsou, Richard Harris and others. The plot tells the story that Commodus, the son of Marcus Aurelius, the last monarch of the five sages of the Roman Empire, seized the throne, while Maximus, the general, was framed by him and turned into a gladiator, and finally got revenge.

　　This film was nominated for the 12th Academy Award, and finally won five awards, including Best Film Award, Best Actor Award, Best Costume Design Award, Best Visual Effect Award and Best Sound Effect Award.

　　During the period of "Five Sages" in Roman Empire, the general Maximus made great achievements in the battle of conquering Germanic, which was valued and loved by the old emperor Marcus Aurelius. Aurelius decided to hand over the authority behind him to Maximus and then return to the Senate. Unexpectedly, when the ambitious prince Commodus learned about it, he killed his father and usurped the throne, and ordered that Maximus, who refused to be loyal to himself, be destroyed.

　　Maximus escaped Commodus, but all his family members were killed. He became a slave and was sent to the arena several times to become a gladiator for entertainment. Maximus gradually emerged with his heroic spirit and superb martial arts, and finally advanced to the Colosseum in Rome. He calmly commanded the weak to defeat the strong in the first battle of the Colosseum and got the opportunity to fight in front of the emperor. When Commodus saw that Maximus was not dead, he was horrified. He repeatedly arranged to get rid of him in the arena, but he never succeeded. On the contrary, Maximus became a force to be reckoned with.

　　At this time, Commodus’s brutal rule aroused widespread fear and dissatisfaction in the upper echelons of the empire. Commodus’s sister Lucilla plotted subversion with several elders, approached Maximus and reached an agreement to rescue him from the city and launch a mutiny. When Commodus heard the news, he threatened his nephew’s life, forced his sister to give up all the plans, and then ordered the guards to attack the gladiator hall at night, and Maximus was arrested.

　　Commodus, a traitor, wants to kill Maximus himself in the arena to regain his prestige. Maximus, who was assassinated first, fought bravely and eventually died with his enemy Commodus.

　　Gladiator refers to a fighter in the arena of ancient Rome. Its name comes from the sword used by the Roman legion. It is a special slave in the slave society of ancient Rome, usually a prisoner of war or other slaves who made mistakes. Their duty is to fight to the death in the arena and provide entertainment for people.

　　Although the ancient Romans loved gladiator sports, in fact, similar activities existed long before ancient Rome. The book of Daniel in the Old Testament mentions that Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den because he disobeyed Nebuchadnezzar’s orders and worshipped his own god instead of him. This habit of throwing prisoners into the lion pit is quite similar to the gladiator movement in ancient Rome.

　　The participants in the gladiator movement are not all gladiators. Many emperors in the Five Emperors era, including Hadrian, known as the "brave emperor", also participated in the simulated gladiator movement in the arena. In addition, Titus Flavius Domitianus was the first emperor to bring women and dwarfs into the arena. Similarly, people who become gladiators are not all slaves. A large proportion of Roman citizens will join voluntarily for fame or wealth, and there are also many professional soldiers who have served in the legion.

　　Spartacus, the most famous slave uprising in Roman history, was led by a gladiator. This rebellion indirectly led the Roman Empire to start legislation to improve the lives and rights of slaves. Before the formal abolition of slavery, the Roman Empire was the slave country with the most power in history.

　　In a sense, the existence of the arena also prompted the once brilliant ancient Roman Empire to quickly fall. The huge demand for gladiators is not a small human consumption for a slave country like the Roman Empire. This became a huge burden in the late imperial period. In addition to coping with the rising military expenditure, the imperial government must also maintain free competitive performances held by the state.

　　Finally, the prosperity of the gladiator movement ended with the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and the Eastern Roman Empire was keen on horse racing and other sports.

　　Gladiators should receive professional training according to their own characteristics and play various enemies of the Roman Empire. Therefore, the high training cost made the slave owners unwilling to be killed as slaves.

　　Therefore, according to the training results, gladiators will be shaped with different tactics and equipment, such as playing the net fighter with trident and fishing net as weapons, playing the Samnites, the old rivals of the Romans with heavy equipment, and the Thracians in the later period. Gladiators must undergo strict training in special schools before they can go to the arena to fight. There are several forms of fighting, one-on-one fighting, ten-to-ten fighting, and collective fighting with wild animals. They ended up living or dying, or they were released because of their outstanding performance to win. Their fate is very tragic.
