0Over the weekend, I watched two sci-fi movies: Netflix's "The Three-Body Problem" and "Dune 2."
"Dune 2" was visually stunning and definitely worth watching in the theater. Interestingly, 3D movies seem to have disappeared in recent years, and I've always found them a bit silly and uncomfortable to watch, especially with the subtitles in 3D. But this 2D movie still managed to have a powerful impact.
I find both of these sci-fi movies quite intriguing as they explore a common theme: the madness of humanity.
Or perhaps one is discussing the issue while the other goes further to seek a resolution.

In "The Three-Body Problem," I feel it's all about how insane humanity can be. The protagonist has lost faith in humanity and directly introduces a new variable (extraterrestrial beings) that will inevitably bring change, whether for better or worse. The author assumes that human self-reflection will never change our inherent flaws. Only by introducing an external variable can there be a glimmer of hope for change.
On the other hand, "Dune" delves into topics of social order and religious beliefs. It may seem like a story set in a cosmic perspective, but in reality, it tackles the theme of social order. It doesn't escape human thinking, and perhaps the logic of these underlying power dynamics is universal, transcending any corner of the universe.
It's not about who has a loftier intention or a lower one, but rather, I find it fascinating that both movies are discussing something interconnected, albeit from different perspectives.

周末两天看了两个科幻，一个是奈飞的《三体》还有一个是《沙丘2》。
《沙丘2》在视觉上非常震撼，是一部值得去电影院看的好电影。特别有意思的是，这几年已经不见 3D 电影了，真的觉得 3D 电影很傻，看着非常不舒服只有字幕是3D 的。这部 2D 效果一样非常震撼。
我觉得这两部科幻挺有意思的，他们都在讨论一个话题：人类人多疯狂。
或者一个是讨论，一个是更进一步想解决。

我觉得三体是讲人类太疯狂了，主角对人类已经失去了信心，直接进入一个新的变量（外星人），不管带来是好是坏，终归会改变人类。因为作者假设人类的自我反思，在劣根性上是永远不会得到改变的，只有引入外部变量，才有一些可能。
而沙丘是一个讨论社会秩序、宗教信仰，看似星际宇宙视角，实则是社会秩序的话题。没有逃出人类的思维，又或者也许这些底层博弈论的逻辑，再宇宙的任何角落都是相通的。
不错说谁立意高谁立意低，而是我觉得这两个都在讨论一些相通的东西，只是用了不同的角度去思考，所以觉得挺有意思的。
