Edge of Tomorrow "is set to cycle time and space. The protagonist Cage (played by Tom Cruise) will spin again when he dies, returning to the starting point when he enlisted in the militaryon the one hand, it's like a video game. "Back to the Moonlight Treasure Box" (kinda funny), third, can lead to a world view of the cycles of time and space, which is the inevitable human destiny .
"Warrior in Different Space" did not fall into the curse of destiny in its cycle. Cage is similar to Sisyphus pushing a rock up a mountain. Repetitive labor seems pointless, which is an absurd situation. Xerxphus is punished by the gods, but Cage is in a bloody battle like Normandy (history is repeated here) and accidentally acquires the alien invading power of the invaders (mimicry) through a similar experience. With the explanation and help of the female warrior Rita (Emily Blunt) and the scientist , Cage finds a way to break through destiny. How to break through? "Warrior in Different Space" has repeatedly emphasized discipline and practice, constantly learning from mistakes, practicing making perfect, and overcoming every problem,
"Warrior in Different Space" is not only similar to Xerxes' Greek mythology. Initially, Cage was not a hero like Xerxes (of course Camus considered Xerxes a silly hero). In battle, Cage becomes a step-by-step hero. The name Mimics means Mimesis. In Plato's two dialogues "Ion" and "Republic" (also translated as "Republic"), the characters address the problem of imitation, in particular. There are three kinds of beds mentioned in the tenth volume of "The System of Kings": the first is the essential, natural and ideal bed created by God; the second is a bed made by carpenters imitating ideas; the third is a bed made by a painter in imitation of a carpenter. Artificial bed. In Plato's thought, the idea of God is supreme, imitating and waiting for the next. Cage's actions were to first kill multiple imitators (imitators, imitators), and then to subdue the evil gods in their midst. The whole process is like killing a god (or demon).
Apart from imitation, Fate was also one of the centers of Greek thought. The protagonist in "Warrior in Different Space" did not have the order to conform to destiny. In the world of time lapse, life and death are repeated. Practices and breakthroughs already exist. break the inevitable destiny and historical destiny of life and death, and show the will of modern people. Between need and possibility, modern people advocate freedom, embrace contingency, and believe that people can improve themselves.
Greek culture was one end, but another center of Western civilization was Christian civilization. The view of time cycles differs from the Christian view of time leading to eternity, and this is one of the clear divisions. The soldier in the film dies instantly when he chants God and the afterlife. On the contrary, the protagonist in the eyes of the creator does not want to face death and survive, but to cross death many times to achieve survival and personal freedom. This is another clear dividing line. In addition, the choice of battle at the end of the film under the Pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris is immediately reminiscent of "The Da Vinci Code" (The Da Vinci Code). According to the film, under the pyramid is the place where Magdalene Sarcophagus is located.
Awesome movie... a must watch for everyone that likes action movies!
