What are the cultural characteristics of China embodied in The Wandering Earth?

The Wandering Earth, a film adapted from Liu Xinci's science fiction novel of the same name, is very popular. This film, like an epic, has touched the hearts of countless audiences with its advanced imagination, grand narrative, exquisite special effects and touching plot. Not only the domestic audience applauded it, but also many foreign media paid great attention to it. According to the survey results of the Spring Festival Evening in 20 19, the audience satisfaction score of this year's Spring Festival Evening was 83.9, the highest score since the survey was conducted in 20 15. The film won the title of schedule satisfaction with 85.6 points, and the box office has exceeded 2 billion yuan at present.

It can be seen that the wandering earth has reached the standard of "phenomenal level". No wonder some experts call it "the first year of science fiction in China", and its unique China cultural charm has left a deep impression on the rescue and display of the earth home and even the whole human destiny. As the article published on the Economist website on February 14 said, The Wandering Earth, the first large sci-fi blockbuster in China, not only achieved box office success, but also incorporated the concept of "human beings share the same destiny". And this just poked the tears of the audience.

Yes, a movie, even a science fiction movie, can't be successful casually. To succeed, whether it is rich in material value or spiritual value, there must be something worthy of praise or even breakthrough, and it must be the "softest place" for the audience. In particular, the sci-fi films with grand narratives reflect values, aesthetics, world outlook and outlook on life, as well as the way of thinking, behavioral logic, principles and moral standards upheld and conveyed by the characters in the films, all of which should satisfy the appetites of different audiences. Thankfully, the wandering earth really did it.

In fact, if a movie wants to attract people, it needs not only high artistry and appreciation, but also cultural value. The Wandering Earth is such a masterpiece with appreciation, artistry and value. The film tells the story that the sun will be destroyed in the near future and the solar system is no longer suitable for human survival. In the face of desperation, mankind will launch the "Wandering Earth" plan, trying to escape from the solar system with the earth and find a new home for mankind. But what is reflected behind is China people's love for their homeland, their commitment to the common destiny of * * *, and the spirit of China culture's daring to contribute in times of human crisis. Any audience will be moved by the affection and friendship revealed by selflessness and fearlessness, as well as the spirit of stressing the overall situation and seeking common ground while reserving differences. This is the cultural value of this film, which shows the essence of China culture, China thought and China spirit.
