科幻动作片《战争游戏》
The film is based on Orson Scott Card’s 1985 novel, about a boy forced to become a weapon*.
Andrew “Ender” Wiggin lives a terrible life. The world hates the 10-year-old for who and what he is. The kids in his school hate him because he’s clever. He can analyze* any situation and see the way to get the best result, even if that means putting a bully* in the hospital. But he doesn’t seem to be living up to* his potential*, which is to save all mankind.
Ender (Asa Butterfield) was born some years after mankind’s first contact with an alien* species, called the Formics. They came with an all-out attack* on Earth and nearly killed everyone. That attack was stopped by one clever man, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), who discovered the Formics’ weakness and saved the day. Since then, the official who runs Earth’s International Fleet has been fearing reprisal* from those aliens and preparing for it.
Children, it is explained by Harrison Ford’s Colonel* Hyrum Graff in one of his many speeches, can have intuition* that adults can’t follow. So the Fleet has built a Battle School in Earth’s orbit*. It’s a boarding school, boot camp* and prison for those children.
Ender is admitted into Battle School, in which the dozens of kids are sorted* into “armies” to fight against each other in a competition.
“Ender’s Game” is a film about empathy* and its power. The reason Ender succeeds is because he understands what makes his enemies tick* on the battlefield, in the locker rooms and in the classrooms.
Ender is promoted to Command School, where he plans and carries out a series of virtual* attacks on the Formic fleet, helped by his friends and instructed by the legendary Rackham himself. He will lead his fellow soldiers into a battle that will determine the future of Earth.(SD-Agencies)
