Immortals/惊天战神

It is April 1st today, April Fool's Day, oh, a right date for the movie, because the roles (especially the gods) in the movie were so stupid to make the audience so frustrated. The whole movie was far worse than its predecessor, "300" or "Clash of the Titans".

The point of the movie was the Greek-style muscle men's fight, yes, this is the Only point, because the other parts of the movie were too weak. Its biggest logic vulnerability was: should or not the gods intervene human being's life breaking the law?

See, this was actually a Barber paradox: If the gods did obey the law and did ot intervene in human life, then the evil guy would get the bow and release the devil Titans, which would led the gods to have to be involved in human life against their own set law; while on the other hand, if the gods directly intervene in human life to stop the evil guy, then they still broke their own law. In any case, to break the law was unavoidable. In fact, it was their indulgence and negligence that made the evil guy could succeed in grabbing the bow step by step, and the loss bigger and bigger, and at last they themselves had to clean up the mess by sacrificing the lives of the people and even part of the gods.

Very familiar with the outcome huh? yep, you got it! This was a replica of the British and the French's policy of appeasement in World War II, only in the form of the ancient Greek war of gods vs titans. At the beginning of the Second World War, the British and the French hypocritically took non-interference policy, but in the end when the German arrived at their doors, they found they had to fight Hitler by themselves because of their own stupidity. By watching the gods' stupidity in the movie, we knew that the stupidity could be a genetic spread from the gods to the men.

今天是4月1日，愚人节，噢，和这部片子刚好相称。因为里面的主角（尤其是那些神）都太愚蠢了。看这部片子看得观众哭笑不得，和它的前辈《斯巴达300勇士》或者《诸神之战》差太远了。

本片的看点就是希腊风格的肌肉男之间的较量，但这也是唯一看点，因为其他的地方都太弱了。本片最大的逻辑漏洞就是：诸神到底应不应该违反法律介入人类的生活？看，这里其实是一个理发师悖论：如果诸神不介入人类的生活，那么坏人就会拿到那把弓，释放恶魔泰坦，导致诸神必须介入人类生活，违背自己给自己定下的法律；而如果诸神为了阻止恶人而介入了人类的生活，那么他们也仍然违背了自己的法律。——不管怎么样，他们都注定了要违背自己的法律。而实际上，正是他们眼睁睁看着坏人一步步得逞，让损失一步步扩大，最后还不得不出来以牺牲众人和部分神的性命为代价，收拾这个烂摊子。

——这个结局很熟悉吧？这就是二次大战英法绥靖政策的翻版，只不过披了一件古希腊诸神战争的外衣而已。二次大战中，英国人和法国人一开始也是假惺惺地采取不干涉政策，结果最后打到了家门口，才发现由于自己的愚蠢，现在他们不得不亲自上阵跟希特勒厮打。看到了电影里诸神的傻样，我们知道，愚蠢也是会遗传的，从神传到人。
