As a die-hard "Halo" fan, I was hooked on the game "Halo 2" more than ten years ago. Regarding Halo games, including strategy games, "Halo 4" and "Halo 5", they all accepted genuine copies without mercy after becoming financially independent.
"Halo 5"
Master Chief, for me, this title may be more of a child's personal hero worship for the "Human Federation" when it dominates the interstellar world. Of course, this kind of worship also includes a science fiction fan who wants all science fiction needs to be satisfied. pleasure.
Unlike "Starship Troopers", the UNSC is described in the official novel as adopting a bloody suppression method against the separatist forces in the star field around 2552. However, as long as everything has something to do with the Master Chief, it will make the UNSC in Halo look less like a militaristic government. Because Dr. Halsey said the same thing to the captain of the Pillar of Autumn decades after the fall of Reach; "Why the Master Chief can survive is because he still has humanity."
Dr. Halsey in the show
In the process of reading novels and game animations, I have encountered similar scenes many times, and Dr. Halsey mentioned human nature many times. And when this word comes from the mouth of the maker of Master Chief, it is not difficult for us to suspect that a war machine is designed to fight against the most powerful enemy in the history of mankind. A person who was stolen from his biological parents, had his memory erased and received cruel training Have men really changed from machines to humans?
This time, the American drama "Halo" gave us the most obscure interpretation. It’s so obscure that people who haven’t read more than two Halo novels won’t understand it, because you don’t know the background of Halo. People who haven't played more than three Halo games don't understand, because you can't understand the full story of the war from those beautiful cutscenes. People who haven't even watched a series of official or fan films such as "Sailing to Dawn", "Halo: Reach Has Fallen", "Halo – Nightfall" and other official or fan films will not understand, because it is impossible for you to empathize with the number 117.
body strengthening surgical thread
When I saw the update announcement on the afternoon of March 24, the first season of "Halo" was released. For the first time, "Halo" had the opportunity to be seen by everyone on the screen, not just for publicity. Film. It's a real drama. Even in the beautiful country, the production cost of 10 million US dollars for a single episode seems too heavy at this time when all industries have withered due to the epidemic. Admittedly, judging from the first episode, the 10 million is quite worth it.
At the beginning of the film, the issue of independence in the remote colonies was mentioned in just a few shots and a few lines. Could it be that the beautiful country was inspired by the cowboys of Texas, the surfers of Florida, and the Protestants of North Carolina? Demand independence from the beautiful country again?
Surrender news broadcast on TV
The scene of the Spartans parachuted from the Pelican transport plane to fight against the Covenant elite soldiers simply fulfilled all my childhood fantasies about the appearance of non-commissioned officers. Judging from the way the camera uses language, this little Asian girl is a very important character. But, if the heroine is her. Feel sorry! I can't accept the loss of Cortana, Master Chief's eternal love. After watching it twice in a row, I even made a decision. If the heroine is really her, I'd better go back and edit my Russian drama.
The actress who appeared the most in the first episode, the role in the play—Guan Ha
Another thing that made me think hard and couldn't figure it out was in the face of a seemingly reluctant reason. This man, who had not known his appearance for more than 20 years, took off his helmet unexpectedly. What caught me even more off guard was that this man still had such a "fair-faced face" after undergoing so many enhancement surgeries. "After all, you have to be as fair-faced as the Spartan junior in "Sail to Dawn".
The female Spartan in "Halo 4: Forward to Dawn", although she is human, looks like. . . .
The male Spartan in "Halo 4: Forward to Dawn", notice that his eyes have changed color due to body modification!
To be honest, I was really disappointed to see this. I was so disappointed that I watched it four times in a row just to understand what the director was thinking at the time. To differentiate yourself from The Mandalorian, you took off your helmet in the first episode? Is it necessary for the subsequent plot? In short, taking off this helmet caught people off guard.
The scene in the play where the Master Chief takes off his helmet
In the second half of the first episode, due to human nature's refusal to obey Order 72 and the extermination of all separatist forces, it can only be said that it is quite satisfactory for the original party. Team Silver followed Dr. Halsey's orders and stopped the Marines who were demolishing the Pelican. right! That's right! It's the silver team, not the blue team. Because he refused the order to escape, Dr. Halsey's smile became even more meaningful.
Generally speaking, apart from the fact that the Asian actress still doesn’t know what role she is in, there is also the confusing thing about taking off the helmet. Overall, this drama is quite consistent with the original work. After all, it's only the first episode. Whether or not this show should be explained once a week depends on how it performs next Thursday.

As a commentator for Russian dramas and a die-hard fan of "Halo", I complained in the early morning of March 26, 2022.
