After Earth || The chain of command between father and son

I am curious about the home life of people who received military training as children and grew up under the chain of command. I mean the reflections at home of the orders he received and gave as a soldier.

The 2013 sci-fi film After Earth partially answers my curiosity. Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) reflects his upbringing as a commander to his wife and son at home. His son Kitai Raige (played by Jaden Smith) is rightly unhappy with this situation and does not want to be raised as a soldier.

Cypher exaggerates the chain of command so much in the dinner scene that he treats his son as an orderly when he wants to leave the table. He wants him to address him as "Sir", to ask for permission in advance, and of course to submit when his permission is refused. It was the scene that annoyed me the most throughout the film, I can say it was the only scene because the film turns into a story of Kitai's son proving himself and proving himself.

Earth has become uninhabitable and quarantined, and everyone has settled in colonies on different planets. I guess one of the biggest features of being human is that wherever we go, we find enemies to deal with. Commander Cypher will retire after undertaking one last mission. Since the mission is quite simple, he takes his son Kitai with him, but he never compromises his commander attitude. The simple mission becomes difficult when they have to land on the quarantined world. The film has a gripping adventure as a subject, I think the watchability is quite high! Although the commander gets on my nerves a little with his demeanour, there are other reasons behind his cold stance.

Last jobs are the ones that I am always uneasy about in real life. When you do a job with the thought of "for the last time", you will definitely get into trouble or have problems. The most common one I encounter is the thought of taking the last bite during the meal and getting up because I will definitely spill that last bite on myself! Lololol

The last mission in the film After Earth and the problem it caused is not as easy as spilling the last bite of food on you, but it reminded me of this. Maybe I'm hungry.

I liked the role of Kitai played by Jaden Smith. He knows when to submit to his father and when to stand up to him, and he also manages to reflect the fear that is one of the requirements of being a child. I understand his feelings during the viewing and while I feel his fear, I especially agree with his points of going against his father's orders.

Another interesting point of the film is that unlike most science fiction films, the story takes place not outside the world, but on the world abandoned centuries ago. Since the world has been under quarantine for centuries and visits have been closed, some species in the world have developed more and multiplied uncontrollably. I can add nature to this.

It is a fact that the cycle will take place more easily where there are no people and the untouched nature will look more beautiful with other living things. In this respect, I liked the film in terms of exhibiting natural beauties. I gave the suggestion about its watchability in the article, but if I have to repeat, I had fun watching the science fiction film in which father-son and family relationships are highlighted. I recommend you to watch it, but will you enjoy it as much as me? I don't know!
