The movie "Crisis" is the "King of Disaster Movies" Roland Emmerich, an action thriller blockbuster after "Independence Day", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012"! This time Roland Emmerich is talking about the White House again, but this time it is not aliens who bomb the White House, but a group of well-trained terrorists. The film tells the story of how an unsuccessful agent, played by Channing Tatum, protects the president, played by Jamie Foxx, when terrorists invade the White House. When I saw the president played by Jamie Foxx, I couldn't help laughing. This is the serf who turned over and sang, and became the president after being a slave! But Jamie Foxx was not easy to be the president. He not only faced the pressure of running for president exerted by his political opponents, but also fell into a circle of terrorists. He may be headshot at any time. In the end, he had to carry rocket launchers and fight side by side with Channing Tatum. , in order to win a chance of life.
While watching the movie "The Shattering Man" I couldn't help but think of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, these action stars and their roles in the movie. Such Hollywood-style action movies, including this "Shocking Crisis", can be regarded as the main theme movies of the United States, and they all promote individual heroism under the collective spirit! They brought this kind of personal heroism to the extreme, and the performance made the audience's blood boil. Although Quentin Tarantino said: "It's a sin to make a movie the main theme promotional film," but Hollywood has filmed this sin without leaving any traces, so that the audience can't help but be impressed by the America in the movie every time. Infected by the spirit, at the same time, the protagonist who fights alone is worried, nervous, and his palms are sweating. He gets pleasure in the maddening of adrenal hormones again and again! All of this has to be attributed to Hollywood's unique and skillful way of narrating movies.
The plot setting, story direction, and emotional lines of characters in the movie "Shocking Crisis" are all in line with Hollywood-style narratives, and can be called a typical Hollywood popcorn movie. What makes the film unique is its subversive take on the president played by Jamie Foxx. After watching the movie, the audience may not remember the agent played by the protagonist Channing Tatum, but they will never forget the black president. The film can be said to be the president's personal show: in the square outside the White House, surrounded by soldiers and media , Citizens, they can no longer help the President, they can only watch the President fleeing everywhere in the siege of terrorists, the President's car chase and rocket-carrying performances, constantly causing bursts of exclamations from the onlookers. This has to admire Hollywood, and it is a very neat creation: they not only played with the high-ranking president, but also deeply demonstrated the invincible American spirit in the president's wise and brave fight against terrorists!
If the audience wants to watch a movie without thinking and full of excitement, "Crisis" is definitely a good choice, he will not make you sleepy in the cinema!
