A daydream of ordinary people

Since watching this movie last year, I always want to say something inexplicably. But once I wrote, I felt something was wrong. It feels like a layer of silk cotton autumn clothes and a thick stitched sweater between the fingers and the itchy area. I slid and slid. It was clearly there, but I couldn’t reach it, and it was like a dream full of suspense. Was awakened in the middle, only remembered the feeling, but forgot the specific situation, and hated it. . . . . .

Only a few days ago, after sorting out the experience of the past year, I thought I had discovered what that Dongdong that I could feel for a long time but was unknown.

I think this film may indeed be an underrated art film. Some really profound things are hidden under the ridiculous and crude art and photography.

In the process of watching a movie, I have been thinking about who has the power to judge others. No doubt, the director has also discovered this problem, or that this problem is as early as the director's presupposition. That's why Frank was touched by the hand of God, giving him (at least he himself thinks so) the qualifications to judge right and wrong and use a pipe wrench to break others' heads. In other words, it is his own belief that gives him this qualification. This brings this issue very close to our lives. Every day in countless forums, countless people, including me in the past, are all wielding a pipe wrench of words to break those who are not conspiring with themselves. He is trying to infuse what he thinks is the "correct values" into it. Of course, this is fairly light. . . . . . In fact, those who are full of fundamentalism, they and Frank are not too different in essence. . . . . . Fortunately, Frank's values ​​did not deviate too far from the mainstream, or to be more precise, Frank's values ​​are the purest orthodoxy. If his values ​​can be popularized, then a harmonious society governing the country by virtue will not be far away. . . . . . It is a pity that he is an ordinary person. What is even more pity is that human society is based on a series of contracts. The laws of this society, in order to be universal, inevitably lack humanity and flexibility, so , There is a gray area, there is the helplessness of being an ordinary person, and there is a need for superheroes that transcend the laws of nature and the social contract.

Most superhero movies in the past and even now always naively describe the problems that need to be solved as some other supernatural beings, alien creatures, Frankensteins, products of genetic mutations, side effects of time-space distortions, at least they must be completely raw. The sore soles and pus are superb. The police are helpless and the army is the ultimate villain who flees from the wind, but here super has pointed out that the real gray area arises from the gap between law and morality. The police do not want to control because it is not a big case. Whoever is in charge of others commits a big case-littering, jumping in line, drug abuse, child prostitution, and abducting women from good families. . . . . . All these things need a superhero to settle one by one. To paraphrase Huang Ye's words in "Teahouse", "I will take care of things that the official office can't manage; I'll be inconvenient to intervene in things that the official office can't manage"-so it seems that Fat Huang with a bad look can be called An alternative pioneer in the superhero world. . . . . . Pulling away.


Almost every frame of the movie is anti-heroism. It can be said that the deconstruction of the past superhero movies + Tucao to the extreme-Frank's image design is full of teasing and irony of traditional heroes from every angle, and it is enlightening. Inspired by Frank, the religious show with a brainstorming plot, and the slightly mentally abnormal Libby’s enthusiasm for bloody scenes suggest that what makes traditional superhero movies and comics really gain audiences is not so much the values, but those. Negative sensory stimulation. . . . . .

The most interesting thing is that, in the end, the film has been stretched for more than ninety minutes of nonsense, revealing a face of critical realism, Frank yelled, "Jumping in line is not right! Drug trafficking is not right! Prostitute is not right! Bullying is wrong!" It is not so much a declaration of justice, it is more desperate. In the face of reality, he was actually very clear that he was not qualified for the final trial, otherwise he would not turn upside down when facing the police, and he didn't even have the name "The Murderer Beats the Tiger and Wusong" as his own duty. And Liv Tyler left the savior again a few months after being rescued. After all, gratitude and love are not the same thing, life is cruel, but only this is true. Frank finally realized that his mission was only to save the elf princess, not to tie her up for a lifetime, and calmly accepted the fact of adopting a rabbit-this really made those who were taken for granted because of some so-called rescue action. The savior declares the sovereignty and is to be passed down to generations. How can the ever-glorious, great and correct superheroes feel so embarrassed? . . . . .

Being born to be free is nonsense, and the shackles of omnipresence are real. . . . . . Perhaps, only people with abnormal mental conditions, such as Frank and Libby, can break this shackle. The so-called acting for the sky can only exist in the heroic movies of lust. Once it returns to the truth, it is without exception, it is all tragedy, such as the end of the wild flower, such as the suspicious X. . . . . .

Finally, let's talk about a nosy: the police came to Frank's bridge section, and he looked like a two-smoker.
