Aging is something that people do not want to face directly. Hair is getting thinner and thinner, a few white hairs crawling out of the temples after a few days, and some days of wanting to sleep but not being able to sleep... These all make you feel a little bit of pain.
The old heroes in "The Expendables" have a glorious past. Although their faces are vicissitudes and the corners of their eyes are full of wrinkles, their eyes are still bright and their skills are still extraordinary. They never thought about the day when they would return to the field after disarming their armor. They only thought about those who died in battle. tragic. Suddenly, the "death squad" was disbanded. Barney wanted to look for new recruits. He recruited 4 faster and stronger high-tech soldiers to let them start their retirement life. Is it really "hero's end, beauty is late"?
The rookie won the first battle, everything was surprisingly smooth, and it seemed to be easy to handle, but due to a negligence, it fell into a bigger crisis. In the end, the veteran entered the battle, hand in hand with the rookie, and proved each other in a thunderous battle. , the perfect ending!
There is a saying in China that "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves", and there is also a saying that "it was difficult to make water in the sea". Heroes have passed away and lost the center of the stage, but they are not afraid of danger, calm and relaxed tone, their wisdom and responsibility, and their friendship that lasts for a long time. , their trade-offs will make you feel a sense of awe, just like watching the movie "The Lion King", when you see Simba's father Mufasa being persecuted and killed by a traitor, people can't help but feel sorry and moved.
Mr. Bo Yang said that in a farming society, the elderly are well-informed about the world, and they are knowledgeable about geography, know the laws of planting and harvesting, master land resources, and pass on oral experience to their children and grandchildren. They are the head of the family. In the modern social market economy, the means of earning a living have increased, and the dependence on land has decreased; in the digital age, young people keep pace with the times and take their own role, while the elderly decline and the young rise. The times are changing so fast that the old heroes are caught off guard, and they feel sad and helpless.
The world of young people is rising. The world is contradictory - old people are a wall, blocking the progress; old people are a mountain, young people climb it and go further. Old people win the respect of young people by virtue of their wisdom and strength, and young people win recognition by their bravery and blockbuster performance at critical moments, and they shake hands. Like the ending of "The Expendables" 3, when the song "Old men" sounded, watching these young people in their 20s sing, the old heroes felt lost and accepted it calmly... Time is fair, youth will end Passed away, life is short, life cannot be repeated, such as watching the sunset, the splendor is left to the past, and it is about to sink into the twilight. It is inevitable that people will be sad for this irreversible process. Su Shi chanted: "The great river goes east, the waves are washed away, and there are romantic people through the ages"... We don’t understand it when we are young, but we can’t catch it when we get old….. I think of the cartoon "Howl's Moving Castle" by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki. The girl was turned into an old woman by witchcraft, and she first experienced all kinds of old age. The taste, the wrinkles on the face, the vicissitudes of the voice, the hunched back, the difficulty in moving, and the feeling of the old man's mood at the same time - there are less things to lose, it is not easy to panic and worry about gains and losses. Having such an enlightening experience, it will be something worth cherishing if you become young again, if you have a new life!
"The Expendables" 3 has a shockingly violent aesthetic. The witty dialogue and the distinctive performance of several supporting characters buffer the blood of the fight and relax the tense nerves. The combination of the old and the new has completed the impossible task. Great success. The singing sounded, everything seemed to be under control, and everything seemed to be accepted calmly...
