After watching the movie "The Expendables 3", there is always a word in my mind, that is "era". This is a farewell to an era.
Some people say that the death squad is full of gunshots from beginning to end, and there is no plot. But if you really came for the plot, why not watch a feature film?
And, to be honest, in action movies, The Expendables are excellent works in terms of starring, scenes, plots and ideas. The so-called film review sometimes feels that it is nothing more than some otaku in the bedroom. Film critics and Oscars have always looked down on action movies, and they pursued the so-called "depth" and "counter-attack".
I consider myself a movie lover, especially action movies. I still know a little bit about the development of the whole action movie. For me, The Expendables 3 is the farewell of an era. In the movie, Stallone said to Jason that "the future is not ours". This is a kind of helplessness. People who have no feelings for action movies cannot understand this kind of sadness and helplessness. Those who say "this is the best era, this is a small era" all day long can't understand the feeling of "old soldiers don't die, they just fade away".
The initiator of the movie "The Expendables" series is my idol - Stallone. For many post-90s, they have very little impression of him. Maybe everyone doesn't know that the video game "Contra" we were fond of when we were young It's based on Stallone.
My understanding of Stallone started from the movie "First Blood". Rambo, the taciturn and patriotic tough guy, was once the idol of a generation and the goal of the special forces. Later, after watching the movie "Rocky", my understanding of Stallone was further deepened. I won't talk nonsense about what First Blood and the Rocky franchise have accomplished on the film itself. Many details outside the movie can highlight the influence of Stallone's two series: because of "First Blood", Stallone was invited to the White House by the President of the United States as a guest; because of "First Blood", people have always accused the Vietnam War. Veterans have come to tolerance, mutual understanding and reflection on war; because of "Rocky", the people of a city are proud of Philadelphia as a filming location, and erected a statue for Stallone in front of the History Museum; because of "Rocky", Stallone was called Inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame for those who saved American boxing.
It is not enough to introduce Stallone and his achievements in one or two sentences. Closer to home, back to the movie "The Expendables 3".
I am indeed very fortunate that Stallone's Bo Li has come back these years. A man who is almost seventy years old, relying on his own beliefs, in his twilight years, in this era of lack of blood and masculinity, once again relied on his own fists. country. People go to the cinema not only for those swords, swords and bullets, but also for that kind of feeling.
My brother and I watched the first "The Expendables 3" on September 6th. When we were in line, some interesting things were worth talking about.
Standing in front of us is an uncle of about 50 years old, alone, looking like a businessman, always thinking that he will watch "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" or other movies, when he says "The Expendables" three When I wrote a word, I felt that he was just like us in our twenties. Maybe, 20 years ago, accompanied by his brother, he watched Stallone's "First Blood".
Regarding the scenes and plots of the movie, I will not describe them here. All I am talking about is "feelings" or "feelings".
Some things may be coincidences, but for a "die-hard" like me, it can be seen as the arrangement of fate. In the 1980s, Stallone said "I*m expendable" in First Blood 2, 30 Years later, he created "the expendables", which is the Chinese translation of "The Expendables 3".
Different from the previous two Expendables that focused on the retro tough guy style, in "The Expendables 3", Stallone added a little literary style to the screenwriting, for example, when Stallone and the old Expendables separated from the relationship, Jason said, "When I joined the Expendables. , I bought the whole ticket, it is impossible to drive halfway!" Stallone dismissed Jason's words with the sentence "The journey is over".
The point that Stallone has been emphasizing in the movie is "farewell". He repeatedly said to Jason "the future is not belong to us" and "we are done". Facts have proved that although the strength is still there, although the old members of the death squad are no longer young, they will gradually be involved in the wheel of the times. Although they are reluctant and helpless, the veterans are still gradually withering. Perhaps, this also symbolizes the departure of the era of tough-guy action movies. So, for me, "The Expendables 3" is more of a farewell to an era.
At the end of the film, the new Expendables members took the stage to sing a classic ballad "Old Man" with intriguing lyrics, "old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you." The movie is over, no one knows what will happen in the future, Stallone and other "old men" will continue to fight, maybe this is the essence of tough guy action movies. live for nothing, or die for some thing, it's our call, keep fighting!
