As a heroic film, the protagonist is too cowardly in the film

It sucks. The bones are wrong.

As a heroic film, the protagonist has never won a victory by virtue of his own strength in the film.

The film emphasizes twice that Tarzan is a hero full of spirituality, and the film is full of close-up shots of him, so I have reason to say that this is a heroic film.

But in the movie, his image is weak, and certain plots of the movie magnify this weakness. For example:

1. He was worried that Jane would be hurt, so he refused to take Jane back to the jungle, hesitated for one night, and brought Jane back.

Keywords: hesitation , weak strength Key words: recklessness, failure

3. If the above plot is explained by Tarzan as a "power hero", then next, he fights with a gorilla, is beaten and abused, and takes the initiative to say to his companions, kneel down and beg for forgiveness. Key words: weak strength, surrender

4. Going to the hostile tribe alone, heroism flashed for a moment, and the heads-up victory was won. However, the final solution was the scene where the gorillas rushed to the scene. Note that Tarzan is still under siege before the gorilla arrives, and he faces off against the rival tribe, and the battle is still not won. Key words: With the help of foreign forces

5. At the end of the film, "Fire Bull Array", Taishan and lions drove the bison to attack the camp together, and finally won. There's a sliver of individualism shining through at the end of the credits. Key words: more than external forces

.

This may be the reason why many people are unhappy after watching this movie, because from the plot of the movie, the shaping of this hero image is unconvincing - he is impulsive, reckless, weak, powerless in the face of many things, the key reversal It also depends on external things and luck.

Any film about the personal heroism of the old beauty in the 1990s, the concentration of power in the plot, can kill this Taishan in seconds.
