"The Green Hornet": Not enough chivalry, more than ruffian

Nowadays, the increase in the frequency of superheroes on the screen going abroad is in no way inferior to the skyrocketing prices and housing prices. From ancient times to the present, from people to beasts, from the earth to the universe, all kinds of superheroes can't stand loneliness, as if they had been beaten by chicken blood, they walked a big catwalk on the T stage of light and shadow. Moreover, most of them came well prepared and came home full of rewards. Even a young kid like Percy Jackson, who was just starting out, under the tutelage of Chris Columbus, can make a few buckets of money by playing around. It can be said that taking the basic line of superheroes, whether it is to eliminate the violence and the good, or rob the rich to help the poor, can all cater to the ideology of the audience's personal illusory heroism. Add in the richness of the art form, and the construction of an endless, imaginative empire is just around the corner. Of course, blindly laying hoes to help the weak, and the inertial steps that are invincible, will inevitably cause people's aesthetic fatigue and the attenuation of resonance. For this reason, an anti-superhero similar to the "violent little loli" in "Kick-Ass" was derived, and it won a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth. Well, this "Green Hornet" is obviously familiar with the way of plundering gold, and has done his part to follow in the footsteps of alternative superheroes.

Superheroes often have an inspirational basic routine of turning grief into strength, and losing a loved one is a must-have for entry. Spider-Man is his uncle, Batman is his parents, Superman is miserable, and the entire planet has been slaughtered... With the example of the predecessors, the new version of Green Hornet is also one of the brothers, and should stand together through thick and thin. In this way, I can only say that his father, whether tragic or not, must die. Sure enough, at the beginning of the film, the task is done neatly and brilliantly, taking the first step of a superhero.

In fact, when I saw the name of Logan Seth, there was basically no suspense in my heart - this is destined to be a talkative comedy. From comics to radio dramas, to TV dramas, and finally to movies, the heroic image of The Green Hornet is changing and exploring again and again. Then, the fat version of the Green Hornet is bound to be the most subversive and spoofed so far. He started out with boring shit and pissing movies, and he has formed a very personalized label. The naive bear-like, little sheep-like curly hair is both humorous and flat. He speaks in a low voice, and habitually sniffs after a few sentences, which can almost be sold as a joke. It can be seen that if you watch the national version, the joy will be greatly reduced. Superman is a serious and responsible man; Batman is voluptuous on the surface, but he is worried about the people of the dawn, and he is worried about the world; Spiderman is a good boy with a clear mind, no matter how childish he is. But the fat version of the Green Hornet is obviously genetically mutated to find another way. He tried his best to play Coldplay. Although he didn't learn much in one-and-a-half moves, he was able to intimidate the enemy by three points. With a little more fluff, it's more than enough to deal with a few gangsters.

Jay Chou, who is new to Hollywood, is really good at putting on a grandfather expression, which is finally useful. It is really gratifying. It can be imagined that, firstly, his acting skills are impetuous and erratic, and he lacks experience; secondly, his English is really not flattering, for fear that communication and discussion will become a problem. Then, we can only rely on the director's arrangement to follow suit. Naturally, it is even more impossible to forcibly implant a personal demeanor and make use of the theme. For this reason, it is true that Jay Chou's acting skills have improved a lot. Compared with "Thorn Tomb", he is completely different. In "Superman Can't Fly," he tells us there's no use of doubles. After watching the film, I just stopped. A large number of 360-degree rotating slow motion, stitched frame by frame, avoids proving the reality of hand-to-hand shots, sacrificing the coherence of the picture, and evolved into a CG live-action animation. Of course, this pales in comparison to "Resident Evil 4".

Since there is no real kung fu of Bruce Lee as the main ingredient, it is natural to launch a new killer. Superman and Spider-Man have very different genes and cannot be compared with them in the non-human category. But Batman took off his bat suit and dark circles, and he was a mortal body. It can be seen that whether a superhero is awesome or not depends on whether the equipment is enough. The Chrysler Empire sedan, commonly known as the "Black Beauty", is the powerful vehicle for the Green Hornet to pursue justice and punish evildoers. The cool shape, strong power, and luxurious firepower configuration give the film's most popular thermal racing bridge a lot of energy. Otherwise, with such a cliché plot and mainstream American humor, at least it won't be favored by mainland Chinese audiences. The villain of the film is full of bright spots, and the domineering aura of the Nazi officers has not yet dissipated. This interpretation is like a duck to water, and it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. In addition, Cameron Diaz, who is running around and playing soy sauce, is still a little old-fashioned. But it seems much younger and sexier than in "Knight and the Day". In general, she is the kind of beauties at first sight. Once the scenes are intensive, the vicissitudes will be exposed after a few more glances. The beauty is not enough but the temperament is more than enough.

"The Green Hornet" is lower-profile, more entertaining, and more casual than the average superhero movie, so that it doesn't leave any easter eggs for the sequel. It can be seen that the producer is also holding the attitude of trying, and it is estimated that the depth is nothing. But after that, the surging superheroes, "Thor", "Captain America", "Green Lantern", "The Avengers", etc., are all chivalrous and regular soldiers. Of course, whether it's a genuine chivalrous person or a shanzhai ruffian, it is a good thing to be able to maintain the peace of the universe and maintain long-term stability.
