But they, they met the Chinese, so "Australia" became "Australia", "Shanghai" became "Spy Sea", and "Columbia" became "Deadly Black Orchid." Only "Nanjing! Nanjing! "Because it was originally like this, there was no way to change it, but its English name was "City of Life and Death". It was changed on the initiative, and the disclosure was obviously lacking in confidence.
Speaking of "Columbia", it was translated into "Deadly Black Orchid". In fact, there is a racial element. There is indeed an orchid in the film that is the main clue of the story. The scientific name of the orchid is "Catalia". At the same time , "Catalia" is also the name of the heroine in the film. Catalia is a beautiful white flower, not black at all. The so-called "black orchid" is a metaphor for the female protagonist's skin color. This method of emphasizing the skin color of the character is politically incorrect and has a potential racial element. In fact, regardless of skin color and purely as an actor, Zoe Saldana should be the most correct choice for this film. It is because of her skill and figure that this film is not so ugly to watch at least. , And even many clips are pleasing enough. Although Zoe Saldana is black, her role as the daughter of the tribal chief on the planet Pandora in "Avatar" is actually very good, and it is also one of the focal points of "Avatar" that impresses people. "Columbia" selected her precisely because of her outstanding performance in "Avatar". This is the first movie she has taken the lead role after she became famous with "Avatar", just because she has been in China for a long time, and there are really not too many marks to link the two films together. The original advertising effect of the producer should be invalid, but the beautiful skill of Princess Avatar still adds a lot to the film.
This movie with a majestic English name, the pattern of the story is actually not big, even too small, so small that it is unbelievable. Especially after "the murder caused by a steamed bun" in "Wuji", the story of "Columbia" is a "monster caused by a USB flash drive". A little girl, when she was a child, witnessed her parents being killed by an enemy in front of her eyes. The reason was because of a USB flash drive. So, the little girl who was planted with the seeds of revenge continued to practice to be a killer when she was growing up. , And kept leaving "Katalia flowers" when committing the crime, the purpose is not to provoke the police, but to stimulate the original murder of the father and the enemy, to induce them to mobilize, so as to complete his own revenge plan.
"Debt must be paid" constitutes the theme of the story of Colombian, but the tragedy is that when you fall into hatred and blood for blood, your killing will also constitute a double-edged sword. At the same time as killing people, You may also be killed, or your relatives and friends may be killed. Catalia, who is bent on revenge, lost her uncle and grandmother when confronting a powerful enemy camp. The old hatred of the death of her father is hard to dissipate, and the new hatred has been formed. New hatred and old hatred can make people stronger, but if the family relationship is lost, it is lost, and it will not be reborn because of your killing and your revenge. Therefore, Catalya is facing pain after all. Although she has tried to protect her grandma by trying to minimize contact with her and try not to let the enemy find her grandma, she still fails to do so. Revenge does not bring people pleasure, but just another kind of killing. Fortunately, the director added a little love to her, which gave her some comfort after retreating from the assassin's figure.
Thinking about such a story in this way, in fact, I have a little thought about it. Because the director may not actually think so, what he showed was just showing the figure of Zoe Saldana Myman, and the pleasure of killing with a gun.
Such a movie came to China after a long delay, and it is basically among the list of whether to watch it or not. However, considering that there are not enough convincing films to watch at present, after the Chinese-language films have contributed to great works, the audience is once again disgusted because of "The Mystery of the Fuchun Mountains" and "Fuji Detective". In addition, apart from "Superman", there are no other works selected by the disciplines. In this way, let's take a look while it's still playing. Not so good, but not too bad. Look at the beautiful Zoe Saldana, and you can get back some movie ticket money.
