Every time I open a movie starring Guoda Statham, I keep thinking: How to kill this time?
This is also a helpless thing, especially for Guo Da. His transformation road never started and ended. After struggling a few times, he began a new transformation-internal transformation without violence.
In this film, objectively speaking, Guo Da is already ruthless enough: a person who can pass an exam just fine, and those who get a little or a little, all have the ability to get full marks; In the case, he didn't even catch his breath, he was full of blood and wiped out his opponent; and he walked all the way to find enemies and eat all kinds of gang members, without even blinking... If such a person really appeared In your and my life, I am afraid that it is already a god; however, in a movie starring Guo Da, these are appetizers, which can only barely make the audience who are wandering about killing and resisting killing every day. His bloodthirsty desire is satisfied a little, people expect a big kill, expect the director to set up more obstacles for him, and then we will see how Guo Da uses his rage and bravery to smash the skull of the enemy.
So, when Guo Da's partner started the action directly in front of him, the audience secretly rejoiced. Voila! This damn rhythm!
However, the climax of violence did not come as expected, or rather, it came and went, but the audience said: Huh? That's it?
It makes sense for the audience to be so disappointed, because Guo Da failed to kill every robber present himself, and he couldn't even protect his girlfriend (P reads "cannon"), and the duplicitous, The insider who killed several well-known security colleagues here was actually killed by infighting... Guo Da, what are you doing? !
Later, the audience looked at the progress bar, um, found that there was still a little time, so they began to look forward to it again, and they thought that they might have encountered that kind of climax lag?
Then, Guo Da really appeared, but he appeared inexplicably. He also held a small pistol to face the unarmed opponent. He took the advantage, said some words, and then, with his heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, ended the battle.
Guo Da, what's the matter with you? ! Why isn't your violence escalating?
Not addicting, right? Then please comment.
But I still give it 4☆.
The violence in "The Wrath of Man", as the violence of images, is indeed insufficient, but its violence is "culturalized" by culture. For example, when it comes to presenting the torture "Ling Chi", the way of the film should be a combination of image and sound, which is terrifying by presenting many unknown details; The body is boneless, but the mouth and the eyes are still moving" - the blood in this sentence is "culturalized" and processed by culture.
I thought that the violence that Jason presented this time was exactly this. Whether it was the title of the film or his story, it actually showed that he was in extreme violence. In order to seek revenge, he was not afraid to do anything. , kill anyone, and he can do it; however, he doesn't kill all the time during the movie, so we can only understand this whole in the sense of "entering the text" text with violence. So, the ostensibly purified violence makes the movie less violent, but it's the exact way that the movie keeps talking about extreme violence. Just like the Coen Brothers' "Thunderbolt", the violence contained in it is actually far beyond the so-called "violent movies".
Similarly, from the perspective of depth psychology, in the subconscious of people, the violence in "Wrath of Man" is actually ubiquitous, and everyone in it - except the son of the slain protagonist, almost The kind of person who understands the world through violence.
This is actually just like what I feel when I read "History", the darkness and brutality of the whole history is more than ten million times that of Statham's movies!
Historians are all educated people, and they try to purify the great, horrific violence that exists in history with words. "To make people go to the top", "to kill all the barbarians", "to be cruel to the people of Hes"... These words come together, it is "human anger" - human beings are actually extremely cruel, and intra-species struggle is the current The most likely way to end human history in sight.
"Shocking" is a word. For movies, whether it is shocking or shocking are always two basic orientations. It is one way to think that movies are the technological achievements brought about by the industrial revolution, and another way to think that movies are the literary arts of the muses.
