Speaking of "Colombian", which was translated into "Deadly Black Orchid", there is actually an element of race. There is indeed an orchid in the film that is the main clue of the story. The scientific name of that orchid is "Kataria", and at the same time , "Katalia" is also the name of the heroine in the film. Catalonia as a flower is a beautiful white flower that is not black at all. The so-called "black orchid" is a metaphor for the skin color of the heroine. This practice of emphasizing the skin color of the characters is politically incorrect and has a potential racial component. In fact, aside from skin color and purely as an actor, Zoe Saldana should be the most correct choice for this film. It is her skill and figure that makes this film at least not so ugly to watch. , and even a lot of clips are pleasing enough to watch. 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 impressive focuses of "Avatar". "Colombian" selected her precisely because of her outstanding performance in "Avatar". This is her first leading role in the film after she became famous with "Avatar", just because she has been in China for a long time, and there is not much imprint to connect the two films together. The original advertising effect of the producer should have failed, but the beautiful skills of Princess Avatar still added a lot to the film.
This movie with a grand English name, the pattern of its story is actually not big, even too narrow, so small that people can't believe it. Especially after the "blood case caused by a steamed bun" in "Wuji", the story of "Colombian" is a "blood case caused by a U disk". 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, in the process of growing up, kept practicing to be a killer. , and kept leaving "Katalia Flowers" when committing the crime. The purpose was not to provoke the police, but to stimulate the original murderer of his father and lead him to move out, so as to complete his revenge plan.
"Debt must be repaid" constitutes the theme of the story, but the tragedy is that when you fall into hatred and pay blood for blood, your killing will also constitute a double-edged sword. While killing, you may also be killed. Killed, or relatives and friends were killed. Katalia, who is bent on revenge, lost her uncle and grandmother when she faced off against a powerful enemy camp. New hatred and old hatred can make people stronger, but if family love is lost, it will not be reborn because of your killing and your revenge. Therefore, what Katalia is facing is pain after all. Although she has tried her best to avoid contact with her in order to protect her grandmother, and try not to let her enemies go to find her, she still failed to do so. Revenge brings people not pleasure, but just another kind of killing. Fortunately, the director added a little love to her, giving her some solace after stepping down from the killer figure. Thinking about such a story in this way, in fact, is a bit too much to think about. Because the director may not actually think so, what he presents is just to show Zoe Saldana Miaoman's figure, and the pleasure of killing with a gun.
Such a movie, which came to China after a long delay, is basically on the list of whether to watch or not. But considering that there are not enough convincing movies to watch at present, after the Chinese-language movies have contributed several excellent works, the audience is once again disgusted because of "Tian Ji: Fuchun Mountain Residence" and "Fuchun Detective". In addition to this, apart from "Superman", there are no other works selected by the subject. So, let's go and see it while it's still being staged. Not so good, but not too bad, and looking at the beautiful Zoe Saldana, it's a little bit of movie ticket money.
