Three minutes safe and painless free facelift, do you want it?

I was
fortunate enough to participate in the premiere of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows". After seeing Brother Sugar, he calmed down his excitement and watched the film in advance.

The whole process of watching the movie, the evolution of my inner drama is as follows: The four tortoises are still so ugly! Ahhhhh Megan Fox sexy explosion! What a handsome guy who chased cars and robbed prisoners! Still playing through Excuse me? 23333 Is it the only one who thinks the noodles in beef noodles are cute? How can the big villain grow so disgusting, what is that viscous liquid! ! ! After it's over, I feel that the god turtle is a little handsome, am I sick... The battle looks great! The special effects are great, it’s worth the price~

So, don’t lie to you, the second part of the turtle is really much better than the first one, even the 4 turtles are a little more handsome. As for how handsome it is, of course it's not handsome on the outside (I'm not the kind of superficial person), but handsome on the inside... I will tell you slowly below.

This kind of film, of course, has already guessed the ending before watching it: the four turtles won the battle against the boss, a man (Brother Sugar) and a woman (Megan) are happily together, and the innocent people are completely confused. Under forced circumstances, he saved his life, but it was too late to celebrate the next day and still had to go to work.

But there are two things that I didn't guess about this film: First, the producer is really insidious. It may be because the four turtles in the first film were scolded and scolded indecently as soon as they appeared on the scene, so they thought of a bad move: Let a villain that is a hundred times more ugly + disgusting to set off the beauty of the turtle, very good, you succeeded; second, this is also the core shining point of the whole film, which can be summarized as a quiz in simple terms: what if You are an ugly man, and give you a free plastic surgery opportunity (safe, painless, three minutes to complete), how would you choose?

That's right, our 4 ugly tortoises chose "No" after some internal struggles. This is the reason why they (internal) become handsome, and it is also the reason why I turn to their passersby.

First think, if the four turtles become humans, as handsome as Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Captain America and other superheroes, what will their lives be like?

First of all, they no longer need to hide in the dark, wet and dirty sewers (the anger of the mouse master should be here); secondly, the one who finally embraces the beauty should not be the turn of the sugar brother (the moon is the first near the water tower); In addition to occasionally stepping up to become superheroes guarding the city, they may become scientists, athletes, leaders, actors, etc., and become elites. At that time, they can eat as much pizza as they want, and hide in basketball. Are you afraid of watching the ball at the top of the field? Do you still endure the strange eyes of ordinary people? Do not! This is a broad road that can be promoted and raised, become general manager, become CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life!

So tempting, our four turtles were not unmoved, and even caused a small infighting. However, their final choice... If you watch this movie, you should have the same questions as me, WHY? ! Is there anything wrong with being human and retaining superpowers? But slowly, I kind of understood them.

Ninja, Baidu Encyclopedia tells me: Ninja is a special occupation unique to Japan. It is a special war killer and special war spy who has received special "ninjutsu training" by a special organization. "Ninjutsu training" sounds unclear, but its essence is of course in the word "forbearance". At the same time, like the Bushido of Japanese samurai, ninjas also follow a set of special rules that they are proud of. It is conceivable that this is a group of creatures with faith, pursuit, and strict rules (and possibly abstinence).

In the ninja world, there are four basic commandments: no abuse of ninjutsu, abandon all self-esteem, must be tight-lipped, and never reveal your identity.

The reason why Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles boss Leonardo opposes becoming human perfectly interprets the spirit of ninja: we are inherently special, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When we are given a certain mission, as long as the mission is correct (in accordance with Standard), we must obey wholeheartedly and fight like a ninja! To this end, we must abandon all self-esteem and never reveal our identity. We must ensure this pure pursuit, so in the face of all temptations and vacillations, there is only the only countermeasure-forbearance.

They cannot guarantee whether they can continue to shoulder the responsibility of defending the city after they become human, whether they can still be a united and fighting group like they are now, and how will the people view them? In the face of all these unknowns and uncertainties, firm original intention should be the simplest and most correct choice.

Perhaps this kind of thinking is a bit too high and ungrounded, but if you can’t bear it, you will be messy. The four ninjas who shoulder the heavy responsibility will never allow a bit of “chaos”, so they can “tolerate”. This is the profession of a ninja. training.

At the end of the film, the four magical turtles fought a beautiful victory and returned to the sewers, but from the back, it is clear that they have become handsome, beautiful, and taller! ! !
