I'm a person who doesn't like watching movies very much. Usually facing the computer will only link from one web page to one web page, that's all. But when I stumbled across the word "violent block" on the website, an inexplicable impulse prompted me to find this movie and watch it.
The Violent Block is also known as the B13 area, which is the same name as my dormitory building. Although they have the same name, the security is different. And this B13 district is a slum. Big cities should be no strangers to slums. New York, Rio de Janeiro, etc. are one of the world's famous areas with slums. The special environment in slums can easily lead to various social ills. It is indeed a difficult issue from the point of view of state management. Not to mention when it comes to the underworld. It is said that the mafia in Italy is quite powerful. France is so close to Italy, it should be about the same. The film starts with Leto, who grew up in the B13 area. Leto destroys the drugs of the boss of the b13 area and is hunted by the killer. Leto moved like a rabbit, how could a group of stupid big horses be his opponents. Then staged a classic scene in the parkour world. Leto's wonderful jumps between building and building. It's not an exaggeration to go overboard. Compared with Chinese kung fu, the visual impact is even better. One of the differences between Chinese and Western cultures can be seen from it. All sports in China care about practicality. The visual appreciation of the West is much stronger than that of China. Chinese nunchucks are used in martial arts fighting, represented by Bruce Lee. The West has long made nunchucks the same as acrobatics. Although China is now also rising nunchaku fever. But a piece of loose sand is not scale. The broad spirit and graceful posture of Chinese martial arts are still not as attractive as hip-hop to teenagers. Look at the admiration that flashed in the eyes of those little girls who heard that a certain boy would dance hip-hop. I think it would make a big difference if you said a certain guy could do a set of tai chi.
Visual impact is a major factor in the film's success. In addition, the film is also attached to the slum issue of the world's attention. It has great reference significance for the government to solve practical problems. Slums are an inevitable outcome of social development. China also has it, and China has even more urban villages. The difference is that the slums have no money, while the urban villages are quite rich. There is no other way for local governments like the B13 district to take the last resort. If they blow up, they will be fine. But the best way to do something evil is to improve rather than destroy. In a fierce battle, Leto brought the rule of law to the B13 district. Such a solution is welcome. This reminds me of the Golden Triangle area. At that time, it was also a world-famous three-no-go area. I think there's quite a bit of Leto in there too. At that time, the Kuomintang remnant Li Mi was defeated and retreated to the Golden Triangle. Was attacked by the Communist Party and the face of the Dianjun on both sides. Forcing Liangshan to become a hero. Reduced to the point of selling opium for a living. Today's Golden Triangle is still an important producer of drugs in the world. The problem is still serious. Can the area of the Golden Triangle and the b13 area be solved in the same way?
However, the current situation of the Golden Triangle has been greatly improved. The production of poppy in the Golden Triangle has increased from 66% of the world's to 12% now. It seems that the rule of law also shines in dark areas. Because such darkness has made many people doubt justice. Leto also once doubted the existence of justice. Because a person who has lived in darkness for a long time does not believe in the light. And it is in such a social environment that the extremely handsome extreme sports of "parkour" is derived. To this day, I have always dreamed that I have such agile skills to be able to walk around the dormitory and teaching buildings. But when I actually joined the big sport, I only played a day and my legs were sore for almost a week. It seems that "parkour" is still not suitable for an older person like me.
This film gave me a little more confidence in society. There will still be justice. After Sun Zhigang died, the city management was in peace. Dead calm, the Ministry of Railways reflected. The greatest cost of life is to promote social reform.
