"My Father and My Blood": French anti-hero film

The film inherits the realist aesthetics of French films and advocates the anti-heroist values ​​of the gang’s cultural value, which embodies the little people’s ant-like and desperately struggling survival relationship, and shows the father and daughter between a father and a daughter. A deep story. The movie chooses to use Mel Gibson to interpret the role of the father, which is to fancy the vicissitudes of the heroic twilight in him, especially the stagnation in the career encountered in real life, which can stimulate the role itself to be pale and weak in reality. The interpretation of, coupled with the trouble caused by her daughter, makes this character more full and three-dimensional. It can be seen in the movie that instead of taking the heroic route, but taking the escape route in the opposite direction, the former heroic character was forced to flee around by several gangsters and gangsters. This is the same as Mei El Gibson’s previous film routes were quite different, which fully laid his breakthrough in this film. In this movie, whether it is the role of the father or the role of the daughter, both are more rebellious, that is to say, there is no normal character, the behavior of not dying or not dying led to the beginning of this escape. It also prevents the two people from receiving the sympathy of the audience. It is this kind of abnormal character that represents the cruel life in real life. What the movie wants to make us feel is the scary reality and the salvation of the characters. Of course it’s not the kind of heroism and gratitude we imagined. During the whole process, we saw the relationship between the characters change with the passage of time, and in the whole process, we regained the alienation between father and daughter. Family relationship. Using a journey of escape to restore the relationship between father and daughter, and complete the salvation of the character's soul, this is the purpose of this movie.

The image of Mel Gibson with a big beard completely changed our impression of him. Although he still maintains his usual staunch personality, the image of the accident-sleek and very good-looking person is also vividly displayed in front of us. Once again, the passionate young man who used to be fearless and reckless, has become an old and slippery image of an old fritters. The movie allows us to see his transformation in his role. However, the simple and rude character relationship processing in the movie is obviously much simpler and more straightforward. It discards the usual obscure methods and directly exposes the changes in the relationship between the characters. It is cold and deep, and does not miss the old feelings. This shows the transformation of reality. Cold and helpless, don't think that you can claim what you deserve if you are kind to others. You don't know that under the weight of life, betrayal is a matter of every second. Of course, the main thing in the movie is to show the restoration of the relationship between father and daughter, but it is a pity that Mel Gibson’s consistent personal protagonist characteristics cannot truly show this relationship, especially on the non-stop escape route. The relationship between two people is like the relationship between a man and a man. The relationship between obedience and being obedience does not reflect the love of the father and the obedience of the daughter at all, so the two are more like partners than father and daughter. On the other hand, the daughter actress obviously also has a strong character personality, which is almost as difficult to control as Mel Gibson. Both of them are showing the style of their respective roles, making the connection between the roles appear more indifferent, so in The expression of the father and daughter's feelings is very carefree, making people unable to feel the ups and downs of the characters' feelings. In the end, the emotional sustenance between the two is completely placed on the separation of life and death, but it does not restore much of the emotional scene.

This B-rated film full of modern western style somewhat reminds us of Mel Gibson’s early works, the same violence and brutality, but compared to previous works, the plot of this film is simpler and clearer. There are a lot of plots, not many plots in it, just blindly fighting and killing, quite no fun. We can also see from this movie that Mel Gibson is not a qualified father, and he obviously does not have the ability to be a qualified father. In an environment full of violence and crime, the only thing he can What he did was to pick up a gun to protect himself, more like a savage animal world, where the weak and the strong prey. The movie is a typical French gangster action movie, but its connotation is wrapped in a very humane father-daughter relationship. From the plot, you can experience feelings that are different from the warmth of ordinary people, and more are mixed in cruelty. The indifference and blood in the real atmosphere is this indifference that separates us from the movie, and it seems to be relatively alienated. After all, the story in the movie is too far away from real life, so we can’t feel it. The kind of father-daughter love in the movie, the most important thing is that the things the movie tells are a bit too one-sided and extreme. This kind of magnified processing plot just wants to complete the emotional expression through a series of action scenes, too much One-sided and direct, so we can not have sympathy for the film because there is no emotional resonance point with the film.

As an action movie, I am vengeful with the gangsters in a silly way. I arrange my schedule in minutes and prove the unreliability between my friends through an escape. In the end, I sacrificed my life in order to save my daughter and had to die. To say that a simple gangster action movie contains too many things, it is very straightforward and simple to show, just like the truth, it is short and piercing, but it is useless, since the movie is already Defining the genre as a gangster action movie, why do we want to rectify these messy things? We just want to simply enjoy the fun of fighting and revenge, but we have completely created an imperfect tragedy. The plot of the movie is a little bit. Did you pull too far? Maybe the director just wants to pursue a kind of incomplete beauty, but almost all of the emotional expression of the father and daughter in the movie is a failure. The two characters have distinct personalities but are difficult to come together. The resulting inter-character relationship The estrangement is very big, that is, it is difficult to gather the feelings that the movie wants to pave the way. How can the characters in the movie be driven to show this? It is this kind of movie dominated by action elements and social elements that makes the presence of emotions become minimal. In addition, the action scenes are not clear, not intense or exciting, and there is no way to highlight the characteristics of the movie. Where is the highlight of the movie? Is the movie just for us to see Mel Gibson's beard? I don't think so?
