Most commercial films have similar characteristics with tertiary films, or from another perspective, tertiary films are the purest commercial films. For example, a few years ago, when my little brothers and I watched "Jin Ping Mei" together, it was not to lament the tragedy of fate and to realize the cycle of cause and effect. Our main purpose is to watch Yang Simin and Shan Liwen's lingering and tangling scenes. The other processes, roles, and cause and effect are like small dishes between the main dishes, so that you are not lonely and the taste is not so single. In the same way, many commercial films have the same meaning: the director mainly shows us good-looking actor bodies, gorgeous and remote scenery, a few cool lines that are just right, and Dingguang five-four-one hits. Then we guess for ourselves, which character will die except the protagonist. What adorns these big scenes is all kinds of side dishes.
Commercial films, that's what it means: clear purpose, clear positioning, and find people and elements according to the positioning. The plots are vulgar and professional. The story doesn’t even need to be so beautiful, it’s good to just barely justify it in the end.
This film is just such a...It is said that the third-level film is not suitable, but it is actually a third-level film. It’s just that: ordinary three-level movies are concentrated on the male and female protagonists to ignite the scene; interspersed with other plots; this film is the love between Van Diesel and Donnie Yen, oh no, the passion is overflowing, and it is also hitting a plane and hitting a satellite; interspersed with all kinds of leisure Side dishes.
——Samuel Jackson every time he babbles and talks about reason, even if he doesn’t talk any more, I’m still happy to listen to it. Is this the result of "Pulp Fiction" brainwashing me for 20 years? Even if he died suddenly, I am not too worried. Probably he is used to the suspended animation of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Of course it is also due to his charm: Jackson’s every move has reached this level: "I also know that you are not new to this role you play, and you don't take my exaggerated body language seriously, so just smile a little", This subtle self-mockery and his tilted posture, like a real old man, made people feel relaxed.
——Ruby Rose combed her blue hair and the character's name is Adele. People who have watched "The Life of Adele" will laugh. And: She smiled evilly when she aimed her gun, which always made me feel like I was playing a game.
-Neymar. Real Neymar. Neymar with a silly smile on his face. This is to win Barcelona and Brazil fans.
——Wu Yifan and Donnie Yen play the role of the Asian version of Neymar.
——Oh, by the way, Donnie Yen is very suitable for this kind of "uninhibited, a little evil smile, the opening looks like a bad guy, but in fact it is not that simple" guy.
——Nina Dobrev wears beautiful glasses. She outfitted everyone with a very ambiguous part, the kind of girl who "why did you stick to me so close? What can you do if you accidentally slip into my arms".
——Hermione Cofield is also beautiful. The whole body shot that got up from the swimming pool is in place. It's just that she treats the protagonist's unwillingness to touch her ears, agreeing and panting, which is kind of tickling and uncomfortable...Oh yes, this feeling is like Lin Chiling in "Lin Chiling in Fuchun Mountain".
—— Colombian Miss Andrea Gutierrez is very generous. I can't say more about how generous it is.
-Padukone is beautiful. It's the kind of beauty where after seeing her, you will feel that the other girls in the whole film look similar, only her silhouette is very clear.
——These people, both men and women, are all infected by Van Diesel's male hormones. how to say? Seeing them approaching and talking, I always have the illusion that "Van Diesel is going to take the opposite person to bed in the next second."
But the world is progressing somewhat. Fifteen years ago, Van Diesel played Eastern Europeans and Italian girls. It was all about Europe and the United States. Thanks to globalization, in 2017, Van Diesel was surrounded by Indian beauty Padukone, Bulgarian glasses girl Dobrev, Australian girl Ruby Rose, and British girl Cofield. The girls are all bold and capable of turning away from the client. There are also many gestures in the arms, and good buddy Donnie Yen. Globalization is so good that Trump is pissed off.
Back to Van Diesel.
The official translation of the title is called "The Return of Cage". Since Aragorn's "The Return of the King", the current trilogy likes to return. The general plot is also the same: the old guy wants to retire, but he can't retire, he still has to come out to save the world after all.
The "Xtreme Agent" series can be seen as the "First Blood" of Van Diesel's solo show. He and the old Stallone’s Rambo have the following similarities: muscular men, full of hormones, they are both guns and sticks to save the world, and they are all private jobs-Rambo plays mercenaries in the jungle guerrillas, Fan- Agent Dieselgan. And, they all think about retreating to the world at any time, but they can't do it.
The difference is that Van Diesel has a hormonal atmosphere abandoned by the world, or to put it another way, he has a bit of Jiang Wen and Huang Qiusheng's aura. I have been through it. I am not stingy, occasionally talk ridiculous, not salty and not salty, with a smile that laughs at myself or mocks others at the corner of my mouth. When I get excited, I will do it, and the woman or the opponent will directly insist on it.
So when watching this movie, occasionally I would be stunned and felt that Van Diesel and the guy he played, this Cage, merged together. The world is changing fast, right buddy? Van Diesel himself is almost 50 years old. Fifteen years ago, I was fighting and killing bad guys in Europe and the United States. Now I am fast and passionate in globalization, working as agents all over the world. In the two dialogues between him and Samuel Jackson about retirement, I smacked a little bit of desolation.
Fortunately, it's not so sad.
Samuel Jackson said that life is all about beating bad guys and beauties, trying to be as cool as possible. The first two sentences are nonsense, and the last one is the real essence of the film. The film is constantly flowing with the glories of the past and the present and today, trying to provoke the tired soul. Legends are a thing of the past, and Van Diesel is also a little old; time passes and nothing remains. How to do it? Fight and kill, and try to be as cool as possible.
In the penultimate scene, Diesel leaned on the broken car, looked up at the sky, and said, "I will think of a new way." But this is actually the midlife crisis of superheroes.
The so-called bravery in life (and secondary 2) means that in the face of a middle-aged crisis, when everything is trivial to meaningless, and at a loss to know what to do, choose to take a step forward, and then try to be as cool as possible?
