The perfect fighter and the failed commander

First, dispel the misunderstanding: the perfect fighter and the failed commander refer to the same person, and he is the commander of the Earth Front of Pandora, Miles Quaritch. I know that after appreciating a work of art, especially a masterpiece like Avatar, there are often many people who will pursue the villain. This is because the villain is usually the most deadly and performs insidiously and is a personal hero. The misunderstanding caused by the illusion of doctrine brings pleasure. On the other hand, the weakness of human nature inevitably produces a psychological tendency to yield to the strong, but we support Colonel Miles Quaritch simply because he is really good.

As a fighter, Colonel Miles has solid basic skills and rich combat experience. He is fierce, determined, decisive, brave, fearless, loyal to his mission, and has no mercy; he can be in the air, on the ground, in the cabin, in the jungle, Fight in a variety of environments; he can make the most correct decision in a second. He made only one mistake in the whole film. Although this mistake killed him, it did not conceal his excellent performance of more than 30 minutes. All this proves that Colonel Miles Quaritch is an excellent fighter.

I think anyone who has watched this film will be impressed by the following highlights about Colonel Miles:

When Trudy Chacon flew out of the plane, Colonel Miles chased out after hearing the news, took the guard’s rifle and fired it quickly. , Calmly drew out the pistol, and fired out the pistol bullets in a standard posture at a constant speed. At this time, we noticed that he was in a severe hypoxia environment, holding his breath to complete the above-mentioned work. If you watch the film, of course you will not forget the consequences of these bullets.

Jake's Avatar made a classicist mistake when he jumped onto the flagship to throw a grenade: He tried to say a final word to Miles, but Miles found out. Colonel Miles made a decision in less than 1 second and performed a clean and wonderful operation, which not only minimized the loss, but also almost succeeded in killing Jake. It can be analyzed from this action that Miles is proficient in driving, knows the consequences of this action and can use it wisely and skillfully, so he is a fighting genius who is raised as a bitch.

Of course, as an all-around fighter, in addition to flying a plane, he also drives a stupid thing similar to Mobile Suit, we can also call it a robot. Since he entered the robot, his combat career reached the peak. He leaped into the car with flames and smoke, left the mothership at the best time, landed steadily on the ground and immediately started fighting. From the moment Jake threw a grenade to his flagship, he has repeatedly experienced unimaginable dangers and survived from desperation and this is not based on the unreliable things of luck, but on rich experience and calm mind. , Strong physique and superb skills. In the final battle, he was like the masked murderer in the "Jason" series, standing in the jungle as a Reaper who could not kill him. Mr. James Cameron is acting a bit stingy here, he shouldn't be so stingy to shoot up the lens and backlight.

The ending of Colonel Miles Quaritch (damn how he was just a Colonel) ended as everyone had guessed. This is not only the fate of the negative No. 1 character, but also the reason why I didn't click the "key plot to reveal". On the other hand, this is also one of the main arguments for the "failed commander" argument I mentioned at the beginning-as a fighter, he is almost impeccable. In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, he also shows incomparable. With a firm will, he despises enemies and hates traitors; he never considers righteousness, nature, balance and other bullshit things, he just shows a kind of dignity and belief of "I am a human being on earth, so I do things for people on earth". Unfortunately, he is a "failed commander." Excellent tactics cannot save the crudeness of strategy. In an era when Oorah is still the mantra of American soldiers, in an era where humans have already jumped to a distant planet with six or seven satellites, they still use ballistics that don’t seem so sci-fi. In the age of weapons, he obviously shouldn’t forget that, hundreds of years ago (maybe decades, who knows), his ancestors had encountered the Neville in a place very similar to the environment of Pandora. There was a similar enemy and an unexpected fiasco that I would be ashamed to mention for thousands of years. Fortunately, they were not Koreans, so they would not tamper with the textbooks yet. That place was called Vietnam.

Of course, this is a science fiction film, visual film, epic film, whatever film, so we don't have to worry about strategy. So here is one-the only one-tactical problem: Just like Jake at the moment before dropping the grenade, Miles made a classicist mistake: he tried to say a Final Words to Jake, and as a result, he died. NS.

Fortunately, in general, his death has brought pleasure to the vast majority of the audience. Obviously, the minority who supported him like me were not very angry about it because we respected our destiny and obeyed the arrangement. The mentality was good from the beginning. . While I was shocked that you had finished reading such a large piece of so-called film reviews that did not talk about any "structure", "techniques", or "film history", I can also proudly declare that this is a useful article because it , You will not be completely attracted by the epic film that has been surpassed for the first time since 1977, the luxurious scene that has been overwhelmed for the first time since 2001, and the magnificent picture that has been witnessed for the first time in the history of mankind. Wonderful role, his name is Miles Quaritch, and the actor is Stephen Lang. So, click "Useful".
