The earliest sources of American heroism movies are Western movies-fast gunner, duel, a man, kill kill, if you hold a rope in your hand to trap cows and sheep, it will be even more dazzling.
Three or four ambush conflicts, a few duels calling for the audience to climax, and a few rounds of a girl-grabbing game. The story ended in such a cheerful and joyful manner. So it seems, isn't this just the routine of the movies produced by Marvel in recent years?
Of course, just as you can’t expect Lars von Trier to bring you a film that reflects good human nature, you can’t expect a European director with a strong artistic sentiment to make a few moderately satisfactory movies for you, and all three views are in the middle. Movie. Luc Besson's feelings are all falling into the "shallow sea" of Hollywood.
Then let us talk about why this movie is antichrist.
In the United States in 1870, five years after the end of the Civil War, the retired Danish soldier Jon made a living in a small town in the central part of the United States. He went to the town to pick up his wife and son from afar, but when he returned to the country, he ran into the brother of the town tyrant who had just been released from prison. The movie only uses bright tones for the first ten minutes, and then, as night falls, this road home gradually evolves into a road to hell.
On the road in the middle of the night, Jon was kicked out of the car, his wife was raped, and his son was killed. Angrily, he followed the road and ran wildly. When exhausted, he saw his son who was thrown on the side of the road. He held his son's body in grief, caught up with the carriage that had stopped halfway, and furiously killed the two wicked men. At dawn, he returned home with the bodies of his wife and son. He buried his wife and son with his brother. Prepare to pack up, leave this sad place, and go to the west to "gold out".
The pain of losing his wife and child is only the beginning of the story.
Then the villain Delarue appeared. The setting of this character is almost similar to that of the tyrants in ancient Rome. He has a group of thugs (similar to violent machines) under his control, and the mayor and sheriff are like puppets under his control. When the street killed innocent people, the old, the weak and the sick slaughtered for a round, the people in the town dared not speak.
This kind of closed town setting, and the arrangement of the yellow sand in the movie scene, is quite a metaphor for the feeling of the end of the world.
Jon came to the town to find the mayor to sell the deed. He was disguised to lower the price. From the mayor's mouth, he learned that the man he killed was the brother of the town tyrant. Max Mickelson's exquisite interpretation in this dialogue is very wonderful, calmly, a few changes in the eyes interpret the undercurrent of the character's heart. Sure enough, as soon as he went out, the protagonist couldn't jump away, and he was captured by the cowboys led by the sheriff in one round. Several camera transitions, the protagonist’s subjective vision and the switching of the perspective, the scene in ambush on all sides, quite a bit of Kurosawa.
The rest of the story is the style of a western cowboy action movie that is very suitable to watch. It is nothing more than that the protagonist is abused by the villain first, and the good brothers come to the rescue and are successfully rescued, but it also attracts the villain to pursue and kill. As a result, the brother was killed by the enemy in order to save himself. The protagonist combines hatred and anger. After the ability value is restored, he kills the accomplice first, prepares ammunition, and single-handedly kills the thief's den to wipe out the enemy and avenge the hatred. Some westerns are vulgar, and the screenwriters will be easy to favor, so that the protagonist will be beautiful. (How do you feel that this story is not Quentin's strong brother after development.)
And the brilliant and unusual places in the film appear in the setting of the heroine, and the two dialogues between Jon and the sheriff.
In view of the fact that Eva Green is all on the main poster, and the main character's wife is dead within 10 minutes of the film, she should be classified as the heroine, who has not many scenes.
Delarue calls his sister-in-law Princess, and her real name is Madeleine. The earliest source of the name Madeleine is Marie Madeleine. The Chinese translation is Mary Magdalene. She is the first disciple of Jesus in the New Testament. It is said that Madeleine was possessed by demons. Jesus removed 7 demons from her and then began to follow Jesus. There are also legends that she was controlled by the devil and engaged in skin and flesh business to satisfy the devil.
Back to the story, Delarue's brother disfigured Madeleine, cut her tongue, and raped her. While Delarue went out to chase the escaped Jon, Madeleine took advantage of the chaos to escape, but was unfortunately chased back by Delarue, and was gang-raped by his thugs before being executed. In the climax of the film, Jon washed the thieves’ den with blood and saved Madeleine in distress by chance. When Jon and Delarue were at a disadvantage, she appeared in time to help Jon reverse the situation. And then took the initiative to put down the gun in his hand, willing to follow Jon.
The two conversations between Jon and the sheriff are also very suggestive. The first time Jon was caught by the sheriff, talking in the cell. The sheriff who maintains the safety of the town knows well that Delarue is a bully. He just has to wait for an opportunity to eradicate this cancer, but before that time, only some people can sacrifice. And this person is Jon. The second time, after the tumor was removed, the sheriff brought a team to Delarue's site, sighing, after waiting for so many years, waiting for one day, there will be a force to get rid of the bully Delarue, I did not expect Jon Just one person killed all these people. I also questioned why Jon didn't kill Madeleine, and prepared to shoot this remnant. Jon and Madeleine put guns at the sheriff and told the sheriff that she would follow them and let the group get out of the site. After that, the two of them rode their horses to the west.
At the end of the movie, the camera zoomed out, and the ruins of Delarue turned into kowtow machines stepping on oil.
The Salvation, in religion, means saving the soul from sin.
In the small city in the middle of Huangsha Juantian, only violence can be exchanged for a moment of salvation. That so-called violent machine, no matter how indestructible it looks, makes everyone terrified. Sometimes, a needle can bring down an iron curtain.
After watching some interviews with this film, the film was set in South Africa. With limited funds, a large part of it relies on computer special effects to set off the scenes. For this reason, most of the film screens will be adjusted in order to match the tones of these scenes. The feeling of excessive color.
