When I first saw the trailer of "Bravin", I was immediately full of expectations for this movie, wow! Grab someone and shoot at the table, wow! The bow and arrow shoot through, wow! Throwing axe, wow! Tiger claw sword showdown, wow! Red-hot pliers chuck...For viewers who like violent action movies, such as me, I will naturally add it to the expectation list without hesitation.
After the film started, it really surprised me. The opening of the North American winter is vast, vast, and wild, combined with the soundtrack, and full of atmosphere. Action movies rarely have such a literary opening. To be honest, the beginning of this paragraph reminds me of the BBC documentary film that the teacher showed us during the previous training.
With the fall of a tree, the movie begins to introduce the protagonist's family through daily life. In general, it is an ordinary and cozy family of four. The protagonist Joe, played by Jason Momoa, is an ordinary lumberjack. The lumberjack is characterized by being strong, accompany with the wilderness and playing tricks with axe, but the protagonist is still an ordinary person in the final analysis. Wolverine has also worked as a lumberjack. In fact, many of the characters with stunts in the film will appear as ordinary people. Then, due to an opportunity, the protagonist of "The Eunuch" was a salesperson at first, and the protagonist of "Uncle" It started as a pawnshop owner. This setting explains why the protagonist was able to proficiently fight bad guys looking for teeth. But Joe is really ordinary. From the bar fight, it can be seen that the protagonist's combat effectiveness is not "I want to fight ten", he is just a civilian with outstanding fighting ability. Then such "ordinary", in the face of a powerful enemy, naturally cannot rely on pure "power" to overwhelm the opponent, and must rely on "wisdom" or "cooperation", this is comparable to simple "beating" and "shooting" "More enjoyable.
In the first half of "The Daily Life of the Protagonist's Home", I also found a few foreshadowings (I thought so at the time). The most important thing is the old man suffering from intermittent amnesia, hesitating on the streets at night, and not recognizing his granddaughter in the hospital. These two passages make people sad. The setting of intermittent amnesia brings bitterness to a happy family environment and stimulates the emotional collision between father and son. In addition, I think this can also be a risk factor in the development of the story. Think about it, how would it behave if it happened during a battle? Regardless of the enemy and us, chasing your son to fight? Put yourself or your family in danger at a critical moment? When will it happen?
When Lori appeared, she hid in a tree and was discovered. Then she hid in the trunk. If she didn't show up on her own initiative, the protagonist would not be able to find it. This is a hidden skill MAX! So when I saw the villain search for Loli who went up the mountain to call for help, I very much doubted that there would be a "peek-and-see" that would make people sweaty palms...
As a result, I found myself really over-interpreting...
The protagonist is not ordinary, the sixth sense is super strong, and he changes his way to kill drug dealers, as if killing is commonplace. The key is to see a large pack of drugs out of thin air in his forest hut, and find that his forest hut is surrounded by a group of heavily armed guys. When my colleague was shot headshot, etc., he was able to calmly and calmly deal with things like Poi. I just want to ask, where are the ordinary lumberjacks who laid the groundwork at the beginning? Brother Qiao, why are you so skilled? ! Are you sure you haven't fought a war in the past few years, have never been a terrorist, have never killed a gang?
Then, what I thought was a "foreshadowing" and yelled in my brain, but none of it happened...
Let’s talk about the second half of the battle with drug dealers. From the action scene, it’s ordinary and not very exciting. Maybe it’s because the settings of both sides are not professional combatants. Although the drug dealers’ weapons are very sophisticated, Although the protagonist's killing skills are perfect. Some shots and plots were not handled as expected. During the fight between the protagonist and the bearded man, when the quad bike rushed out, the appearance of the sea (lake?) was too abrupt. The previous shots had always been the fight on the flat ground in the woods. The final BOSS battle is a bit inexplicable, especially the final kill, which is not only a dumbfounding but also admiration for the screenwriter's brains.
Generally speaking, the movie literary drama is far better than the martial arts, but as an action movie, the violent scenes and flat battles almost finished in the trailer can't make the movie stand out.
Postscript: The first time I wrote a film review, I didn't expect it to be this movie, because I was too much looking forward to it, there is a kind of helplessness to shoot myself in the foot. When I was writing, my favorite movie "The Eunuch" appeared in my mind from time to time, but I just mentioned it because I didn't want to write a comparison. Looking forward to "The Eunuch 2" and "Aquaman".
