"Green Lantern": Existence must be reasonable

I always think that bad movies shouldn't exist. They are worthless except for making industrial garbage and making complaints for the audience. It should be noted that the rottenness of the rotten film is absolute, it does not require comparison and reference, and the quality of the rotten film can show that the "good" and "deadable" films are also rotten films in an absolute dimension. The goodness of a good movie is absolute, but each has its own goodness.

The scary thing about "Green Lantern" is that it made me start to rethink this issue. Bad films may really be rare by some viewers. The Green Lantern group advocates a kind of utopian justice and absolute correctness, putting aside complex emotions and characters, and introducing the simplest sense of mission of heaven. In China, this is the traditional arena. In the United States, this is an interstellar war. All are fairy tales in essence. Idealistic things are very ridiculous, but it is undeniable that a pure personality will be attracted by this exaggerated force. For example, Sheldon in "The Big Bang Theory". The reason why I am more difficult to understand may be because our country does not have its own comic culture, and our heroism complex is dedicated to the red classics of the special period.

Hal Jordan is the "greatest one" among the many Green Lanterns in the history of comics. In fact, apart from the title of Green Lantern, the pilot's job is enough to make fans envy. Except for the perfunctory scenes and climax battles (there seems to be no melee scenes at all), and the obvious "think out and tell out" that the complex promotes, the conception and production of the entire film is quite satisfactory, Ryan • Reynolds and Blake Lively represent the positive role selection principles of this genre: very good-looking and completely featureless-in order to meet the expectations of the largest audience. "Green Lantern" is closer to the heroic model of "Superman" in my list of almost exhausted "Heroic Movies". It's just that the modern adaptation model focuses more on the growth process of the rookie, and the apprentice model is a classic Hollywood dish. Although this process of ordinary people suddenly turning green did not give me a little sense of substitution, and the idea of ​​wanting to substitute. I still admire his innocence when he charged up to the green light and showed off his "dominantly exposed" to his good friends. This is a public hero, so exaggeration is not so hypocritical, it's just... exaggeration.

Blake Lively is one of my favorite female celebrities. When scanning "Gossip Girl", I am often surprised by the outfit. It's a pity that most of her current roles are in this tune, and the embellishment is very strong. . In general, "Green Lantern" is a fan movie that sells money in 3D. If you have a lot of boring time and don't know how to pass it, then it may not be a bad choice.
