Kick Ass, the disillusionment of a superhero dream (with spoilers)

In a dim alley, a little boy dressed in red stood on a garbage container nearly two meters high, greeted his companion coolly, and jumped off. "Oh, it hurts," he screamed, even staggering a few times.
This trailer of Kick Ass often wakes me up during the nap while waiting for the movie to be shown. It can be seen from this trailer that this film is nothing more than a story about a child who has a dream of a superhero but loses the cruelty of reality, and finally strives to eliminate evil in one fell swoop. I look forward to this kind of script.
To be honest, watching movie posters, especially when Nicho is in his 40s, he still has to do this kind of Batman costume, combined with the nondescript superhero appearance of the other three kids, I just treat it as a youth It's a hilarious movie. But in the process of watching the movie, the endless bloody pictures and the cruel reality shocked me. You know, during the spring break, I watched the crazies without changing my face and heartbeat, despite the fact that the classmate next to me turned pale in fright, and covered his eyes with his hands.
So why is it said that this movie exposes the cruelty of reality, let me give you a list. Superhero dreams, to be honest, who hasn't had it? Seeing the series of heroic appearances of Hit Girl after getting out of the elevator, I also hope that I can use a rope to kill the demons. Don't laugh when you say it, the silver ring of the little dragon girl is still my favorite to this day. But for Kick Ass, that's something that can't be done at all. The first time a knight was fighting righteousness, I was stabbed by someone. Although I knew that the blood was fake, I was a little surprised that the scene was so real in a "youth" movie. Then the second time Kick Ass saw injustices and drew cudgels to help, it was a very miserable beating. If it weren't for the blood, the mobile phones in the hands of the crowd, and the sound of police sirens from afar, I think The ending of Kick Ass should not deviate from the first time. After waiting for the third time, Kick Ass wanted to help the beloved girl out of the wicked’s clutches, and actually single-handedly killed the wicked’s base camp. That time, if it weren’t for the sudden appearance of Hit Girl, I think Kick Ass would also shout "Eighteen years later, or Big words like "a good man", if he can speak Chinese. The protagonist’s three experiences all highlight that he is just an ordinary person and has a dream of justice. Do you want to be a superhero? It's not impossible, you have to receive long-term training, you have to have a lot of money at home. What, nonsense, you don’t need money to buy bullets, and you don’t need to change the gun if it’s broken? Instead of just putting on a set of tights, and carrying two recyclable short sticks on your back, you can jump from one roof to another roof a few meters away, and you can do free fall from a billboard a few meters above the ground. thing.
It does make sense to explain the irrationality of superheroes from the perspective of Kick Ass, but what about Big Daddy and Hit Girl? Needless to say, Big Daddy was a police officer before, Hit Girl also received strict training from her father since she was a child. In our words, the two can be regarded as martial arts masters hiding in the city. But even the masters have weaknesses and panic. Watching Big Daddy panic when he witnessed his daughter being shot and then falling from the building, Hit Girl lost more than a dozen enemies in the dark, so much so that her father's attention was needed to wipe out the enemy. Even at the end of the fight to the final boss, he still had to hide under the cabinet to avoid bullets, and was knocked to the ground when singled out the boss. After all, she is just an 11-year-old girl. No matter how strong you are, you can't beat a man in his 40s, so you can see that Hit Girl borrows more tools to subdue the enemy in the movie. You are a superhero, okay, you have one enemy against one hundred, won't you? Then there is one enemy and one thousand, no matter what, you will always be exhausted and run out of ammunition and food.
In terms of plot, the cruelty of this "youth" film is that it does not conceal the truth of the bloody scene. The iron pliers cut his fingers, the microwave room bursts people, Hit Girl doesn’t know what construction tools he manipulates to crush a car and the driver in the car into meatloaf, Hit Girl’s throat is broken, and the scene of a pistol headshot reminds me that this is not pure The youth film is not the so-called illusion that the opponents are wiped out at the fingertips, but is a real fight. To be honest, when Kick Ass and Bid Daddy were besieged in the live webcast, I was still frightened when I watched the iron-finger tiger between the wicked’s fingers and the bat poking the egg. Do you want to be a superhero, then you have to learn to endure all this, at least like Hit Girl, seeing the pie-shaped car and the people in the car, you must be able to sneer and turn away.
As an American high school student, Dave is not typical, but it is enough to represent a certain type. He likes to read comics, watch porn on the Internet, jack off as a pastime when he is idle, and looks at the cleavage of his forty-year-old teacher in get out of class. Fancying, after class, he still said that he actually likes girls of the same age. I wonder if this line is alluding to the actor who played Dave himself? (Note 1) Usually, this kind of people can easily fall into the dream of superheroes woven from comics.

Note 1: In reality, Aaron Johnson has been engaged to the 41-year-old female director, and Fengzi was married because the director was already a month pregnant. When I saw this news in the United Kingdom on Christmas, the editor later commented that Aaron wanted to climb up through the director. Otherwise, how could a 19-year-old like a woman who was two rounds of his own? To be honest, when I was watching the news, I thought, this little boy, did you catch the director? (He wears a suit and his hair is combed back, which is really greasy. This is a compliment!) If you count Demi Moore and Ashton Kucher, at least Demi is still a generation of sexy goddess. If you want to evaluate, I would definitely say that the director was born like an intellectual woman. But now it seems that the relationship between the two has come true. Looking at Aaron's recent photos, I deliberately dressed up to be mature. Is it to match the image of his wife? I still like the way he looks in the youthful erotic kiss. He is really handsome, but now he is also very handsome with short hair and nympho. Watching the movie, Dave never imagined that he was so different from the deity. In fact, the difference between the scene and the scene is only a pair of glasses and a slightly messy black hair, plus a slightly unpretentious dress, but I didn’t expect it to be A handsome guy became a geek.
