model of the American spirit /literary
Americans are good at creating heroic characters. Most of the brave characters in comics appear on the screen one by one. They may be powerful, or save the world in danger. Each hero has a different division of labor, and will not appear in the same era or on different screens at the same time. In other words: those who know Spider-Man may not know the Green Hornet, and those who know Superman may not know Captain America. But there is no doubt that most of the superheroes we know are from the same cartoonist, his name is Stan Lee (Stan Lee).
"Captain America" lived in an environment during the Second World War of the last century. The pattern and ecology of war and peace brought to society were very different. The coldness and cruelty of war often made people doubt their beliefs. This comic is Stan Lee’s first comic work in the true sense. He used realistic and vivid brushstrokes to portray the great wisdom and bravery of "Captain America", thus making this image a symbol of the American spirit.
The movie tells about the process of Captain America joining the army. At first he was eliminated because he was short and weak and failed the medical examination four times, but his bravery finally impressed the doctors in the army, specially approved him to join the army, and accepted the experiment of super power to grow into one. A tall and burly soldier who was named "Captain America" and was active on the stage of the propaganda team. At first, the posturing and showing his legs would only provoke ridicule, but when he single-handedly saved 400 from the Nazis When there were multiple fighters, these ridicules were swept away. He also stepped onto the social stage and became a true fighter and hero.
The big villain "Red Skull", who has always opposed Captain America in comic books, also appeared as a Nazi this time. The blue chemical weapon is absolutely amazing. Once it hits the human body, it disappears like a nuclear bomb, and even a trace of smoke. Nothing left. However, Captain America still honestly used the symbol in his hand: a metal shield depicting the American flag against the opponent. His perseverance is similar to this shield. The Americans have to make a fuss about even such a hard and invulnerable shield. From the explanation of the movie, when the small and frail Captain of America rebelled against the street villains, he was right. The trash can cover is easily handled as a cover, and the shield is like an upgraded version of the trash can cover. The hero, shield, and spirit are all three bodies in one, echoing each other.
Movies on the theme of World War II are often cold and terrifying, but what is transmitted is the warmth of human nature. "Captain America" created this situation, but it brought out a science fiction color, so that the original cold feeling suddenly disappeared, and there was a vigorous atmosphere of leading. There are many plots in the film that pay tribute to some American musicals of the last century, and even the shots are based on that era, such as Captain America single-handedly, the transition and splicing of scenes that broke through many levels, as well as him and the military. The exaggerated performances of the girls on the stage, etc., completely swept away the suppression of the World War II theme, making the film a dreamlike comfort.
At that time, I was watching a 3D movie, but I really didn’t feel much of the effect of a 3D movie. For a few times, I wondered if blurring the background and protruding the subject is the so-called 3D? As a result, when I asked my friends who went to the movie to see their opinions, I felt that it was really unnecessary to wear glasses, because the explosion shots and sci-fi scenes were not particularly novel. But those animated 3D effects from DreamWorks or Pixar are more impactful.
