People are more eager for superheroes when they hear of economic depression. After brushing "Mei Team 2" twice, I have a deep understanding of this psychological phenomenon, or the phenomenon of movie box office. The "Plastic Surgery Diary", which was released at the same time, also under the banner of "Little Girl Movie", Bai Baihe did not know why he became the spokesperson of "Green Tea Bitch" after "33 Days of Broken Relationship". In other words, my dear audience friends have begun to get tired of the chicks who always seem to be justified.
During the exam, I was very pessimistic and said that our top priority now is not to cultivate how many "chicks", but to design what kind of love the chicks have. It is not so much that the audience is willing to watch "chick", it is that they hope to find another way of love, temporarily forgetting all kinds of intimacy that are difficult to engage in reality. So the decline of the little girl movie didn't come suddenly. In a rapidly changing society, people are always looking for a way of salvation. The chick is not Prozac, but an anesthetic. With the collapse of the image of a good man in the article, I believe that the "33-day" movie will soon decline.
Yesterday, I read a teacher’s Weibo. He said that if Huang Feihong is re-created, he should also use the "Captain America" model. He made a lot of sense. The birth of the American team, like Huang Feihong, shoulders the important task of rebuilding nationalism. When the people are disappointed in the regime, an all-powerful leader must appear. This is not a manifestation of Stalinism, but the human subconscious is at work. There is no person who is not afraid of being abandoned, even those who take the initiative to marginalize, are also in the process of marginalization, looking for a small group to which they should belong. Not only the Chinese people need collectivism to survive, but the American people need it even more. Captain America with a bee-like waist and big breasts, including the Avengers, is the helmsman who guides the sea.
The Avengers is really a place where socially marginalized characters are concentrated, and all heroes in it have personalities or backgrounds that are difficult to be accepted by the society. In other words, almost every hero lives on the margins of society. Nolan’s Batman directly reveals the psychological shadows of marginalized people in society, which makes this series of "Batman" not a triumphant song in the main theme of the United States.
"Captain America" is a true spokesperson for the main theme of the United States, and you can see one or two things from the title of him. He is not a "chivalrous man" nor a "person", but a national civil servant, and at the same time a spokesperson for a spirit that was once forgotten by American society and now urgently needs to be awakened. Well, we shouldn't dwell on this, but is this not what most American hero movies advocate?
Huang Feihong and the captain are still quite different. First of all, Huang Feihong does not have a teammate like a god. Fang Jiasu cannot be 1V5. The Thirteenth Aunt is not a black widow. In the late Qing Dynasty when productivity was very low, he could only fight against foreign devils. Secondly, Huang Feihong’s nationalist plot was too much. Seriously, in the anti-Japanese drama that continues to this day, we still can’t rationally treat the reality of “being beaten when backward, and reading more for ugly people”. The new "national heroes" movies seem to want to be youth idols, to dig out the characters' history, and replace their greatest fighting charm with irrelevant feelings, growth, inspiration... I can only say that they are not afraid of gods. The same interpretation, I am afraid that the pig will be adapted.
As I said before, good commercial movies are full of male power, such as "Let the Bullets Fly". Zhang Mazi actually meets the standards of heroes in American movies-wit and brave, funny and humorous, a stunt, romantic and rich...hero movies are not purely designed for men at all (I heard that many men still don’t like to watch heroes. Movies, really... Don’t give up treatment, ah), isn’t the captain’s childlike breasts the capital of attracting women? Isn't the fist-fighting androgen a routine that makes women fascinated? Ambiguous male-male relationship (hehe) is not a psychedelic medicine for the empty souls of older young women? Yes, the male hero images on the screen are all powerful aphrodisiacs, for female audiences, and even more for this boring world.
Looking at domestic movies, we have always been absent from an image of a male hero that can be easily obtained. We seem to have been committed to softening and even dwarfing the male power in society, letting weird chicks, female men and even "green tea bitches" save the world. "Havoc in Heaven" didn't bring Monkey King back to life, but became a joke that burned after reading; "Fuchunshan Habitat" didn't make Andy Lau become the Chinese brother Tom, but indirectly ruined everyone's goodwill for Huang Gongwang; last week The farce of the article is to tear off the face of the "good man". Of course, we cannot rely on external forces to change our three views. A few pieces of entertainment news, a few logs on QQ space madly forwarded, and a few "Proverbs of Love" are often scams. What? Do you believe it? Ok.
The symbolic meaning of the US team is enough to make all domestic main theme movies kneel and lick. Behind the US team is a mature industry that is beyond our reach, and it is a manifestation of a country's long-term self-confidence. But I don't believe that by recreating national heroes such as Huang Feihong, Ye Wen, and Huo Yuanjia who beat foreign devils, we can win any box office and word-of-mouth miracles. After all, the age is different. The newly emerging young audiences are anti-authoritative and anti-collective, although they may not know what they are anti-or why they are anti-group, just because it is cool to do so. It is difficult for traditional heroes born in a time of national crisis to form a dialogue relationship with the current market. It is even more difficult to dig forward and go back to ancient times. If you don't believe it, please watch the ancient costume blockbusters wrestling one after another.
We need the US team. We now need the positive values exported by the United States. These are all tonics, which are very suitable for Chinese audiences who are exhausted and exhausted. The US team is also a mirror, allowing us to see the faults in this country that have not had time to repair. The US team is confident and masculine, and "confident masculinity" is already a visual spectacle for us.
So is it a good movie that exposes this fault? not necessarily. "Destined to Heaven" seems to be exposing this fault, and all works of the young and the poor also seem to be exposing this fault, and "realism" seems to be exposing this fault even more. But you have to know that film is a huge capital industry, and it is also a work that depends on "faith". Either you have money (the United States) or you have faith (Iran, etc.), neither of them, just by lip service. It's silly and naive.
So, instead of believing that "Heaven is Destined" is describing your current state of existence, it is better to follow in the footsteps of Captain America and move forward courageously. After all, it is not that you will hide, and the world will compromise with you.
