this movie, it can be regarded as a model for the main theme of the film. As a liberal, a dystopian literature lover, a Chinese who grew up watching Hollywood with popcorn, I am tall. I was brainwashed happily, and contributed to the box office twice in two days without hesitation.
Why is the US team so attractive? I don't want to talk about so many deep issues, what is the reason why the United States is because of this or that.
Let me just talk about the spirit of the US team. On the surface, the US team represents the most traditional spiritual values of the United States-people have, people enjoy, govern by the people, everyone is free, born equal, and gifted with human rights. If you want to see more, go to the U.S. Constitution or the Communist Manifesto. In fact, things are not that big of a difference.
The villain in this film is a system worth thinking about. Why is it a system? Because there is not a villain in a fancy tights and a superhero in the street with each other (the Winter Soldier only has one arm to be considered as fancy), the villain is a group of people, and a large number of them will appear every few decades. Lunatic-a group of people who deliberately change the way of life of the vast majority of people in the world and the existing development model of civilization through personal or technological power.
When we watched the movie, we naturally thought of Prism Gate, Snowden, and so on. If a set of weapons or a set of systems, after activation, can kill anyone you want to kill at any time, with precise strikes, without hurting innocents, and you happen to be the "majority" protected by this system, what do you think? Of course, you only need to pay an extra 200 yuan in tax, but if there is another prerequisite for this, you must hand over all your privacy, all information, what kind of underwear you wear tonight, and what position will you use to have sex with your lover tomorrow. , Last week you used your working hours to buy the stocks of two competitor companies, you have no doubt exposed, of course, they also promised that all this is to protect you.
You were angry for a while. You said that you don't need this kind of protection. Then, the terrorists crossed the Great Wall and came to you. Do you need this kind of protection? Then you accept. Congress passed the "Patriot Act." The Prism project has penetrated into all corners of the Internet. Terrorism has been thwarted time and time again, but in reality, sniper rifles and drones are used instead of aerospace aircraft carriers. .
At this time, Snowden appeared, and Captain America also appeared.
Of course I support Snowden, because I support Captain America, but I also support the Prism project, because what the Prism protects is Snowden’s rights and opportunities to expose it. And S.H.I.E.L.D., it is also protecting people like Captain America.
The U.S. team believes that if someone is guilty and then punished, if someone blows up the World Trade Center, of course we should go to Afghanistan to hunt down and destroy him, but if someone threatens to blow up the World Trade Center, we must not follow the Prism plan or Aegis in advance. A certain project of the bureau went to screen the privacy of thousands of innocent people to find the target-check the water meter, clear it at designated points, whatever you say will do.
But in fact, we have discovered such a problem-as ordinary people, can we only fight back after the bad guys have hurt us?
Therefore, the Prism Gate and S.H.I.E.L.D. are ultimately a reluctant choice in reality.
Captain America is still a beautiful vision, a strong and perfect personality that can be wiped out before the threat comes. This seems not to conflict with Prism Gate and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mysterious plan, but this is a good person carrying out the plan. ——"Captain, how do we distinguish between the good and the bad." "The one who shoots you is the bad." Straightforwardly, across the board, where does the confidence of the US team come from? Because the US team is a high-quality person, he is brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, he is extremely dedicated in life, and he looks super damn handsome in movies. Of course, such a perfect person can be called a good person.
So, you shoot a good guy-of course you are a bad guy, just like north in all directions at the South Pole.
The true spirit of the US team is actually the same as the US that the US wants to tell the American people. The US, or the US team, are doing their best to defend order and uphold justice. This is the main theme of the United States. It may be precisely because of the superhero cartoons that the United States will have two young people like Snowden.
For the same thing, if a good person does it, he becomes a superhero, and if a group of people is changed, he becomes Prism Gate, Hydra. In fact, you will find that there is no difference at all. The Anti-De Qi Xia once again sprinkled the American theme all over the world in a subtle way, and it was more deeply embedded in my brain.
