As a film in 2011, "The Raid" has passed 9 years so far, and it cannot be said that it can stand the test of time, but now it seems that, except for the slightly blurred picture quality, I personally think it is quite satisfactory in other aspects. It cannot be regarded as a classic production, but it has indeed opened up a new film mode - pure violence aesthetics.
There is still a certain difference between pure violence aesthetics and violent aesthetics; movies with violent aesthetics will also pay attention to plot and emotional rendering. The most typical one is the director represented by John Woo. John Woo's films mainly contain two factors: romanticism and violent aesthetics. , these two factors are that he is based in the film industry; but the pure violence aesthetics simply wins by action, and is relatively indifferent in terms of plot and other aspects. "The Raid" is such a movie.
"The Raid" simply tells the story of a SWAT team who went deep into the drug lord's lair in order to crusade against the drug lord, and then encountered an ambush.
The plot of the film is extremely simple. The main attraction is the Indonesian action design in the film, coupled with the fast, accurate and ruthless Muay Thai, giving fans more bloody visual effects and senses. But from the perspective of the core, I personally feel that the film does not reflect the deep core, which is fatal because it cannot resonate emotionally with the audience. Even if fans applaud after watching it, after a period of baptism, the film is easily forgotten. I think this is something that "The Raid" can make up for, and it should also be where the pure violence aesthetics should be strengthened.
In any case, "The Raid" has developed a new movie mode. At this point, it is worthy of affirmation. The movie is suitable for many people to watch during leisure and entertainment. It does not need to think more deeply, just enjoy the movie. -GZH: MovieLifeLan
