The popularity of American superhero-themed movies has been showing an upward trend in the 21st century, especially the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was formed from the start of "Iron Man 1" released by Marvel Pictures in 2008, and the popularity of super British-themed movies. Swept the world in an unstoppable situation.
The appearance of the American drama "Black Robe Pickets" adds a touch of color to the "anti-hero" works. The original name of the work was "THE BOYS", and it was translated as "Hero Nemesis" in the play, which is straightforward and clear enough. In my opinion, this is a refreshing American drama with novel themes and remarkable plots, but more importantly, it portrays a microcosm of the real society.
The main line of the story is the revenge of the male lead group against the super heroes. As the plan unfolds step by step, a larger and more nasty conspiracy is revealed before the eyes of the audience. First of all, in terms of the subject matter, this drama has extra points in my eyes. I’m used to watching too many American superhero movies. Although the ten years of the Marvel Universe really touched me, feelings aside, the plots and routines of American hero movies can be said to be all pictures of cats and tigers: throwing a super power or money A person of ability, portray his growth, and then save the world. Every hero has a common spirit of willingness to sacrifice for others, and each of them has become an object of admiration for people. I have to say that although it is really enjoyable to watch as an audience, it is actually instilling American personal heroism and subtly making people identify with the United States. From the perspective of the image of Captain America and Superman, they represent the United States, and they represent justice. Is this reasonable? I don't think it will work.
The heroes of "Black Robe Picket" are mostly the re-enactments of DC's signature heroes, and their hearts are filthy. They deceive everyone for their own benefit, behave mischievously, and finally reveal to the audience that the heroes are not born with supernatural powers, they are all illegal Manufactured by way. How ironic, isn't this exactly the current world's general view of the United States? I don't know if the director wants to convey what the United States means to be overbearing and shameless, but as a Chinese, I see it very well.
The color tone of the story is gray and dark, indicating the black and depressing storyline of the film, and the clever thing is that the music at the end of each episode has chosen a style that forms a high contrast with the plot. The most impressive thing is that when the protagonist in the second episode pressed the button, "Cherry Bomb" sounded. The cheerful rhythm was accompanied by the detonation of the bomb, and the protagonist began to embark on a road of no return that could not be turned back. This bomb was also at the same time Destroying the hero's past life, he needs to understand the truth.
The story mainly revolves around the male protagonist describing his psychological growth, from cowardice to firmness, and then from firmness to fearlessness. And his qualities of kindness and loyalty have enriched this character, allowing him to show a completely decent style. In other words, he is no superhero without superpowers. But Bucher's portrayal of the male second is very good in the early stage. In order to avenge his wife, he has a variety of methods and a clear mind, always resolving the situation in a critical moment, completely thighs. But the subsequent plot made him act like a fool in the dark. Originally the image of a good man who was desperate for revenge for his wife, he turned into a thankless funny character because of a green hat. When I saw the end, I suddenly felt like I was fed a lot of*, as a line of revenge throughout the show, but ushered in such a big reversal. Everything the male protagonist does is to expose the conspiracy of the Superman company that killed his girlfriend. Where's the second man? Didn't his beliefs completely collapsed? It even looked more like a story in which people from the motherland saved his life regardless of the predecessors in order to let him see the truth. A typical high drive and low walk! How should Butcher continue his revenge in the second season? If you lose your faith and act, there is no reason to continue. I am looking forward to how to make the ending of the second season round.
Although quite dissatisfied with the end of the first season, it does not hinder the core theme of the show is good. Fortunately, it is very real.
The superheroes with boundless scenery reflect the hot star-making model in the current society. There are no shortage of celebrities who are truly capable and pursued, but more of them are traffic stars who are packaged by the company and appear on shows to deceive underage fans. I am thinking about the custard nipples and young ladies who didn’t understand themselves when they were in their teens and twenties, serving as the life mentors of underage fans under the grand packaging of the company. Tomorrow, I will report the novel website where his idol's name appears (yes, it is xx).
The concept of the supremacy of interests and the supremacy of flow permeates the entire society. Why now there are fewer and fewer talented artists with works? Because those need to spend time to settle, and now pay attention to efficiency, star making is undoubtedly the best choice. Water Company uses V5 to make heroes, and uses them to make a lot of money to master government resources, whether it breaks the established rules of the military or not. Star-making companies spend money on variety shows to turn good-looking children into idols to earn pocket money for underage children, regardless of whether it affects the development of values. It can be said that the current society has created these "superheroes", but they are only short-lived, and the things that can withstand the test are always those that are truly polished and precipitated.
