Spoilers for this article. This article is very long. Three key points can be summarized: 1. MCU finally has a director who takes "sacrifice" so seriously 2. A complete story of a family relationship that can be extracted from the core 3. The chemistry between teammates did not stop at the slogan 1-MCU finally has a director who takes "sacrifice" so seriously. Before you enter the theater, when you click on a movie produced by Marvel Studio, what are you looking forward to? The colorful scenery and uniforms, the gag style of lines, the style of using laughter as a selling point, and other elements considered from the perspective of "popcorn" and "commercial orientation". After watching this movie, I suddenly realized that the MCU style that most criticized me might be the "sacrifices" that have never been taken seriously by the MCU. Carefully recall the works of MCU in recent years. It seems that when I really started contacting MCU from "Thor 2", I almost never saw MCU works seriously interpret the greatness of "sacrifice", no, I should say the most The important thing is how the alive inherits the will of the deceased. The Gu Yi mage in "Doctor Strange" said, "I have foreseen my death." Peggy's funeral in "American Team 3". The former Wasp in "Ant-Man", the sacrifice of the wife of a generation of Ant-Man. Kuaiyin blocked the bullet in "Reunion 2" (accept the flag). "Thor 2" River Liga's death and funeral. Loki's sacrifice (although it was suspended animation). Yes, these people are not the protagonists, so it seems that there is no need to exaggerate their deaths. And you said, the MCU is always that giggling, and it's obviously not their style to highlight the heaviness of death. The legendary history immediately cheered up the determination to become a master and save the world. Peggy's funeral seems to have nothing to do with anyone. Hawkeye and the Red Witch became the only people affected by Kuaiyin's death. The small boat containing Friega's body was set ablaze and gradually turned into a point of light in the galaxy. In the next second, no one's sadness was written on his face, and the scene suddenly turned to the doctor who was detained in the elderly center. Thor can also continue to embark on the journey after crying his brother's sacrifice suddenly with a face as if the death of a loved one never happened. You say that you can understand the protagonists’ weight-bearing move forward, but this part of the feelings does not seem to be reflected in the language of the lens that continues after the “sacrifice”. So, in order to give the protagonist a far-fetched reason to "cheer up", shed one or two tears of grief and indignation, so that the important supporting role who was written "dead" in this way is suspected of becoming a man and a woman in the refrigerator? In this comparison, James Gunn's interpretation of "sacrifice" can be described as the conscience of MCU. Regardless of the phrase "we're m happy "Death" is undoubtedly sad, but it is precisely because of this that the living must live happier and splendidly so that they will not live up to "death". 2- A complete description of a family story that can extract the core of it seems that most of the time, MCU is synonymous with "popcorn" and "commercial orientation", and it seems difficult for a work to summarize other than these "elements" The core plot comes. The MCU series that takes "entertainment" as the core. Although the previous "Iron Man" series, "Thor" series and even "Ant-Man" have involved "family affection", they are only used to complete the protagonist's saving the world. Some condiments for the final story. That is, no matter whether the influence of family affection is good or bad, the final foothold is only whether the protagonist successfully saved the world again. (Again, I do not object to the influence of the affectionate elements in every MCU work interpreted by the audience, but "has" does not necessarily mean "good". The reason for this is that these movies can be spent. The pen and ink writes these family affection elements better.) Therefore, the film has undergone a start-inheritance-turn-combination, and the final footing is not placed on the protagonist(s) saving the world again, but on the sacrifice of a supporting role. In terms of impact, "Gin Shou 2" is a different kind of MCU. Yongdu’s sacrifice has another meaning, and therefore it once again raises the height of the whole story of "Gin Shou 2": blood relationship does not define family relationship, it can even be said that family relationship has nothing to do with blood relationship, and family relationship is only related to love and responsibility. If parents only gave their children life, but never gave any love or sense of responsibility, then "kinship" will not be established. I once got the answer to the question in the morality class. Is "bearing grace" really greater than "nourishing grace"? The answer is no. "He may be your father, but I am your daddy" When talking about such a relaxed ridicule between father and son, Yongdu was already ready for a "father" to sacrifice. The character of Yongdu even gave the story more drama: a notorious poacher in the universe, a criminal with only interests and no concept of family and friendship in his eyes, and one who did not send his son to his relatives. It’s just because of the “human traffickers” who can use this child to steal things (it was corrected by many people in the comment area. Yongdu confessed that he knows the truth that ego wants his own children. Because I have been watching the unsubtitled version. If any lines are missing, it is true. My question), but family affection has given this character the complexity of "both right and evil". "Family affection" has nothing to do with "humanity" and has nothing to do with "divineness". EGO is a god. God has unlimited time and unlimited life, so it has unlimited possibilities. There is no need to use "kindness" to connect individuals and bind inheritors. Therefore, for him, there is no difference between children and tools. If there is a God in this world, perhaps God is more willing to pursue a higher purpose like EGO than the "humanity" we think they have, because time and life are meaningless to God. What EGO pursues is that all lives have the same eternal life and eternal time like him. This is what he thinks is the meaning of "living". However, "people" are defined by living in a limited time and life, so they must make many choices that may regret or may be fortunate. (Quoting a seemingly irrelevant passage) "The Bible says," Monte Cristo replied, "The sins of the father will fall on their third and fourth generation children. God said these things in his prophecies, I Why should you be more merciful than God?" "Because God has time and eternity, man cannot have these two things." People are undoubtedly the baton of the decision out of "love" and "responsibility" considerations. And such a low life is synonymous with "meaningless" weakness and fragility in the eyes of EGO, so he does not need children who have not inherited his "divine nature", he can squeeze "people" at will like an insect. s life. Then, the entire Guardians of the Galaxy, which showed infinite "humanity" throughout the [combination] stage, including the willingness to sacrifice their own courage, have formed a conflict and contrast of such a weight with such an EGO! In this family story, I can’t help but choose to become a mortal and give up immortality. "Kill me, you will be just like everybody else!" "...and what's wrong with that?" Because only mortals know the pricelessness of time and life, will they respect and cherish time and life with a passionate heart. The conversation between Lenovo Xingjue and his son in the moonlight, the curse of mortals, is the beauty of being mortals. 3- The chemical reaction between teammates did not stay in the slogan "Silver Guard 2". The feelings of teammates did not stay in the empty slogan "we are family" and "stand stupidly in a row" (Yes, Tucao next door Suicide Squad). Up to now, MCU has only two important groups, one is Fulian and the other is Silver Guard, and the former has no intention to move closer to the "family", and the teammates have seen valuable team spirits in addition to "Family 1". In addition, it seems to have been on the verge of division... But the series of Yinshou is different, and even these wonderful characters: the orphan in the universe, the killer sister, the transformed raccoon, the tree man who only speaks three words, and the KY who has a ruined family. It is a wonderful thing for the uncle to form a team, let alone form a "family". But they really did it, and just like you don’t pull your parents and yell “we are family” in front of others every day, they also don’t talk about teammates as family members, but use a kind of moisturizing. The objects are conveyed to the audience in a silent manner. Of course, in the end it was said through the role of Drax, but the "perseverance" on his face reflected his growth. "All I wanted is a family, don't you understand?! [Still stern]) In conclusion, it should be said that this story fits my appetite very well. There are both tragic self-sacrifice (death, and the choice to be a mortal) and countless love and laughter, in a sense it is tears in a laugh. O Henry's story. The important thing is that I am very grateful to every creator who treats the story of the comics as a plot to treat it with respect. This is very valuable in the MCU. I like watching movies with plots, not just fast food with some elements. Although there are some shortcomings that must be mentioned, for example, the sense of existence of the golden skewers is too strong and deliberate. In addition to the most suitable father and son at the end, there are also some golden tunes that are more compatible with the funny picture, which belong to the remarkable category. The rest can be omitted appropriately. The mention rate of "tape" is too high, a bit deliberately overdone. In addition, there are a few places where the jokes are too piled up, as if returning to the historical legendary crew, using the jokes as a plot. There are also a few transitions that are slightly blunt. The previous scene was on another planet, and a supporting actor was doing other things. The next second suddenly switched to the Walkman and the golden song, which caught me by surprise and thought I was attacked by a substitute (Eh, you, etc.) . —————— Update: After the second brush, I found more problems. It should be said that the rhythm of the whole stage of the beginning and the inheritance is very fragmented. It only depends on the battle scenes of the golden skewer and the output of the visual effects, plus the enjoyment of the mouth. Live the scene (otherwise it will even slip to "boring"). The whole narrative rhythm seems to be adapting to what the director thinks to be played in the next scene, rather than adapting to the needs of the plot. The first half of the movie is very leisurely and has no "purpose", like just telling a daily story of Xing Jue returning to his hometown to visit relatives, plus Yongdu's seemingly insignificant team conflict. However, it can be said that this is a huge contrast with the subsequent transformation-combination stage. The flaws are not concealed. I am still very satisfied with the story of "Silver Guard 2", so I gave four and a half stars to show my support and appreciation for this series. Although I am not satisfied with the rhythm of the first half, I really want to praise this approach of "giving the end of the story" rather than "applauding the protagonist". , Like just telling a daily story of Xing Jue returning to his hometown to visit relatives, plus Yongdu's seemingly insignificant team conflict.
