2020 is the fabled Year of the Rat in the legend. As expected, just after the Lunar New Year, the new crown pneumonia began to spread around the world. Today, more than 70 million people have been diagnosed worldwide, and more than 100 million people have been diagnosed in the powerful United States alone. More than 17 million people have been infected. In addition to the terrible epidemic, there have been sad news throughout the year. Sports superstars Kobe Bryant and Maradona have fallen one after another. A few days ago, South Korea's national treasure-level director Kim Ki-duk also suffered from the new crown pneumonia. Latvia died. Under the shadow of countless sadness, we finally reached the end of the year. Because of the epidemic, many blockbuster movies have been collectively withdrawn and postponed. Fortunately, we still have "Wonder Woman 1984", the only superhero blockbuster released this year, vaguely I still remember how popular the first film of "Wonder Woman" was, and being able to see this blockbuster film of love and justice at the end of the year is a little consolation for the lack of blockbusters to watch this year.
The time of the story in the film is 1984, which is also the year of the rat, but 1984 in history is a prosperous year. That year, Apple launched the epoch-making Macintosh computer, the first time in history that the Summer Olympics turned a profit was held in Los Angeles, the United States approved the development of the first permanent manned space station plan, and the first human spacewalk experiment. Success, NBA epoch-making superstar Mike Jordan began to amaze the sports world, and Ronald Reagan was re-elected in the US presidential election at the end of the year.
But in the movie, all this thriving scene has fallen into a catastrophe because of the greed of Max Lord and the Leopard Girl. The world is divided into four quarters, the Middle East is fighting again, the nuclear bomb war between the United States and the Soviet Union is imminent, and the whole world is plunged into chaos.
When the mind is swallowed by desire
In this film, I really liked the setting that the director set Diana's career as a researcher at the Washington Museum of Natural History. A beautiful and talented woman with a high degree of education is still so hot, not at all the so-called developed limbs and simple minds that some people say. She has several doctorates and speaks several foreign languages. She wears leopard-print high heels and a V-neck silk shirt to work. Her wavy long curly hair is charming and moving. She looks both intellectual and capable. Sure enough, this is what a goddess should look like. A perfect woman, who wouldn't yearn for it?
Diana's new colleague, Barbara Minerva, a museum researcher who also has several Ph.D.s and several foreign languages, was naturally envious of Diana's life after meeting her. Although Barbara has strong professional ability, her appearance is unremarkable. After meeting Diana, she has always coveted Diana's popularity and good figure, hoping that one day she can become another Diana, which is easy to understand, who doesn't love beautiful things, but yearning is one thing, Coveting and appropriation are another matter.
By chance, the wish stone with mysterious power fulfilled her unintentional wish and became a leopard girl with very strong fighting power. Although Leopard Girl is the villain in the movie, actress Kristen Wiig, who was 47 years old, is very admirable for her physical beauty and fighting valiant and heroic posture. The Gal Gadot is not much better than that, which makes ordinary viewers like me feel very envious. Barbara has both disadvantages and advantages. She is not a villain with a single face. This role is complex and full. She has completely different personalities at different times. When she was kind, she would help beggars. After she transformed, she would show a cruel side and become cold-blooded and ruthless to hurt countless people. Why did a kind and weak person have such a big change, only after watching the movie will I know the answer. .
The biggest villain in the film, Max Lord, played by Pedro Pascal, is a failed businessman who is also a character whose heart is devoured by desire. Some people will say that he has some similarities with Trump, including blond hair, facial appearance, etc., and even Max talked eloquently on TV, shouting "Life" to the audience in front of the TV. is good but it can be better, why shouldn't it be ?" and "all you need is to want it" both remind people of Mr. Chuan who often shouted "Let the America great again" in his speeches. Similarly, Max plundered oil, separated the originally peaceful forces in the Middle East, incited a nuclear bomb war between the United States and the Soviet Union, and in reality, President Sichuan tried many times to separate the process of globalization, and there were many disputes with other countries in the world. There are many similarities, it's just not known if these apparent parallels between film and reality hide some unspeakable irony.
When the heart is swallowed by desire, when jealousy is blinded, disaster is rampant, darkness covers the world, and only love and hope can save this chaotic world.
love when disaster spreads
What are you willing to give up for love?
Time, life or everything?
As one of the few beautiful and sassy female superheroes in the comic superhero blockbuster, Wonder Woman is deeply loved by most audiences. The 1980s in the movie exudes a strong retro atmosphere. Many sets of clothes worn by Diana and Barbara after changing clothes are very beautiful. I believe that many female audiences want to quickly get the same style after watching it. Compared with many sensory-stimulating big-scene action comics, this sequel is obviously more attentive. After watching the whole movie, I feel that this is not a sequel in the traditional sense of the previous film, but more like Wonder Woman. Another chapter in the development of the hero's story.
There is no doubt that this sequel, like the last Wonder Woman, showcases the beauty of female power. The scene where little Diana competes with Amazonian sisters in a sports competition and competes for honor in the opening chapter makes people excited and can't wait to make a wish to go to the gym. The scenes where Diana put on the golden eagle armor and fought and beat each other with the leopard girl after her transformation, the scenes of drag racing and fighting in Egypt and intercepting bullets with a mantra were all very intense, which made people feel the beauty of the power of the female body.
A lot of people who covet power and power (like Max Lord and Leopard) see only power and glory, and superheroes are superheroes because they see more than power , and more of a heavy responsibility behind the power. Because the appearance of the Wish Stone inspired the hidden evil in human nature, businessmen Max Lord and Barbara were transformed one after another. At first, Max just wanted success in the worldly sense. He wanted a lot of money. After this wish came true, he also wanted the power to change the world, how easy it is to play the world in the palm of his hand. of comfort.
But even demons have a softness in their hearts that eventually made Max Lord, in a state of madness, willing to give up everything he had at his fingertips, the power he had at his fingertips to disrupt the world, and his mad and terrible desires to see Like ordinary love. At the end of the movie, the reason why Max can return to human nature is because of Max's love for his son, the father's love that is as heavy as a mountain and makes people cry.
In the first movie, Diana's boyfriend is Steve, a US Air Force officer during World War I. No matter how powerful Steve is, he is just an ordinary flesh and blood. He is not like Wonder Woman. In the first part, in order to help Wonder Woman save the world, he sacrificed himself and left the touching sentence "I save the day, You save the world". In this movie, because of the Wish Stone, Steve was able to quietly return in another form, back to Diana, who had been missing Steve. It is of course very beautiful that the wish made can be realized, but this beauty has to pay an extremely terrible price, and Diana's divine power has disappeared. In order to restore her power to save the world, Diana had to face extremely difficult choices and make huge sacrifices.
People often think that security, harmony and happiness, once these things add up, may seem like love, but it is almost equal to love. But they are not love after all. Because true love is beyond physical love and beyond time. Marquez said in "Love in the Time of Cholera", "The only pain that death makes me feel is not being able to die for love". In order to save the world, Diana gave up her boyfriend, her love, her boyfriend's "flesh and blood", and turned her little love into a big love that saved the world.
Because of this tragic abandonment, the sadness that made them miss each other has also become another form of beauty, which will remain in the hearts of two people who love each other forever.
When the catastrophic reality and the disaster of the movie correspond one by one and blend with each other, it is easy for people to have a deep sense of substitution, and it is easy to resonate. Fortunately, there is also Wonder Woman in the movie. In order to save the world, she sacrificed her ego and used her divine power and the most selfless love to turn the tide and save the world. In reality, because of the rampant epidemic, the reality we live in is of course more severe than the disaster in the movie, but in any case, at least during the two hours of watching the movie, we can escape this terrible secular world and let our hearts There was a brief consolation.
At the end of the movie, the Christmas bell is ringing, green Christmas trees and red bows can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the snow is falling. Met the so-called "boyfriend" and greeted each other softly, everything seemed similar, but it has long been different. Vaguely, when I look back, the man is still in the dim light, but everything has long been like a dream, drifting away with the wind, leaving only a touch of sadness and warmth in my heart.
What makes people happy is that 2020, which has been terrible from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, is finally coming to an end. I hope that there can also be a Wonder Woman in real life.
