Can't think too much about watching this.

At the beginning, I want to say that this is indeed an old Hollywood routine story➕The non-stop talk between the two characters➕Consistently expressive in Hollywood editing, and it is indeed in line with the "three-act structure" of Hollywood script creation, but as a genre film or love As far as the film is concerned, for me, this film has passed the test.

First, as a killer-themed action type film, it is one after another, one routine after another. You always know that the right side is the oriole, the mantis and the cicada are the good guys and the bad guys who don't take the initiative, although You know that the ending must be the one you expect, but the routine in this film is indeed a surprise, you can't guess the predation process.

Second, as a romance movie, it can’t be called a romance movie to be precise, it should be an action movie full of romanticism, so it’s still the type mentioned above, but in this movie, the literary and drama part must be a highlight , First of all, the character is not a traditional tool killer and professional indifferent bodyguard, but a love master and a love idiot in terms of love. The dialogue between the two, including the change in attitude towards the woman they love, is As the plot begins to change.

In the last Weibo, I shared the lines: bumping into you is the best blessing in my life. How did you think this was said by a killer church (influence) bodyguard. In addition, the two male protagonists recalled the scenes of their acquaintance with their lovers. They used slow motion to kiss, hug and dance in the fights of the surrounding crowd. The images of the two men with iron blood and tenderness have been established. , and the nuns can sing together, and the romantic part of the literary drama has already given the audience's appetite, and coordinated the bloody and violent scenes.

The whole film is full of American humor, but it's not the part of American humor that we don't understand conventionally. On the contrary, it handles the rhythm very well, and after watching it, I'm still very impressed.

So it turns out that even if Hollywood is factory-produced, the story you think is very routine, but the genre film is a home-cooked meal, without all the fancy ideas and innovations, but the taste is still very familiar and it is very comfortable to eat, so watch cool movies, just Don't think about it so much.
