I just watched "Shazam of Thunder". At the beginning of the movie, I still felt that there was some dark tone that DC once had. However, when I continued to watch it, I found that this movie still abandoned the dark and deep depth that DC was once proud of. The argument, but like the previous DC universe movie "Sea King", is a laughter.
In fact, the laughter of the movie is not particularly funny, it just makes the audience understand and smile, and can't laugh. But it is such a movie, but there really is that part of the inner part that is waiting for the audience to discover, that is, the choice of the protagonist after being unable to defeat the powerful villain Boss for the first time.
The scene is that 14-year-old Billy accidentally acquired the inheritance of an ancient wizard and possessed superhuman abilities, but at the same time he also exposed his own location, allowing the Boss possessed by the seven deadly sins to easily find him. At this time, because of the inheritance, Billy could grow into an adult after shouting the transformation spell, but his other superpowers were not developed and used by him, and he was unable to defeat the ambitious Boss. At this time, Billy chose to release his transformation in the chaotic crowd, allowing himself to become a 14-year-old child without any superpowers, and escaped in the chaos.
That scene, the scene where Billy fled in a panic, how like us!
When we were young, we longed to grow up, but why do we long to grow up? It is nothing more than that the world of adults has some things that children can't reach - such as being able to spend money at will, being able to educate children, being able to do some 18 forbidden things, and being able to have stronger power and more resources. But when we really grow up and discover that the fulfillment of our once desires comes with countless responsibilities and obligations that are not what our heart desires. At this time, we thought of escape, hoping to return to childhood and school, but it was impossible.
But most of the time, this happens when we are 14 or 15 years old. At that time, we least want our parents to control us. What they do makes us completely incomprehensible. I don't think that was actually a period of rebellion, but the impact of the souls of two different eras before they compromised with each other. However, most parents cannot fully stand in the perspective of children and discuss the true meaning of growth with their children, because parents are adults, and their responsibilities make them need to do more things than just take care of their children. . But most of the children can't imagine the hardships of their parents and the difficulty of life, so they only have bright prospects for growing up in their eyes, and there is no dark abyss. And once they really grow up and accidentally discover the horrors of the adult world outside their parents' umbrella, they will inevitably recall the happiest and carefree childhood and youth, but those times are gone forever, we can only face The hardships of adulthood, not escape.
Yes, this is the shock I felt when watching the movie: when we found out that "growing up" means "abyss", do we choose to turn back into children to escape, or to go forward to overcome all difficulties and put " It's not easy for adults" to step on the foot.
I wish we were all the latter.
