heroic stories often begin this way: Nightmarish childhood leaves irreparable wounds that sow the seeds of revenge. By chance, he acquired superhuman abilities and embarked on a journey of punishing evil and
promoting good... Directed by Mark Steven Johnson, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner starred in the sci-fi action film Night of the Night The Devil is such a story.
Matt Murdoch's (Ben Affleck) father is a progressive boxer. One day, little Matt saw his father robbing passers-by, and his father's heroic image was completely shattered. Unable to accept the reality, Matt ran all the way, blinded by the spilled radioactive waste. However, Matt, who lost his sight, got a keen hearing and developed a pair of "bat eyes" over time.
At the same time, the guilty father also returned to boxing with an impressive record. He refused the boss's request to crack down on fake games, and won the toughest and last victory "in front of his son". While Matt waited quietly outside the boxing gym, his father was attacked by the gangsters instructed by the boss and died on the street.
Matt has since vowed to avenge the innocent victims and fight against the evil forces in the city. During the day, he is an ordinary lawyer in New York; after night falls, he turns into "Daragon", radar-like sensing and agile skills help him pursue the grievances that cannot be settled in court and the evil that cannot be punished by law. Righteousness on the spot.
Matt meets a beautiful woman named Eliza Michaelis (Jennifer Garner) and falls in love. Eliza's father was attacked by a killer, but the weapon was Daredevil's blind cane. Eliza also took revenge. She stabbed Daredevil, was attacked by the killer herself, and didn't know her father's death until she died. The real murderer is Fisk, the underworld boss Fisker who is the Greek ambassador, and he is the one who killed Matt's father...
The story of the hero always ends like this: the urge for revenge fades away, and then What comes is more powerful strength and irreplaceable charisma. He has become the symbol of the city and the symbol of justice; the beloved woman cannot be married for various reasons...
However, the bad guys will not be completely finished, and the women will not become extinct, so people stretched their necks to look at it, and they didn't. See the end of the hero's story.
DD:
The original English name of Daredevil is DAREDEVIL, which literally translates as "the desperate person" (this is closer to the translation of "Daredevil"). Like Zorro, Daredevil will also leave an initials after exercising justice: DD. Analyze this D, it should be interesting.
DARK (Dark): The night gave him dark eyes, and he used him to preside over the light. Daredevil is blind, which in the first place contributes to many of the film's great shots. After Matt was attacked by the solution, the screen suddenly went black and lasted for several seconds. When people thought that something was wrong with the film, the camera switched back, making the audience feel blind for the first time; when the two were dating, Matt fell on the raindrops. The voice on Eliza's face "saw" her appearance, and couldn't help sighing: "You are so beautiful!" The
darkness is only the eyes, and it is a portrayal of the state of the city. The whole of New York can be described as "Hell's Kitchen", its chaos and hopelessness can be seen.
DARE: Matt once said, "I'm not afraid of anything." But while we admire his bravery, we can't help but express our concern for his mental state. His fearlessness has led to extreme behavior, which has distorted the true face of justice to a certain extent. So after he repented, the priest said: "A man without fear is a man without hope."
DEVIL: Matt's father got this when he was a boxer Nickname, it was used by Daredevil. It is worth noting that the two D's in Daredevil's signature are overlapped. In addition to being beautiful, it also seems to symbolize the overlap of the two. If you are too brave, you will go to evil. Daredevil could kill his criminal father in front of a child, while subconsciously groaning: "I'm not a bad person." He obviously forgot what it felt like to "witness" his father's murder - for that sob For the boy who says "don't hurt me", he's obviously a demon.
DEED: Daredevil didn't do anything shocking, not even saving his girlfriend. But his exploits should not be limited to the redemption of others, but also to the redemption of self.
revenge!
Many Western literary and artistic works take "revenge" as the motif. There must be guilt first. As the villain Fisk said in the play: "No one is innocent, no one", it seems that everyone in Daredevil has flaws, and the serious revenge mentality is still very much.
Daredevil fights crime, and should be a positive character; but after all, he is upholding justice for revenge, and it can be said that his motives are inherently impure. In the face of this filthy and depraved world, Matt, who lives with sin, inevitably becomes impulsive, extreme, and emotional. While fighting for the light, the darkness is gradually consuming his soul. He vowed to "do whatever it takes" to punish the crime, and his approach was indeed bloody and violent. Matt knew the dangers and perversions of this revenge, and so often confessed to the priest. But the sin of hatred in the heart cannot be truly eliminated without eradicating it.
Eliza is also an extreme Avenger. She changed from a cute girl to a fierce thug, and eventually she could not escape bad luck. Her revenge is destined to be tragic. Matt admonished her that "Revenge won't make pain go away" and took off his glasses to watch her in the rain for the second time. But her image faded, and Eliza held up her umbrella and left in despair. At the moment of holding the umbrella, this self-enclosure in the form of revenge is also formed.
Eliza's death made Daredevil completely understand the truth of "retribution". So in the end, when he had a chance to kill Fisk, Daredevil chose to use the law instead of violence to punish him, which made Fisk unable to understand and couldn't help it, and the psychological defense line completely collapsed. This can't help but remind us of the scene in which Hamlet tried to kill his uncle. Hamlet had the opportunity to attack when his uncle was unsuspecting when he prayed, but he thought that he could ascend to heaven by dying while praying, so he gave up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The same goes for Daredevil. If Fisk was killed by Matt's rod, he was an ordinary victim; when he fell into the legal net, he was the real criminal. The difference is that Hamlet did not untie the knot of revenge until his death, but Matt did.
Daredevil once tried to use revenge to make the world a better place, but what he got was infinite pain; but when he cleaned up the hatred in his heart, he became a real fighter. As Matt summed up at the end: "I set out to save the city, but I saved myself instead."
Dong Shi?
Commercial movies inherently have a knight-errant complex, ranging from Zorro and Robin Hood, who were very popular at the time, to Batman, who has swept the world, and Spider-Man, who has become popular recently. It can be said that among many heroes, Daredevil is relatively unknown. "Daredevil" as a commercial film has completed its mission. In addition to relying on the huge audience reserved for the adaptation of famous comics, it is also due to the joining of stars. Ben Affleck is not a "male vase", but the most attractive feature of him in the film after covering his eyes is his six prominent abdominal muscles; the skinny beauty Garner also shows his sexy body in the fight scenes.
It is undeniable that Daredevil is similar to its predecessors in many ways: obvious personal heroism, secrecy of dual identities, interspersed love sidelines, eternal revenge motif... But to say that Daredevil is pure I am afraid that Shi Xiao frowns are somewhat arbitrary.
Hero-themed movies themselves are changing. Zorro and Robin Hood are the "Gallery" versions; Batman gradually became humanized (although they were more technologically advanced), had unfortunate childhoods and lingering psychological shadows; Spider-Man is the prototype fixed in the On a middle school student who should belong to the "weak"...
Daredevil's shaping should be unique. First of all he is a disabled hero with mental problems. This disability makes his revenge more intense and tragic. The fierceness lies in the fact that Daredevil, who relies on hearing, has to work hard, because he has an Achilles' heel: the fear of noise. His opponents have taken advantage of this many times (one of the funnels of the film is that this Achilles' heel is easy to grasp and irreparable, and it should be easy for opponents to kill Daredevil). The tragedy lies in the final death of the female companion, which is probably unique in similar films. When Matt's keen ears can no longer catch Eliza's heartbeat, we can even begin to wonder if Hollywood will break the principle of immortality.
Also unique is that Daredevil's dual identity is seen through by someone other than his opponent. In the film, the writer of an urban legend learns Matt's secret through the blind cane on Michaelis' body, and he has revealed this fact on the computer. However, in the end he pressed the delete button and kept the secret. When he and Matt had a knowing smile, we knew the story would continue. The setting of this detail emphasizes the hero's mass base for the first time. People don't always send a signal when they need heroes, let them be there when they're called, and become suspicious when they don't. Because Daredevil has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, on-screen, and off-screen - this is at least a reflection of the film's success.
