At the beginning of the movie, it was explained to our audience that the Russians began to study nanotechnology very early, and they had little success, (the dream of a great country began to do), but in the end it was due to various system problems, all kinds of problems, and finally failed. , the mad scientist group was also forced to disband, and so on, and finally a "retro" car "Volga GAZ-21" appeared in the dark and dilapidated laboratory. I have a son, the feeling of my son getting the car and a virtue in Transformers when Sam got the Bumblebee: "Dad really knocks the door" and Dad is so happy, I suddenly remembered Last year, my dad gave me his suit and it looked so good, no matter if I looked like a gasoline barrel or not, he still applauded, yes, yes, in short, he thinks it's good, it seems that the world is old Dad is always virtuous when he gives things to his son...
Then I will talk about this "Black Lightning - Black Volga GAZ-21". After talking about this, everyone will know why this film carries the dream of the revival of Russia's great power. Since the first Volga car was successfully assembled in the former Soviet Union's Gorky Automobile Factory in October 1956, the Volga became a symbol of the former Soviet Union and Russia's auto industry and carried the emotions of the former Soviet Union and Russia for generations. The Volga with a history of more than 50 years is the symbol of Russian cars and the national car of Russia. It has been widely used in official vehicles in socialist countries, and is also extremely common in Eastern Europe, China, North Korea and other countries. Equipped with a Volga car, it was really a symbol of identity and status at that time. The leaders of both the Soviet Union and present-day Russia adored it. Considered the symbol and pride of the former Soviet industry, the Volga had the same ups and downs as its country, and the Volga also witnessed the rise and fall of the Soviet Union or Russia over 50 years.
In recent years, the Volga car is on the verge of collapse. The Volga car is simply the epitome of contemporary Russia: today's Russia has been in political chaos for many years, and its industry is basically incomplete and divided after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The state system is uncertain, and the economy has been declining year after year. , the restlessness of the joined republics, the color revolution around the country, the slow improvement of people's living standards, the strong and huge camel in the past seems to be an old and scrawny horse, but this "old immortal camel" leaned on him after Putin came to power With strong leadership and lofty vision, firm will, and superhuman courage, the people strongly hope that Russia will enter a new glorious era, and the people are looking forward to the revival of a great power. However, it happens that Putin is another Volga fan. At work, he once bought a Volga as a means of transportation for him and his wife. During the US President's visit to Russia in 2005, Putin invited Bush to take a 1956 Volga and personally drive around the presidential residence. How proud the Volga is for Putin and how important it is to the entire Russian people, when every two years Russian audiences have to watch the "Transformers" series in the cinema, when General Motors defeats the aliens and protects life on earth, I feel in my heart What's it like? Can the Russian people be content with the disappearance of the Volga on the world car stage? So, "We have to make our own sci-fi blockbusters, we have to let our national cars protect human beings, and we have to let the people of the world know that we also have a super cool national brand!" Black Lightning".
Of course, in this globalized world where fast food is prevalent, it is inevitable for such a heroic movie to take the form of commercialization, but the script is not perfect, the flood of Mercedes-Benz advertisements, Apple advertisements, (it doesn't seem to open Mercedes-Benz is faceless, and if you don't use Apple, you're a bastard.) The flaws in sci-fi science and technology settings, etc. (for example, if you destroy the black lightning, you can use planes and the like, why do you have to modify another car) or fill the entire film. The hero Jima's growth process of becoming a hero is completely copied from "Spider-Man", and even the first time he helped others was to rescue a child in a fire. Jima drives the Volga style and slightly bows his head standing on the top of the tall building in the dark, his expression is full of grief and anger, completely copying the black route of the "Batman" prequel series, the deformation flight state process of "Black Lightning" , Ji Ma and the people and cars of "Black Lightning" are one, and the state of sympathy is the feeling of Sam and Bumblebee in "Transformers"; The love story of the hero and heroine of the Spider-Man series reappears, and the route of handsome boys and girls is the favorite of all kinds of typical Hollywood commercial films. The action scene of the final season horse PK the ultimate big BOSS is simply the car version of the "big boiler" driven by the bald man in the last Iron Man PK in "Iron Man"---Volga climbed with all his strength, and put the Mercedes-Benz car to the low-Earth orbit, the Mercedes-Benz car In this way, it became a satellite of the earth, floating in outer space.
Although at first glance this movie seems to be completely in the direction of Hollywood values, the gray style throughout the film, Moscow in the industrial age, the Russian oligarchic values represented by the villains, the misfortune of the older generation of scientists, and the advance in the early days. Science and technology research, etc., undoubtedly told the audience that this movie still has Russian blood. When the "Black Lightning" jumped over the "Kremlin Red Star" that always shines on Russia in the New Year's fireworks, such a totem at this time. The meaning is far from the simple romance of the little boy jumping over the moon on a bicycle in "ET", but to tell the Russian people and the people of the world that this red star will always shine on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier outside the Kremlin wall. Always shine on the Russian people, always shine on Russia, always shine on the Russian people's great country feelings!
