L: I watched "Date of Birth" two days ago, and Robert Downey Jr. said in it, what kind of movie Hollywood comes out every two years, and he looked very disgusted. Maybe it’s the reason for the lack of scripts. For a government conspiracy theory shootout like “Red Flame Battlefield”, there should be at least n films a year. The bastards in the US government don’t know how many times they died in the movie. These people Add them all together and form a government, I don't think it's a big problem. (laughs) This film is a standard work, and the action scenes are still in the popular style in recent years-cartoonized and stylized. Now it is difficult to see the realistic scenes of the street gunfights in "Pirates of Fire".
Q: What is the reason?
L: It needs to be consistent with the overall style. The overall style of this movie is comic. Now that such films are in power, there is no way to do it. This may be related to the fact that the mainstream audience is now the video game generation. The real gunfight, how should I put it, is not exciting enough, not exciting enough, if it is in a video game who controls who fights and kills It's okay, just watching from the side, it's meaningless to simply run, hide and shoot. (laughs)
Q: What about the plot?
L: Does a movie like this need to talk about the plot? It's not bad to watch Da Da Sha Sha and have a good time. (laughs)
Q: If you are willing to talk about this movie, it must have brought you some feelings.
L: There is such a little feeling. The film raises the age-old question of whether we can do whatever we want in the name of justice, like the massacres, assassinations, frame-ups, etc., of these agents in the film to "defend democracy and a free society." This question itself is not difficult to answer. If it is really for justice, then there is no problem. If justice can be served, it is not too much to do. But the key is, who will define justice? What if your justice is different from mine? What if the justice 40 years ago is not the same as the justice now? What if the justice now is not the same as the justice in 40 years from now? , and finally found out that there is no absolute justice in this world. People have been killed and things have been done. What should I do? When these old agents were hunted down by the CIA they used to work for, they realized this problem-how could they be the opposite of those who define "justice"? ! Fortunately, it's not too late. In the end, the big bad arms dealer and his puppet vice president are killed and caught, and of course, this is the plot of the movie. (Laughs) Obviously, as a popcorn movie, this is not the focus of this movie, and the agents killing the arms dealer in the name of "justice" is just an unconscious irony of their own long-standing introspection. Speaking of which, there are indeed some tragedies. We are always murdered in the name of "justice", but we cannot do without it. Without "justice", is the next step left or right? ! How to get out of this vicious circle, the love story of a female agent and an old Soviet agent is inspiring: two agents who belong to different camps fall in love, although they can't stay together, but as long as they don't kill each other, they will always be together in this life The hope of the story-aside from the love factor, this story teaches us what to do or not to do, and leave it to our conscience to choose, at least when we die, we have a clear conscience, and our conscience is eaten by a dog. Well, then we can only rely on "justice" .
