The original English name of the film is "RED", deconstructed into "Retired", "Extremely", "Dangerous", a group of retired extremely dangerous characters. Four old guys who are eager to try, paired with an older leftover girl who is sullen and neurotic. When they get together, the chemical effect produced can be imagined. As a purely standard commercial film, I think it is completely unnecessary to discuss its plot design line. For a model country of "hegemonism and power politics" like the United States, the assassination of a veteran who has been through life and death and made outstanding achievements is completely commonplace and even understandable. Presumably in the United States, there is no such creed as "If you want others to be ignorant, do nothing unless you do it yourself". It's very simple, they have always cut grass and roots without leaving disaster, and they are both courageous and efficient. Of course, on the screen, national agencies and organizations like the CIA, FBI, various PDs, etc. are often ugly and disgraced. Personal heroism is always the most powerful theme.
Bruce Willis, without the attachment of Die Hard, is indeed getting old. He dabbles in a wide range of low-budget comedies, science fiction films, and even literary films. Naturally, his acting skills are unquestionably consummate, but he just feels that his personal aura is too strong, and he can't restrain himself at all. Sure enough, in "Red Flame Battlefield", he completely played the role of leading the big brother, and he developed the basic line of the entire film. I am very satisfied with the placement of the role of Sarah. She is neurotic, reckless and frank, and slightly sexy. It adds a lot of color to the red sunset and drives the lighthearted and humorous tone of the whole film. John Malkovich, still playing his best hippie traits, has always been likable for his vulgarity. Helen Mirren is probably the one with the most subversive image. After "The Queen" left a deep impression on everyone, I think that this time she is domineering and the queen is no longer a queen. The shrew who never tire of machine gun fire. Of course, this is definitely an "Obasan" with elegant manners and dignified appearance.
Compared with the other three sunset red, Morgan Freeman is more tragic. He could not have been killed by a single shot. Hollywood heroes have always been blessed and blessed by Christ Jesus, and they cannot die if they want to die. Moreover, I personally feel that the film is the most inhumane. The biggest bug is that after he sacrificed himself for others and sacrificed his life generously, his old friends were collectively ungrateful and didn't mention him at all. This makes the audience who likes the old guy Joe who is obsessed with pornography, what a shame. Xu Xing, this is a joke deliberately made by the director to the audience, which makes the film more or less discussable. The late bloomer Morgan Freeman, who started out with a literary genre, can be regarded as the red sunset with the widest acting career and a promising future. Although Hollywood has never lacked bizarre characters, I have to say that he is the most respected and admired from the bottom of my heart.
On the huge stage in the movie world, the alternation of old and new is being staged all the time. The tireless old actors will one day retire from the stage of history and enjoy family happiness behind the screen. Nowadays, more and more works with the farewell label are showing the tip of their iceberg one by one. Naturally, the vast majority of these works, judged on the merits of the film itself, are cliché, mediocre, and seem to be quickly forgotten. But from another level, what the audience is willing to appreciate is no longer just a frame of light and shadow, but a complex. A kind of old-fashioned, ambitious, never surrender to old age, positive and optimistic attitude towards life. No matter how gorgeous the rhetoric, in front of them, it is empty and indifferent like dust. "Battlefield of Red Flames" - Astral, heroic, domineering, no explanation is needed.
