I know you and will always remember you

Since the previous time was really not busy, the arrival in the middle of the night always made people feel very sudden. It seemed that he just sighed softly, and the noisy world just now fell asleep.

People seem to be that old.

Duf Lundgren, the former captain of the Swedish Royal Karate Team, a taciturn tough guy on the screen, a ruthless Predator, an undead hero, is so old that people can't bear to face it.

The handsome face at the time has become a dried orange peel, the limbs have become stiff, the voice has lost its elasticity, and the golden hair like the scorching sun has become a pile of dry grass after autumn, messy tied to the head, eyes. It is also like two fossils with bumps and concave spots, without the sharpness and depth of their youth. There are still not too many lines, this time the character is a reckless warrior like a big fool, so he dragged his legs and walked, foolishly courted women, and said some non-normal human words, always being rejected He ignores but doesn't take it seriously, he works hard to perform clumsily, even if there are not many shots for him.

Even in the golden age of action films, his popularity is far less than that of other stars, because he has no chance to create a classic character, but keeps repeating his functional role in the same second- and third-rate commercial films, like a robot Same fight, fight, fight. Until now, he, who has already given people a sense of his waning years, is still fighting, retreating to the corner of the camera to fight.

But I still remember him riding a motorcycle from the sky in the middle of the night. He wore dark sunglasses and black clothes, jumped over the top of the gangster's car, and at the highest point, he took out his gun and volleyed his arms. Shooting, the bullets and the car door sparked, the violent gunshots mixed with the roar of the exhaust pipe, his golden hair was blown by the night wind, like the sun shaking its own color in the dark, this scene was frozen in my mind. Don't go. He thwarted the enemy's ambush, and his movements are always calm, ruthless and precise, revealing a professional quality that people can't help but respect.

At that moment, he was extremely amazing. Wu Yusen's camera captured his heroic appearance, and took a person who has been stereotyped as a violent machine to make it feel like a god. Later, in the foreign knights, when I saw the appearance of Mitara's motorcycle, I couldn't help but think of the scene where he rejected the enemy in the middle of the night. In contrast, I just felt that Shimada Shoji's feeling for the divine soldiers was too weak.

Just as John Woo made Jean-Claude Vincent really show the spirit of a warrior in the ultimate goal, he also became different in this film because of John Woo's literary and artistic atmosphere, and he began to smile. He smiled slightly in the elevator, and then the two cards threw out. Blackjack passed through the last gap before the elevator door closed and landed in front of the thugs who had been taught by him. His smile at this time was chic, confident, arrogant, from skill to personality They all despised their opponents to the point of being speechless. When he first met little Casey, he smiled brightly and kindly, showing the kindness of an elder to a younger one. Later, when comforting little Casey in danger, he took out a lighter from behind Casey's ear. Facing Casey's surprise, he smiled warmly and firmly, which made people feel reassured and trusted, and believed that it could not be solved without him. problem and everything will be fine. In the final farewell, he repeated his old tricks, but the smile at the moment was elegant and sad, as if watching his child travel far away, although he was reluctant to give up, he would not be too affectionate, but restrained his feelings with sadness but not sadness. performance, and then retreated into his own world, leaving no trace.

That was the first and only time I was genuinely moved by Lundgren, and even now I feel that his image is the perfect measure of a mature man, calm and wise, brave and decisive, vigorous, free and easy, tenacious and indomitable. Fearful, affectionate and righteous. . . It just feels like a Western man's interpretation of the chivalrous character in Eastern culture.

Since then, I have always hoped that he can continue to shine, and even looked for a lot of his old films to watch, but unfortunately, he has never performed so impressively, as if the lingering dazzling memory in his memory The light was just an accidental burst and bloom in his life, and then quickly extinguished, drowning in the tide of life again. And even that short-lived brilliance, not many people appreciate it as much as I do.

Appreciate that I would run into the movie theater with a fever on the premiere day to watch this actor who I thought could have done more. I am saddened that he has turned old without sufficient burn, and that he still smiles unconcernedly. Warm, smiling knowingly because he said he misses the food in his hometown, and satisfied that I like such a person.

Everyone is getting old, Shangri-La's backspin has become uneven, the Terminator's arm is limp, Norris is directly reminiscent of Bruce Lee, Bruce Willie is posing a tough shape, but Without the fierceness of running barefoot on the glass, Stallone was leaning on the corridor and smoking a cigar. Facing this classic bridge of tenderness, I wondered if he was singing Leo in his heart.

Maybe time will change people, but the things in nature will only hide and never disappear, so after watching enough of Mission Impossible 4, I still want to see these heroes of the era with clear love and hate. After getting old and weak, he once again performed on the screen the black-and-white distinction and pleasure and enmity that nature most desires. Especially in today's days when handsome men are popular, gay men are in full swing, and rotten women can't wait to feminize all men, it is very necessary to let male genes go to cinemas with good audio-visual effects and receive bloody re-education.
