"Red Flame Battlefield 2": Tragedy in Comedy

There is a particularly tragic word called "heroes dying" and a heartbreaking word called "beautiful white head", but this emotion has nothing to do with "Red Flame Battlefield 2". Although this movie is starred by several old actors, the gestures are full of fun, and there will be laughter from time to time in the theater, but after laughing, I see some things that I can't laugh at.

The plots of foreigner movies are not particularly complicated, and even conspiracies will give you a reason to be justified. There is no senseless hatred, no senseless attachment in this world, everything has an original motive, even the most evil thing, but the reason is often found that the most original motive is understandable, forgivable or even Very sympathetic. Dr. Edward Bailey is such a man, he is undoubtedly a genius of genius, but his most proficient job is different from most, and he is the best man in the world to make weapons of mass destruction. He used to be honored because of this, people's fear of war prompted people to develop weapons to increase their sense of security, and he used to be the one who can give a lot of people a sense of security. But things in the world are so unexpected but also expected. People originally depended on weapons to ensure their own safety, but who would have thought that the rapid development of weapons would also bring security threats to people? Who would have thought that the genius of designing and making weapons could also be a threat to people's security? Who would have thought that a hero who is proficient in making weapons of mass destruction can feel safe in his heart? For Dr. Edward Bailey, all this has no meaning, his wife and young children have died in this cold war, the world has no meaning to him, only boredom and hatred. Although the detonation of a nuclear bomb to kill millions of innocent people is unforgivable, it is undeniable that Dr. Edward Bailey is also a tragic figure.

The characters CIA agent Frank, his old friend Marvin, Russian female agent Katya, and even Frank's lovely girlfriend Sarah Rose, these characters are also worth thinking about. Except for the Russian female agent Katya, who is still a member of the Russian government, no matter how powerful they were in the past, they are all ordinary people now, especially when they were born and died for the interests of peace and their own country. But should they be wiped out just for a fake document?

In the dialogue, Marvin once asked Frank a sentence, "Don't you take the task of killing friends?" It is conceivable that sometimes, although for a righteous reason in his heart, Frank also made many choices of betrayal and harm. What is even more embarrassing is that the reason that was once thought to be just, often reveals its crude and ugly true face in the tempering of time, which makes people feel like a dream and unbelievable many years later. Frank, Marvin, they once escorted Dr. Bailey with a super atomic bomb into Russia. The intention is very clear. What kind of just reason would they put the threat of the atomic bomb on the heads of millions of Russians? Woolen cloth?

Whether in the Cold War or in other eras, the contradictions caused by differences in ideology have made many people lose their humanity, ignoring that the most beautiful color in life is harmony and eclectic coexistence. In order to cover up history, even Sarah Rose, a lovely girlfriend who doesn't understand anything, is caught in a whirlpool of life and death. For a momentary victory, the Russian female agent Katya repeatedly played with Frank, but she could not forget the man in her heart and the yellow rose in front of Frank's door in her eyes. Rather than saying that Katya died at the hands of Bailey, it would be better to say that Katya died in an ideological battle. This is my favorite handsome and cool woman, her love was destroyed by ideology, and her life was also destroyed in the aftermath of the ideological battle, only dying in Frank's arms at the end might make her feel a little warm and peaceful Rejoice.

Foreign countries are rich in blockbusters that save the world, and everyone likes to watch them. I think maybe everyone likes to watch not only the luxurious scenes, not only the wonderful performances of the stars, but also the light of humanity that shines when the heroes make choices when disaster strikes. In contrast, many domestic blockbusters tend to favor dark battles in style, and prefer to use the logic of winning the king or losing the bandit to pay tribute to the emperor and general. No matter how wonderful the blockbusters that save the world are shot in Europe and the United States, they may not really be able to cultivate real heroes who save the world, but what kind of audience can be cultivated by many first-class domestic blockbusters played by Hou Hei, and the answer is clear at a glance.
