The Punisher is a famous anti-hero under Marvel. His real name is Frank Castle. He was originally a U.S. Marine Corps. ), took revenge against all the evil forces, claiming that "as long as you are guilty, you have to die".
In the second season of "Daredevil" produced by Marvel and Netflix, the Punisher made his debut, and Uncle Punishment overshadowed the protagonist for a while, and the single-player series also followed the trend. If Daredevil 2 is the birth of the Punisher, then The Punisher 1 is the Punisher's revenge.
Unlike a comic book hero TV series in the traditional sense, there are no heroes with super power, no villains who want to subvert the world, no cosmic monsters, and no crisis of extinction. Only the Punisher has a broken heart, and a group of people with the same broken heart. This is not a show that will be fun to watch, but a heart-wrenching story.
three clues
The revenge of Frank the Punisher, the struggle of veteran soldier Louis, and the pursuit of female detective Madani. The three threads are intertwined, and everyone and things are involved, and the audience from God's perspective sees everything that the person has experienced and failed to experience. It can better understand the hearts of the parties and their hatred for this bastard world.
Frank had seen the darkness, but chose to watch and flee, until the darkness swept over him again, and he was left with nothing. His revenge never set him free, but nightmares. In the dream, the wife was gentle and lovely, but she was shot and killed again and again. In the last nightmare, the murderer turned out to be herself. The closer he gets to the truth, the more regretful he becomes. The more he sees the enemy, the more he sees himself. He not only hates the enemy, but also hates himself who brings bad luck. Along the way, Frank fell into a desperate situation again and again, fought countless bloody battles, but he could never get rid of it, and what he wanted to recover could never be recovered.
I especially like the shaping of Uncle Pu's inner world in the play. The slightest gentleness, casual sense of humor, infinite thoughts of his family and infinite trust in his comrades-in-arms, all shaped the former him bit by bit. Such a good person, but the person he trusted ruined the whole world. Today, he is still such a good person. Although the whole world is broken, he is still willing to take care of the little beauty that he encounters, and he is still willing to believe people you trust.
Louis, a good boy and a good soldier, once fought for his country. After returning, he was physically and mentally exhausted. His father and comrades were all trying to help him, but he couldn't let go of the darkness he witnessed. The ensuing blows, the emotions that had nowhere to vent, turned into uncontrollable anger and pain, but the last miss detonated all the emotions.
The most touching scene between Louis and his father, the father who is not good at expressing, and the son who cannot talk to him, the more he understands, the more painful it is, and the more painful he is, the less he wants to let the other party bear it.
This line seems to have nothing to do with the main line, but it is the hidden ambition of the show. The issue of guns, veterans, and anti-terrorism are all hot topics in the United States today. Moreover, this play is against Hollywood's political stance, allowing people who insist on holding guns to speak up, not only giving the audience a chance to understand their views, but also showing the extreme views of the left and the right.
The reality is never black and white. There are good people and bad people who hold guns. A battle-hardened veteran may be a hero who saves people from misfortune or a shameless mercenary leader. Guns are just tools for fighting, not the problem itself.
The Iranian background and female identity give Madani a natural umbrella of "political correctness", as well as her natural doubts and distrust. In Afghanistan, her desire to make a living, to earn honor and trust, was stopped by the tragic death of her informant. Who cares about the death of a small policeman in Afghanistan, everyone wants her to shut up, leave the filth behind, go back to New York and walk on the road, but she says "NO!" to the whole system
She is not a likable female character, instead of falling in love with the protagonist for no reason, she slept with other handsome guys. The justice she wants to beg for is seen by some people as the part that must be sacrificed in order to achieve great things, and the constant pursuit of the truth kills her good partner.
Confused, distrusted, and deceived, she has made many mistakes, and she has also been discouraged and timid, but in the end, she is the one who persevered and moved forward bravely. In the system, acting according to the rules, hoping to be punished by the law, Madani is like the other side of Frank. Her final alliance and mutual salvation with Frank is her betrayal of the system and her understanding of the punisher, as well as the punisher's concession and compromise to the laws and rules.
2 families
A loving couple, a pair of lovely children, a suburban house, a typical American family. Frank and David, Punisher and Chip, two very different characters, two male masters of similar families, are drawn together.
Chip is not an otaku hiding at home, or a hacker who fantasizes about absolute freedom, he is a government employee with a family and a house. He would cook dinner with his wife all the time, he would get the plumbing repaired, and he would let his wife drive when he was out. Maybe such a person should accept the high salary of Silicon Valley and enjoy the sunshine of the West Coast, but he chooses to work for the country and freedom, is it stupid? When the sin is revealed, he can turn a blind eye and stay out of it, but he chooses to reveal the truth, is it stupid?
His stupidity and gentleness are what the family loves and what Frank admires. Those who dare to fight and dare to kill are real men, those who are afraid of being beaten and afraid of being killed, but who still dare to uphold their conscience and justice are also stalwart heroes.
In order to protect his family, David chose to fake death to escape, but he brought endless pain to his wife and children. Seeing Frank getting along well with his family, David envies and blames himself. Frank also gained solace and peace in getting along with this family. He was willing to take risks and appeared again and again in this family that did not belong to him, acting as the master of the house. This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench his thirst. The more he feels the warmth of his family, the more he sinks into the pain of revenge.
One family goes from being broken to being reunited, and the other is broken and cannot be reunited again.
a pair of CPs
In Daredevil 2, Frank and Karen were still cult CPs, but they have become popular CPs in Punisher 1. Karen is the first person to walk into the inner world of the Punisher, she sees the former Frank, and Frank is also the first person to see through the dark side of Karen's heart. There is no moral accusation between them, but understanding and sympathy, and admiration for the courage, justice and persistence of each other.
When they reunited on the streets of New York, Frank said to Karen, "You're still so kind." In the New York night, Karen asked Frank, when is a head? When will he be freed from this revenge battle. Sin City, where a good heart meets a broken heart.
When Karen was caught in a bomb crisis and held hostage, Frank panicked, she couldn't do anything! For an entire episode, he cut through all obstacles and fought hard for her. Finally, in the elevator, Karen looked at Frank, who was covered in injuries, and a thousand words turned into a determined look. "Let's go, let's go!" Frank approached her, not kissing but saying goodbye, "Take care". When he left, Karen burst into tears. There are not too many words to express between them, and there is a feeling that cannot be expressed in words
last enemy
In fact, the series has never tried to hide the villains, just to let the audience see the protagonists in a hurry when they seek the truth. Frank has always trusted his comrades from birth to death, and as he said, he prefers to be with his comrades. He came home with such a life-and-death friend, introduced him to his wife and children, and went to the playground together, but this life-and-death friend betrayed him and watched his family slaughtered.
Bill is a person who lacks love and will not love. He can feel that the family treats him well, and he is willing to be kind to them as long as his own interests are not damaged, but once his own interests are involved, he becomes a A downright cold-blooded animal. The same is true for comrades in arms, and the same is true for women.
Some people say that the villain in Punisher is not strong enough, but this is the real world. The protagonist has no special abilities, and the villain does not have mecha battleships or peerless big moves, but he has the assistance of violent institutions and the cover of the system. The repression in the early stage of the episode is all to meet the final outbreak. Frank has nothing, and the Punisher still has blood and unyielding will!
Those who know the current affairs are handsome, those who follow the trend are wise, and those who can go against the current are chivalrous. What a hero, for chivalry, justice, family and friends, although thousands of people have gone, this is Frank, this is the punisher.
