Enlightenment of my gender-conscious aesthetic

When I was a child, I wanted to watch "True Lies", but my dad reprimanded him, so I could only watch it secretly, but it was nothing...so much so that when I grew up many years later, when I look back on it, apart from those two very fragrant tango episodes, it turned out that Jimmy Lee Curtis's lace dance is the essence. If I want to come to my childhood, it is simply to watch a fun, and the erotic part of commercial films is completely ignored by the young and ignorant me.

"True Lies", as the first real Hollywood action blockbuster to be introduced to the mainland, shows almost all the elements that make a commercial film successful. I don't know if the audience at that time was very happy, after all, whether it was me as a child or later The me or the me now, all the elements and passages are very familiar. This is the pain of watching "classic", maybe it is the originator film, and later generations have borrowed too much and turned into "rotten stalks". Still, it's cool.

Commercial films must make efforts to cater to the market. Action films with strong muscles and blood vessels will definitely have beauties and sex as adjustments, or elements that attract box office, food color, and this is the primitive nature of human beings. It must be said that some directors, straight male directors have really first-class aesthetics, and director Cameron is one of them.

When I was young, I didn't think that Sister Curtis was good-looking at first glance, maybe this was also the director's intention. (Thinking about it now, my sister is not only good-looking, but her acting skills are also unremarkable.) At first, she appeared as a conservative secretary and a housewife, with only a beautiful leg leaking out of the messy bed. And through the mouth of the liar to tell the audience how attractive her double peaks and buttocks are. Until Schwarzenegger played the spy game, my sister tore off the excess burden, and a perfect little black dress could make everyone's eyes shine.

The gorgeous clothes receded, and the body under the sexy lace underwear was uneven, and the flesh was evenly distributed. When lying on the bed, it was really superb. At this time, no one can resist the temptation, and neither can Schwarzenegger. Thank you Director Mei!

With such patience in showing the charm of the heroine, it can be seen that the director has advanced understanding and respect for women. In addition, there are some small details, for example, the terrorists are going to put the nuclear bomb on the table, and the bad girl quickly takes the bag off the table. Another example is that when the villain mocks the hostess as a housewife, the hostess slaps her and scratches the other person's face with the diamonds on the wedding ring. I have remembered this detail for a long time, and I will think of it again when I see it slapped in the face with a ring. In the end, the heroine pretended to grab the liar's chin, but in fact it was a lipstick - isn't lipstick a weapon for women, Mei Dao, how can you predict the lipstick economic boom in 20 years?

True Lies quotes

  • Simon: [leaning on Simon's corvette, having lunch] Okay, just ask yourself: What do women really want? You take these bored housewives, married to the same guy for years, they're stuck in a rut, then need some release! Promise of adventure, a hint of danger. I create that for them.

    Harry: So basically, your lying your ass off the whole time. See, I can't do that.

    Simon: What are you, a boy scout? No, no, no, think of it as playing a role as fantasy. I mean, you got to work on their dreams. Get them out of their daily surburban grind for a few hours.

    Harry: But what about their husbands?

    Simon: Dickless! I mean, let's face it, if they took care of business, I'd be out of business! You know what I mean?

    Harry: [fake laughs] Those idiots!
