Although the country still has to wait for review, the official release date is tomorrow (7.9). But since 6.29, many places have been able to watch the pre-release version, and today I was the first to watch this "Black Widow" in the cinema.

In terms of storytelling, this movie may indeed be a little bit worse. But in essence, as a superhero popcorn movie, "Black Widow" can be explosive, laughable, emotional, and there is no urine point throughout (because I watched the morning movie at 9 o'clock in the morning, I went to the cinema with a yawn, but after the broadcast, for 2 hours, I never yawned once). Such a passionate movie is indeed "worth the fare."

(The following content contains spoilers. Some of the sentence excerpts may not be completely accurate, but the meaning is definitely the same. In addition, since the movie theater cannot take pictures, we can only use the screenshots of the trailer and some net pictures to fool it.)

The movie "Black Widow" has two main lines, one is about the Red Room "recycling" the girls discarded by the world and training them to become the popcorn storyline of the widow. As for the other line, Natasha finds the "family" of his childhood and repairs the relationship with them.

So at the beginning, the movie portrayed a happy family-after the young Natasha's sister Yelena fell, his mother Melina would rush to help. But at this moment, Melina suddenly said something thought-provoking

"Pain only make you stronger."

Afterwards, the three of them went home after watching the fireflies in the forest. However, his father Alexei walked in with a solemn expression, saying that there was still an hour, and then the family of four hurriedly drove the plane and ran away. With Alexei knocking over an agricultural vehicle, it turns out that you are still a superpower!

The picture turned, the pursuer came, and there was a dazzling S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on the body. After a fierce gun battle, the family managed to escape to Cuba.

However, Natasha suddenly took a gun here and shouted emotionally: "She is only 6!" (She is only 6 years old!) Who is only 6 years old? Of course Yelena. But why mention age? "Father" Alexei said at this time that you were younger than her. The story revealed was obvious, that is, the two were going to be sent to the red room. In some flashing pictures, after briefly talking about the situation of the two being sent to the red room, the time came after the US team 3 airport civil war.

Due to the civil war at the airport, Natasha finally let go of the American team and began to be wanted. After getting rid of the chasing forces, Natasha retired to Norway.

On the other side, Yelena, together with other widows, was ordered to kill a former widow who had defected. After pursuing and hitting the opponent alone, the potions released by the opponent let Yelena get rid of the control of the red room and regain herself, and finally defected with the remaining potions, and gave these potions to Natasha through the safe house.

So when Natasha brought the same pile of packages and happily drove down the mountain, Taskmaster imitated the master and made a grand appearance. As soon as he appeared, he blasted the car and slammed Natasha, and kicked Natasha down the river.

Open the box containing the potion. Where's the potion? It turned out that Natasha had just taken the opportunity to steal the potion onto herself, and only an empty box was left. So, who made you so cheap and kicked her down the river?

With the potion, Natasha found Yelena. The two sisters first fought hand-to-hand to express their feelings, and then they were found by the Red Room...

Then came a long period of gun battles and wits, and rescued his father Alexei, who was imprisoned in the Red Room, and set off to find the Red Room's chief engineer and mother Melina, who is still helping the Red Room.

In the process, Yelena teased that Natasha was posing there before every battle, and she also shared her beloved green vest with Natasha. Looking at this picture, my heart screamed madly-I TM? ? Sister, why are you crazy about leaving Natasha with your "relics"? Are you afraid it will be cold...

Yelena on the far right, wearing the green vest

Then after finding Melina, after the family's "father and son filial piety", Alexei went to Yelena to talk alone, and Melina went to Natasha. The director cleverly separated the two places of heart-to-heart talk, and created a visual difference to prepare for the subsequent tension and suspense.

On Natasha's side, Melina kept saying that you can't kill the big boss Dreykov in the red room, and then said that Natasha's true mother had died under Dreykov's hand, telling Natasha that she shouldn't have too much memory of the past. But Natasha saw that on the bookshelf at this time, Melina still kept Natasha and Yelena's childhood photo album, and found that Melina was only unwilling to look back because of her pain. So Natasha said:

"'Pain only make you stronger', that's what you taught me, and it helps me walk through these years." These years have passed.)

Melina therefore decided to face her past, and she suddenly told Natasha that she had notified the Red Room that they would come anytime.

The screen changes, Yelena and Alexei slowly untie their knots, and Alexei sits next to the window (when I saw this, I seriously suspected that a bullet would fly in from outside and blow his head directly, thus further awakening Yelena...Although there is nothing in the end...), and suddenly saw the plane in the Red Room.

Alexei put on his helmet as the Red Guardian, ready to fight against the soldiers in the Red Room, but... handsome in just one second, and in the next second, countless anesthesia bombs are shot from the outside, the great Red Guardian who "fights against Captain America" collapsed! (Many people in the movie theater laughed directly)

While laughing, I couldn’t help feeling nervous. On the other side, when Melina said that the people in the red room were coming, there was obviously no helicopter sound in the background. Why didn’t Natasha and the others inform Yelena?

As Yelena searched the house with a gun, the "truth" was revealed. It turned out that Natasha was knocked unconscious in the bathroom. At this time, Melina appeared in a black tights and stunned Yelena.

In the next scene, "Melina" flew a plane and sent a few people to the real Red Room headquarters-a floating city. To be honest, I feel that there are two bugs here. One is why did "Melina" know the way and fly to the Red Room headquarters by herself? The second one is the so big floating headquarters. It seems that there is no invisible opening. Is it invisible to the satellite, or invisible to the naked eye when there is no cloud?

At the floating headquarters, Alexei and Natasha were locked up in a single luxury glass bed and big window room, while Melina went to see the red room boss Dreykov. Dreykov asked Melina to control Natasha with chemicals, and he wanted to use the antidote to unlock the control of Yelena's craniotomy to dissect the brain to study how to make the antidote no longer work.

But Dreykov suddenly said at this time that Natasha didn't use any disguise in front of his "family", and "Melina" pulled off the high-tech mask, she turned out to be Natasha! And the master of imitation also took off the mask at this time, she turned out to be the daughter of Dreykov who was accidentally injured by Natasha who used it to kill Dreykov back then!

Then, on the other side, Yelena has been tied to the operating table, with a line drawn on her head, ready to be alive with a craniotomy. I couldn't help feeling tense at this time, thinking: Wouldn't it be Melina wearing a mask and pretending to be Yelena, wanting to die for it?

But as soon as the camera turned, Alexei, who was in the prison, was lying on the glass door and voicing his heart to "Natasha" next door, but suddenly the glass door opened and Alexei half fell to the ground in a funny way, and "Natasha" next door. Said that he designed this prison and took off the mask. It turned out that Melina and Natasha had exchanged identities.

Eh wait? Then sister Yelena is going to die? ? The screenwriter returned my pretty lady! ! At this moment, Melina suddenly pressed her ears to speak, it turned out to be communicating with Yelena through headphones. She told Yelena with earphones that there was a blade on the thigh of Yelena's white tights, and then Yelena cut off the belt that bound the play, and killed all the doctors...emmm...when the enemy is undergoing a live craniotomy, there shouldn't be some fighting. Did the staff look at it? Why is there only a doctor? Your villain failed...

Then, the basics are bang bang bang, bang bang bang, and bang bang bang.

And one of the jokes in this story is that when Yelena jumped from the vent, she learned Natasha's classic pose, and then instantly got up and complained that it was too disgusting. In an instant, almost the whole theater burst into laughter hh.

Hey, the big boss Dreykov is about to take a helicopter to run away. At this moment, Yelena jumped directly into the helicopter, echoing the scene of Alexei jumping on the helicopter in the beginning. But Alexei was trying to escape, and Yelena was trying to destroy the propeller, detonating the helicopter and killing Dreykov.

Yelena spit out that this method of death was very interesting, and then inserted the stick weapon in her hand into the propeller. The high-speed rotating propeller was destroyed, and instantly burst into flames, blowing Yelena out of the sky.

My heart is instantly refreshed,? Screenwriter, you just want to kill the beautiful young lady... Ah, right,? Screenwriter, you just want to kill Natasha's hard-to-repair family? ? ? Screenwriter to grandpa! ! !

But seeing Natasha grabbing the parachute bag in an instant, he chased and jumped down, put Yelena on the bag and opened the parachute. After landing, Natasha confronted the master of imitation. At first, she thought that Dreykov would not brainwash and control her daughter, and the master of imitation chased her because Natasha disfigured her. But after the language communication failed, Natasha sprinkled one of the two remaining bottles of potion, and the master imitator finally regained his sanity... Good guy, Dreykov, this guy, even his own daughter is brainwashed and controlled, it's very outrageous (spread hands).

After Natasha awakened Yelena who was unconscious on the ground, Alexei, Melina, and the widows who had been released came out.

When the others were leaving first and Natasha decided to stay and try to mend the Avengers relationship, Yelena gave her beloved green vest to Natasha at this time.

Two weeks later, Natasha was wearing that green vest, riding a motorcycle to find the whole film, and was always helping her friends. The friend found a high-end jet at the request of Natasha to leave for the Red Room Sky Headquarters.

And Natasha said that he has two families, and he has repaired the relationship of one of them, and it is time to repair the relationship of the other family.

The plane flew away, and fireflies flew into the forest from the sky.

...

I have to say that after I came out of the theater, I really wanted to blow the head of the screenwriter. Pretty skinny? Persecuted Yelena frantically, constantly pretending to kill her, playing with the fragile feelings of our audience...

Well, back to the film, the core of the film is very clear-from the beginning Natasha said that he has a family, that is Avengers, but my friends said that Avengers was split. Are they still your family now? The so-called "happy family" at the beginning of the film is actually a fake, pretended for spying missions.

And this point has a high degree of overlap with the image of agents and spies in the eyes of our ordinary people-the agents in our eyes are precisely the kind of people who go incognito and walk alone in order not to involve their family members. Natasha, who started the game, is correct in this kind of image.

For many years, Natasha has hidden complaints about this childhood "family" in her heart. But after re-contacting her "sister" Yelena, "father" Alexei, and "mother" Melina, she gradually began to re-recognize her former "family"...

During the "reunion" of the "family", Natasha became angry and cursed "father" Alexei for only indulging in the glory of the past, while cursing "mother" Melina as a coward, she burst out the emotions that had been hidden in her heart for many years , Bluntly said that the so-called "family" as a child is simply fake.

But Yelena was also angry at this time and denied. She cried and said that the "family" when she was a child was real because it was the only fond memory she had left. Therefore, this beautiful memory of only a few years, it [must] be true...

The reason for this disagreement, I personally think, is that when the undercover agent pretended to be a family, Natasha was already a ten-year-old girl who could think rationally, and Yelena was just a little girl under 6 years old. After that, the two have been forced to enter the red room, and all they have experienced are training, beating and scolding. In this case, the older Natasha can still think about the experience more rationally, but Yelena can only preserve the good memories of this childhood more emotionally, so as to deceive herself to have a living. power.

So from the beginning of the movie, it can be seen that Natasha and Yelena have a very good relationship. For Yelena's safety, Natasha can even take the risk of grabbing a gun to protect her. Therefore, after Natasha vomits her hidden emotions quickly, she will easily be affected by Yelena, so she can rethink whether this period of time can "become real". It can even be said that when Yelena introduced her green vest to Natasha, Natasha had already begun to be slowly influenced by her.

Young Natasha grabs a gun at a military base

Later, she found the album that Melina had secretly saved on the bookshelf, allowing her to further recognize this "home" again. In the end, she chose to trust Melina and infiltrated the air base of the Red Room as planned.

When the most basic "trust" of a family appears, then this family has become real.

From the initial denial of recognition, reluctance to recall, and the perception of "fake" home, to the final identification with this home, with this family, and with relatives in this family, this is the core emotional perfusion used by this film to impress the audience.

There may be viewers who think that the emotion of this film is not strong, and the overall look is a bit flat. Indeed, this emotion may not be as "vigorous" as in "Avengers 4", but this emotion is even more "moisturizing and silent". After watching this film, I was indeed cured. Feeling.

Many people are saying that after watching this movie, there is a feeling that Natasha is dead in Reunion 4. Knowing the ending, the family story in the middle has been difficult to evoke emotions. But I personally think that this drama does make this character more three-dimensional and full.

From the reunion 4, the US team said that Natasha has no family, and this drama tells us-she does, she has family members who trust each other, and she has family members who love her deeply.

From Avengers 4, Natasha finally chose to sacrifice Barton, and this drama tells us-the reason is because her family is all spies, compared to Barton’s family is just ordinary people, her family is obviously better." Bear" a death.

From the Avengers 4, Natasha is dead, and this drama tells us-in the end, she hasn't had time to see her family for the last time, she hasn't had time to share her experience as Avengers with her family, and she hasn't had time to experience it again with her family. The joyful ordinary family life when I was young...

This film exposes so many stories behind Natasha's sacrifice-she is no longer only born for missions for life, and eventually died alone, and she also has her own home, her own regrets, and her own good memories...

In this case, I think this drama has succeeded in making Natasha's image more three-dimensional and fuller.

Personally, female audiences should be more able to feel this emotion and be touched by it. For male audiences, this may be just a good-looking, eye-catching, eye-catching explosion (in various senses). The rice flower movie is out.

PS So there are easter eggs at the end of the credits? I'm so angry, I got up and left when I saw the black and white production team list this morning. I didn't see any easter eggs... (bowl throwing)
