"The Scimitar" originated from the fake trailer in the "Mill" that Rodriguez and Pi Zikun originally filmed. I was really looking forward to it when I first watched it. The plot of this time will naturally be faced with how to make the feature film look better than the trailer. A reliable problem. In this regard, Rodriguez’s tactics are intensive bombardment of multiple elements and B-level films. The climax of the whole movie is constant, with fists, knives, and heavy weapons. When these climaxes fade, it is the men and women in exchange. Very B-level film style, to put it bluntly, this is called an orgasm, the whole movie is an orgasm movie. However, this gives Danny Tejo room to show his own characteristics. In fact, it can not be said that this guy can't play more connotations except for fighting and killing. He is just a long-term run of a macho form in a B-level film. How much is the audience's impression of it With a certainty, he occasionally played a very considerate and good man at home in "Baby Shirley", which made me feel uncomfortable. In "Machete", he can enjoy himself. A big knife fits his sturdy shape. At the beginning, he didn't like to use a gun. The style of using the big knife is already strong, and the pain of losing his wife is already painful. , Was framed again, and made him angry. Rodriguez used the "Qiong Yao-style" technique of planting all the misfortunes that the B-class heroes may endure on the scimitar to make a tragic hero rise up, behind Naturally, killing is justified.
Rodriguez actually introduced a very serious theme in this film, that is, the issue of immigration. As we all know, the southern United States has been increasing in Spanish from Mexico, Cuba and other places in recent years, which has caused the United States. Some people have backlashed. As described in Southern Weekend, there is a "patriotic party" in the United States, which strongly urges the expulsion of illegal immigrants and regards "fluent English" as the first element of immigration. In the film, Robert De Niro played John • When McLaurin rallied, the details that someone saw someone holding a sign saying "The country needs you to speak English" may come from the party and the social background behind it. Rodriguez, as a brother with a Spanish cultural background, seems to have to say something about the rights of his brothers in this film. Therefore, immigration policy has become the background of the film, but it is interpreted as a spoof by nasty fun and ridicule. . The older and the more naughty De Niro is once again an old naughty boy in this film, and his role as a congressman is full of comic style, which adds a lot to the film. Jeff Fay is the coolest character in the film. He always squints his eyes. That temperament and the hidden influence behind the scenes are very evil. It is also an indispensable character in the B film, but he spies his daughter's nasty in his heart. And the subsequent series of performances gave him a comic-like taste. In fact, the negative characters of the entire film were comiced by Rodriguez’s evil taste, making him appear sinister and vicious, without a bottom line, and at the same time cowardly and flustered. , Being strong in the outside world and doing in the middle, gave the film a special humorous taste. The previously anticipated Jessica Alba has become a character who plays soy sauce thoroughly. It makes you feel that aside from provoking gimmicks, this role can be played by any individual. Is it possible to save some budget? However, Michel Rodriguez is still very vigorous without changing her demeanor.
As a stylized genre, the B-level film is very important in terms of creativity and nasty taste. At this point, the film still strives for some tricks. In the first fight of the opening, a woman hid her mobile phone in her lower body, and was able to take out the clip of the call that really made me stunned. In the first battle in the hospital, the idea of opening people up and using their intestines as ropes for the stairs was even more imaginative. In the past, such bridge sections were usually covered with boring sheets. However, these ideas are still a bit of a slap, and most of the other scenes seem to be familiar. The most disappointing thing is that many scenes are not excessive, fragmented and far-fetched. From this point of view, "Machete" is somewhat like a B-level film. "Transformers 2", high-density, without too much innovation to fight and kill, it is inevitable that people will be aesthetically tired. For example, the pool scimitar and the two girls cuddled up for a period of time, but they took care of the previous pseudo-trailer shots. Although as a viewer, I am happy to see the exposed shots, the shots of this period are really inexplicable and unnatural. And Michelle Rodriguez's one-eyed gun-up style is more than a little bit paler than the scene in which Rose Maikhai used a series of dance techniques to show the power of the machine gun legs in "Planet of Horror". As a B-rated film, "The Scimitar" still maintains a high level of entertainment and viewing, and the scenes and styles are still enjoyable to watch, but this enjoyment brings the feeling of fast food, and you forget it after you watch it. This is enough. But with Rodriguez’s level, he always brings you some exciting surprises outside of the enjoyment, and this "Machete", the surprise is missing, and the excitement of the killing actually brings some surprises. It's dull, but Danny Tejo's sturdy aura can finally run through a film for such a long time. This alone is worth seeing the film for the majority of B film fans.
