Who lives next door to Iron Man

I always feel that "Iron Man" is something adapted from a comic, because it is too easy to remind me of many comics I read when I was young. I thought and thought hard, among those distant names, I thought of Masamune Shirou and "Gun Dream". It's been so long, I remember the girl's face, I remember her sitting on the high steel ruins, but I can't remember the storyline, I only vaguely remember it, it seems to be talking about how people become machines. This proposition is too modernist and too Marxist. So a little old and a little heavy. Fortunately, this is a movie from the 1980s, and now we don't make such scary things anymore - because these lack of euphoria really don't fit the whole postmodern cultural situation. "Iron Man" was very bloody, and it was the kind of bloody that had a nightmarish temperament. When I woke up with screws on my face, and then my body continued to steel, this is not a science fiction movie, and it will never give people a reasonable cause and effect. Alienation is alienation, and the absurd life does not need to be explained, it is so straightforward. The film is very reminiscent of Lynch's "Eraser Head", the same black and white tone, the same industrial social space, the same body fear, the same irresistible non-human... The protagonists in the two films are under the pressure of great fear and pressure, as long as they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss of doom. I always feel that Tsukamoto was also influenced by "Red Desert" when shooting this film. Antonioni's shadow can be found in the industrial noise in the background sound at the beginning of the film, the repeated misaligned pipes above the characters in the upward shot, and the dirty outer edge of the factory. So "Iron Man" is modernism, not postmodernism. Although it looks very postmodern in the use of lens language - portable photography, MV-style lens movement, stage lighting, singing and dancing insertion - its main force still remains on the discussion of the essential meaning of people in the rising period of industry . If the protagonist of the German expressionist masterpiece "Dr. Caligari" is the set of the expressionist painting, then the real protagonist of "Iron Man" should be the noise rock background music in the film. In the reappearance of the theme music, the mood continued to rise, and finally the "iron men" completed the transformation from human to steel, male and male combined (this is very queer movie spirit), and finally evolved into the iron god of war, rushing to the vast City. The phallus of steel, the fingers of steel, the will of steel have hurt myself and others. The flesh has rotted, the steel has rusted, and life is like a machine. There is still a day when we can "reshape the world into steel." I don't know why I thought of what Gilbert wrote in "A Clockwork Orange": Our modern history is not about using these small bodies to resist those big ones. machine? Western society has inadvertently entered the post-industrial era, and we are the victims of the industrial upswing. Those things that are too appalling, I would rather believe that it is the media's strategy to attract attention, otherwise the bloody cases on the assembly line will not be finished for days and nights. When I heard about "Iron Man" in the past, I did not rule out the natural yearning for all the rebellious young people in the literature and art, but today I don't feel that there is much pioneering in "Iron Man", but feel sad. The class brethren who lost their arms and legs in the factory, the petty bourgeoisie who died of overwork in front of the computer, and the glamorous positions exploited by real capitalists with no dignity, let alone creativity, we all failed. Evolve into Iron Man. Anti-social and anti-human are outdated, and now we want harmony. btw, my friend once asked me what would you do if the world came to an end. I said, hold my computer on the Internet for a day. We are a group of people who cannot live without a computer, and even lose contact without a computer in our relationship. It can be said that the computer is my whole world, and perhaps in this sense, I am also an iron man. My friends once asked me what would you do if the world came to an end.
