Hardcore Henry's Plot Analysis

Syble 2022-03-23 09:02:06

The plot is quite complete. The plot is compact and gives a sense of release. The plot is quite simple, but the use of interlude makes the audience need to use their brains to associate. Henry is a military experiment, a war robot. Scientists employed by Jimmy's big company, and the boss is the boss of the big company. Jimmy invented a cyborg, but the first operation experiment was unsuccessful, the boss broke his spine, and Jimmy studied robots by himself. Jimmy's robot is a consciousness-transforming body, and he has many clones that can transform his consciousness. (This plot is reflected in the play as an interlude. In fact, putting it in the first paragraph will reduce the difficulty of viewing. The director must be very clear, but why not? There is a reason for this, please read further.)

The boss created Henry and intercepted the previous memory of Henry's brain, making him a blank man, in order to facilitate stealing his new memory.

The boss's wife sacrificed for the plan and became the wife of all cyborgs, including Henry. Henry woke up, and the people from the company came in. In fact, they were on the same plane all the time. All of this was acting. The purpose was to train Henry, and then steal Henry's stress response ability, so that the company would produce countless numbers. Improved "Henry", and then use them to rule the world.

Jimmy has been helping Henry. In fact, Jimmy is also using Henry. From beginning to end, Jimmy only wants revenge, that is, killing the person who broke his spine - the former company owner.

Based on the above, the film unfolds from Henry's perspective. By using the interlude method, it directly skips the process of Jimmy's research on clones and the company's research on cyborgs. Because at the same time as the interlude is adopted, the timeline directly crosses the research and manufacture of robots, and is full of fragments of scientific theories.

Since the movie is launched from Henry's perspective, the early stage is naturally a bit confusing. Henry always thought that the boss's wife was his wife, so when Jimmy instructed him to attack the company staff, he was so obedient, because he also had his own personal reasons, that is, to save his wife.

Jimmy was his savior. Jimmy helped him more than once, because as far as Jimmy is concerned, confronting a big consortium is obviously a man of arms. So Jimmy needs him as much as he needs Jimmy to keep him alive.

The disparity in power has always been obvious, and at the end, Jimmy failed to defeat the big consortium, at least until he survived. And Henry got his wish for him, but Jimmy couldn't see it.

Jimmy's inner feelings are very simple, he just wants to kill the person who makes his second brother unable to rise again, and also for this reason, he is so lecherous. In the play, he manipulated clones more than once to play with women.

The Jimmy character is finished like this. He is the task of connecting the plot in the mid-term. In fact, without Jimmy, the show would not exist, and there would not be any cyborgs. And the ending is naturally a confrontation between the protagonist and the villain. Here Henry has an emotional scene, and the source of his strength for which he worked was almost destroyed.

Jimmy was madly chased and killed. When he collapsed on the roof of a building and had no one to help him, he was told that the wife he had been trying to save was actually an elaborate lie. God.

And in the end, the new source of power, minus the two previous injections of adrenaline, was the brief but real recollection of his childhood as a child. Jimmy told him before his death that his memories were real, believe him. Henry, who fell to the ground, finally mustered up his strength, cut off the boss's head and leaped to the helicopter.

He has to deal with this stinky woman who cheated on his feelings, but how can a tough guy beat and kick a woman? Obviously, this is not hardcore style. So the stinky woman shot Henry with a gun, but the bullet bounced and hit her in the shoulder. She wasn't dead yet. The woman took two steps and then accidentally fell outside the door of the plane, hanging herself with her hands so as not to fall.

"Listen to your heart," the woman said to Henry, with Mrs. Kubota Mara written in her eyes. She underestimated Henry's IQ, and at the same time, she also overestimated her wonderful figure. When his life was dying, he was still talking about false love in exchange for a chance for himself. You must know that Henry can be completely injured by her.

So, following his heart, Henry reached out and slammed the warehouse door down and closed, "Bang!" Through the high-performance airtightness of the helicopter, a woman's scream came from the air outside. Her hands must have been pinched by the barn door, and the hard ground will be waiting for her.

Tough guys never beat women, but women kill themselves. Even closing the plane door at the end was done by the woman herself.
