Brazil, a Latin American country that combines prosperous, developed, corrupt, violent, drug-infested, sinful and dirty, these contradictory adjectives, is very much like the magical realist Latin American continent depicted in "One Hundred Years of Solitude". Such a land is indeed the best cradle and background for violent aesthetics. Art comes from life. What kind of sparks will emerge when Brazil, which is already full of violence, encounters violent aesthetics? The Brazilian movie "Elite Force" is such a classic and unconventional masterpiece of violent aesthetics. It has the same shooting technique as a documentary, a chaotic and broken timeline, a fleeting moment of footage, a depressing dark tone, and a scoop of blood. Spilling, the violent scenes seem to have no scale: headshots, shootings, torture to extract confessions, torture... A real violent aesthetic film, the slow-paced storyline chaos in the early stage will really dissuade a large number of impatient audiences. The first half focuses on depicting the chaos in Rio de Janeiro. The salaries of the police are pitifully low, and they don't want to go to hell with drug dealers for these salaries. Instead, they make money and take bribes, as if they were just criminal gangs wearing police clothes. The superiors even murdered the inferiors because they ate their own kickbacks. , the whole Rio de Janeiro system is like shit, dirty and disgusting. No matter how dark and sinful places are, there will be hope and justice. The title Elite Force is such an existence that dares to fight to the end with any crime. The protagonist Nassimon has a bitter face when he appears, and he wants to return as a first-time father. The family, however, was unable to find a successor and could not leave. The responsibilities of family and justice made him breathless, and he had been struggling with himself in entanglement and pain. The recruits Netu and Andrew were typical young people with passion and ideals. They were dissatisfied with the status quo of society. Dissatisfied with the chaos and corruption of his constitution, he wanted to join the elite army to fight evil, and the impulsive Neitu became the ideal heir of the protagonist. The film started to exert its strength from the middle stage. The hell-style selection training filled the whole film with violent hormones, and also cheered up the sleepy audience in the early stage. The climax of the film was because Netu went to the slum for Andrew to make an appointment. After being shot and killed by a local drug dealer, Nassimone finally stopped thinking about evading the responsibility of justice when he returned home, but focused on revenge for Neitu. In the end, the film ended with Andrew's headshot to the drug dealer. In fact, the story line of this film is not complicated, and it is still a relatively conventional revenge plot, but the actors' acting skills and the filming technique that is close to a documentary make the audience feel as if they have experienced it themselves and cannot extricate themselves. An excellent film of violent aesthetics is not just to pursue the thrill of blood, to pursue the secretion of adrenaline brought by violence, and to make people admire violence, but to make people reflect on violence and discover some things behind violence. . What bothers me the most in the film is the lack of justice and social chaos. It symbolizes the righteous police who corrupt and take bribes and get along with drug dealers. The patron saint of maintaining the ghetto system turns out to be drug dealers. What people believe in is violence, not legal justice. How sad is the country? And the reason for the chaos in this country is simply because of drug trafficking? Because of corruption? No, it is said in the film that the reason why Rio de Janeiro is so chaotic is because of guns and drugs, and where do drug dealers get the money to buy guns, and to whom are their drugs sold? are the rich. And I think the essence of these reasons is because of the unreasonable and chaotic social system, the difference between the rich and the poor If the distance is too large, the security and salaries of the police officers are negligible. On the one hand, the rich provide funds for drug dealers to create chaos, and on the other hand, they complain about the inaction of the police. To stretch out, we can only commit ourselves to reality and sin, which has resulted in repeated depravity like positive feedback regulation, resulting in today's situation. The irony is that when the rich were tortured and killed by drug dealers whom they regarded as friends, people just protested the inaction of the police without thinking about who made the drug dealers so rampant. No matter how powerful the elite troops are, no matter how many drug dealers they kill or how many guns they collect, it won't help, because if you fight the whole unreasonable system by yourself, there will be no other result than sacrifice, but there must always be someone to protect justice and dedicate itself to justice. , isn't it? I want to say that people who are too fragile don't watch this movie, it will really break your glass heart, and after watching the movie, you just feel so cool, so exciting, and even bloody and beautiful, it's really unacceptable Understand that those violent scenes will actually happen to the anti-drug police in our country. What I see is only the danger and greatness of the anti-drug police, and fortunately that we live in such a peaceful era, the stability of our social system With the greatness of the country, at least no one will come to your house in full force in the middle of the night. I hope that our country will never become the Rio de Janeiro in the movie, and the anti-drug police will one day not have to sacrifice themselves. Besides, drug addicts are all idiots and can never be forgiven. ——Feelings of watching "Elite Troops" 2020 March 19 Zhang Qianzhi
