In recent years, Goddess Theron seems to be fascinated by the role of "beating women", racing in the wasteland ("Mad Max: Fury Road"
Driving a submarine on a snowy field ("Fast and Furious 8")
Or become a witch and fight the wits and courage of the model worker ("Hunter: Winter War")
It seemed that she couldn't satisfy her desire for a pure action film, so in 17 years, Theron used a "Cold City" to stage a female version, a spy version of "Quick Chase"
And this year, the action film "Eternal Guard", which is full of close combat and close shootout, probably gave Theron another cool shot.
It's just probably, it made her feel good...
When watching a movie, it’s very easy to compare the movie with Hammer’s "Shocking Rescue" a while ago, both of which are produced by Netflix, and are also action movies dominated by close-up shootouts. Of course, there is such a movie in "Eternal Guard". The gimmick of immortality, although I felt that there were many clichés in the story of "Shocking Rescue", but the action was at least relatively good, and the completion of a long-shot action scene in it was also very high.
But on the other hand, "The Guardian of the Immortal" is really backward in all aspects. The plot is hard to describe. At the same time, in order to take care of political correctness, blacks, women's rights, and homosexuals are added madly, and the most anticipated action scenes are probably also Because of funding reasons, it became less refreshing, and the whole film was probably only shown by Theron a few times on his own basis. And in the rest of the time, it was filled with time with uninspired plots and the morality of the virgin bitch.
Instead of this, it is better to reduce the length of the film to 90 minutes, perhaps the plot can be more compact.
Spoiler alert
Immortality is not a new idea. The most famous ones such as "This Man Comes From Earth", in fact, are somewhat similar to the role of Sialon in some plots. They also have lived for many years, and they are also involved in many key points of historical development, but In the film, there is obviously no such deep discussion involved. Things like history only appear as background, not as the focus of discussion.
Self-healing is something that has already been played badly. Just these years of comic movies, whether it is the "Wolverine" series or the "Deadpool" series, or even Van Diesel's "Bloodman" a while ago , Sad self-healing, spoof self-healing, and cool self-healing under technological means have basically been played all over.
And this film is the beginning of a series (at least it seems to have this plan, I doubt whether it can be made into a series), as the protagonist, Theron lost his ability after only half of the film, which seems to be Wolverine skipped directly. A bunch of X-Men movies and the first two single-player movies. I jumped to "Wolverine 3: Desperate Battle" thinking about rendering sadness. Is this a bit too fast?
But the director told us that although Theron looked like a protagonist, he was actually trying to get our little black girl out to save the scene. In the end, it was a double heroine movie.
Double heroines? The little black girl is not happy anymore, Black lives matter, feminism is supreme, and I am still a gay...
No, no, the director shook his head. The gay role was taken away by the two men, but your skin is dark, and you are also very powerful.
As a result, Hei Mei took on the most important role of "character growth" in the whole movie. Although none of us want to watch Hei Mei be all over the world, it's a pity that Theron is so old and can still afford it, so Hei Mei can only cope with it. You can get out of the enemy's den with some poisonous chicken soup.
The enemy is naturally a heinous elite group represented by white men. My impression of him is still the melancholy and disabled boy who was thrown off the cliff by Limnison in "Baster's Ballad". This time he turned into a head. Domineering president with a little cramp.
Why do you think your head is a little cramped? I didn’t lie to you. As soon as the movie opened, he came out to fool the people and said that we had some major technological breakthroughs. The result was not relying on the immortal warriors who dared to spit and brag in front of investors. In fact, this The technical horoscope has not yet been written, and even before the ppt has been completed, it has begun to publicize the world's first.
You just have to say that you have a strong team, but for the whole movie, the villain company has only one doctor (the security of the building is dozens of times more than the medical staff, do you think this is a technology company or an arms dealer?), she Responsible for scientific research, clinical surgery, hanging bottles, trauma treatment, prescribing drugs, etc., at first it was only responsible for the research of two people, and then two more came, and she was the only one to deal with it. As a result, there was a roar, and she saw it again. An immortal black girl jumped in. The old lady was beaten out. I came here to do scientific research, not to take care of the ten patients.
Oh, you said there is a black villain, how can a black villain be a villain? I didn't see him washing white every minute, but she was actually the big fan of Theron. Unfortunately, she loved her and took responsibility. She accidentally went astray. Under the guidance of the black girl, she immediately corrected her evil and returned to righteousness.
You didn’t read the end. Theron brought a few immortal warriors to the big black brother. It was a brave statement. The black thought he had the potential to become Nick Fury.
Right, what's the point of being a villain in "Doctor Strange"? Come to Netflix to get a long-term meal ticket.
As for the sequel, we would have expected it even without this easter egg. When the Asian girl who was kept underwater was mentioned in the movie, I said, I am afraid that this Asian girl is the hidden boss at the end. After all, black girls are all Dreaming of her, I want my life to be safe. But the director said, no, one crop is one crop. This is the foreshadowing of the second season that I carefully prepared. You must have not expected it before seeing the end, right? Surely I didn't expect it?
Hey, I hope you can get lucky and shoot the second episode. Or simply make it into a Netflix TV series. After all, action movies are based on the density of this action scene, which is probably not much different from TV series.
In short, so far, the only thing in the film that makes me feel that the glory is the scene when Theron fights. After all, it is a woman who has played "Arctic City", although there must be some martial arts and even special effects in it, but the action is comparable. Those male characters are much cleaner, it's really hard to imagine. Except for these immortal warriors of Theron, how did Ning's weak movements come from the cold weapon era? It's hard to come true. Does it depend on life and enemy consumption?
It seems that what immortal is only the body, the brain has not grown for so many years.
It's hard for Theron. I hope to become a villain with a high IQ in "Super 9".
