Don't mess with that old guy | Harry Brown

The last time I watched a cool movie, "Nobody", I wrote a movie review, don't mess with that middle-aged man.

Unexpectedly, I came across this in a few days, "Harry Brown", for an action movie, the protagonist is really old enough to be Nobody's father, and the old Immortal, do something old, grow old when you are old... So, don't mess with that old guy, don't.

But Harry Brown was not so imposing (arrogant) when he just came out.

An old apartment that looks a few years old, dark and dilapidated, mottled and full of all kinds of graffiti on the exterior wall, indicating that it may not be a few years younger than the hero. Although the dark room is clean enough, it is easy to find. Come to a conclusion, vitality is slowly passing away.

My wife, who has been in love with each other for many years, has been living in the hospital for a long time. The nurse bluntly said that the patient's condition is not good. is getting worse and worse;

Harry Brown, who has lost his beloved wife, can only meet with his old friends who are equally aging or worse every day in a tavern, a glass of wine and a game of chess. Tavern owner, at that time, I didn't know how sacred this was.

Oh, they still have something to say, usually an old friend complaining to Harry Brown about the deteriorating community policing, idle gangsters, all kinds of blatant criminal activities, including indiscriminate harassment of innocent passers-by, the whole The environment is becoming more and more dangerous, more and more... unsuitable for human habitation, and even the police who maintain order seem to have given up here, waiting for it to fend for itself.

But what can the two old people do? No money, no power, too old, full of anger, but powerless. Harry Brown can only keep comforting his old friend, forget it, or call the police? Otherwise, what should I do? I can't scold me and I can't beat me.

Wait, can't fight? It's hard to say, after all, as a Marine, oh, a former Royal Marine, that's a tough guy who's been through the streets of Belfast, even though he's old, unsteady walking, out of breath , deaf, blind, and physically weak, who was also a former Marine. Today's little gangsters are nothing more than good at robbing houses and bullying passers-by. Compared with the Northern Irish Republican Army's constant use of long guns and short guns, and the occasional big bomb, they are still very tender. .

The story of the film begins when Harry Brown's old friend was brutally murdered by a gangster.

As for the plot behind, even if you haven't seen the movie, I believe everyone can guess. Like "Nobody", the biggest selling point of this type of film is to create the greatest dramatic effect by creating the greatest contrast. The audience obtains great self-satisfaction in this one fall together, and stimulates the rapid secretion of adrenaline in the body. , thus forming an unforgettable dual pleasure of physical and psychological.

Why is this happening? Because the audience will substitute themselves into the characters, and the more thorough the substitution, the stronger the final character identification will be, thus forming a strong resonance effect inside and outside the play.

How cowardly in the front, how ruthless in the back, this sentence is really not bad at all.

Don't look at a group of little gangsters all day long, there are ruthless drug lords behind them, and the police who are destined to be pig teammates are constantly doing a disservice. It's really hard for the old man Harry Brown, let alone At the critical moment, there is still a terrible emphysema to make trouble, and all of this is just to add another comment to the sentence "a life that is open doesn't need explanation".

Gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and destroy Buddhas. There is nothing that cannot be solved with one shot. If not, then another shot. As long as you don't kill me, I will fight you bloody to the end. They are all people who have climbed out of the dead pile. They are all alone and have nothing to worry about. The loess is buried in the neck. What's so scary?

In the film, Harry Brown is awe-inspiring, upholds justice, and does what the audience outside the film wants to do and can't. Not everyone has experienced the devil's training in the Marine Corps and the cruel test of life and death on the battlefield, but everyone There is also justice, blood, unwillingness, and anger in our hearts. If we can't realize the desire to save world peace with our own hands, then it's not bad to see others realize it for us.

So, don't mess with that old guy.

Finally, let’s talk about Michael Caine, the star of this film. It can be said that at the beginning of the film, he was attracted by the beautiful English of the old man. One of the basic skills among the many advantages of a good actor.

Unlike his peers who came from an acting family, in 1933, Michael Caine was born in a poor family in Bermondsey, a southern suburb of London. His father was a fishmonger and his mother was a maid, so his acting career began from the very beginning. It was destined to be full of ups and downs and hardships. From the beginning of running the dragon, to the small role with no lines and no face, he has been in a state of obscurity. It wasn't until 1963 that Michael Caine's epic adventure film Zulu changed radically, in which he took the lead role in the star-studded film that gave him a small reputation in British cinema .

The next star journey will be much smoother.

The film "Ipcress Files" was an important milestone that not only established Michael Caine's place in British cinema, but also allowed him to star in the 1967 film "Alfie", with which he began his career. Cut a figure on the international film scene, and at the same time with this film Michael Caine also won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Oscar.

A figure in the world of cinema in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Michael Caine starred in the 1969 classic action comedy "Italian Job", widely regarded as the pinnacle of British cinema. He also starred in "The Detective" in 1972, which earned Kane a second Academy Award nomination. Michael Caine starred in another critically acclaimed film "California Suite" in 1978, which he co-starred with famous actresses Jane Fonda and McKee Smith, and has since Michael Caine has officially become an important figure not to be underestimated in the international film industry. In the 1980s, he was nominated for another Oscar for his 1983 film "Educating Rita." In 1986, after many sprints, the old man finally won the Oscar for the film "Hannah Sisters". Supporting Actor Award. In 1998, he attacked again and starred in the independent film "Little Voice", which won the Golden Globe Award again for this film.

While making a name for himself, Michael Caine was knighted in 1993 for his performance on the big screen. In 1997, Kane was selected by Empire magazine as "100 Most Influential Male Movie Stars of All Time" at No. 55.

For the majority of movie fans, "Inception", "Interstellar", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "The Prestige", "Dunkirk" and so on are well received. In the works, we will all see this polite, British-style old man, whose superb acting skills can always leave an unforgettable impression on people, and of course that London accent that can be used as an English pronunciation textbook. .

I believe you have already seen that the old man and the famous director Christopher Nolan, who is also from London, England, have quite a match.

This is also a ruthless character that cannot be easily messed with.
