Unconsciously, I found myself gradually forming a stereotype that everyone seems to be unable to escape - "How come you are so interested in those little children's stuff" - stereotypes. Subconsciously, I feel that action movies are cultural types that are deeply bound to the feelings of "Secondary School". So when I hear someone talking about how wonderful an action movie is, I automatically put a hat on myself and secretly have fun. In fact, we have already understood that the unbearable truth behind these senses of superiority is the distance between a small person like myself and the heroic dream that will never be touched. And that humanistic "bewitchment" has long since been unable to penetrate the grease accumulated on his own body, triggering resonance from within.
But "Little People" broke into our field of vision with some other elements.
1. Eye-catching anti-routines
Famous for his role as a cunning and cunning lawyer in the classic American TV series "Breaking Bad", Odenkirk is uncharacteristically playing an action hero who can turn the tide. With a middle-aged person as the background, our protagonist appears to be overwhelmed and insufficient in the face of all kinds of frequent and trivial affairs in daily life. At the beginning, through the montage of constantly accelerating rhythm, the protagonist's inability to face his own "incompetence" is rapidly accumulated, and at the same time, an impetuous lead is deeply buried in the hearts of the audience, which has made a good preparation for the subsequent emotional explosion. . Therefore, this kind of dilemma that the extremely successful hero was late and the tiger fell in Pingyang, and the contrast caused by Odenkirk's "empty" that a pair of wolfberry and ginseng soaked turtles could not make up for it, was successfully established. An image that is out of tune with the typical hero in people's minds. This kind of grievance and forbearance has to be said to be the essence of "Little People".
But with the loss of the daughter's cat bracelet, the original personality that was hidden in the depths finally broke out, and the hero's weak and submissive freshness disappeared without a trace, and the wonderful and novel contrasting style was completely ended. Decent and unfathomable backgrounds, well-prepared institutions, close old friends, villains with anti-social personality on the other side, miscellaneous soldiers whose IQ has plummeted, etc. These typical elements are like the unstoppable female driver on the training ground. The same, all rushed in front of you. Therefore, the scene of the bus in the first half is undoubtedly the most brilliant part of the film, while the climax at the end of the film seems to be lackluster and even stole the limelight. Compared with the anti-hero style and progressive narrative mood throughout "Ace Agent", the return of conventional routines after the image of "little people" is eliminated, it is like the greasy feeling that middle-aged men can't hide no matter how hard they try. Unpleasant. And the kind of network cool text routine in the kernel that is first suppressed and then raised is still somewhat not advanced enough. So the film still did not uphold the entertainment spirit of the anti-routine, and it was discouraged halfway.
The dilemma of action movies
Beginning with the primitive desire of human beings, the dashing and smooth movements and the punches in place can always bring the most intuitive visual stimulation to the male (fog) audience. At the psychological level, after the invigorating fighting, it represents the triumph of the positive forces and satisfies the fundamental desire for justice in the hearts of the "teenagers"; at the physiological level, this elimination of hormones makes the long-suppressed violent tendencies and negative Emotions are released reasonably.
But after several eras of change, action movies can be said to have long since left the mainstream vision, and action stars such as governors have long ceased to be top-notch. The combination of too many handsome men and hot women, explosive debris flying all over the sky and other elements have already caused the public's aesthetic fatigue, and the market has no longer bought into the stylized routines; secondly, action movies themselves generally polish the plot and characters. The roughness of the film makes many details unattainable, and even frequent play greatly reduces the viewing experience. These congenital deficiencies make it impossible to keep up with the rising trend of aesthetic taste and lose competitiveness with other sophisticated productions; in addition, Under the control of layman's capital, the unavoidable negative effect of blindly pursuing visual stimulation is empty connotation, so that action movies have branded themselves a low-level and mindless impression in people's minds. Long-term vitality; finally, and most importantly, changes in ideological trends have resulted in no longer a market for individual heroism, and a world with moral decay has lost the value of saving or maintaining. People look childish and boring. As a result, a type that was once lively seems to have disappeared without a trace without knowing it.
Nowadays, under the background that the classic film and television "007" has all left the film industry, series such as "Ace Agent", "Hurricane Rescue", "Quick Pursuit" and other series have earned a certain reputation and popularity, but I have to admit that Still can't get rid of the situation of living in the cracks. I don't know whether the "little person" of the action series will regain its former glory with the changes of the times, or will forever become a precious memory in the offline archives.
