America's Really Powerful Soul

In a quiet afternoon, make a good cup of tea, put on Komori, enjoy the pure sound of the ocean, and watch Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand" with great interest.

This is destined to be a movie with a polarized word of mouth. Many people are surprised that Arnold is still a mighty and brave tough guy; the plot is too old-fashioned. For an action movie, the level of such a scene is thirty It was absolutely stunning a few years ago, and now it's just an "outdated old tank".

Why do elite secret agents as powerful as the FBI of the United States fail in front of drug lords, while Arnold can win with three or five horses and seven or eight guns? To paraphrase the words of "Western Soldier Saint" Clausewitz: "Military activities are always dangerous, and what is the most valuable spiritual strength in danger? Courage."

An old sheriff can completely avoid this stall Muddy waters, because in theory, the intervention of a small local police station in this battle will only become a "cannon fodder" tragedy, which not only cannot stop the gangsters, but may even increase more innocent casualties. But Arnold and his men stood up bravely: who should ask Arnold that he is old? At the same time, it proves that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man.

Another shining point of this film is the cooperation and integration. American blockbusters often fall into the vicious circle of personal heroism. The personal heroism of this film is reflected in the first half of the film, such as the FBI and special forces, as a strict and closed "single combat", in exchange for a tragic performance. In contrast, Arnold's final team: Arnold himself is a member of the former New York Drug Enforcement Squad, two police officers, and a collector of the rural underground gun museum, and even a detainee is involved. Compared with the well-equipped and well-trained FBI and special forces, Arnold's team is a motley army, and he complains about helping the "rabble crowd". Although the war with chance is a gamble, fortunately, Arnold's team won the gamble in the end - what reflects behind this is the courage to participate, excellent leadership skills, a strong sense of tolerance, and the ability to gather all available resources. The resources of the United States to cooperate sincerely to fight against a powerful enemy - this is the soul of America's strength.

"A really powerful country is not about how strong it is on the outside, but whether its internal systems are perfect." The real scary thing about the United States is not that it is now stronger than any empire in history, but that it is His courage to change, leadership excellence, tolerance, and full use of all available resources - that's what this film is about. On the other hand, how strong we are ourselves, this is the practice of changing the soup instead of the medicine.

    Arnold's acting skills haven't improved much after being a governor... After so many years of living in the USA, is the accent still hard to understand... The plot is average, and the character settings are relatively realistic. BD 720P 13/04/24

    At 6 points, Jin Zhiyun first came to Hollywood for his work. He was relatively unfamiliar in terms of fighting for his own power and freedom in choosing themes. He first worked in Hollywood to gain popularity. Jin Zhiyun hasn't fully fired up yet, and the Hollywood works with his own style will need to be seen in the future. [Score 6-7 points]
