Precipitated Jason

The film "Hummingbird" tells the story of the war-torn male protagonist Joseph Smith. After watching five comrades being slaughtered, his spirit collapsed instantly, and he made a move that would never turn him over. The life that followed was one of being wanted by a military court and one of self-criticism. Therefore, it is natural to bring out the route of saving oneself and reshaping life. However, on closer inspection, Joseph was actually a walking dead, and brought himself to an irreversible hell. Those series of chivalrous, benevolent, and tragic ways of treating others and things are all paths paved for others, and their starting point has nothing to do with their own souls. The efforts and changes he made were his responsibilities and emotions towards others. Even if he wanted to redeem himself, the object was definitely not himself. Even if there are thousands of beacons for the prodigal son to turn back, he doesn't want to catch any of them, and it is enough to stay for a while. Once the kernel was put forward, the metaphor became clear: the hummingbird is the only bird in the world that can fly backwards. By extension, it is that they can go back to the past and linger in the past, which is precisely the life dilemma faced by the hero. He placed himself in the memory without limit, using paralysis instead of resistance, always turning back and unable to move forward. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he is a war machine that cannot be recycled and transformed, and he will either be killed by someone or someone else.

As we all know, the movie star Jason Statham was initially popular with the image of a young tough guy. With his own efforts, he became the only qualified successor to a vote of former action film overlords. From the "Parker" he participated in before, we can see his real spirit of hard work. A tough guy is an attitude to life, and there are indescribable hardships on this road. Those "literary and artistic models" in "Hummingbird" that make people play, what changes is the appearance of a tough guy, but what can't be changed is the true nature of a tough guy. Uninhibited to nuns, gratitude to friends, and tyranny of ugliness, the sins of war and the ugliness of society are all integrated into the spiritual world of an ordinary soldier, and they are all released by his every move. It seems to see that Jason Statham is eager to transform, and hesitantly hesitates because of the dense thorns ahead. The whole picture of life is full of flesh and blood, affection and righteousness. A little more "Hummingbird", a little less "Parker", as long as the tough guy's heart remains the same, the nun can win it, what kind of movie can't play?

    Jason Statham still can only play thugs honestly, insisting on being a literary fan, it always feels weird

    Uncle Jason is still so sharp, I like it. After seeing the nun in a red dress, I was shameless again. In fact, the ending can be happy ending. Going far away from other countries and capturing oneself all stem from the redemption of oneself.

    Joey: [in his letter] Now I go back to the street and disappear. I was alive again for one summer. I'm glad I spent it with you. I hope Africa treats you well. All my love, Joseph Smith.
