The Chinese title of the film "SUPER" is translated as "Superhero" and the hero is not worthy of the word hero! The Taiwan version is translated as "Sharp Man" and cannot explain its connotation, so super is the most appropriate. The film is not just angry, bloody and violent, but the struggle of an honest man (the male protagonist says he is ugly, stupid, has a bad family, is useless and is looked down upon by everyone), and his wife is the only light in his life, which is different from ordinary superheroes. The story of a hero saving his girlfriend, did this civilian superhero save only his wife? It is also the process of saving his own heart (the transformation from a cowardly trash man to red lightning, even the red lightning's costume is so funny and childish) Even if the means of fighting against the dirty world are so childish, it can't hide the fiery soul of the male protagonist. The male protagonist thinks he is the son of heaven, but all this is the result of his own efforts. The film does not promote or criticize anger and violence (girls who enjoy the thrill of killing are designed to be shot in the head as punishment), it accepts and respects human irrationality. Violence has a miraculous effect, it brings the character back to reality, because it is the violence that prepares him for the moment of grace (the wall of crayon drawings is his glorious moment of grace). Anger and violence are essential to human confrontation with harsh realities, and sometimes they are the only way to reconcile or change the world. And it is precisely because of the existence of anger and violence that we have a clearer understanding of the value of reason and love!
