The brain is buzzing, beeping

Rey 2022-09-12 13:41:44

Intuitive violence does not need to use the brain, starting from the visual, coiled in brilliant colors - there are yellow and red suits of Boss Brut, black and red suits of agent Vivian, and uncle Mai's shirtless shirtless White flesh, pierced red blood and scabbed black and brown ---- with beauties of various sizes and breasts, and finally in the surrounding beeping sound effect, this solid color painting And the dynamic fight enriches the waves in the mind and makes the brain agitate.

Different from John Wick's direct and seamless fight throughout the whole process, the pole line killer has one more string - grudge line, wrong killing line, redemption line, and emotional line. Let's talk about the result first. The final reconciliation between the little girl and the killer actually came from a misunderstanding. The wrong order made Black Caesar kill the wrong family, and passively left a living victim because of the eyes of the victim girl. Fortunately, this mistake was not fatal or unforgivable. The killer was ordered to kill by mistake, and the girl resented the killer, but she was excusable and finally relieved. This line and this reason are too coincidental.

But the interesting point is that both parties actually know each other's identities, but they don't know that the other party knows their own identities! So girl said you didn't recognize me when we first met? This sentence gave the whole ending a touchpoint, reminiscent of the girl's initial shivering when she met the killer (just thought she must have been stimulated by something), Duncan said, I didn't want to disturb you, so I became enlightened and unraveled the whole story The guilt that haunts Duncan's heart, and the fog of the encounter between the two. The girl's final complaint was a bit too lyrical, and she used three row platoons, which was true, but it was difficult to hit the hearts of the audience.


The most entertaining game in this game is definitely the log cabin escape. No one would have thought that Uncle Mai really went on (I thought he would see the clue on the road), and it was really cool, whether it was loneliness or killing people on fire. From getting up and getting out of bed with intuition, to beating the sniper with a bare butt, to killing Brut's little girlfriend, this gorgeous clown-like killer squad was killed just like that. They do not want to kill with one blow, but prefer to fight at close range, like hunting a ferocious prey, which brings pleasure to the young killers. But Duncan wouldn't do it. Like the retired old killers he visited, the senior killers didn't play with their prey, but only focused on one-shot fatality, just like he went to Belarus to test his skills. It is a pity that in the three scenes of Black Caesar blowing up the headquarters, he did not see an opponent as agile and sophisticated as him, so the final climax had to be given to the emotional extra.

There is also a gushing momentum to reflect the essence of the whole play. The wise can use weapons and IQ to become an army. Our male advocate spread his arms (and jumped the killer in ambush in a tree), blood splattered where his fingertips touched, and no grass grew. Like a disgruntled conductor, he wanted all the musicians in the orchestra to pop out all the sounds, and he wanted all the audience in the theater to be shocked by the sound. This is the incarnation of the rule of Black Caesar, the guidance of the Great to the people.


The name of the killer's organization is Damocles, Damocles, that is, the sword of Damocles. It is said that Dionysius II, the tyrant of Syracuse, let his courtier Damocles experience the feeling of being a king, but Damocles found that there was a sharp sword hanging only with horsehair on his head, and suddenly felt in danger . The so-called happiness and harmony are just appearances. In this film, the name can be understood as the coming of the end.

Dionysius II once exiled Plato and sold him into slavery. His father I also participated in the famous Peloponnesian War (this book is to be read). Moreover, the territory of Syracuse has expanded to the whole of Sicily, and the "History of Sicily" remains to be excavated. It's amazing how an organization's name expands to so many events, and it's a little bit meaningful.


For the love of this action revenge film, my personal enlightenment is "A History of Violence". Compared with today's rapid pursuit, Killer: Code 47, Extreme Revenge, Hurricane Rescue (strictly speaking, not revenge), etc., are all straightforward, one-on-one, and merciless. The content of the history of violence is comprehensive and profound, and the emotional changes between husband and wife and between father and son are manifested by uncontrollable developments. There is no big picture and big scene that highlights the violence, but it leaves a deep imprint of violence. This kind of pioneering move is not comparable to today's pure revenge movies.

We prefer a direct, mindless, slammed feeling. The presentation of violent actions can be regarded as an outlet for personal repression. The joy of the audience followed the punches and legs of Uncle Mai, Uncle Lian and others. It was all about getting justice to suppress the darkness, and it was also in line with the characteristics of human nature that kill for life, punish evil and promote good. But it seems difficult to analyze the violence in this film hard, because this is a violent revenge with an intelligent quotient.

This film does not have the action film routine of escaping - counterattack - abuse - anti-kill, but it refers to the tone of the comics to make the picture look bright, comfortable and beautiful. And it has to be said that it is a coincidence that both he and JohnWick are emotionally supported. Johnwick's opening scene has a picture of falling in love with his wife, while Black Caesar is an innocent killing stirring in his heart. Therefore, the redemption story evoked by the killer of the extreme line allows us to feel the inner world of the killer in addition to the entertainment action, which is probably also the emotional routine of the action movie. How can there be no resentment and no hatred to provoke anger? The origin of violence comes from contradiction, but also from one's own ability to bear. Just like the audience, watching the brain flower or watching the sex depends on your inner violent choice.
