A new shootout. It attracted attention because of Putin's remarks. Here's the thing:
At a press conference at the G20 summit in Argentina, a Russian journalist was given the opportunity to ask Putin a question, and he was on the scene outlining the plot of the Hollywood blockbuster "Ice Has Fallen." The Russian journalist asked Putin to comment on the film, In his heart, he probably thought that Americans would make fun of our president. It was too much. I wonder if the president would be angry? Is it to show the toughness of Russia?
After listening to the reporter's introduction to the story, Putin was not angry, but showed his humor with a smile. He replied: "This is too surreal. The two small warships sent by the United States to Ukraine cannot pass through the Kerch Strait. Want to get American submarines into our bases? That's a shitty movie!"
Putin is a politician, and what he calls "bad movies" must be from a political point of view. In fact, after watching the whole movie, I don't feel that it is particularly bad, at least not the worst. By the way, I saw a new movie yesterday called "All the Evil People", and it was one of the worst.
"Ice Has Fallen" is about a U.S. submarine wandering off the coast of Russia and inexplicably sinking a torpedo. So the United States sent another ship to understand the situation and found a lot of anomalies. It turned out that there was a coup in Russia and the defense minister kidnapped the president. Joe Glass, the captain of an American nuclear submarine, infiltrated a Russian Arctic military base and rescued the Russian president after intercepting intelligence on the Russian coup threatening the world order.
I have seen several movies with "Fall" in their name, including "London Has Fallen", "The White House Has Fallen", "Moscow Has Fallen" and so on. It is nothing more than a few heroes in the background to save their country. In addition to the absurdity, it is also the main theme of promoting American ideology. This one is even more evil. It is not enough to defend oneself. The heroes of the past have to save the enemy country, which shows the prestige of the American police in the world. It also caters to the habitual thinking of American audiences. This, in turn, makes this thinking more intensified, more fixed, and more universal.
Every single person is a bit heroic. From the time children play games, they like to be a hero, a policeman, a superman, and a boss. When I grew up, I began to fantasize about saving the suffering, the refugees, the people and the United States. This kind of thinking is extended to the national consciousness, and it feels that it has the responsibility to save the people of other countries from water and fire. In this wishful thinking, you rarely think about whether you have this ability, and even if you have this ability, you don’t think about whether others need to be saved. Hence Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. In this film, it developed to Russia. Driving around on the seaside in a submarine. Follow people's submarine ass for months. Once others raise objections, take the freedom of navigation to speak of. Not only that, but also sent several spy teams to run around in Russian territory. I'm the boss, I can go wherever I want. There are more such actions, or more such actions are staged in movies, and over time, it will be taken for granted by people. Once this "correct" major premise is preset, when discussing issues with others, it is also based on this basis to talk about "reasons". You can use hype to prove yourself to elude yourself based on legal principles, but there is a lack of equality and justice.
In the film, Glass is a brother to the Russian submarine captain, but even when he begs the Russian captain for directions, we can still feel the "boss" in his tone. The film also depicts the differences between the Russian nation and the American nation. Russia is a fighting nation, and it is time to take action without mercy. And Americans are pure gamblers. Just as they did during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, they made a gamble at a critical moment to test the mentality of both the enemy and our side, and the game was a heartbeat. At the end of the film, Russian missiles have locked on the American submarine. Even if the submarine can still launch missiles, it will undoubtedly lose in the face of Russia's powerful military. After weighing, Glass decisively ordered not to fire. When two missiles from the Russian destroyer defused the crisis, the Russian president asked Glass, "How do you know they'd shoot?" Glass replied, "I'm not sure, just hope so." He won the bet.
In many movies and literary works, we have all seen such a situation where the subordinate refuses to carry out the order of the superior. There was a similar plot in an old Denzel Washington film, "The Red Tide." Although these are all artistic processing, the creed of "will not be subject to the orders of foreign rulers" cannot be abused in actual military operations, but the initiative of front-line commanders is fully mobilized to solve unforeseen problems in high-level command structures. , is still very necessary. In real life, what is needed is not the spirit of the gambler, but the party concerned should have a strong sense of responsibility, a high degree of wisdom, and the ability to grasp the overall situation. There are countless positive and negative lessons in history, such as the Battle of Waterloo, the Battle of Hengbao and so on. In the modern army, there are all kinds of strict rules and regulations. The disadvantage is that it binds people's hands and feet, turning the living soldiers into machines. On the battlefield, is the fight between humans more efficient, or the fight between machines is more decisive?
When I watched "Deep Sea Prison Break" last year, I said that such action movies in the United States have reached the end of the mountain. No creation, no new ideas. It's all based on Hollywood's inherent routines to develop the plot. In the hail of bullets, a lone hero can never be killed. In times of crisis, he is either rescued by accident or saves all human beings by himself, playing like the real thing. However, if you watch too much, you will inevitably get tired of aesthetics, so I hope the director can make up some new tricks. On the other hand, we must be considerate of the editors and directors, aren't they poor?
The scenes in the film are very big, big people appear one after another, and high-end weapons are also frequently displayed through computer stunts. The plot is logical, and the character performances are quite satisfactory. I don’t know if the individual actions of the special operations team and submarine soldiers are really consistent with the requirements of the doctrine, at least the audience still looks very seductive. Of course, there is also a need for a useless female CIA agent, and a secretary of the navy who makes trouble everywhere. Strangely enough, the minister was mesmerizing after being mere protagonist in the film's standard poster. And the performance of the female agent was even more suspicious. After learning that the crisis was resolved, she excitedly hugged the black rear admiral tightly. At this time, the camera panned to the hand she was hugging, which made people feel a lot of thoughts. Are there going to be a sequel? In the sequel, are you going to fall in love with this major general? Watching this movie when you are extremely bored can still relieve your boredom a little.
My rating: 6.5.
