Original text: High appearance, low IQ, a reckless crime story of a group of "second-hand" teenagers!
The momentum of "Marvel" is very strong recently ,
Last year, the release of "Avengers 3" became popular all over the world. As soon as "Avengers 3" ended, fans fell into a kind of intense panic.
Thanos wiped out half of the universe and superheroes with one snap of his fingers.
How will the broken heroes come back and save the universe again...
Old Pa, Captain Marvel or SHIELD agents in the easter eggs,
What power can you use to help this super villain BOSS who can't even beat the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange together?
And the last carnival of this summer's summer season may come from "Ant-Man 2", which will be released on August 24,
When it comes to Marvel movies, there is a hero who can be said to be a very special existence.
That is: Quicksilver!
Everyone knows that because there are certain overlaps and gaps in the abilities, themes, plots, and personnel between mutants, the Avengers, and the Guardians of the Galaxy,
So Marvel has been trying to control the world of the X-Men and the Avengers to cross,
However, Quicksilver is an exception!
In "Avengers", as Scarlet Witch's younger brother,
Quicksilver appears almost as a foil to Scarlet Witch's appearance;
It not only weakened Quicksilver's super ability to move quickly, but also made him receive an easter egg in order to save the Scarlet Witch in the process of moving fast together.
In contrast, the superpowers of Quicksilver in "X-Men" have not only been enhanced a lot, in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and "X-Men: Apocalypse",
The two clips of Quicksilver saving people also contributed to the history of superhero movies and even two legendary clips in the history of movies,
The dynamic 1980s disco dance fast silver breaks the law of time development, shuttles through walls, rooms, roofs, fiddles with bullets in the air, and uses fingers to dip the soup in the air...
And the actor Ivan Peters who plays Quicksilver is also called "Little Angel" by everyone.
Ivan, who was born in 1987, is 31 years old this year, but he still has the stubbornness of a teenager and the gentle care of his lover;
There are also naughty and perverse little boys, both docile and willful,
It is no wonder that "Quicksilver Little Angel" is so loved by fans and audiences.
Today, Hongyanxiu wants to introduce to you a new movie starring Quicksilver - "American Animals" .
Childhood playmates Spencer and Warren were rebellious,
They and two other students plotted to go to the Special Collections Library at Transinia University to steal extremely valuable Audubon prints and books.
The film is based on true events,
Originating from a library robbery at Transnian University in Lexington, Kentucky, USA in 2014,
The story seems very bizarre, but most of the plot is real,
Four young men who ruin their lives for a movie carry out one of the most reckless heists in American history.
"American Animals" takes heist movies to the extreme,
Blurring the lines between reality and imagination in crazy stories of money, movies, and the search for meaning.
"American Animals" is not a work that is not a fascinating work with ups and downs in terms of plot, but focuses on this farce-like robbery.
But unexpectedly, there are great breakthroughs in plot scheduling, the combination of genre works, and innovations in breaking the boundary between reality and fantasy.
Hongyanxiu introduced a movie "How to Pick Up Girls at a Party" in the previous issues,
This movie is a very creative combination of three different types of sci-fi, musical and youth romance in one movie.
Caused a kind of picture color tone retro, clothing style small and fresh;
But the atmosphere also has a wonderful feeling of psychedelic future.
The form of this "American Animals" is also very cool,
The roller skating genius played by "Harley Quinn" in "I, Queen of Flowers" introduced by Hongyanxiu last year was interviewed by a documentary while the story was in the sequence.
And this time, "American Animals" directly invited four real people from real events to appear together, completely breaking through the barriers between plots and documentaries.
Maybe the philosophical thoughts that stupid people reflect on after they have done stupid things are absurd and worthless.
But you have to admit that the overall narrative process is interesting,
For example, the boy No. 1 played by Ivan in the film, smoking a cigarette in the car, shared his theft plan with the sullen No. 2 with a smug look on his face.
In the next scene they are still smoking but not in the car anymore;
The scene of two people eating chewing gum is also happening in the supermarket in the same frame, and then the scene changes and the two people come to the school again.
What's even cooler is that the BOSS in the group of four is being interviewed by the male lead in the documentary,
He is showing a sly smile like a successful man for his plan, and the real person who is being interviewed in the next scene suddenly does not speak, showing an identical smile,
After the whole crime is over, everyone in the story looks bleak and hugs home silently as if this is the last time the four of them will be together;
The faces of the four people who were being interviewed were still swiped by the camera, revealing a look of gloom and regret.
Although the form of drama is often full of ups and downs, full of twists and turns,
Documentaries, on the other hand, always have a calm and restrained kind of "after the fact".
But "American Animals" better combines the two forms. In the second half of the robbery plot, four people robbed in a disorderly manner.
He even forgot the most important step of the robbery, and even forgot where the keys to the Tibetan paintings were;
After waiting for the elevator to descend to the negative floor, I forgot where to plan the exit and finally decided to escape from the lobby on the first floor with the precious paintings.
Running out of breath, a teenager desperately shouted "FUCK FUCK",
Another frustrated guy who doesn't want to continue this adventure where he just wants to save his friendship...
Wet shattered hair, gruff panting, mindless running... The whole process of theft was stressful and irritating, mindless and logical.
In the next scene, the four people staggered phone calls at the seller's place to despair each other, and the atmosphere was also filled with despair and suffocation, full of regrets after youthful indulgence.
Sitting in a crowded car, the four of them silently stopped talking in the heavy rain, because they all knew that the theft they directed and acted was stupid and ridiculous, and was destined to be a mistake from the beginning,
At the end, the four of them didn't say anything about philosophical life,
The subtitles faintly reveal the plans of the four people after they are released from prison, but there is actually a sigh of time passing by.
In fact, the plot of the whole movie is not tortuous and bizarre, and the whole theft is also ridiculous.
But the precious thing about "American Animals" is the perfect creative combination of the tense and exciting crime narrative in our inherent impression and the calm and steady documentary.
Show the local humorous humor of teenagers' "second-hand goods", it is time to show the gripping and perilous when it is a crime, and it can be calm and restrained when it is serious.
Show the last doubts and regrets of this group of criminals, and restrain the pervertedness of this group of teenagers.
Even we know after watching this "American Animals",
These four young men conspiring to pull off a heist like Kubrick's "The Killer" and Quentin's "Reservoir Dogs" are just four immature movie freaks.
A young man who hates the small town he lives in,
Want to experience a wonderful life that is exciting and cool like a movie, stealing wisdom and retreating calmly;
A timid and cowardly,
Although he has a sensitive artistic cell, he joined the theft half-heartedly for the sake of childhood friendship;
a nerd,
Dreaming of entering the FBI in order to save his friendship, knowing it was wrong but still falling into this ridiculous crime;
There is also a young man who loves fitness,
The "simple mind and developed limbs" just joined this "adventure" because they couldn't stand the challenge and seek excitement.
There is no whitewashing and repentance of the protagonist like "I, Queen of Flowers",
Showing the perpetrator's own trauma without hesitation, neither pity nor criticism, because it is all absurd things made by the blood and brain of adolescence,
It's not worth it now, and there's nothing to fix,
"Throughout your life, people have been telling you that everything you do is meaningful and that you are special. Of course, you can easily list some things that prove you are special, that you are special different.
But in fact, those things are meaningless, you are not special, you are very mediocre. "
There is no "this is based on true events" in ordinary movies,
There is also no "Frozen Storm" to tell an absurd fact "this is a true story" with a serious attitude;
It's pioneering -- "It's not based on real events, this is real events."
"American Animals" is youthful, mindless and even cruel, a little childish to want to laugh,
At the end, there is also the humbleness, reality and sadness of ordinary people who are immersed in the boundary between fantasy and reality.

Mourning, dirty, and funny, "Gintama" is over, it's great to know these bastards!
Repeatedly "rectification", why did the "idol drama" of the Qing Dynasty become an online drama broadcast!
The reasoning drama only knows about grocery stores and suspects, but you don't know Keigo Higashino!
The sweet and throbbing "hot summer night" ruined the beauty of "sweet tea"!
It seems absurd, but in fact it is black chicken soup, what happened to the "love hotel"!
