Die Impossible

The movies in this series are a model of "American super hero development".

The first episode is Die Hard. John Mclane was just a small police officer at the time, with a flat head and full face, but he had a bad temper, average IQ, and negative EQ, which led to unsuccessful careers and unsuccessful love. One does not have a tight red and blue uniform, and two does not have 44D chest muscles. He can't look like a hero anyway, but he has taken away a group of robbers alone.

There was a shock.

Everyone likes to watch Cinderella become a princess. So Mclane made persistent efforts. This time he "offends the following". The offending object is only to force the Pentagon, and the driver is also dispatched to the plane. It can be described as Die very hard. In the

third part, Mclane's scope of activities has been expanded again, creating an undead image. Hardly Die.

In the fourth episode, Bruce Willis is about to close the mountain, so the super hero is finally developed, composing a truck to fight the F-35 hard, without eating or drinking within a day, even rolling and KO. The brilliant record of the former top level of the US National Security Agency, if this is someone asking me who can defeat Superman, I will nominate Officer Mclane without hesitation... No, they are now the sheriff. Die Impossible.

Cinderella married into the castle, happy ending. The

fourth episode of "Breaking Point" is still quite a lot, car crashes, guns and bullets, high-tech technology, all equipped, if you look at an American gunfighting film, it can be described as wonderful . But to compare with the young Mclane who just started to find it hard to die, one has to sigh that there is one less normal human on this earth.

What is Mclane's biggest characteristic-brutal humanity. Since Die Hard started, he has survived in this world by a kind of rough and tough brute force. In other words, the sheriff who was supposed to be a western was born in modern New York by mistake, so he is out of place with the crowd. And in the first episode, in a closed space, with the loss of modern communication tools, this trapped beast succeeded in biting the hunter back by relying on its savage survival instinct.

This is the victory of adrenaline vs. computer, the cry of civilian vs. bureaucrats, the romance of Tiehan vs. tenderness, and the violence of fist vs. IQ.

The closed and helpless environment, the useless equipment, the obstruction of the arrogant bureaucracy, the occasional tenderness of the tough guy, the primitive brutality of mankind and the superior intelligence opponents are the reasons why Mclane can stand out from the crowd of heroes and never die again. . When all these conditions are lost, there will be one less flawed hero on this earth, and the United States will have one more superman who does not wear tight uniforms.

PS: Maggie Q's figure is really horrible. In addition, I am very interested in the "Spider-Man" in the movie.
