"Death Prison Escape": miserable; miserable; Qi Qiwen/Vulcan Return to the prehistoric years of survival of the fittest and the predator of the weak; in that era, no one would have time or leisure to stop and think Whether this way of living is reasonable or humane. Because at that time, if you can survive, eat your stomach, and let your blood reproduce, you are already a winner and a strong person. Any thoughts that have nothing to do with survival are just lazy and cowardly. Therefore, humanity is just a grand excuse for the weak to protect themselves and for their laziness and cowardice. This world is so cruel and full of blood. ——Vulcan Ji. Inscription.
I am thinking that putting the survival method of the weak and the strong in the famine years into a highly developed modern society as a commercial activity and entertainment program for people after dinner; whether this approach is debatable. My reflection is to look at the film from a more positive and gentle perspective: Even though this film’s approach seems very cruel, is it just because of such cruelty that it is so ridiculous? , Using an ironic technique to completely deny and criticize the current distorted aesthetics and the further misleading of the distorted aesthetics by the media, blind accommodation, kitsch hype and flattery. Of course, this is just a personal assumption and inference of mine. And if this film is not from such a creative perspective, then this is undoubtedly an inhumane film that violates civilization and humanity, a film that is too cruel and very stupid. It is a pity that the creators of the film did not let me see such a possibility. They may not bother to confirm my assumptions and inferences. They just talked about the story in the movie script and did not use computer special effects to design the icing on the cake, so they overturned my assumptions and inferences about beauty; this movie was criticized in the United States. The film that is an R-rated film is not wronged and it is indeed a very stupid action film. There is no doubt that this is a tough hardcore action movie. In order to quickly and successfully package the former wrestling star Steve Austin into an action movie star, this movie uses a large number of unique action designs in wrestling. What’s more undoubted is that the strong visual impulse of wrestling movement itself has been brought into this movie; I don’t deny the appreciability of the movie’s action design and Its success in audiovisual effects. At least when I watched this movie, from a purely action movie perspective, the whole viewing process was quite enjoyable. In this respect, there is no doubt that this movie will be favored by action fans and wrestling fans. This is purely a movie of action for the sake of action, fighting for the sake of fighting, and violence for the sake of violence. This is true for this not-so-attractive story in this movie, or the high expectations that the creator of this movie has placed on this movie. This puts a heavy pressure on the public opinion of this movie; at least in my opinion, it is very difficult for this movie to get praise. The judgement of the quality of a movie is not only the audiovisual effect of the movie, but more importantly, the humanistic thinking and spiritual theme hidden in the depth of the movie; and in this respect, the movie is almost It can be said to be pale and almost tasteless. As a result, this movie became a visual fast food junk with successful audiovisual effects but no nutrition. In my opinion, the fights and the cruel killings in this movie are superfluous and boring, and even a little untargeted. I said that this is a miserable, miserable, and relative movie, referring to the infamy that this movie will bear, and the helpless situation and more helpless cruelty faced by these characters in the movie. Maybe you can say, why bother to watch a movie so much, as long as it is good-looking. Perhaps, the requirements for watching a movie can be so; but whether it can be so casual and reckless to evaluate a movie. Ten people sentenced to death by countries around the world were placed on an unmanned and escaped island with a 30-hour time bomb tied to their bodies, unless they persisted to the end or killed nine other competitors. Get the only chance to be free and to survive. Kill everyone else and survive, or be killed by others; this game seems to be that simple. The entire process of fighting and fighting will be filmed by dozens of cameras on the island and watched live on the Internet via satellite for a fee. Undoubtedly, reality shows, real fights, and real killings are all tempting gimmicks; after all, we have seen too many fake fights and those tickle duels in movies, the real smell of blood and death, As long as the charging standard is not too excessive, many people will rush to it. Perhaps, every person will more or less have the original genes of bloodthirsty, cruelty, and killing inherited from the ancestors of the prehistoric times; our ancestors used to live like that. If you don’t be killed, you kill others. And each of us alive, at least in that era, our ancestors were the most ferocious and successful hunters, and their blood could be passed down to this day. Not to mention whether the live-action game played in this movie violates human nature itself, or really conforms to the cruel factor in the darkest side of human nature and has a market; more importantly, it is contrary to human nature. The current moral code and humanitarian spirit. Death row prisoners are people who are destined to die; in the words of Ian Brick in the movie: "I chose ten death row prisoners, and they will face execution without exception; and I brought them here and gave They have a chance to be free and to survive. This is not bad for them, at least they have another chance." I remember that when Brick said this, his face was full of Kind of expression of savior and charity. And I am extremely disgusted with his words and this expression. When the TV host asked him about moral and legal condemnation, he was full of disdain, and I was thinking that if he really treats the death row inmates as people of the same kind, he will treat them as one person. Where is the most basic dignity and respect? Give them a chance and promise them the freedom and bonus they might have. Shouldn't they be grateful. In fact, it’s just that they don’t even have a chance to choose; forcing them to accept a cruel game and rules of the game, and use this game to make huge profits for themselves, this in itself already reflects a strong thinking and logical way of eating the weak. . In my opinion, this is a game that violates the humanitarian spirit. And because the creators gave this film only audiovisual effects and commercial benefits, so it became a film that violated the spirit of humanitarianism. Especially Brick's attitude towards death row prisoners; a person who has committed a fault and violated the law should naturally be punished and bear all the responsibilities he should bear after all his actions, but it is limited to this. I remember there is a very good saying in "The Green Mile", which reflects this spirit very well: after a death row was sentenced to death, he has repaid all the faults he committed to this world, so they too It just became pure and flawless. How much a person’s life can be repaid to the world, in fact, not much; but this sentence reflects the most basic respect for prisoners as a person, and also respect for death row prisoners as a person. The law can Depriving a person of his life, but should not and have no right to deprive a person of his basic dignity as a person. The reason why this sentence moved me may be because of the great humanistic reflection behind this humanitarian spirit. There is nothing wrong with being punished for a person who has committed a fault and violated the law; However, what is more important is the kind of forgiveness. Forgiveness should be more difficult than punishment. Looking at this movie again, I can't find anything similar. It chose some extreme and extremely cruel death row prisoners who committed heinous crimes, so I began to think again, after such people have given them the right to freedom and the opportunity to survive, there will be such behavior. How much does it make sense. After returning to society, they will only continue to commit crimes and continue to harm society, right? Of course, in addition to the agent played by Steve Austin who was betrayed and ignored by the US government, don’t forget that this character is portrayed as a positive character in this movie. This movie is the only emotional bomb thrown out to win public opinion. But in my opinion, this still cannot change the embarrassing dilemma of public opinion in this movie. It seems that the British special soldier Eun Max Tally played by Pooh Jones was sentenced to death for burning down an entire village in Africa, raping nine women and torturing many people in one day; this chance of survival In his eyes, it is inevitable, but in addition to killing competitors, he seems to enjoy the feeling of killing and the pleasure of killing. What impressed me the most about this movie was that he was torturing and killing the Mexican couple Rosa and Pago who could not fight back. He could understand them all at once, but he didn’t do that. He had to torture them slowly. die. In my opinion, this is totally violent with a kind of pathological sadism. And what I can’t imagine is that if he really wins this game and gets freedom, he will really behave and live his own life? In my opinion that is impossible; he will only intensify and wreak havoc on his crazier desires. Of course, the game in the movie itself is a commercial act; and this movie is also a commercial act. As Brick said, why should I help Eun Maxtally win the game without stopping, because he is suitable for acting, and he can give him a goodshow to make his audience feel the money on their credit cards It is worth the money to put it in his account. Everything is just driven by interests. What this movie does is a similar effort. It seems to want to give us such a feeling, and what it presents to us is also a goodshow. The seemingly happy ending at the end of the movie seems to indicate the cycle of heaven. All the people who arranged the game were killed by the people in the game, and Jack returned to his happy life. This ending seems to be a compromise to public opinion and humanitarians, but in my opinion, such a compromise still appears pale and weak. More importantly, today with highly developed civilization, we can no longer live like beasts. Moreover, I have no way to treat this movie as just a movie or a game. The moral advantage and humanitarian spirit that I had once did not allow me to face it hastily and lightly. Miserable; miserable; miserable. In fact, it is not just the death row prisoners who have no choice in the movie, but also this movie, as well as the ambitious WWE and its WWE film company that made this movie.
