The title is "Warriors". What is a warrior? Or say: Know what you can't do and do it. As a symbol of the spirit of the warrior, Melville's "White Whale" runs through the film like a red line. The film begins with an audio book playing in the old father’s car. It is about Captain Ahab carrying a sledgehammer and nailing a Spanish gold coin to the bow of the ship as a reward, enticing sailors to hunt beluga whales and setting up a free fight competition with extremely high prizes. It's similar to it. "Fighting brothers, fighting father and son soldiers." Like the two brothers in "Fighter", Brandon and Tommy both had fighting talents since childhood. Now one is a physics teacher and the other is a deserter from the Marines. Both brothers are reticent, and they are the one who prefers to speak out of their mouths. Kafka said: "You don't know how much power is contained in silence. Aggressive offense is just an illusion, a trick, and people often use it to hide weaknesses in front of themselves and the world. The real lasting power lies in endurance. Only in endurance. The cartilaginous head is irritable and rough. He usually loses his dignity because of this." His brother Brandon has the "power to endure". The director fixed this person on the drawing board in the first shot of his appearance: the courtyard under the sun, A big man wore a weird floral hat and a face that was painted beyond recognition by his little daughter with oil paint, but he enjoyed it—he could give up his image, face, body, and everything for his family. Both goals are huge bonuses. The elder brother urgently needs money to repay the mortgage, and the younger brother wants to give the bonus to his best friend’s widow to complete the soul redemption-he is a lonely family, his comrades have wives and children, he may think that his comrades should survive, and he is the damn one, at least die together Lose. In the tournament, the promotion process of the two brothers is fast and the other is slow, and the rhythm relaxes like the best music (for the time being, whether it is reasonable for these two people to beat the world's masters). Tommy always finishes his work with a single blow, overturning his opponents like a sword seal Ximen Fuxue, a little bit of red; Brandon beats hard time after time with willpower, and barely passes the level again and again, which wins admiration even more. And love-"People have been conquered by the extraordinary under the ordinary of Ahab." In order to find a strong enough reason to support the "fraternal fratricide" drama, the director used the "childhood trauma" as a panacea, and the so-called spiritual salvation as a reason for obsession is only "still makes sense." However, it is "big and elegant". Fortunately, the performances of Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton make the clichés really convincing. The editing and soundtrack are also well-regulated and tightly fitting to hold up all the sensational details, dripping water. There is an opinion that Tommy and Brandon symbolize the two sides of Ahab: the younger brother represents the fearless and hateful side, and the older brother is the embodiment of tenacity and willpower. I think Tommy is more like Ahab some. Let’s take a look at the captain’s appearance in Moby Dick: “In his straight forward, immobile, and fearless gaze, there is an infinite, most determined, indomitable air, a kind of steadfastness. A stubborn, uncompromising spirit. And there is a distressed look and supreme sadness on the depressed face of Ahab." Brandon has no entangled hatred and towering depression in his heart. He has only one. The momentum of breaking the boat. But Tommy has hatred. Brothers are like brothers, Ahab has the hatred of a broken leg, and Tommy has the pain of losing a brother (whether it is a spiritual brother or a close friend like a brother in the army). On the eve before Tommy and Brandon’s decisive battle, the old father knew that the tragedy of flesh and blood could not be stopped. The flushing old face forced Tommy’s eyes and shouted the captain’s name: "Aha!" This is a small flaw in the film—when the metaphor is so obvious, the director actually doesn’t need to slap the label on Tommy’s forehead. superior. It is not helpful to be broken, but it makes the carved knife marks obviously a bit dazzling. Letting Beethoven's music be harmonious in the film is a meaningful stroke. In addition to Beethoven, who is the famous warrior who "strangles the throat of fate", Beth's father, as a court singer, is also a terrible drunkard. He discovered his son's musical talent early and spared no effort to cultivate him, with Tommy and Brandon The father is similar. And the "Three Laws of Newton's Mechanics" explained by the physics teacher in class also have profound meaning: he thoroughly understands "force", from how to calculate it with formulas to how to realize it with the body. "Every force has a reaction force of equal magnitude and opposite direction." When the brother and the younger brother were fighting vaguely with blood and tears, think about Mr. The law that C talked about in class, every punch you hit on the opponent has the same heavy and painful reaction force on the body and mind. Every wound belongs to two carcasses, and they share the same gene and blood. No matter whether they are willing or not, whether they admit it, whether they recognize each other or fall in love...they actually hurt themselves. Of course, this way of reconciliation in the octagonal cage, embracing and weeping ends, the routine traces are a little too heavy, and the power is dispelled in the procrastination. When my brother says "I love you" in Tommy's ear, can he melt the depression in his chest for decades and make his brother willing to admit defeat? Can such trivial and unconvincing three words take on the important task of taking care of the feelings of the whole film? If you don't say it early or late, or say it when it's dying, it's easy to appear that Brandon is deliberate and invincible, but this meets the needs of viewers who love a happy ending. After hearing this sentence I love you, everyone can be relieved to let the tears open. Almost everyone’s afterthought is "blood blood", in fact, this kind of stimulating experience cannot be fully counted as the credit of the film and the director, and the powerful charm of fighting oneself is also a great credit. The antelope, orangutan, and other populations fight to determine the leader, and our consciousness always retains the worship of primitive physical power. Seeing the fists falling like raindrops in the octagonal cage, the buried vitality finds an alternative way of catharsis, and a sense of pleasure arises spontaneously. "The human heart will always be agitated with a magnificent manhood" ("White Whale"), "Warrior" successfully evokes the echo of this spirit in the viewer's chest. Emerson's "On Heroism": "A hero is such a balanced soul. No harassment can shake his will. It seems that he is just marching in his own music happily, in the same environment of panic and general carnival. "In the 37th chapter of Moby Dick, Ahab gave Moby Dick a statement of war in the face of the vast sea, which may be used as a declaration of all warriors in the world: "In everything in the world, there is nothing that is too difficult to reach. . As long as you are not afraid of paying the price." "I am willing to light my target like a match. Even if it is gunpowder, I will not hesitate." "Even at the expense of myself, I will illuminate something. I dare to do this. Do." "I have this determination." "I hope my prophecy can be fulfilled, because I have the courage to fulfill it." "I will never beg for mercy from a powerful enemy, just like a primary school student begging for a powerful gangster. "I will never say to a gangster,'You should go to war with an opponent as strong as you' and you can't bully me." "Although I've been knocked to the ground, I got up again. I want to Then hit it."
