American society and American spirit in "Robocop 3"

Ransom 2022-02-12 08:01:46

Thinking back to "Robocop 3" and "Superman for All" today, I suddenly found that the villains of the two movies have been reversed. It can be seen that the two movies have the characteristics of homogeneity. Of course, most of the American blockbusters are like this. Superpowers fight against the villains, dazzling superpowers, surprises and failures, plus the liberation of cities and the liberation of the country when a great reunion and victory. The super high intention of liberating the whole universe. The same goes for the "Divergent 2" I watched earlier. What I want to mention here is the American law and politics in "Robocop 3" and "Superman for All", as well as the human nature in the two movies. The men served for mankind and obeyed the code written by the police department. However, when the chaebol tried to demolish the entire city, killing everyone and at the same time bought the US police department, the men actually opposed the police department and chose In order to protect the people and defend true justice. The comrades-in-arms of the military police also fought against the authorities and chaebols and fought for the people. I think this is the spirit of fighting against power for the truth conveyed by Liu Yu in "Details of Democracy", especially when the so-called When the law is behind the interests of the chaebol, the law and all orders can be questioned and contested. The same is true for Superman. When this great hero of maintaining the city’s public order caused a lot of trouble and was disgusted by people, he was also put in jail, and the law was fair and unselfish. And this one can jump a few kilometers away by picking up a ball. All doors and windows made of materials are superhuman to him, but he stays in prison so honestly. Here, he is a law-abiding citizen. It has nothing to do with his superpowers. Let's talk about the human nature in the two movies. There are also forced demolitions among the soldiers. When the swelling interests are combined with the iron fist of the law, the people will feel insecure and displaced. The so-called vicious development of the commercial society to the extreme is a dead city where the people are not living. And the beautiful female doctor blatantly rebelled against the authorities, did not block the memory of the soldier when he was a human, so that he had the right choice as a friend and a messenger of justice, did not turn him into a machine or a tool for murder, and possessed the ethics that a machine does not have. Thinking, and the brave female doctor exudes a dazzling light here. Superman reminds me of the Chinese myth "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl". The separation between heaven and man is a helpless and beautiful destiny. At the same time, ordinary human life also makes gods yearn for. Superman couples who have been couples for thousands of years make each other's strength disappear and hurt because they don't want to be together, so they choose to be separated forever. One is a hero who attracts attention, and the other is a weak little wife who happily be an ordinary family.
