Man's Fury: Gailich’s Trick, Jason Statham’s Violent History

Lelah 2021-12-16 08:01:07

The bastard is here again! This time he, together with Jason Statham, threw a bomb called "Rage of Man" and caught you off guard! What? The 2019 "Gentlemen" hasn't been enough yet, is this the new film here? There is also an old friend of Jason Statham. They have established a solid revolutionary friendship since "Two Old Smokers", and they have cooperated for the fourth time. But don't get me wrong, this is just a familiar exercise. After all, the last time the two of them worked together, it dates back to 2005, in a movie called "Revolver." Be separated from each other for 15 years.

Those old movie fans who followed from the era of "Two Old Smokers" have white beards and hair. But as long as Comrade Gairich bends over, everyone can still guess what he is going to let out. But isn't it? As a director who likes to engage in wild ways like Quentin, the biggest difference between Comrade Gayrich and them is that he is always playing tricks. Just like the almost domineering long pass of traditional English football, there is always only one routine, which is simpler and more rude than Cheng Yaojin's three-axes.

In Gallic’s cinematic universe, the characters appearing are always as numerous as twists and twisted together like twists. The group portraits set up the scenes for his Geistlich’s signature, while the core is filled with a kind of savage Gairichian logic and violent aesthetics, forming a unique “Gaishi gene”: you will find that even a bento Long sleeves, the way of death is also very Galic.

But even if it is "one trick", Gerich is still very particular about the narrative style. In terms of specific presentation methods, there are mainly the following two:

One is the "Domino" style represented by "Two Old Smokers": At the beginning, many unrelated characters did their own things, and the audience was in the fog, thinking that Gairich was playing mystery, but in fact it was only in the layout. , To build a spectacular "domino". At the moment when the card was finally pushed, what was exchanged was a refreshing feeling like a volcanic eruption.

The other is the "kebab" style represented by "Stealing" and "Gentlemen": the characters are skewered together like lamb skewers, chicken hearts, chicken wings and big kidneys, grilled on the fire, and the master is covered. Keep sprinkling cumin and hot peppers...If you leave him in Urumqi, all the barbecue chefs in Xinjiang will lose their jobs, right?

In this new film called "The Fury of Man," Gerich seems to have deliberately slowed down the tempo. At first glance, there will be a feeling of not being slapped. But as the story progresses, the story becomes more and more interesting, just like the mysterious H played by Jason Statham, it gradually becomes fuller. Jason Statham still maintains the character set of "not many people are ruthless". The aura of a pure man quickly crushes the whole situation. Taking off the mask can make the robbers feel terrified. The female colleague can also perform a show after sleeping. Out of immediate torture. In the end, the ultimate revenge of "heart, liver, spleen and lung" was Jason Statham's personal performance time. He almost used his own power to deduce various gene combinations of Geistlich's violent aesthetics. If Gerich is the head coach of the English football team who has eaten all over the world, then Jason Statham is his invincible high center.

Like previous movies, Gairich still uses a multi-line narrative. This time he made a big fuss on the timeline, allowing the audience to gradually understand the truth about Jason Statham's "undercover". Accompanied by different timelines, Gerich also tells the story from different perspectives. Among them, Jason Statham has two perspectives: one is the H perspective of the cash transport escort, because the aura is so strong Unable to take it, one can't help but wonder why a sledge knife fell into the chicken farm. Just like the small shopkeeper played by Vigo Mortensen in David Cronenberg's movie "A History of Violence", people are waiting for a storm to come... The second is the "gang boss who lost his beloved son" "From a perspective, here we learn about his ability to take both black and white, and his cruelty when retaliating. Of course, there is also the heart-wrenching despair of being a father who watched his son die tragically.

Therefore, the gang boss is taking revenge as the escort of the money-carrying truck. In fact, it is a fresh reappearance of Gary's trick: he is still telling a story about black and black. Only Gerich can slap the black taste as heartily as a swig of Scotch whisky. What's interesting is that in the narrative from another perspective, the vicious "terrorists" came from a group of authentic veterans. These USArmy, who used to shed blood and sweat in Afghanistan, have to struggle on the poverty line after returning to China, and eventually have to become robbers. The black humor of Gary is really big enough.

There are many more interesting little details like this. It can be said that these are hidden lines that Gerich deliberately buried. For example, what is Jason Statham's main business? Why is he going to monitor all kinds of money transport vehicles? Who has tracked him for 25 years? What is the unexplainable grievance between him and the FBI? These dark lines that did not give an answer are very intriguing. All in all, "Man's Fury" may not be the best movie of Gerich, but for the Chinese, this is the first Gerich movie that can be watched on the big screen. What's more, there are tough guys like Jason Statham to escort him. Faced with such a plate of Gai's barbecue, I think it is worth a taste.
