Tony Stark nearly died from a home-made bomb in the first episode of "Iron Man" before implanting a fragile atomic reactor in his chest. Those who survive the catastrophe can feel the fragility of life even more, just like every appearance of Ultraman is always accompanied by a helpless countdown. Stark's inner shock when he foresees the death of the Avengers in his hallucinations can be imagined. Therefore, only such an extremely intelligent person would have the idea of creating Ultron, and solve the problems of succession, backup and retirement once and for all with the invincible conceit of the inventor and the rich second generation. On the other hand, the original sin that Stark bears in the movie universe is always to redeem the troubles created in the process of family history. The identities of the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver -- the victims of Stark's military products -- are once again the moral sins that Stark needs to face. Rather than saying that "Age of Ultron" is still a traditional positive and negative confrontation, it is more accurate to say that the negative power of the story is the confrontation between the characters and the negation of the negation and the positive of the negative: the result of evil caused by the original intention of good. Therefore, in essence, the main line of "Age of Ultron" before and after is a series of problems created by Stark, the deviation between his appeal and the result of his actions, starting from the birth of Ultron, and putting it into action again and again , to make amends, to fail again and again, tangle, quarrel and persist, until the birth of the last desperate vision pushes the story and scenes to a climax. The script starts from Stark's inner conflict (the fear of death and the desire for self-redemption), expands to the conflict of interpersonal relationships (individuals of the Avengers themselves, between individuals and individuals), and then to the power against the entire external world (Austria). Chuang, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, Captain America 3), completed the three-dimensional conflict and escalation from point to face: on the one hand, the main plot of the Avengers group facing Ultron, on the other hand, each member facing their own inner nightmare subplot. Interestingly, the identities of Ultron, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver make the negative characters of the film take on the internal and external conflicting forces of the characters at the same time. The duality established by the causal cycle.
Just as the political thought proposed by the Republic of China for a country of eternal goodness gave birth to Nazism and despotism; just as the red movement led by socialism has produced tragedies again and again in history. The goodness of human beings bears the fruit of evil, and how many people can explain the confusion and contradiction, moderation and loss of control. Ultron and Vision represent two perspectives of mankind's demands for the world: the former is pessimistic and the latter is rational. The distance between them does not lie in the black-and-white truth argument, but in the behavioral orientation under different attitudes. The future can never be speculated. However, every modern person who is obsessed with the beauty of human civilization will unconsciously hold hope and try his best to build a real utopia that fits the picture in his heart. Stark's efforts are like every reorganization, collapse and reconstruction of the human social structure, its twists and turns and twists and turns are an ingenious mapping of the process of human history. Perhaps Utopia cannot be realized, but Stark's conceit and optimism can drive human beings to get closer to the picture in their hearts day by day.
