It's not about the contract, it's not killing dad - talk about the real problem of "Captain America Civil War", and how the movie made a black and white issue with an ambiguous effect Six relatives and friends (two college teachers, two undergraduates, one junior high school girl, and one retired doctor) watched a movie, but two didn't stand in line, two stood for Team America, one stood for Iron Man, and the other one said they were both stupid. Asked which character impressed you the most, and which actor played the best, all but one Spider-Man fan answered that it was Iron Man. How about Team America? Two said they were handsome, one said they looked like a veteran cadre, and three said they were okay. How about the Winter Soldier? Two said it was a bit miserable, one said it was time to freeze, one said he was so handsome when he killed someone, one said he looked like Rob Stark, and the other one thought about it for a while before realizing it was the friend of Captain America. ? Pretty poor. When asked which was the best fight, three said Spider-Man and Ant-Man, one said Black Panther and the Winter Soldier, and two said the Shield Winter Iron Trio. Ask which character you like best, Iron Man two votes, Spiderman one vote, Captain America one vote, Black Widow one vote, Ant-Man one vote. How about the movie? All said it was pretty, engaging, and no pissing spots.
Let’s put aside the issue of standing in the team. The three views cannot be forced. What I am concerned about is why even those who support Team America (including those who think Iron Man is an idiot) think that Iron Man is better? More impressed with Iron Man? The answer is very simple. Iron Man has the most scenes and the most emotional expression. Even if he does not support him intellectually, he left the deepest emotional impression.
"Captain America 3" has no OOC for the character modeling of Captain America and Iron Man, but the modeling methods are completely different. The former is scattered and indirect, the latter is three-dimensional and intuitive, the former clicks and stops, and the latter is rendered layer by layer.
Regarding scattered indirection and stereo intuition, for example. There are two main contradictions in Team 3: the Sokovia Convention and the feud between the Winter Soldier and Iron Man for killing his father (mother).
The foreshadowing of the captain is buried like this: Regarding the line of bucky, Wishbone used "your bucky" to distract the captain, which led to the captain's "I was distracted when I heard him say Bucky, and it seemed that he had changed back to 16 years old. Brooklyn teenager." Regarding the line of the convention, the captain comforted the witch who blamed herself for losing control: "If you don't save people if you are worried about sacrifice, then you won't be able to save anyone next time."
The foreshadowing of Iron Man is buried like this: Regarding parents, Iron Man reconstructed the last side of 1991 and his parents with two constructs, and admitted that the psychological trauma is difficult to make up for with money. Regarding the convention, a mother who lost her beloved son accused Iron Man: "You murdered my son, and I blame you."
Comparing the two sides, it can be seen that Iron Man's presentation is very intuitive, and the virtual image can instantly make the audience Understand that the death of his parents is a huge trauma for Iron Man, and the shock, guilt, and remorse in his eyes when facing the mother who lost his beloved son also revealed his heart, and made the audience prepare for his next move.
The captain's performance is more indirect, the scene of the Winter Soldier being brainwashed and the expression of "your bucky" "I was distracted when I heard him say Bucky, and it seemed like he changed back to a 16-year-old Brooklyn boy". Come on, most of the audience didn't know who Bucky was, and couldn't match him with the brainwashed Winter Soldier at the beginning. They missed the intuitive understanding of Bucky and the captain's feelings for the first time. And the sentence "If you don't save people if you are worried about sacrifice, then you won't be able to save someone next time" is correct, but the movie is not a novel, and the movie communicates with the audience through intuitive pictures. A right word can move an audience more than a guilty look.
In a word, the movie is a three-dimensional and intuitive art. The portrayal of Iron Man gives full play to the advantages of the movie. The audience "sees" Iron Man's parents, "sees" how much Iron Man misses his parents, "Look at" Iron Man's parents. It's "Iron Man's guilt for Superying accidentally hurting civilians, and "heard" the captain's Bucky, "heard" the captain misses Bucky very much, and "heard" the captain thinks that he shouldn't give up just because someone died View.
——What is the difference between the viewing experience of "hearing" and "seeing"? Probably the difference between hearing about a person being hurt and seeing a bloody face.
For point-to-point and layer-by-layer rendering, for example. In the Sokovia Convention, in addition to arguing with the captain, Iron Man is still mediating with government figures, quarreling with Black Widow, house arrest witches through vision, and even Roddy still told him at the end: "I don't regret it." There are many conflicts and conflicts, and the trajectory of his psychological changes is clear. From the beginning of persistence, the helplessness and anxiety in the face of the captain, the surprise of Black Widow supporting him, and the anger of hating her for betraying him, until he saw the witch and others being imprisoned He was shaken when he was in the underwater prison, to the complicated look in Roddy's "I don't regret it", and finally to the decisiveness of pressing the call from a government official. His spiritual trajectory and psychological change process are completely presented in front of the audience, and it is easy to capture the audience's heart.
On the other hand, except for the two quarrels with Iron Man, the brief confrontation with Black Widow, and the confrontation with government officials at the beginning, the film did not add any dramatic conflicts to him about the convention. It's understandable that the Captain's mental strength is his superpower, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier won't question his decision, and the Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant-Man have to help him at the risk of being arrested, because " Captain needs you." The players' unconditional trust in the captain is based on the premise that "the captain always does the right thing", which fully demonstrates the captain's charisma and the correctness of his decision.
This kind of point-and-shoot characterization method is also good, but it suffers too much compared to the layer-by-layer rendering method of Iron Man, because the former is concise and clear, while the latter requires more time and more role. For example, the captain's recruitment of Ant-Man corresponds to Iron Man's recruitment of Spider-Man. The captain only has one word to Ant-Man, "The mission is very dangerous, you may be arrested and put in prison." Ant-Man is convinced that what the Captain has done is correct, glad Follow, heroes cherish heroes, promise a thousand dollars, but it only takes a minute or two. The scene of Iron Man recruiting the little spider took several times of time to show how Iron Man gained the trust of the little spider step by step, and used specious lies to lead a young boy to the battlefield, depicting Iron Man's conceited, sophisticated And a bit of a mixed feeling of guilt. The captain is bright and upright, Iron Man is sophisticated and sleek, and the characters of both are well portrayed, but the audience's eyes will be more focused on Iron Man. Because the layer-by-layer rendering method of portraying Iron Man has more advantages, more dramatic conflicts, richer details, and more delicate expressions, and Iron Man has also occupied the audience in this time and again in the dramatic conflicts and details. 's attention.
——Remember, what can occupy the audience’s attention in a movie can occupy the audience’s emotions, it’s not about right or wrong.
The question is, it is obviously a single-player movie of "Captain America", but why does it give Iron Man so many scenes? Such a rich emotional portrayal?
The answer is simple, because Captain is right, Iron Man is wrong, whether it's signing a contract or killing Bucky, he's wrong. The Sokovia Convention is actually a gimmick thrown by the movie. "Should superheroes be restricted" and "Should the Sokovia Convention be signed" are two questions. The former can be seriously considered, while the latter does not, because The movie has already told us the answer plainly, regardless of how obvious the arrogance and stupidity of the government officials are, how the so-called convention is exposed, and it is not about the captain's eagerness to prevent Zemo from launching the second generation of the Winter Soldier and the government's response to this. How ironic it is to sneer at a crisis, just talking about the underwater prison, I believe that seeing the scene of the Scarlet Witch being tied up like a mental patient, not only Iron Man, but all audiences also understand what this convention means.
But again, the convention itself is not important at all, the purpose is to stir the audience's emotions through the convention. In the filming and publicity, the film subtly replaced the question of "Should the Sokovia Convention be signed", which has already given a clear answer and is not worth discussing at all, replaced by the serious question of "Should the superhero ability be restricted?" Controversy arose among the audience.
Just like the treaty cannot be signed, Bucky shouldn't die, not to mention that he was a fighting hero who died for his country, a prisoner of war who was imprisoned and tortured for 70 years, and that he was a weapon that was brainwashed and manipulated. Step back 10,000 steps, even if he kills someone in a conscious state, no one has the right to kill him on the spot without trial. The implications of brainwashed scenes. Iron Man knew that he was brainwashed and that he was a victim himself, but he still wanted to kill him to vent his anger. It was obviously wrong, and it was a strong mockery of his support for the Sokovia Convention to restrict the Super League at the beginning.
Whether it's Covenant or Bucky, Captain is definitely on the right side and Iron Man is on the wrong side. In theory, 90% of the audience will stand on teamcap, but in order to balance the audience's impression of the two sides, canvass for teamironman, and achieve the effect of making the audience arguing fiercely and expanding the influence of the movie, the movie must add emotional drama to Iron Man. In a word, since you can't convince people with reason, you can only move people with love.
The film successfully attracted the audience's emotions and attention for the latter by portraying the captain and Iron Man in different ways. The result is that the captain is obviously right, but the resonance of most audiences has given Iron Man - emotion always precedes reason .
Under the premise of focusing on portraying Iron Man's emotions, the emotional portrayal of the captain, including the shaping of the Winter Soldier and the feelings between the captain and the Winter Soldier, have been artificially compressed. The Winter Soldier is the core of the civil war. In this film, it basically becomes a prop to promote the plot. There are very few plots that reflect the inner world of the characters and express the character's character. It neither shows that he was a fighting hero in the past, nor does he intuitively express his current situation. struggle and pain. In the leading comics, he didn't want to have blood on his hands anymore, and there was no plot to give up killing Hydra scientists, but replaced it with a simple "I don't kill anymore". An important prop that can reflect the heart of the characters - the notebook full of memories of the Winter Soldier's nightmare is not fully displayed, and becomes a dry "I remember each of them".
Again, words will never compare to actions, indirections will never compare to intuition, and "hearing" will never compare to "seeing." When the audience intuitively "sees" the Howards being brutally killed on the screen, and then "hears" the Winter Soldier saying, "I remember each of them," the difference in effect is no longer hearing about a person being injured and watching The difference to a bloody face, but the difference between hearing about a person "he's in pain" and seeing two bloody corpses.
Which side will the audience's emotions gravitate towards? it goes without saying. If the notebook has an extra close-up, or even is searched by a government official, he will ridicule "Yo, he also recorded his own crimes!" Let the audience know that his heart has not forgotten his sins for a moment. The "I remember each of them" is more persuasive.
In order to add emotional rationality to the wrong move of "Iron Man Kills Bucky" and win the sympathy of the audience, the film largely gave up the image of Bucky, gave up the inner excavation of Bucky, artificially Control the emotional tendencies of the audience.
Similarly, the movie basically gave up the deep excavation of the feelings between Captain and Bucky, and took a shortcut - emphasizing the "relationship" between Bucky and Captain. "your bucky", "my name is bucky", "(bucky owes you) count on my account", even the "bucky" of the widow sister in the trailer has become the "Barnes" of the feature film, highlighting the captain and The special relationship between Bucky. This strategy is very trouble-free. To use an inappropriate analogy, the male protagonist in the movie goes to heaven and earth for his girlfriend, and the audience will not ask what kind of person this "girlfriend" is or how their relationship is, Shan " Boyfriend and girlfriend" is enough of a motivation. In addition, the relationship between Iron Man and his parents is innate, and the relationship between Captain and Bucky is acquired. The audience can understand the former without explanation, but may not understand the latter. The latter needs more foreshadowing. and characterization, but the film does the opposite, abandoning the latter and focusing on the former. The reason why some viewers don't understand the motive of the captain to protect Bucky to the death, think that the captain is "selfish", opportunistic with the movie, replaces the emotional mining that requires more time with a simple and convenient "relationship identification", and focuses on the portrayal. Iron Man, who doesn't need much characterization, has a lot to do with his parents.
So, is the time and drama saved to create the absolute protagonist of Captain America? no.
Watch the much-anticipated airport battle. Although the airport battle against the Black Panther and Spider-Man showed his superb tactical literacy and super combat ability, but in martial arts, Spider-Man made his debut, Hawkeye fought Iron Man, and Ant-Man was huge. , Spider-Man outsmarts Ant-Man, the thesis drama, Falcon and Hawkeye lead the crowd to take the initiative to sacrifice their own decisiveness, the accident of Black Widow's defection at a critical moment, and the grief-stricken man of Iron Man who was seriously injured and dropped. Shocked, people's emotions and attention previously brought by the leadership and combat effectiveness of the US team were quickly distracted by these shots. It has to be said that the focus and climax of the airport battle is not the US team. Furthermore, the airport battle itself is not the real climax of the plot, but the film took dozens of minutes to foreshadow it, which greatly strengthened its weight in the entire plot and overly consumed the audience's feelings, not to mention the focus of the airport battle and The protagonist isn't Team America at all. That is to say, a Captain America single-player movie spends a lot of time and energy to set up a battle that does not use Captain America as the absolute protagonist, and focuses on a few that will not have much impact on the plot even if they are deleted. character, why?
——The answer is clear to everyone, in order to pave the way for the single-player movies of Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Ant-Man.
A successful one-person film must always develop the plot around the protagonist. Even if the protagonist is not present, the drama must be quickly turned back to him, and the audience must not forget him. The brilliant shots and brilliant lines should focus on the main character as much as possible. , and Captain America 3 violates this basic principle. When half of the scene is used to portray your opponent, and the depiction is more vivid and fuller than you, and the remaining half of the scene is assigned to other characters to make them stand out and grab the audience's attention, in this case, Team America is not "American". The character that left the deepest impression on ordinary audiences in Captain Civil War is a matter of course. It is not that the characters are not good enough, or that the actors are not working hard enough, but that "God's will" is so, not the crime of war.
Summarize:
In fact, the film has explained the position of the American team quite clearly, just like the attitude towards the "Sokovia Convention". Different, Iron Man occupies more of the audience's feelings. People who haven't watched the Iron Man series can easily understand Iron Man's position, while those who haven't watched the Captain America series can't easily understand the captain's position. Of course, fans of Captain America and Bucky, viewers who have watched movies related to Captain America, and those who have watched the movies more carefully can understand what kind of person Bucky is, understand the feelings between Captain America and Bucky, and understand Team America. However, the film is aimed at ordinary audiences, and watching a film is not about writing a paper. The film must impress the audience and impress the audience at the first time, rather than allowing the audience to analyze the details and make up for it later. To understand the whole text. In contrast to the Iron Man side, which is more three-dimensional and intuitive and can arouse the audience's emotions, it is natural for the audience's impression to tend to the latter instinctively.
The legitimacy of the Sokovia Convention and whether the captain should protect Bucky are simply pseudo-questions, but the film successfully provokes audience debate on these two issues, blurring the real questions that should be asked-in order to reach the so-called 51: The ratio of 49 lines to compress the role of the protagonist and weaken the portrayal of the protagonist. Is this kind of plot distribution reasonable? Does it feel like sacrificing characters for the sake of business by focusing on portraying more than two or three non-protagonists in a single-player movie? In order to cause controversy and balance roles, is it misleading and manipulating the emotions of the audience by deliberately compressing the emotional expression of one party and amplifying the other party?
Finally, in terms of standing in line, the film basically reached the 51:49 standing line ratio of Team America and Iron Man. However, the success of a film character does not depend on whether his views are correct, nor whether he can be respected and understood. , but how much he can impress the audience and how many new fans he can attract through the film. As far as this is concerned, the audience impression score attracted by Captain America and Iron Man is by no means 51:49. The specific value cannot be determined, but the only certainty is that the role of Captain America did not win this one-player movie (single-player). The final installment in the series) deserves the honor and attention it deserves.
As a Captain America fan, I am deeply sorry.
Ps: Criticisms of the film are not directed at the director and screenwriter. The theme of Civil War, the lineup of up to 12 superheroes, and the task of paving the way for a single-player Black Panther, Ant-Man and Spider-Man film determine that this film cannot be a pure Captain America one-man movie. Directors and screenwriters have done the best they can within their means. "Captain America: Civil War" is a very good commercial film and a very good group movie. The Russo brothers put a lot of effort into plotting every hero (and villain) who comes out, everyone has flesh and blood, a beginning and an end, and as they say, everyone develops by the end of the movie. Everyone has a bright spot and a place to stand out. It is recommended to see it.
