the high production of Marvel movies, I believe that everyone who loves it has a deep understanding. I don't know if it's because of the time limit for the signing of several hardcore superheroes, or because Marvel doesn't have enough confidence in the modern people who love the new and hate the old can hold on to what they love, so it has to push the old and come up with the new with the high production of two or three movies every year. I have always felt that Marvel can slow down and accumulate and accumulate. Maybe some people just like his unique way of not playing with ideas and connotations, and appreciate the entertainment and adrenaline-driven simplicity and rudeness in his bones. But I believe that the dream of every filmmaker is always to create art, and only constant innovation and higher pursuit are the ultimate reasons for maintaining the brand's long-lasting status.
Captain America 3 is a work that was stamped and shipped out of the factory under such a circumstance, commonly known as assembly line work, but it was highly praised and once reached 100% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes. I'm also curious as to what made an otherwise ordinary work turn the tide of the decline of comic-book movies such as Avengers 2 and Batman Wars in one fell swoop. At a time when this superhero is flooding the screen and people's aesthetics are getting tired day by day , swaggering all the way to the box office and word of mouth, and achieved such an impressive success?
The success of Captain America 3 is inseparable from the outstanding performance of its undisputed first hero director. To be precise, it is the director's complete and clear narrative ability, the overall planning awareness and the pragmatic spirit of building a foundation based on the plot.
From the macro construction of the story frame to the series of story content to promote the development of the plot, the two directors have always grasped the center of the theme and ensured the intuitiveness, integrity and smoothness of the film. The theme of Captain America 3 is the civil war, and the reason for the civil war is three contradictory viewpoints, whether to sign a contract or not, to catch or not to catch the Winter Soldier, and to kill or not to kill the Winter Soldier. Although it seems that these contradictions and differences are supported by a series of complex chain events caused by conspiracies, in fact, they are confronted with early signs of conceptual differences, personality shortcomings, trust crises and superheroes. two weaknesses. The Russo brothers used a very concise statement to express the various elements that led to the heroic civil war in a clear and focused manner. There are many characters and the main line is not chaotic, and we can see a well-founded cause of the civil war. Compared with Avengers 2, Scarlet Witch waved Tony to invigorate Ultron's far-fetched, and Captain America 3's skills in the plot and reason are not known to be solid.
From creating unique combat actions one by one to fully shaping the characters of the film, the two directors have made persistent efforts to give full play to their consistent advantages and specialties to add countless highlights and new ideas to the film. Watching the martial arts show, we can see the US team grabbing the plane with bare hands (the chest muscles at the time), the winter soldier flying over the motorcycle and the unique superb skills of the black panther; The magnificence and excitement of the imax 360-degree full viewing angle that runs through the screen at the moment of the explosion.
In the thesis play, we can see the beginning of the civil war, the factions are divided, the heroes have made the choice of tearing or not tearing and who to tear, some people take the initiative to attack, some have no choice but to fight, some are cautious in words and deeds, some are righteous and help, some are obsessed, and some are suddenly enlightened , some are fascinated by moral and legal truths, others are inclined to emotional and ideal deceptions. It seems that the civil war is only driven by the intensifying contradictions, and the heroes in the film have several right and wrong choices that seem to be the hidden theme of the film.
If you add the political class hints and metaphors that Americans are naturally good at playing with, they will finally be carried forward without pressure on the very symbolic virtual character of Captain America. So yes, in the first movie released in the third phase of the Marvel Universe, we finally saw the idea, a kind of thing that was absent in the previous dozen works for the audience to ponder and think after watching the movie.
But he is a little different. There is no so-called pretentiousness, no dark style of DC comics and full description of human nature, no exquisite flashbacks and lyrical close-ups and delicately crafted in the veins of affection. soulful long shot. They only tasted it at the beginning and echoed the title at the end, and more time was still reserved for the fighting scenes designed around the heroes' own characteristics. Compared with the cool special effects of other Marvel movies, the action scenes of the American team 3 punches to the flesh have some unique and moving temperament. And this change of abandoning the established model and simplifying it is not only a way for Iron Man to show mercy to Team America so that the two still have to play, but also a way to leave room for the film to stretch. In this way, the newly integrated elements such as emotion and reason, reason and law, persistence and compromise, killing and forgiveness will not give the audience a bad feeling of overfilling and overflowing.
To sum up, Captain America 3 can definitely be regarded as a novel and distinctive successful attempt. From the small test of the US team 2 to the big show of the US team 3, the Russo brothers not only showed us their strength, but also retained their own style in the same Marvel movies.
Tony, who is alone in the predicament,
"Victory at the expense of innocent lives is not victory." ---
What is the dead old king of Wakanda who made their enemies bloody and wicked from the hands of those high-IQ anti -humans The criminal leaders turned into innocent people who originally regarded them as heroes of salvation. And what made them go from being highly regarded spirits and idols to being a source of danger that people shunned.
Yes, it was they who fought for their lives in the front that kept most people alive, but I'm sorry no one will thank you for being alive, because you can't expect people to stand on the bodies of their parents, wives and children to thank the accomplices and even the murderers!
I don't know if the Avengers were aware of the evolution of all this, stemming from their usual inaction. After each battle, no one did anything for the dead, no one took responsibility for their faults, as if the innocent people who died were really just the necessary battle damage in the battle was irrelevant. If this becomes the tradition of the Avengers, it's a tragedy that puts the cart before the horse. If letting victory trump human life, then I am afraid that doing whatever is necessary to achieve an end will replace their original intention of fighting for the people.
I am glad that there are no superheroes in my world, because no one in the legend of heroes cares about the life and death of mortals!
The Avengers are at fault, and the world must be held accountable. Whether the Sokovia Agreement is signed or not is their own choice, and the choice is responsibility, and there is no right or wrong. It's just that some things can't be compromised. For example, we can't have teammates under house arrest in the terms of our exchange. These are people who will die together, not a tool used to show loyalty.
This should be the most criticized part of Tony in the whole movie, but in fact, he just desperately needs this agreement to find a moment of peace for his guilt that is stuck in the predicament and can't hold it anymore.
We could not have imagined that Tony, the arrogant and arrogant who had unreasonable ideas and created Ultron and was still arguing with his teammates, would one day take the lead in signing the Superhero Registration Act, agreeing to accept government constraints and supervision, and accept the political Uncertainty Manipulability Bottomless Linearity and Darkness.
As we never imagined, facing an angry mother who had lost her son and accusing her face to face, facing the blood debts that the whole Sokovia has written on him, facing the public resentment against the Avengers, facing the escalation of a lover's separation. What kind of blows did Tony, who was helpless to go, finally let the aggressive and fierce madness factor in his body, which was far more than a scientist, finally could not resist the condemnation of morality and conscience and chose to compromise.
Sometimes, I hate Tony's high-spirited style of being a successful person, I hate his indifference and rationality as a scientist, and even more hate his self-righteousness that treats his shortcomings as a personality. But I also like his humor, free and easy, unruly and hatred of evil; I like his pride, self-confidence, unyielding, and the arrogance and enchantment between his eyebrows and eyes. After all, Tony is just a gentle hero rather than a fighter who is familiar with the battlefield.
Rightly or wrongly, we can't ignore his efforts to unite this splintered team, we can't deny that he's trying to maintain the lost balance between the Avengers and the public, and we can't forget that he's the only one who has held on from Avengers 1 to the present. No one left.
Bucky, a soldier who sacrificed his life for
his country first met Bucky on the eve of his departure to the battlefield. He was full of youth under his straight military uniform. That was his best age, and even the corners of his brows and eyes were full of dazzling vigor and vitality. vitality.
When the flames of World War II burned to the United States, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy, but since then, his life, like most people born in that era, has a new theme and meaning, that is Gunpowder and war, the belief in victory and the determination to return home. As a man, when he was born in war, he voluntarily trained, participated in the war, and obeyed the call of the motherland to fight the enemy.
That night, after saying goodbye to his friend, he gave a military salute and turned away without hesitation. At that time, he thought the war would end soon. He must have thought that he would die in battle and that if he could return home in honor, he would find a lover to have children. At that time, he didn't know that this one turn was the distance between heaven and hell, and it would take him 70 years to find his way back home. What fate laid in front of him is not the rough road and thorns at all, but the endless hell and eternal doom, and what he will lose is all his life, which is far more painful than losing his life.
When Rogers was still a small man who was repeatedly bullied and struggled with unsatisfactory life, Bakke was in front of him, protecting him, comforting him and promising to accompany him until the end.
When Rogers became Captain America, a superhero favored by fate, Bucky stepped back behind him, trusting him to support him with a mortal flesh and blood trying to chase his footsteps until the last moment of his life, still the most dangerous on the battlefield.
This is Bucky. In his short life, he used his death in battle to practice a man's iron-blooded loyalty!
However, fate is selfish, and he is destined to have no place in the pure land of death. When 70 years later he and Rodgers both miraculously survived in the 21st century. Captain America is still a beloved hero of the world, and his unyielding spirit in his legendary deeds has inspired generations to succeed.
And Bucky, the Bucky we miss has disappeared from the war that burned the world, and what came out of the ice and snow was the reborn undead Winter Soldier. For 70 years, his figure has appeared in the top-secret archives of secret service organizations around the world, and he is regarded as a demon and a ghost that threatens the world.
He is fast and powerful, with a deep and fierce murderous intention in his actions; he is unfettered by human nature and has no burden in his heart. With one blow, even the broken brown hair fluttered in the wind with traces of insolence.
That is the winter warrior at the peak moment, arrogant and arrogant! And some fascinating mysteries! Unfortunately, it was only a surprise.
Since then, he has been pushed to the forefront of the conspiracy, and the witty officials can't wait to reveal his identity. The Nazi remnants have assassinated dignitaries from various countries for many years. A cold-blooded killer who served the notorious Hydra. Instead of a veteran who has shed blood for the country, a patriotic soldier who has been reformed, brainwashed and repeatedly frozen and tortured by the enemy for 70 years.
The world is so big that there is no place for him.
But these are nothing to Bucky. The cruelty that really made his life unbearable is still in the control of these years, his ability to kill the enemy has become the weapon of the enemy, which cannot be forgotten. every one of them, ending innocent lives at his hands.
That's right, he had too many lives on his body, so that strong man pursed his lips tightly but was stubborn but did not dare to complain at all, so he hid his metal arms and wiped away the traces of the past. Hold grudges or take anger to set off another revenge killing.
For the rest of his life, his only extravagant hope was to stop being a weapon to hurt anyone.
The face that has remained unchanged for 70 years, the first sight of yesterday that cannot be returned. He is the hymn of winter, the most beautiful warrior in my heart.
Captain America's weakness, Rogers' humanity
"The strength of the strong is innate, and they have lost the reverence for strength. The weak know the preciousness of strength, they have love and understand compassion." ---The dead Dr. Erkins
used a serum to create a warrior's body for Rogers, but he used a word to put a hero's heart on the warrior. These words are the conscience of the American team. And for 70 years, he never failed.
Captain America 1 isn't really a good movie except for a heartbreaking poignant love ending. But it can be said that the inevitability of its existence is recognized and precious. Because it shows us all the precious qualities of the man Rogers.
He yearns for freedom and is loyal to the motherland, his character is pure and upright, he has the bloody arrogance that was endowed with people at that time, and he also has a soldier's straight-line behavior, and he has a bit of stubbornness, but it is this kind of stubbornness. Rigid stubbornness allowed him to persevere in completing all the impossible tasks and miraculously survived the crisis again and again. And the most important thing is that he knows how to use his power carefully. He knows where his power comes from and where he will use it.
I didn't understand before that the loyal and upright Captain America has a deeper relationship with the American Empire, but Tony, who is arrogant and vicious, gets along better with the government. Now I finally know that Tony may not be a good example of a diplomatic man, but he is more mellow than Team America. He can speak the diplomatic rhetoric without leakage, and he can speak with impassioned enthusiasm. This stage was originally where he grew up.
But as for the US team, he always hits the nail on the head and doesn't care that politics needs flowers, applause and praise. Because he came from among us, he is a hero representing the people. In his entire life, whether as Rogers or Team America, weak or strong, he has tried his best, so today he does not intend to be entangled in roundabout political activities.
I still remember that Peggy, who was dying on the hospital bed, once held Captain America's hand and said, "I have lived a good life, and the only regret is that you did not enjoy your life."
What I want her to regret is that it should be Rogers' life and not Captain America's life. Captain America's life used to be killing enemies for the country and now it's fighting evil. As for Rogers' life, New Century said they needed a captain, that's all.
Since he opened his eyes again, Captain America has been in a state of fighting against evil. If it is said that Captain America is saving the world, it would be better to say that Captain America is saving Captain America, or that Captain America is inseparable from sin! I have never doubted the purity and purity of his heart, but if the world is free from sin, I am afraid that even he himself does not know whether he can peacefully integrate into life, whether he is willing to open his eyes every morning just to be in this strange place without loved ones. live in the world. He would wonder if a re-enactment of himself would mean more to the world than the icy statues that are admired in museums. Fortunately, the world still has the company of the Winter Soldier.
He walked to a distant place where he could not go back, and could not see the direction of his home. Fortunately, he did not miss the peace when his last relative passed away. The unfamiliar world does not have the fragrance of the homeland, but it is always impossible to forget the hotness in the chest, because there is still a person there, it is the longing and guilt that he can't let go, the regret and sadness that he can't make up for in this life.
For Captain America, the Winter Soldier is an old friend who carries the memories of home and far away. It is a close brother who misses it for seventy years. It is a dear friend who sacrificed in front of him and wants to compensate him with love and favor at all costs. Drowning is his fatal weakness but he likes it. It is the only connection between the past years he misses and the present world.
He remembered him, not the US team that everyone knew, but the 16-year-old Steve Rogers from Brooklyn. He has seen his fragility and helplessness, understands his ideals and persistence, and knows that he too has loved and been loved.
As long as the Winter Soldier exists, Rogers knows that there is still someone in the world looking forward to him, no matter where he is, whether awake or asleep, looking forward to the day when he can truly integrate into this world and have his own life.
Glad to see this Cap with weaknesses, glad he's no longer just a ruler of morality and justice. Not killing the Winter Soldier is not because Captain America has relaxed his bottom line, not killing the Winter Soldier is because Rogers has awakened in his body.
