a joke of violence

Hollywood action films include Die Hard, Fast and Furious romantic preludes, and superhero flying performances, but there is also a class of subversive films that reflect on violence, ridicule violence and gangsters, from the two big smoking guns to killing The coolness of Dead Bill has now become a very gentleman agent. In a sense, the slightly humorous 007 is the ace agent of this movie. And this is not a pure agent film, there is a dark shell like Spider-Man, we are an independent third-party agent knight, we will make a lot of sacrifices. Purely suspenseful films such as Mission Impossible 4 and Mission Impossible 3, which were shot across the world, are also a feature. In South Korea, a very violent, bloody and savage fighting method has been developed, that is, hand-to-hand combat. This vein has later Tom Yum Kung, raids, and Muay Thai ruthlessness. Hong Kong's action movies are still very romantic fights, not ruthless enough, not dark enough, not elegant enough, but very common people, similar to hard work.
In short, Kingsman can be said to have opened up a whole new field of gentleman fighting. Train to be a gentleman murderer, which seems more like a Japanese thing. It's actually pretty good to make such a cool movie. But think about it, saving the planet by depopulating it, rather than changing that kind of industrial production, does it work? Fewer people, less harm to the earth? This is a serious question. Is it really necessary to reduce the population through war to make the earth's environment better? What kind of ecological view is this?
What's the point of view? Immigrants, move to other planets, explore the second earth in outer space, or plague, virus, or nuclear bomb, or return to a very beautiful way of life by returning to agricultural production methods, but is this possible? Movies about ecological issues are also different from disaster movies, but they often paralyze people's thinking about disaster movies. This film is completely intoxicated by violence, and pays no attention to the core conflict. In other words, the agent is trying to prevent all this, and as for whether it is justified, it is irresponsible.
