It’s not so much puzzlement, it’s more uneasy, uneasy about this unknown world that has been encroached on by the industrial revolution without any primitive green, uneasy about the eyes of people on the street, and whether the male protagonist is an enemy or a friend or not. Known unease. Fortunately, the main creator did not continue this unease, and instead used a relatively crude way to distinguish between black and white, the enemy and the enemy, and the binary opposition allowed the plot to be clumsy but effectively carried out within the framework of a commercial blockbuster.
It should be said that I have a preference for DC films. I have said on almost all review sites that "Batman v Superman" is in my opinion the best comic book adaptation after "Watchmen", which led me to In terms of the filming of the two camps, they have always been brain-damaged DC fans, regardless of the comics. In terms of my favorite "Batman", even Joss Whedon's Marvel's "Avengers 2", which has won my heart before, is far behind, although the latter has broken the solidified mode of superhero movies. Expanding inward - as if the theme of "freedom" is also represented, "Braveheart" inwards can become Kieslowski's "Tricolor Blue." All of this stems from my unreserved love for Zack Snyder. In a world where there are so many trolls, it is not easy to like a visual director with such a polarized evaluation, and for trolls, whether it is a keyboard dick or a film critic, I like to slap it unconsciously, even if this is the case. doesn't get their attention.
DCEU,
because "Man of Steel" has a lot of water-testing components, "Wonder Woman" has become the first movie in the DC universe to officially open the biography of heroes. I was in a mood of anticipation, and it turned out that in the first part of the film I was convinced I liked it.
It has the shadow of slag guide.
At the end of "Reunion 2", Weedon polished the Marvel heroes into ancient Roman sculptures, and "Wonder Woman" replaced all the background of the story with oil paintings at the beginning. My scumbag guide is the foundation of oil painting. I fell in love with "300" at first sight because of the oil painting-like texture in it. This time I have been moved beyond words. That's right, the scum director is a director who can make people addicted to a single picture. Facts have proved that the subsequent plot and the positioning of the whole film did not disgrace this wonderful opening. It avoided the shortcomings of the slag director due to the meticulous handling of details, resulting in incomplete plots or overtime, and brought rare DCEU. A relaxing and enjoyable viewing experience.
Zach Snyder and his dark aesthetic
1. Female heroes
"Wonder Woman" is the first movie in the two comic book camps with a female hero as the protagonist. The widow sister who has been playing soy sauce for so many years in Marvel next door has not been able to fly solo, so Scarlett Johansson can only go to film "Wonder Woman" Ghost in the Shell”, and for this reason, “Wonder Woman” is more than a commercial blockbuster, it is likely to carry some political missions.
I was also worried before watching the movie, I can accept this kind of film with a gender-political mission, but it is a key part of the rapid expansion of the DC universe (in fact, with the current situation of DC's bad-mouthing, I think Each one is very crucial), do you really want to lose the consciousness of human compassion in DC's bones for the sake of political compromise?
I went to the toilet twice for a total of 1 minute, and the movie ended, but luckily I didn't collapse.
Historically speaking, feminism with a clear consciousness rose rapidly after the end of World War II in the last century and was able to expand on a large scale, slowly developing women from the original sexy label to gender equality, of course, sometimes beyond the scope, there is a personal Attacks - this is all over Weibo, also known as pastoral feminism. Superheroes in pursuit of power and control have always been male-dominated, which is understandable because the male gender label itself is conquest. So what if it's a female hero? For example, Mulan or Mu Guiying, from a utilitarian point of view, are basically the same label characteristics as men. This time, the power given to Wonder Woman even surpassed that of human beings. If nothing else, the idea of the pastoral feminists must be to crush those stinky men, and they are not ready to call my mother. But fortunately, Wonder Woman is not subject to gender labels: one is not to be a mentally handicapped person who only cries "so afraid" by clinging to men, and two is not to use such absolute power to satisfy feminist bitches and dicks who want to see long legs obscenity. She's a hero who can almost tear off gender labels.
2. Humanity and Divinity
The theme song Sia sings is called "To be Human". Politics has no influence on the theme - this is still a work that DC perceives human nature. The difference is that it extracts the factor of human nature and puts it on the superhuman like a god. On the hero, try to observe with empathy. Put this kind of observation object on the hero, single out the hero and put it in an extreme environment, so that we can see her choices, confusion and epiphany, let her divinity slowly wear off first, human nature slowly grow, and finally A more powerful divinity is sublimated from human nature, and the upgrade is completed. This hasn't been shown so affectionately in any superhero movie. In ordinary superhero movies, the audience's perspective is always the one looking at the hero, not the hero's comrade, friend or enemy. This point, Marvel's "Hulk" tried, DC's "Man of Steel" also tried. The possible exception should be Marvel's "X-Men", but the protagonists of "X-Men" are also heroes, rather than putting ordinary people and heroes on the same façade. Opportunities exist in the solo series of "Wolverine", but in the end, due to the needs of commercialization, this series has been turned into a low-level product that sells feelings. Wonder Woman is facing the human world in war. War is the best tool to observe human nature, which also gives us a glimpse of how the legendary big love and little love should choose.
talk about battle scenes
When it comes to battle scenes, I'm going to blow DC again. "Man of Steel" is by far the best of all superhero action scenes, "Avengers 2"'s scramble is so embarrassing, "Captain 3: Civil War" has a hero group and even DC's own "Batman" "It's not comparable. It needs speed and speed, and strength and strength. A rapid advance that seems to be an old trick shows both the sense of sight and the sense of magic incisively and vividly. The battle scene this time was not as good as that of Dachao, but fortunately it did not collapse. As I said before, the current aesthetics is the era of the pursuit of texture, everything serves the world view of the film itself, and the truth is not illusory under such a world view, even if it is made up, it must follow the rules. The background of this time introduces the real war of human beings, and the effect of flying bullets makes people suddenly appear in war movies. As a superhero movie, it has a very real texture. Although the scene is a magical superhero, seeing the Wonder Woman who is alone in a hail of bullets reminds people of the famous "Freedom Leading the People".
A hero who can lead mankind to peace and freedom should be called a superhero. It has nothing to do with divine power, but only has a great love for mankind, peace and freedom. I am very disappointed in you, the Marvel who shows affection and love all day next door! As for the last two immortal fighting scenes, it seemed a bit rushed and anxious, but it was still wonderful. We have seen the villain combine weapons like Magneto at will. This is basically a slap in the face of Thor next door. He is also an immortal, and Thor will only hold a hammer. You really are a hammer!
Handling of the protagonist
"Wonder Woman" has not been reduced to a pastoral feminist-style pornographic film, but also in the treatment of the hero Steve. Generally speaking, the lover next to the superhero is just a supporting role, and the significance is to bring out the energy of the protagonist, even including the handling of their death. "Batman Dark Knight" made people see what it is like to kill a heroine in a superhero movie, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" also killed Spiderman's girlfriend, and "Wonder Woman" killed her It's not the first time that my boyfriend was killed. However, the difference between the former two and the latter is that the former heroine's treatment is more like to embody the hero, they do not directly participate in the hero's battle, at most they are fighting, and the role acts as a symbol. And Steve's death was completely heroic, his choice was his own, he died for Wonder Woman, and more for the future of mankind. The fire that fell into the night sky illuminates the divinity of Wonder Woman's humanity, and it is also a little shining love in this dark world. His death can be called a sacrifice, not a simple death. This is also why many people think that although Wonder Woman is the absolute protagonist, the audience's attention is often drawn to Pai, who is more like a hero without superpowers.
The film begins and ends with the photo Wayne sent to Wonder Woman, and the whole story becomes full and nostalgic, just like when you look at an old photo, the cause and effect of the old photo comes to mind. . This is a new attempt of the DC universe. It has some shortcomings in character handling as a commercial blockbuster, and it also has the handling to meet the worldview of film critics, but I like it very much, I like it and I look forward to another film that can also be used in superheroes. Movies that deal with different themes.
