Revenge porn and violent aesthetics

first movie of 2019

The first movie of the year, I have liked this style of violent aesthetics since I was a child, but due to factors such as age, I will watch the so-called martial arts movies such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li at most, and I will not use resources reasonably to find myself until I go to college. The things I love. I really felt the violent aesthetics of blood splattered everywhere. Of course, Kill Bill became less popular after watching it. Gone are the days of eating while watching and cutting my brain.

After watching the film, the first thing that comes to my mind is the heroic pony brother, Fage and Keanu Reeves are very good looking. Under the background, John will not be hit in the leg by a bullet. This is also one of the performances in this film that does not require a brain to watch. Everything is expected, and even a little cliché. The structure of the whole film is simple and clear, except for the protagonist. There were few ups and downs in being caught, and Marcus' betrayal was even expected.

Let’s compare the same Kill Bill, the same revenge, the same one-hundred-against-one-hundreds-and-the-same former super-killer back to his old business. What Quentin brought us is the real aesthetics of violence, with his skull cut in half, making it impossible for him You can't see the flag of tomorrow's sunrise. Every soundtrack in every scene fits the pursuit of violent aesthetics. On the other hand, in this film, except for killing killing, there is almost no special plot, and even the dialogue is simple and easy to understand (I understand even the slang)

However, there is no way, just for a cool word, this film is good enough, sneaking into the enemy camp in silence, reporting the status of the sentinel has changed in a blink of an eye, after seeing the enemy, he shot dead and turned around gracefully, Even limping away with the new dog at the end completely shows the romance of a man, single-handedly, revenge, gunfights, flicking clothes away when things go wrong, hiding merit and fame, as a cool movie. The film is already enough, it does not "pretend", does not require the audience to bring their brains, does not restrain, the bloody scene is worthy of the style of violent aesthetics, not even sensational, just takes revenge as the core, draws a circle and kills. An action movie full of fast style, simple and romantic.
