Tired of watching Black Panther? Not our reason!

The movie "Black Panther" is awkward to watch.

The reason for the awkwardness, first of all, is in the word "reason".

In such a superhero movie with a clear distinction between good and evil, the audience naturally has to stand in the position of the protagonist. The reason why the protagonist is the protagonist can be big or small, but the butt must be sitting upright. In our Chinese words, you have to "Occupy".

But in "Black Panther", starting from T'Challa's father, it looks like a bad deal.

Originally, it was EnJob who made a mistake first, arresting EnJob, resisting arrest violently, and killing him. This set of things was originally obvious. Although killing a brother sounds unpleasant, there is no problem in the procedure. , If he is frank and generous, no one can fault him.

The spectators couldn't help sighing, and they had to add "excusable". When the villain comes to seek revenge, he can also act as if he is forced by the situation and has no choice but to do it.

It wasn't complicated at first, but the old king made things complicated by hiding something.

And why did the old king hide it? I'm afraid he didn't want to follow the normal procedure in the first place. He wanted to kill his brother, and he really killed him. He didn't want to be pretentious and use righteousness to oppress others, and he didn't want to shake it out, adding a stain to his life, so he had no choice but to do this. ,muddle along.

A real villain, not a hypocrite.

On the surface, it can be regarded as removing political enemies and paving the way for his son to ascend to the throne; but the most fundamental reason is the dispute over the line and the doctrine: the son and himself are on the path of "making a fortune in silence", and the brothers are "all over the world". Tossing "On this road, on major issues about the future direction of Wakanda, the road is different, and you will die.

However, whether it is for a small abacus or a big goal, after all, it is the dead brother who died in secret; what's worse is that the child is innocent, and he is your eldest nephew anyway, so you should give an account.

Although he didn't ruthlessly cut the weeds and roots, but just left it out and ignored it, what he did was still inauthentic.

In the previous generation, this reason must not be able to account for it.

So when Eric swaggered over to claim the throne, the good man T'Challa felt guilty. In the end, if Dad had it or not, he was short of breath and too thin-skinned.

Honest and upright, he was done according to the procedure, his skills were inferior to others, and he had nothing to say.

Especially in the previous scene, when T'Challa came to power, he also killed the people of the panda tribe according to the procedure. Compared with the two, Eric ascended the throne, and there was nothing wrong with the legitimacy.

The confused accounts of the previous generation are not counted, and even in this generation, the protagonist does not account for it.

In contrast, the villain is like someone who took the traditional protagonist script:

The father was killed in the political struggle, and he danced on his own and tried his hardest. Finally, after N years, through legal means, he defeated the good boy on the throne and inherited the throne.

A real Wakanda version of The Lion King...

But he is the villain, and the good boy is the protagonist, so it can't end like this, you have to smear him quickly, what cruelty is good to kill, and it is perverted, which makes the audience hate it.

More importantly, the protagonist has to find a motive and position to fight back, so that he can become famous and justified.

Therefore, the previous generation's line dispute was moved out again.

But the problem is that, different from the crazy thinking of "to save the earth, all human beings must be wiped out", the two routes of "making a fortune in silence" and "all over the world" are really difficult to distinguish between good and bad at a glance, especially The Wakanda shown in the movie is a kingdom of heaven and has abundant products. If it is to help other countries, it seems that there is still room for it.

Eric's extreme output of force is certainly not desirable, but his line and ideas are difficult to completely deny. The film's statement is also extremely ambiguous. In the end, Eric, the villain, died, but the two routes were merged in the easter egg.

Therefore, Prince T'Challa can only say that he has a firm stance, and he still cannot account for this aspect.

If the unreasonable protagonist wins, it will naturally be a bit awkward.

Such a twisted plot and character design, but it is a double harvest at the box office in North America. I still remember that when "Black Panther" was just released, every day was its various good news, "100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes", "IMDB 8.3 high score", "over this and over that, breaking records at the box office", various Black singers, the stars are their platforms, and the news pictures released are all filming a long queue outside the cinema, dragging their families to watch "Black Panther", which has become a trend.

When we go to see "Black Panther", we treat it as an ordinary superhero movie, watching the special effects, watching the plot, watching the fighting, the good blows, the bad ones.

Black people watch "Black Panther", but it is of epoch-making significance. The appearance of such a film has excited this group.

Regardless of whether it is faithful to the original work or YY obscenity, and regardless of how inconsistent the advanced productive forces and the backward political system are, seeing Wakanda on the big screen has already made many people excited. Even if it's just a fiction of the movie, so what? You know, there has never been a movie like this before.

Battle for the Throne or Prince's Revenge? It doesn't matter, Wakanda is enough, the presentation of the concept is bigger than what the movie is about. Years later, Marvel's series of superhero movies have a high probability of being just a successful commercial film in the history of film, which is an understatement. However, "Black Panther" may be written in a big book because of its political and social significance.

As for whether it looks good or not?

It's all made up, mind him!
