Don't be intimidated by my title, today's material is "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith," a member of the most vulgar genre. The audience from far away is coming, the show is about to start~~~
The movie is always looking for a selling point, otherwise how can we survive? From this point of view, those artists who entertain themselves and unite small buildings are all parasites that live on vulgar movies. Although the converse is the same, their new ideas are also used by more mediocrity and memorized. In the final analysis, it is the masses of the people who decide the power. They decide the survival of art and choose the taste of art.
As for now, as long as Brad Pitt is brought out, I believe that the selling point is big enough; not to mention the tying up of the woman who plays Lara, men and women must come to see it in order to lose interest. In contrast, the old man Hitchcock who was brought out was obviously old and fading, unable to attract customers, and the coolness of the world can be seen.
Under these two selling points, the film makes full use of its strengths to design plots and scenes. It can also be described as maximizing resources, adhering to lean production and environmental protection awareness, and not much nonsense. Coming up is war, then war is still war, and finally war is still war. In the hail of bullets and hot weapons, the strip-shaped men and strip-shaped women stand firm like golden armored war gods. Such a big pile of YY paragraphs are very important.
But I can't remember those things after reading them, at least I have forgotten them now... What I can remember are some family plot paragraphs. For example, dialogue, action, and even silence seem to feel a little bit of Hitchcock's taste (of course I haven't seen that thing, it's pure speculation here, I won't admit any mistakes~~). And these are the passages that keep me going, hoping to see how their final choice was made. Of course, I was as disappointed as ever, because I suddenly found it impossible to see solutions to real-world problems in this narrative. The strong words here are violent confrontation, survival struggle, man and nature (Khan...). Under such a major premise, the issue of two people, just two people, cannot be discussed on the stage. In times of crisis, there is a solution, and that is to choose one of two: that is, to make decisions that are not decisive and cannot save life or death under the dichotomy. In this case, it is naturally more advantageous to live together, and being defeated by each is the worst choice.
A simplified problem is always an easy problem to solve, but it is no longer the problem that existed in the first place. This is just a blindfold.
As I write this, two things come to mind. "True Lies" and "Homecoming" by Wang Xiaobo (if I remember correctly, I don't admit it~~). The former is more of a realist version of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, if this time a postmodern version. And there is a passage in "Homecoming", the memory is barely deep, to the effect that our real test is that we are getting old, and we understand the fact that we are getting old. This is the real juncture of our life, the rest is just an encounter.
