The first half of the movie is a typical Hollywood style, fully satisfying the "3S" principle. Drunk Superman's extraordinary "surprise", the step-by-step "suspense" of how to change his image after meeting the good guy Lei, to the final completion of the hero's shaping, and won a long-lost applause after saving the policewoman and punishing the criminals" Satisfaction". It feels like the first half of the film is enough to be a movie alone, but obviously the director has more to say, so after Charlie Theron threw Will Smith "whoosh" out, we know that, well The play has just begun.
Some people compare the male and female supermen to yin and yang, positive and negative when they meet, they will neutralize and cancel the two sides. I think it makes sense. In such a set state, the deeper shock is generated. In the past superhero movies, the protagonists were either alone and without peers, or a group of peers supported each other. Few of them clearly knew that there was only each other in this world, but they could not be in the world. The helplessness of being together is a bit like "the farthest distance in this world is not life and death, but I am in front of you, but you don't know that I love you". This kind of loneliness will come deeper, more painful, more To struggle, it expands the hero's heart to a level rarely explored before, and they must face the choice between eternal life in loneliness and happy old age and death, and endure this torment for thousands of years, because they can choose at any time. To be ordinary. To give up the godhead, to give up the duty of being a god.
If so, it is necessary to compare the philosophy of this film with that of the East. In our legend, the gods abandoned immortals and descended to the earth to compose a love story together with ordinary people. Just come, but the ending of this movie is different from what we agree with. God did not descend to earth, but returned to heaven, gave up the love that only fights for the day, and took on the responsibility of saving the world again. If this is in Eastern mythology Here, if the Weaver Girl does not leave the Cowherd, then the Cowherd will have a braid, so the Weaver Girl ran back to heaven to admit her mistake to the Queen Mother, and be a fairy honestly. Most of this story will not be passed on to our ears. Of course, the specific problems will be analyzed in detail. The pressure they encountered in their stories was different, and their perspectives were different.
In fact, Hancock's choice in the movie is closer to the reality we face. Let me ask, who dares to be like China Overcoming all difficulties like the classical mythology, would rather be ordinary and poor to live the life we want? In reality, most of us have made compromises with our destiny, leaving the people we love and the jobs we want. Therefore, we and Superman is just as lonely. It's just that he has superpowers, and we don't.
Finally, sympathy for the kind-hearted Ray, who has become a complete cannon fodder after this movie shows the poignant and helpless love between men and women. , Even if they love each other again, they still can't escape the ruthlessness of time. After a few years, he left, and they still live in the world, what should they do, find another Lei No. 2? Or decide to abandon the godhead and die happily? Then I guess that's the story behind it.
