National Superman, slightly unfinished

First of all, the tone must be set: watching the film, it is still worth it, and will smith did not disappoint fans. As I said before, it gives us another perspective of superheroes: sloppy, alcoholic, and most importantly, they are very poor with the masses. Every time they save people, they will be scolded by the masses. You have seen such a bad mix. A superhero?

The story takes a turn when the hero saves a kind and handsome male PR (gay movie? are you kidding?). Under the heavy pressure of the masses, the male publicist tried to change the image of the hero in people's minds, and finally found the crux of the problem. The hero is too lonely and does not have the same sense of identity. So the director logically arranged for a superwoman to enter the scene, and then the plot temporarily fell into a cliché + unreasonable: inexplicable tornadoes, lightning, high temperature and high pressure gas, the director did not even bother to explain these to us. In the end, the story ends in the ending of Supergirl's two husbands becoming buddies.

Although the ending is unfinished, the whole story structure is still great, one word: atmosphere.

The source of the hero's superpowers is not specified in the movie (such as being bitten by a bug (failed man), being thrown in the eye by acid (Daredevil), being irradiated by Dad's machine (Hook), etc.) , but directly throws a person with superpowers and the problems he faces in front of us: I can fly, but I can't kill me, so I won't tell you how I got here, what's going on? . Having said that, it is not a traditional American solo hero film, nor is it a Marvel Studio film.

In addition, the director doesn't care whether he violates the laws of physics when he uses his superpowers (if I and other engineering students are willing to be serious, I can find a bug that seriously violates the laws of physics in 5 minutes, such as throwing children very quickly When there is no shadow, and then there is no buffer to catch it, the child is just scared shitless, not cut up (you say this child is stupid or not, he can suffocate to death if he talks less in front of superhuman-level characters). For example, there are many bridges in it, stuffing A's head into B's ass hole, which is obviously impossible) is just to express the hero's rogue-like nb at will.

Don't expect the film to let us see the blood flow, and the sound of the explosion lingers for three days. None of this is the point. The point is, how does the only man with superpowers in the world get along with mortals? What if the owner of the superpower is not a moral icon who is as righteous as a superman and takes the safety of aliens as his responsibility? (Don’t say you don’t understand, we are Alien-0- to Kryptonians) (Smith has been choosing this kind of unconventional film recently, such as the last one that describes life in a zombie city from another perspective. People ("I Am Legend", I recommend it, when I read the introduction, I thought it was a zombie movie, but later I found out that I was wrong, you have to watch it)). When watching this film, you must use your brain, not just your eyes, or you will treat it as a Superman that has been shot badly. Follow the director's ideas step by step, imagine what you would be like if you were this person, and slowly, the protagonist's eyes and the meaning of his actions can be interpreted. When you see the middle of the film, you will give a thumbs up excitedly and say: Well, Smith's film, I like it (why say it when you see it in the middle, because it's unfinished, um).

I prefer the posture of Smith's flight at the beginning, you will know after reading it, another word: not bad.
