The reason why the DIE HARD series is classic, there is no need to say much about the action scenes, but I personally think that the main reason is to create a grassroots hero Comrade Lao Mai, who can be unlucky as much as possible: the first episode is to meet the wife who has not seen it for half a year I went to the building to attend someone else's birthday party, but I was killed by passers-by and lost my shoes and the building was bombed. In the second episode, I got to the airport to pick up my wife, but I was bombed by the bad guys from the earth to the blue sky. In the third episode, my wife may finally I feel that I am too wicked to marry and consider divorce and not show my face, but Lao Mai, who is so depressed that he is drinking every day, still has to involve his neighbors by being named by terrorists and pull him into a black buddy tough guy (SAMUEL JACKSON is actually an intellectual) while playing mind games While bombing all over New York... It is also said that the gangsters have a long life. It is better to live and die when they see the poor old men. It is like seeing the red mansions asthma skeleton girl falling from the sky and smashing it. (A sister Lin fell from the sky?) Generally, it's really pleasing.
It was so miserable and miserable that we reached the fourth episode, and Lao Mai's hair was completely lost. We can't help but pretend to feel the years, with more or less nostalgia, and look forward to the flood of special effects after MATRIX takes the lead. Change your breath in the middle of the action sci-fi heroes, continue to see the old Mai we are familiar with, continue to be useless and continue to bear hardships and stand hard work, however... However...
American imperialism has been occupied by IT computer boys who kill without blinking, such as Kung Fu pretty girl Russian Spider-Man, capitalist All hope is placed on another idiot computer boy and computer idiot Lao Mai, so the two idiots have to live in an exaggerated apocalyptic scene like a disaster movie, while pumping a car and playing a plane against F35...
It cannot be denied that the fourth episode is the coolest scene in the DIE HARD series, with all kinds of explosions and various murders, Lao Mai has finally become the ultimate hybrid of Arnold and Stallone, and he can hardly hide bullets like NEO. But the overly exaggerated and gorgeous scenes have completely surpassed the bottom line of reality, and the character creation has also changed from a grass-roots useless man to a big hero who saves the world with a muscle. As the plot progresses, it gradually becomes richer; moreover, it is also possible that I have an abnormal prejudice against the computer boy. I feel that the partners in this episode are too stupid and thin. Apart from bad jokes, there are really not many characteristics, and it is far from the old black policemen, airport refugees, bookstore owners, etc. of the previous personality. If it is not required by the plot that you must partner with someone who knows a computer, this role can be completely omitted; Wen Qing KEVIN SMITH's cameo is not very new, not to mention the enemy setting that is almost completely comic; the most important thing is that the plot is completely replaced by sci-fi disaster-like scenes. The so-called high-IQ villains are not only using computers to explode everywhere There is no IQ at all, and there is no conspiracy at all, which makes the plot development far less than the first three episodes.
Perhaps, the main problem is the screenwriter and director. Most of the new Hollywood screenwriters and directors put their main energy on the design of scenes that are more and more novel and enjoyable. Of course, many independent, sharp and even deep ideas may also be put into the story (the most typical one is MATRIX); The gradual lack of reality caused by the technical dimension will inevitably make everything gradually become sci-fi. In the eyes of the older generation, it may be more serious to feel that everything has gradually become a child's play. Although I am not a senior, but maybe I am really old. Even though I have been advocating science fiction since I was a child, I still feel that everything should not be turned into science fiction. Even if it is an action movie that keeps exploding, someone must stick to reality. The line of doctrine, with gray-faced, earthy and vulgar bitterness and humor, makes people feel the realistic shock that action scenes can achieve. Maybe this is one of the reasons why the new 007 is still popular in the Western world?
The bad words have been exhausted, now let's confidently recommend this DIE HARD 4.0! Although there are not many innovative action scenes, as Xiao Ming said, various action details and big scenes can make people excited and inexplicable; no matter how stupid the plot is, when you get to the big screen to see the digital original version of the car, the car, the plane, and the one-on-one fight Scenarios such as F35 will still keep cheering (I was overexcited in the movie theater and scared away several middle-aged and elderly audiences behind me); the most important thing is that even if the fool plot stifled a lot of old McBruce Willie's performance, but The old wheat is still the old wheat, and the moon is still the moon, the tough guy is still the tough guy, he kills even more Transformers than the Transformers, continues to rush blood, continues to explode, and continues to blaze a dirty bloody road ! Yippee Ki Yay Mo! !
