heartless beautiful

I always think that good movies can be roughly divided into two types: one that allows you to start thinking about life philosophy, world peace, and the operation of the universe after watching it; the other is created with the help of ever-changing computer technology. Bombard your senses with a series of visual wonders and make you feel high: take what you need, if you want to do a painful and pleasant brain exercise, please choose the former; if you want to make your body and mind happy, every year the film industry has Countless dollars were spent on the latter - of course, the same huge box office was also harvested.
I watched the movie "Wanted" this afternoon. It's dazzling, it's exciting, it's a violent aesthetic. All kinds of shots of bullets piercing the eyebrows and blood splashing three feet away, all kinds of scenes of speeding cars chasing a car and shooting a car overturned train falling to the bottom of the mountain, it seems that as long as there is a bullet, there will be a close-up showing the graceful flight trajectory of the bullet and the possibility of the decomposition process. The bullet time has been lousy, and the super handsome skill of throwing the gun and flying the turn bullet - I was shocked when the two fought in this way and often had bullets colliding in the air - I Come on, Xiao Li Feidao... From a visual point of view, it is very exciting and very happy.
In the usual style of such films, the story is fairly simple. A unlucky young man - unlucky generally must have the following things: the job is not going well, the boss is annoying and he, the wife cuckolds him, and it must be his best friend, and then because he later He will become a big hero, so he must first be despised as a sissy or something, and then under this series of blows, our protagonist will usually contract a series of mental system diseases such as depression and mania. Knowing that some special event changed his life-maybe it was bitten by a perverted bug, but this time he met a beautiful woman-even though she's older, Angelina Jolie is still so glamorous
... It means that this young man was recruited into a killer organization, because the organization boss, Mr. Morgan Freeman, told him that your father was organized by us. He was shot in the head by the traitor of the organization, so you have to avenge him. After a series of BT training - he can be like other killers in the organization, according to the signal of a big loom to perform tasks - it is said that for world peace, kill one, save a thousand.
Later, the child finally cornered his father-killing enemy and killed him, and then found out that it was actually his father, and Mo Lao was the one appointed by the loom king to die, but he did not want to commit suicide , so he began to make up his own tasks in order to seek high profits, and the boy's father was driven away and was being hunted down. The young man was outraged and ran to the headquarters of the Assassin Alliance, first launched a suicide attack of 1,000 rats, and then bloodbathed - this scene is really bloody, a classic of violent aesthetics - —Although there was no pigeon-releasing scene, nor in church.
In the end, when the confrontation came, the young man righteously exposed Lao Mo's true face, and Lao Mo told the surrounding killers that you were all appointed to die. Are you listening to fate or Take control of urself? I was moved again, how precious is this spirit of courage to challenge fate! At this time, a black-faced strong man was also moved, and was about to pull the trigger on the young man - but An Meimei decided to listen to fate, and threw a shot very coolly, and then the bullet circled and exploded in a circle Head... that's a pity.
The old man also ran away, but in the end, he was set up by the young man to get a headshot from a thousand miles away (seriously, I am really numb to the headshot here..., but watching Morgan Freeman wearing a leather jacket I really couldn't help laughing with that micro-punch), and then the young man said to the camera quite coolly: This is the story of my destiny, What fuck have u done recently?
Then I'm embarrassed. What is it trying to tell us? Should you be in control of your own destiny? Old Mo is in control of his own destiny, right? In the end, as the villain, he was killed by the hero who also mastered his destiny. Oh, is he trying to tell us that we are in control of our own destiny, but more importantly, to be the protagonist...
Forget it, maybe it didn't want to tell us anything. This kind of heartless and beautiful movie just wants to make you happy, well, just be happy.
In a few days, I'm going to watch "The Mummy 3", um.
