The art of blank space in "The Avenger"

Watching "The Avenger", what impressed me the most was not the path of tyranny and evil that Denzel Washington opened, but the large amount of blank space in "performance". The cashier went to work the next day and opened the cash register. The ring that he was robbed has come back. The male protagonist wiped the hammer and explained the punishment story that had happened clearly, leaving infinite space for reverie and giving images. Imaginative space like words. At the end of the disciplinary action of sneaking into the villain BOSS mansion, as the male protagonist walked out of the room step by step after completing the goal, the bodyguards lying on the way, the lore of the previous level was presented one by one. There is also the use of the opening camera. The camera changes from the noisy city street scene to the room, then to the corner, and finally falls on the male protagonist, which not only shows the male protagonist's alienation from the noisy world, as well as his inner loneliness Closed, it also explained the male protagonist's secluded life in a city-like seclusion. Action movies can make the temperament of literary films, which makes people look forward to Anthony Fuqua and Denzel Washington's continued cooperation in "The Avenger 2".

The Equalizer quotes

  • Robert McCall: I don't have a lot of time. Which means you don't have any.

  • Teddy: When you look at me, what do you see.

    Robert McCall: [chuckles, shifts in his seat]

    Teddy: The answer's nothing. I have no feeling about you one way or the other. You're like... like lint or a bottle cap. You're just a thing to remove.
