It was only recently that I realized that these words were a one-sentence film review about "The Expendables" written by a certain cow on the wall back then. So I believe: the time machine does exist.
Look at how harmonious these uncles and uncles are, they frown when they see the enemy, they are just when they beat the enemy, and they are ruthless when they make fun of each other.
However, in this day and age, muscular development can no longer cause girls to scream. You see, even Jackie Chan has to make a factual commentary to prove that his brain is as developed as the cerebellum. In the reinforced concrete forest, those who survived were trained to the point that they were invulnerable and able to climb over walls and trees. Our demand for Rambo or Huang Feihong has dropped sharply. Fang Zhouzi who can crack down on fakes for us and Luo Yonghao who can speak for everyone are the heroes.
What makes the muscular man even more depressing is that there are more and more strong women, everyone is white-collar workers, and they fight for typing speed instead of 8,000-meter long-distance running. From a sociological point of view, economic ability is the basis for determining the social status of men and women. As we move into urban life where the service sector is increasingly important, the physical advantage that men have dominated for millennia has gradually lost its importance. If you look at any of the current figures, how many are doing manual work?
Therefore, the current action movies are not "man" enough. Even Tom Cruise is an action star, and Angelina Jolie is in the same period. If I were Stallone, I would also come out of the nursing home, so broken!
The story is the same as it was decades ago. It is still the rescue of an unknown third world country, and the fist has the final say. But what can he do in China? In the morning, drink a glass of milk with added ingredients, eat fried noodles in gutter oil at noon, and have to go to the first aid in the evening.
However, the muscular guys will still watch it, not for a few old faces, but for the "golden age" that is gone forever.
