The first two films were finally completed, and the second film was also very watchable, so I gave it four stars, but some of the views conveyed by the film were questionable, so I finally decided to give it three stars. First of all, I felt the director's malice towards human beings. Yes, he was talking about the meat grinder that appeared one after another, which was really uncomfortable. Another is the sexual suggestion of the locator that needs to be "installed" by mucous, which is really obscene.
There are several interesting or complicated plots and settings. One is that King's Man was destroyed overnight, and the British gentleman had to ask the American "cousin" for help. At the end, Statesman invested in the UK to rebuild Kingsman. One family", this setting is quite a reflection of international relations, haute couture suit shop vs wine giant, gentleman and aristocrat supported by inheritance vs wealthy upstart industry, knight of the round table vs wine, completely different styles, although in contrast I still prefer the knights of the round table style. The first half of the film overplayed Statesman's personal strength. Tequil subdued Eggsy and Merlin as soon as he appeared, and then Whisky showed his skills in the tavern, which only made me feel that the director was at a loss for the character strength setting. The second is that the film's attitude towards drugs and drug addicts is disturbing and confusing. The film too downplays the harm of drugs, as if a dose of antidote can relieve the harm of drugs, but it is actually a concept of stealing. The solution provided by Poppy Medicine can only reverse the virus doped in the drug, but it cannot reverse the harm and addiction of the drug itself, but the movie never mentions it, and even allows the drug addict Tequil to continue to work as a secret agent and the female secretary to return to her original position. Her Royal Highness The marriage is complete , as if to imply that drugs have spread to all levels of society all over the world, and people can only tolerate and accept it and let it run its course. The "legalize, regulate, tax" "all classes of drugs" that the villain Poppy wants to achieve by kidnapping millions of lives in the movie has not been fully realized in modern European and American societies, but it is gradually being realized in part. After watching this film, I have to wonder if such a plot and ending is a satire of reality, but I feel that satire is not the director's original intention, but more like advocacy. Although the president's decision is full of politicians' cold-blooded and selfishness, it also expresses an anti-drug attitude. Here I would like to solemnly say that cherishing life and staying away from drugs, the will of human beings cannot resist physiological needs.
Finally, a favorite point. The soundtracks in the three movies are quite bright. In this part, Merlin sang "Country Road" when he died - this song is really a frequent visitor to the movie, John Denver's classic song, especially when you Driving on the ridge of the Blue Ridge mountain, facing the endless mountains, I feel more deeply for this song. The other is Elton John. In this film, this character is both fictional and real. An aggrieved artist who revolts at the end, but is closer to real human beings.
