Con air Garden air

In the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep because of stomach pain, tossed and turned, got up and watched a Nicolas cage movie Con air.

Con Air is a typical Hollywood action movie, full of personal heroism, spectacular scenes and exciting special effects. In fact, the story of the movie itself is not worth bragging about. It is nothing more than a veteran who accidentally killed someone for protecting his wife. , after parole, in order to go home as soon as possible to apply for a plane to transport prisoners, but this plane is transported by the most dangerous criminals in the United States. The criminals occupied the plane without any suspense, and the following is the hero's attempt to successfully destroy the criminals' escape.

A very Hollywood work and a story. What impressed me the most about the whole movie was the ending scene.

Cage met his daughter, whom he had never met, and the daughter hid behind her mother in fear. Cage was at a loss, and the rabbit doll she had prepared for a long time was also disfigured by a series of battles. A shivering a little dirty and tears flashing from the corners of his eyes make people feel tender. This superhero, who was still wielding all the power and slaughtering criminals, turned into a loving father in seconds in front of his daughter. The transition between the two is easy with Cage, and with the exciting piano accompaniment of the ending theme song "How do I live", it has been a long time since an action movie can achieve such a tear-jerking effect.

I have always felt that Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s was a peak period in both music and film history, and it may be an insurmountable mountain for future generations. Come to think of it, Hollywood too. Always feel that Hollywood action scenes are more exciting and grander now, but always feel that something is missing. I'm just such a person who likes old things and always finds solace in them. I remember Chow Yun-fat said this to Li Xiuxian in Two Heroes: The world has changed, and we are no longer suitable for this arena, because we are too nostalgic.

The first time I saw Cage was the national treasure I accidentally saw in junior high school. This man really likes me too much, low-key, deep, restrained, and tenacious. Aside from the bad movies he made money from, I can't find the commercial and explosive atmosphere of some series of movies in him. After that, I started to search for his movies everywhere. I personally like to watch a movie in reverse and watch it many times and never get tired of it. Some people's films have a different feeling every time they watch them. Leslie Cheung must be the first, and Tony Leung is also one. I rarely watch foreign movies, but Nicolas is one of them. After watching con air for the third and fourth time, I think I really want to write something down.

The commercial movie is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which may be why Nicolas is the full name of the American idol in the 90s.
