This Tuesday, the fifth episode of the much-anticipated Superman film series, Superman Returns, was released simultaneously around the world. I was supposed to watch the premiere, but due to work, I couldn't do it. Fortunately, today is the weekend, so I don't have to stay in the company day and night to generate traffic, so I invited someone to watch this film, which is said to be a good box office. To be honest, I didn't show him that he fell asleep, since as far back as I can remember, I have never wanted to sleep in a movie theater except when I went to elementary school to watch "Armageddon 3" and I fell asleep in a movie theater. . But I don't know what happened today. I felt a little sleepy looking at it. It's not because the film was bad. To say that the iMAX 3D special effects are really awesome, people can't say anything, whether it's Superman's broken wings or Superman's invulnerability , the effect is astounding. If you insist on saying something is wrong, it may only be the plot. From the beginning to the end of 144 minutes, the plot is slightly procrastinated, and the coherence is not as good as the equally lengthy "King Kong". You know, although "King Kong" is an unexpectedly long 180 minutes, when I was watching "King Kong", I didn't even want to blink my eyes. From the beginning to the end, the water in my hand warmed me I didn't even want to take a sip, and at the end of the film, there was a feeling of unfinished business. It is also a familiar plot. Compared with "King Kong", "The Return of Superman" is much worse. What should be explained is not clearly explained (Superman's childhood), and what should be described is not described thoroughly (Superman's emotional world), except for those In addition to the direct sensory stimulation that the special lens does bring us, there are really few things that we can remember in the end. In fact, in my opinion, this time-consuming and expensive "Superman Returns" is like a chicken rib. It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to abandon it!
Of course, "Superman Returns" is not useless, in addition to special effects, at least in some ways he resonated with us and was shocked. Whether it is from the beginning of "Why do we need Superman" to the later "Why do we need Superman", and whether it is from the beginning of Superman's omnipotent rescue of human beings to the last human beings in turn to rescue Superman, all of this They are trying to tell us that Superman is not a real species, he is just a spiritual sustenance for people, he is like a kind of hope, which exists in the hearts of the weak for a long time, expecting that we will be threatened When there is a superman-like thing that can rescue us. And Superman’s imperfection—including his need for love, his weaknesses, and a series of other problems—just tells us that Superman is also a human being. Like all of us, we have also gone through a series of trials and tribulations. This may be the attraction of this film, it brings us closer to Superman and allows us to see ourselves in Superman.
At the end of the film, the hostess Louise Lane wrote such a theme in front of the computer - "Why do we need Superman", here I would like to list some of the answers that I think are the most important, if everyone has better Yes, welcome to add.
1. Superman is more handsome than most men on earth, and he is stronger and sexier. He also has a pair of sea blue eyes that can kill all women. If women have half the voting rights, then I believe , Superman will get at least half of the votes.
2. Superman can go to heaven and earth, invulnerable to swords and guns, and omnipotent. When relatively weak humans face nature that is hundreds of thousands of times stronger than him, they need a person who can surpass all power to protect them and guide them in the direction of progress, and superman happens to be the best at present candidate.
3. Superman is more comfortable than Supergirl. Although he stole the limelight from the majority of male friends, we can be sure that he is an uncompromising pure man. It's a lot more acceptable, it's better to let this immortal superman get out of the line instead of letting those super girls who can't even figure out their gender stand out.
4. Superman has a dedication that ordinary people do not have. Think about it, an alien visitor has seemingly magical powers, but he is kind-hearted, and for the peace of mankind, he will fly around the world at the speed of light. This kind of fearless spirit is not what our party advocates. ? Comparing him to those "people's servants" who eat people and don't spit out bones, I definitely vote for keeping him.
5. Superman doesn't seem to be very fond of human fireworks, and is a "machine" with a very high input-output ratio. In line with the principle of reducing staff and increasing efficiency, and investing more with less, we still hope that he can stay and reproduce more for us. It is best to come to 5 from each continent, so that he does not have to work so hard. In the future, he will open a multinational group, Then over time, Superman will take the "world police" instead, and at that time, the earth will really enter a time of peace.
Finally, let me provide you with a detail, that is, Superman seems to have been active in North America and Europe, and has never performed a peacekeeping mission in Asia, Africa and Latin America. It seems that Superman is really the product of Uncle Sam. It's racist, haha~~~ But it is certain that "Superman" will continue to make episode 6, because the little superman has been born, and the villain is not dead. As a spiritual product, Superman will always live in people's hearts and fight as the incarnation of human justice!
