"The Brave Seven Flood Dragons": Westerns that lack a sense of mission

As a remake of a classic movie, this one seems to lack that much-anticipated passion, especially for a character like the bounty hunter Denzel Washington, who doesn't feel his heart for the whole revenge story. sense of mission. Especially in a turbulent era, self-preservation is everyone's instinctive reaction. It is a bit too casual to promise an impossible task just based on sympathy, even if the director takes revenge for his mother and sister by creating characters. One of the reasons is that the character has not really shown it from the very beginning. Although based on this incident as the beginning of a fuse, it is still difficult for people to feel the character's desire for revenge, especially at the beginning of negotiating conditions. That kind of detachment from the outside world somewhat offsets the enthusiasm for the whole event. Even the desire for revenge in the heart is not really shown. I feel that the film has never expressed that sense of mission. Another unsatisfactory part is the formation of the team. This process is much easier and more casual than taking over this task. Not only do the characters have no friendship, but their identities are obviously not the same. People who come together so easily are not only desperadoes, but also do not have a temptation worth taking a risk. Just sympathy cannot express the kind of bond that binds them together, let alone truly unite together as a team. To carry out a righteous revenge, I really can't treat these people as heroes, because they almost don't have that kind of righteous power in their hearts, and they can't be treated like mercenaries, because then the movie will change the flavor , I don't know how to look at the characters in the movie, and I can't make people clear what kind of mentality and relationship they have.

There are many characters in the movie, so most of the characters do not show their own personalities, which makes it difficult for us to feel what kind of image the characters use to become heroes. It is this lack of understanding and ignorance that is doomed to the failure of the movie characters. Our understanding of these characters is not even as deep as that of the villain, at least we see how bad he is and what makes us hate and hate it. However, these positive characters have been brought together in one stroke, and it is impossible to understand the characters from all aspects, because their encounters and acquaintances are too simple, and they have not fully expressed the characters' personalities. Even the conversation is pitiful, not to mention the background and background, and even the purpose of this operation makes us feel that they are all confused. It is the director's deliberate weakening of the character's personal characteristics, which makes the entire character context feel tensionless and very vague. When compared horizontally with "The Hateful Eight", which also has many characters, the disadvantage of the film is obvious, and it also highlights the group drama. The movie, "The Hateful Eight" is obviously full of tension, with a wonderful story, making the movie exciting and exciting. As for this movie, it obviously focuses on the design of the action scenes. The main experience is all on the cutscenes of the shootout and duel. There is simply no time to highlight the story and show the characters, let alone After shaping the character of the character, even Denzel Washington, the protagonist, can only exist as a leader. As for what kind of person he is, no one knows.

Since the movie did not do much in the performance of the characters, the director put all his energy on the creation of action scenes. Yes, the action scenes of the movie are still very good, especially the climax of the explosion at the end, Let the film have been in a bland atmosphere and exploded instantly, just like the depression and calm before the storm, and after so long, I finally saw what I expected. Moreover, the visual effects presented by the movie are wonderful group dramas, and each character exudes their own personalities, because the movie has not portrayed the characters of each character very much, so in the end, together with the action scenes, let the characters The character is also fully reflected from the last fight. However, the ending of the movie was very tragic. It did not give the protagonists too much halo, which made the shootout more straightforward and bloody. It was very enjoyable to watch, but there was a lot of depression hidden in it, because these protagonists hardly escaped. The fate of being killed is not the kind of ending we expected, but it deeply reflects the price of resistance. How can no one sacrifice in exchange for the so-called victory, only with bloodshed and sacrifice, the fruit of victory is special. Precious and hard-earned. Although the movie has an extremely exaggerated form of expression in the characters, it shows the lessons of historical blood. The movie seems to randomly select the sacrifices of several protagonists, but after careful consideration, the choice of their death is There is a reason, it is because these characters bear too much inner depression and anxiety, they are chosen to die in battle. After all, it is because of their death that they can truly redeem their own sins.

The most regrettable thing about the film is that it did not show the personal color of Denzel Washington, which inevitably overshadowed the movie superstar. As an acting star, it was not used well by the director, which also caused a great loss to the film, and Denzel .The feeling of Washington's character is also very depressing, and it does not really play the role of connecting several other characters, especially at the end to dig out the real behind-the-scenes truth for us, the whole task is just to complete the role Personal vengeance, which makes the character a bit selfish and lacks that heroic concept. The character who can impress us in the movie can only be Chris Pratt. The character with the most character and the strongest is his character, cynical, cruel and cold-blooded, but there is a kind of injustice in his heart to help him. His sense of justice, although the entire revenge action has nothing to do with him directly, he can still act like a heroic character. And among the seven main characters, the director has the most and the most detailed descriptions of his personal roles. His role is even heavier than that of Denzel Washington. This shows how much the director likes this character. Of course Chris Pratt's performance didn't disappoint either, showing the characters in front of us flexibly and vividly. Even if he died heroically at the end, he still did not change his unafraid and humorous nature.
