's "The Expendables 3" gives people a feeling of excitement and nostalgia. The fight scenes give us a strong visual impact, and the assembly of the daredevils is a nostalgia for the golden age of action film development in the last century. Looking at the action stars on the screen, time has left a deep imprint on their faces, and they are no longer so indestructible. However, when they clenched their fists and fought to protect their "family", they still brought us the same emotion.
For every action movie lover, the "Expendables" series is an indelible memory. The collective appearance of a group of action superstars such as Stallone, let us see it once and for all. This kind of action movie is not a movie propped up by fighting, nor is it a downright absurd "violent movie". It is full of heavy brotherhood under the fighting, and full of reluctance to leave "family" and indignation at the enemy under the violent scenes. This is an indelible heroic complex that brings the film back to its true nature.
The movie depicts the death squad headed by Barney in order to face off against his former comrade Stonebanks. Caesar was seriously injured in World War I. Barney had to re-examine his life. He disbanded his teammates and injected fresh blood into the death squad. Recruit faster and stronger young to avenge the brothers. The result ended in failure. The old teammates couldn't let Barney's safety and returned. In the end, the new and old teammates worked together to avenge Caesar's hatred, while maintaining justice and peace.
Different from the tough battles of real knives and real guns in the first few parts, the third part adds more technological elements. The current battle is no longer a rush in and a random battle. Now, the battle is wisdom and technology. It is the general trend to control the various systems of the entire building through the computer, and to integrate the inside and the outside. "The Expendables 3" cleverly combines fighting and high-tech, and the action scenes are not discounted. It also keeps the movie up to date with the times, and a new sense of action movies emerges spontaneously. Perhaps the indelible thing in our hearts will always be Rambo's perseverance and strength, the kind of indomitable lofty ambition, but the times are developing and progressing, and the kind of arrogance of one enemy to a hundred will be replaced by technology and diversified battles. will become mainstream. Although we sigh and regret, we still have to look forward and align with the future.
The most impressive thing about "The Expendables 3" is the concept of "home". In fact, as early as the second part, they began to avenge their dead teammates, and a vague prototype appeared. They are not just a team, they are a home, a warmest place. The people in this family come from all over the world. They have their own past and their own stories, which may be incredible or embarrassing. But when they come together, they have only one goal, to win and keep their teammates safe.
Barney is the core character of the entire series. He is the most solid backing and the last line of defense, just like the big head of the family. Unlike others, Barney has a conscience and cares. In him, there is a vague shadow of "Rambo". It is the kind of stubborn and innocent heart, and the determination to fight against everything for justice. Because he couldn't let go of his brother's safety, Barney reluctantly disbanded the "Expendables"; because he couldn't leave the new people who worked for him, he was willing to step into the fire pit again and play a game like suicide. For him, the safety of his teammates always comes first, they are a family. This big boss will continue to fight, for the sake of his teammates, but also for justice.
Christmas has been a highlight from the very beginning. He is witty, humorous, and cynical, but he has a determined and resolute heart. From his words and deeds, he always gives people a feeling of "there is a story". He was so mysterious, so unpredictable. The relationship between him and Barney is so inseparable, the cooperation between the two is even more seamless. The other members headed by him never give up on Barney. Even after parting ways, they are willing to come back to continue their passionate life. The hard years of being single-handedly no longer exist, and when they meet again, the emotion remains the same.
Gog is an "outlier" in The Expendables 3. Chatter and "loser" are probably the whole concept most people have of him. But beneath all those exaggerated appearances hides a broken and disappointed heart. One by one his former teammates left him. The growth of age made him drift away from this profession. Just like a football player's sports career, when a newcomer rises, he will lose his main position and become a caretaker of the water cooler. But Gao Ge was unwilling to give up. Once, twice, he finally proved the meaning of his existence with his own strength.
In fact, with the passage of time, the golden age of action movies has long ceased to exist. The fight scenes with real swords and guns are like film movies, which are expensive and face elimination every minute. The "First Blood" that we talked about with relish back then was just a product of the 1980s. That kind of adrenaline rush movie has long been reduced to a memory. At the same time, the hero will no longer appear alone. He is always surrounded by a group of teammates with a common goal. They save the world together and fight for justice together. The intervention of high-tech factors also turned the comparison of strength into a competition of brain power. And "The Expendables 3" skillfully integrates the two, and while welcoming the new era, it also remembers the past, giving the audience an unchanging touch.
Regardless of the future of the "Expendables" franchise, the story of this group of veterans continues. As General Mike Arthur said: "Veterans don't die, they just fade away", maybe they will lose their place in the replacement of old and new, but that spirit will always move every generation, that kind of Immutable emotions never change.
At the end of the film, the newcomers sing "Old Man". They are young and the world belongs to them, but the veterans are like a glass of wine, sweeter and sweeter. Time will make them grow old, and the years will eventually leave a deep imprint on them, but who cares, just enjoy this moment, don't look back on the gains and losses in the past, don't be afraid of the future, and continue to create miracles , to create moving.
