The achievement of this role is "Kick-Ass" (Kick-Ass) directed by the new British director Matthew Vaughn. From the Chinese translation of "One Piece" that looks like a copycat, you may not be able to predict that this work will have such an amazing entertainment effect. In fact, Vaughn's leap is not surprising. His first film "Layer Cake" (Layer Cake) took a different fascinating and interesting storytelling and narrative structure that seemed similar to his old friend Guy Ritche. Although the second work "Stardust" (Stardust) is a drastic rewriting of Neil Gaiman's original work, it is still one of the most overlooked commercial masterpieces in recent years. And this "King of the Sea", created by the original crew of "Stardust", is its best work so far. Whether it is a more mature visual style or the control of the narrative rhythm, there are surprises. progress. Although the film does not have gorgeous special effects, the colorful and fleshy action scenes are both superb and enjoyable. Especially in the last climax battle, Vaughn's slow action style and the comics' graphics are in good harmony, and, He actually played an opera in the soundtrack.
As early as November last year, at the 24-hour marathon preview held by Harry Knowles, the webmaster of Ain't it cool news, "King of Sea" replaced James Cameron's "AVATAR" and Martin Scorsese's "Avatar". Many famous director works such as "Shutter Island" have become the best in the minds of 200 viewers. However, after the film was released in North America in early April this year, it caused great controversy in film critics and society-the focus is naturally to set the role played by Uma Thurman in "Kill Bill" as Whether 11 is in line with the ethical norms of our society, the two senior film critics, AO Scott and Roger Ebert, have the most fierce fire on the values of this film. But the irony is that we can hardly find anything unlovable in Hit-Girl. She is not just a quick and resourceful killing machine. On the contrary, she is very kind and friendly (the actor Kick-Ass indirectly killed her Father, but did not have any resentment because of it), respect for the elders, humble and polite, strong-willed, and quite a sense of humor, whether it is a purple killer outfit or a blonde loli outfit are very flattering.
The popularity of Hit-Girl is naturally inseparable from the successful characterization of "King of the Sea". In fact, even under the dazzling light of Hit-Girl, the other various characters in the film, as small as the soy sauce doorman with only two or three lines, all have very wonderful and unique portrayals. Mark Strong has played the ultimate villain in "Sherlock Holmes" (Sherlock Holmes) and "Robin Hood" (Robin Hood). The boss of the Xiao Group, so bad that he is both stylish and cute, is an unforgettable image of a big villain. The image of Big Daddy played by Nicolas Cage is a spoof of Batman, which is a witty reproduction of the spirit of the original book.
Kick-Ass, whose real name is Dave Lizewski, is perhaps the worst manga hero actor ever, except for the boring life of an otaku, which is a painful experience time and time again. Whether it’s a hero movie or an anti-hero movie, I think the real core part of this story is a person who can’t be ordinary and insignificant, hopes to become unusual, and feel confident in the face of this simplicity. The desires of those old ××man’s entangled "power" and "responsibility" seem to have become vain and disease-free groans, and this reckless freak has become the comic hero who has been closest to our hearts since history. . In the end, the film fulfilled our dreams. This overly happy ending (if we ignore the tail that emits red flags) seems a bit fanciful, but on the whole it is not without practical significance: we are unlikely to be as equipped as the characters in the story. The advanced weapon knocks out the big bad guy and rescues Little Lori, but at least it proves that even such a bold dream is not so unreliable.
Maybe it’s too early to call "King of the Sea" as the new classic of comics, but just as the British singer Mika sang in the ending song, at least compared to the Batman Iron Man, Kick-Ass is the real The comic superhero of our time. Whether it is the homosexuality or the world of otaku girls, the film is ubiquitously integrated with the distinctive mark of the times. And Kick-Ass and Red Mist, the Internet provides them with a world of activity and fame. When Kick-Ass asked Hit-Girl’s father and daughter how to get in touch with them, the answer was “contact the mayor’s office and shine the light on the stars”. This is of course another mockery of the old heroes. Now, Myspace and Youtube are their way of living in this world.
