Interlude: I watched a DVD when I was a kid, and the soundtrack to this video was Starship's Ngsun, but I was misled after watching it halfway through. In fact, the video in which the song appeared was full of energy.
I have to say that although the special effects at that time can be seen, they are not inferior to the realism now, but the rhythm and plot setting, after all, it was the early stage of the brilliant prelude of the commercial blockbuster, and some naive and unimaginable will appear today. The simple popcorn logic on the card god.
The beautiful Chinese middle-class aesthetic orientation of family fun (in order not to make the audience feel too sad, no matter how the machine gun fires Harry, it can still be intact, and the daughter and wife also missed a bullet. The secret agent family) loves his wife, loves his family, and his wife is the same , The three views are a bit boring, and it contains Kashen's idealized attitude towards the phenomenon of "green hat" and a little self-deception.
Raper being her husband and Superhero being her husband doesn't make a lot of women feel more irritated and rekindle their love, just complaining about why they have to be their husbands. Boredom is boredom, it won't be shaken by any factor, and it won't change because the heroine is the kind of silly setting that is summoned by the male lead and grows up because the heroine is a card god. There is a classic Rose setting. That's it.
There are half stars in Samsung for the grand and sonorous soundtrack of the 8 and 90S synthesizer brass.
The action design of the three-person fight in the plane is very good, the rhythm in the bridge is not cool enough, and the dance is very good, but it would be better to simplify it, after all, Schwarzenegger is really not suitable for Flirting.
Hidden in the ancient Persian heritage are four laser missiles (the Trojan War at the end of the 20th century). The taunt of funding and Weapons support but still not knowing how to use electronic warfare weapons.
The villain's portrayal is flat, but the appearance is completely opposite. Although the excessive secretion of belligerent androgen has led to baldness, many close-ups can be seen as a beautiful man with deep eyebrows (the villain was also given a T- in Terminator 2). More than 1,000 handsome close-ups), at this point, I still have to applaud the arrogant but slightly restrained aesthetic of Laoka’s elitism, even the cruel narrative can’t escape his aesthetic category, it can be sinful, But not ugly.
As for the self-mockery on "Big Size", both the big ship and the Harrier bomber in this film have been "on the screen" for a long time. This kind of worship and self-satisfaction is not alone, and there is no need to repeat them. At the end, the funny and clear close-up of the front face of the villain leader when he is hung up and fired to the friendly army is reminiscent of the classic scene in "Dr. Strangelove; How I Learn to Stop Fearing and Love the Bomb", and Kashen's method here is also It is a tribute and recognition to Kubrick's "Big Size" orientation, although the latter's mockery is more acute,
This film made a near-prophecy prediction for 9/11 in 2001. However, the most alarming prediction was the fall of the Black Hawk. I thought it was shot after the beautiful country was beaten. I went to check it, and it turned out that it was shot in the same year as 9/11, but several months earlier than 9/11.
On the one hand, the "Bird Whisperers" put a miniature missile to blast out their companions in the front seat, and on the other hand, the parallel cut Harry clearly stated the usage of the laser missile. What does this comparison in the film tell us? The hegemonic stance is not just beginning to appear, but is gradually swaggering. Even if the militants are behind the manipulative hands of the self-proclaimed noble people, they can still shoot such works and spread them out, as if worshiping Buddha and burning incense. The free-spirited maniac erased all sins and was born noble.
Ridley Scott's self-confidence, which he had always adhered to before shooting the Black Hawk, was pushed aside by Cameron's self-confidence and optimism (the crushing advantage in "Gulf War" has just passed a few years ago), along with the beautiful country. The most glorious years, striding forward, marching on the wreckage of dollars, refugees and arms.
At that time, we were still relatively ignorant about some things under the relaxed atmosphere of the culture of introducing the first-generation imported blockbusters and the natural growth of the low-key economy, and were in the stage of crazy absorption.
And many people today, whether they are old or have entered the society, have become more aware of world affairs, but occasionally they are still in bed, looking forward to those unrealized ideals in the blockbusters of those years. , proud and glorious atmosphere. In this part, it is unnecessary to use the existing rationality to criticize. This is also what I want to distinguish. The victory of cultural export contains not only ideology, but also some universal values that cannot be reversed.
Among these values, some false double standards have been smashed by us, but some of them have been integrated with our immature hearts, almost forming a definition of perfection, which is closely connected with memories and dreams. Whether it is a derivative of other countries' perfunctory assembly lines, or which country it comes from, the mind needs it at a certain time to allow its intrusion and affirm it.
If it nurtures in our hearts the lofty giant tree rather than the flattering poisonous vine, it is mean and unreasonable arbitrariness to investigate its effect on everyone and shoot it all out. So, can we gather trees into a forest? In addition to relying on painstaking aesthetics, it may also rely on meticulous creativity. The audience and the creator are responsible for part of it.
Above, True Lies has the filters of the original blockbuster memories and many advantages of its own, but as an ordinary amateur viewer, he has seen a lot of commercial blockbusters, and it is impossible to deny some of its actual shortcomings because of its status. Samsung. In the end, even if it is not extremely thrilling, these two hours and 20 minutes are not boring. Friends who want to relieve boredom and complete Cameron's works can watch it.
