Young men have blood, old men have brains

Fortunately, I am neither a Stallone or Schwarzenegger fan, nor an action movie fan, so I can evaluate the whole movie objectively without those feelings and complexities.
Putting aside the phenomenon and looking at the essence, putting aside gimmicks such as "the old action ace teaming up", and ignoring the aging skin of the protagonist, the movie has completed the basic program of an action-suspense-adventure movie very well in general, with surprises and surprises , There are thrilling, and even more so, the old bone clankly killed a bloody path in a special effect, 3D and IMAX, and the killing was pretty beautiful.
Let me guess, the original intention of the two uncles "Epic" was: "Return to the essence of the movie and impress people with stories", if you are not used to such sanctimonious vocabulary, it can also be understood as: want to use this movie to draw special effects Slap. In the end, the slap was not loud enough, so I can only say here: the bloody road kill is pretty good.
American movies have been brilliant, some people say you are bullshitting, American movies are still the hegemon, right? I want to ask you what is a movie? I think the job of a movie is to tell stories. Through these stories, people can feel the feelings of others and gain their own spiritual food. Therefore, watching a movie is actually the same as having a dream. A Hollywood industry person once sighed: Most of Hollywood's excellent screenwriters and teams have almost all switched to TV dramas. Therefore, the current American film is the hegemon but not brilliant.
Special effects and storylines are like desire and love. Desire is for instant stimulation, and love is for long-lasting aftertaste. Which one is superior is obvious.
Movies cannot rely on special effects to play cards, because our expectations for movies are by no means low-level sensory stimulation, we need more advanced spiritual feelings, we need to improve our various views of life and world through movies, touch our inner emotions, Helping to shape our id....If these needs are summed up: all we really need is a story, a dream, and the request is so simple.

The two masters of "Epic" told us: young men have blood, and old men have brains. I hope that when my daughter grows up, she will have brain movies to think about when she is a teenager, and bloody movies when she is old. Special effects on heroes.
