After watching "Black Widow" and then watching "Reunion 4", it is even more difficult to settle.

"Avengers 4" has many tears, and of course nothing is more concerned than the sacrifice of Iron Man.

But the sacrifice of the black widow is equally confusing.

What's more heartbreaking is that not only did she sacrifice, but she also had no funeral.

"Black Widow" director Kate Shotland explained that she had talked about it with Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett said that the black widow did not want a funeral.

The black widow is too private, and people really don't know who she is anyway.

So what we did in "Reunion 4" was to make the ending a personal sadness, not a large-scale public confession.

The audience still won't see any large-scale emotional farewell in "Black Widow", something like this is not suitable for this character, so it will still show a moment of personal sadness.

The black widow is always alone before she is alive, and remains alone after her death.

Born quietly, and leave quietly, as if it had never existed.

As an agent, she is extremely professional;

But as a person, her life is too heartbreaking.

"Reunion 4" did not shoot people saying goodbye to the black widow, so the director used a whole movie to say goodbye to the black widow. The whole movie is equivalent to a belated funeral.

The reason why the Black Widow chose to sacrifice herself to save Hawkeye, at first we thought it was because of their friendship.

Later, we learned that there was a single-player movie "Black Widow" after "Reunion 4". This movie is likely to tell the reason why Black Widow did it.

This is indeed the case, and "Black Widow" does speak about it.

But the side effect is that after watching "Black Widow" and then watching "Reunion 4", it is even more difficult to settle.

The friendship between the two is indeed a factor in the sacrifice of the black widow, but there are other factors.

The Black Widow wanted to join SHIELD, and the last test to join SHIELD was to kill Dreykov.

In the process, Dreykov's daughter Antonia was also killed, which became the shadow of the black widow's life.

By the way, Black Widow and Hawkeye mentioned Budapest again in "Reunion 4", and the black widow's reaction was a smile.

Some people say that this is inconsistent with the plot of "Black Widow", because recalling what happened in Budapest, Black Widow's response should not be a smile.

Actually there is no problem here.

In "Reunion 1", Loki said about it, and the Black Widow broke the defense in an instant.

We know that Black Widow pretends to make use of Loki's words, but she is not completely pretending, and part of her real feelings, because at that time she still thought that Antonia was really dead.

Until "Black Widow", she finally knew that Antonia was not dead.

And finally she lifted Antonia's mind control and apologized to her.

Although Antonia was disfigured, the Black Widow allowed her to return to freedom. Although the merits and demerits cannot be offset, she also tried her best.

Life is not perfect, as long as you try your best.

So it was reasonable for her to laugh later in "Reunion 4".

So she had no regrets anymore, and she could dedicate herself to saving the world without any scruples.

This is the first meaning of "Black Widow".

The second meaning is that the black widow always thought that she was abandoned by her biological mother. It was not until many years later that she learned from Melina that she was abducted by the red house, and her biological mother never stopped looking for her.

When the black widow regained hope, Melina immediately said that her biological mother was dead because her existence threatened the red room, so she was killed by Dreykov.

Ever since she was abducted to the Red Room as a child, the black widow has been looking for her biological parents.

After more than 20 years, she finally had news of them, and the news was that they were no longer alive.

A sense of powerlessness struck in an instant, and she realized that she couldn't do anything.

Before she could see her parents for the last time, they died.

Yelena can at least go to her grave, and she can’t even go to the graves of her parents, because she doesn’t know where they were buried. It’s more likely that after Dreykov killed them, she would just do whatever she wanted. Dispose of the body.

As a member of the strongest team on the surface, she had fought with Thanos, but at this time she was rubbed on the ground by the fact that her parents had died, and she was unable to fight back.

Her biggest enemy is not tyrants, but loneliness, but today she learns that she is an orphan forever.

Now when you look back at "Avengers 4", you will feel more heartbroken.

Red Skull said that the black widow's father was Ivan, which made her feel uneasy for a long time.

After all, she doesn't even know who her biological parents are, but a stranger who has never known each other knows. Isn't that enough?

This is not over yet, there is a third meaning.

In "Reunion 4", Hawkeye's family is turned into gray, and the black widow finds Hawkeye in Japan, saying that they have found a way, and Hawkeye can reunite with her family.

Hawkeye said: Don't give me hope.

The black widow said: Sorry for not giving you hope earlier.

Hawkeye agreed to follow her.

This is doomed to the Black Widow of Vormere Star, who would choose to commit suicide, because she promised that she would reunite the Hawkeye family.

If the dead person is Hawkeye, the family still cannot be reunited.

More importantly, why did Hawkeye go to Vormere with Black Widow instead of Banner?

Not only is there almost no Green Widow in "Avengers 3 and 4", "Black Widow" also mentions Hawkeye, Iron Man, Beauty Team, Thor, Falcons, Panthers, Ant-Man, but not mentioning Banner. .

Because the Russell brothers said, the green widow was entirely Weiden's idea.

Therefore, the eagle widow should be the official match.

Hawkeye's wife, Laura, was arranged by Nick Fury when Hawkeye joined SHIELD.

Maybe in a parallel universe, Nick Fury arranged for him not Laura, but Black Widow.

So when she saw Hawkeye's children, she was so happy, as if they were her own children, and she also called the baby in Laura's belly "Little Natasha."

Conversely, the daughter of Hawkeye also likes the black widow very much, because she does not ask others, but specifically asks whether the black widow is coming or not.

We can learn from the conversation between Black Widow and Laura that although the other Avengers don’t know that Hawkeye has a family, the Black Widow knows, and she has a good relationship with the Hawkeye family.

Later Thanos snapped his fingers, and Hawkeye's family all turned to ashes, driving Hawkeye crazy. He became a ronin, and he ran to Japan to kill the gang when he saw the gang, just because they were still alive.

Eagle Eye once had a family, and later lost his family.

The black widow’s experience is even more tortuous. She has had a family, but she has lost her family, she has her family, and she has lost her family.

She was abducted by the Red Room when she was very young, and later formed a fake family with three unrelated people in order to perform her mission.

But she regarded them as real family members, because she really wanted a home too much.

They filmed Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and summer vacation in one day.

She knew that all the gifts under the tree were empty boxes, but she didn't care, she still wanted to open them all, because in that second, she felt the truth.

I feel that this home is not fake, but real.

I feel that Melina is really her mother, Alexei is really her father, and Yelena is really her sister.

Although she had a family again, it was very short-lived. This family was soon dissolved. The next time they met was more than 20 years later.

The theme of "Black Widow" is "family", not the director forcibly talking about family.

If you have watched all the Black Widow movies, you will find that the thing that Black Widow desires most is family, and this is something she has never gotten, even if she gets it, she will soon lose it.

After going to Yingyan's house, she saw Yingyan's child. It didn't take long for her to mention the sterilization operation.

Because she also wanted to marry and have children like Hawkeye, and have a happy family, but she immediately remembered that she was not fertile.

So she began to think, anyway, I can't have children, it's better to perfect others than to perfect her best friend.

In Vormil, she had anticipated that the reunion might be able to successfully resurrect the dead, but she didn't want the first thing that Eagle Eye's child would discover after the resurrection was the death of his father.

She knows what it's like to be an orphan, so she doesn't want Hawkeye's children to have the same experience as her own.

She has not seen her family for more than 20 years, so she hopes that Eagle Eye's children can grow up with their parents.

She attended the graduation ceremony in the Red Room. The so-called graduation ceremony is sterilization, so she hopes that Eagle Eye's children can participate in the actual graduation ceremony, and every graduation ceremony will be accompanied by their parents.

She spends Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and summer vacations in one day, so she hopes that every holiday and every ordinary day of Eagle Eye’s children will be spent with her family.

She received the gift box at Christmas. Christmas is fake and the gift box is empty, so she hopes that Eagle Eye’s children can spend a real Christmas with their parents, receive real boxes with gifts, and then open them. I found that it was a gift I wanted for a long time.

She grew up alone, so she didn't want Hawkeye's children to grow up in this way.

She never got a long-term family, never felt a long-term paternal love, so she does not want Eagle Eye's children to lose family and paternal love.

She gave her life just to perfect the eagle eye and the eagle eye's child.

Because Hawkeye is her best friend and the most important person in her life, their feelings have surpassed friendship and become family.

As for Hawkeye's children, they are like her own children.

And her wish is to reunite the most important person in her life with his children and her children at the same time.

In order to realize this wish, she can do anything at all costs.

She is selfless, and her life is incomplete, so she hopes that the children of Eagle Eye will be successful in life.

She gave up her life, just to let them have a better life.

From a certain angle, she is also lucky. She has never experienced a long-term family, never experienced a long-lasting fatherly love, never experienced being like ordinary people, growing up in the company of their parents, and the children of Eagle Eyes She experienced it.

She never fulfilled her wish, they fulfilled it for her.

At the end of "Reunion 4", Hawkeye got his wish and reunited with his family.

Seeing this scene, she should be able to smile at Jiuquan.

The movie ends with the black widow going to rob prisoners. She left with a smile.

If nothing else, this should be the last time we saw her.

Thanks to the director for letting the black widow finish the last scene with a smile. After all, she didn't want us to cry and say goodbye to her with a smile.

    Disappointment, too lttle too late, too little too late, and people will eventually grow old. . . right

  • Johnson 2022-03-23 09:01:38

    A flawless, mature and complete movie. It is a pity that as the last curtain call performance of the widow sister, the psychological expectations must be very high. Still a little disappointed in the end.

Black Widow quotes

    Dreykov: She's a traitor. She turned her back on her people. On her blood. She had nothing. I gave her home. I gave her love. Put that thing in her you do. You know, uh, chemicals. Turn her into one of your pigs.
