Uncle Liam to the rescue again - "the marksman"

When I was a child, it was very difficult for me to accept the death of heroes in movies and TV. I just hoped that they would continue to be played episode by episode and episode by episode. Can you let a kid see Sun Wukong die? At most, it has lost its energy and spirit, and has taken refuge in my Buddha, but you can’t let it disappear physically, because children put personal emotions on it. If you shoot it to death, the children’s spiritual world will be destroyed. disillusioned. I remember watching a 15- or 16-year-old elder of mine when I was a child, watching a very small American TV series "Dragon". The protagonist in it often single-handedly challenged a large group of gangsters. In each episode, there were nine deaths, but in the end, the danger was saved until the end. I had to quit the show to go to high school in the county and he was still active on the screen. There are also "Back to the Future", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", they make me feel that the world is safe, especially when my living environment is very ordinary, especially when I need it. PS, at that time, the summer vacation was really a summer vacation. In the summer afternoon, I was lounging on the mat and eating popsicles watching American blockbusters. That feeling was so nostalgic.

Later, after reading books for many years, my mind gradually became enlightened. It was like the older generation of heroes who could beat the enemy to pieces with luck and skill. I slowly began to disbelieve. Heroes need to show a certain degree of professionalism. Only skills can convince me, so the above heroes, I will forever seal them in my memory, and start looking for more realistic heroes, such as "Bourne's Identity", such as Daniel Craig's version of 007, they use A large number of small details conquered my imagination and filled my imagination of an impossible life, but the essence is the same as when I was a child, it is still the big hero who single-handedly exposes the big conspiracy of an institutional group, and finally It can always save the day. The post-Bourne era has opened up a series of action films with technical flow and style, such as Keanu Reeves' Special Attack series and Denzel Washington's Injustice series, all of which are based on this hexagram. Today, I watched Uncle Liam, It was also from that time that he began to save people. The first part of "Hurricane Rescue" was born in 2008, the year of the Olympic Games. Three Olympic Games have passed in a flash, and the uncle is still rescuing people. It can be called the Olympic marathon to save the world.

The pioneering work of the rescue series "Hurricane Rescue"

After working for many years, I realized that life is not easy. In the past, like the heroes in Jin Yong's novels, the heroes who did not worry about food and drink gradually lost my favor. Instead, I paid attention to some heroes with details of life, such as "No Country for Old Men". The villain killer, Dongmu in "Classic Car", Uncle Wolf in "Wolverine 3", and Uncle Liam in today's "Sharpshooter". These characters all have a common characteristic. Although their professional skills are still top-notch, as they get older, their physical limitations begin to show slowly, and they can no longer accept their old age. Shooting like this is the real thing, it conforms to the laws of nature, and you can't tear anyone apart, or even an old fan like me will be a passer-by.

When I was a child, heroes attracted me the most when they fought bravely to kill the enemy, and now heroes attract me most when they are helpless. To sum up, the overall quality of the film "The Sharpshooter" is very average, but for the audience who grew up watching various human heroes (different from DC Marvel's superpower heroes), it has a kind of spiritual comfort, like the past self. a summary. When I saw the old hero finish his last thing, sit on the bus in Chicago on Saturday morning with his hands on his wounds, take his last breath and leave with satisfaction, I suddenly feel that a part of myself has been taken away by time, even if I On the hard drive lies a newly filmed "Ice Road Rescue" by Uncle.
