Violence and Erotica Aesthetics and More

This is a movie that will never be released in China again, why? One, anti-communism; two, anti-communism; three, anti-communism. In the film, there are many reactionary remarks similar to the actor saying, "It's not always possible that I vote for one in the community", which is tolerable and unbearable. Of course, on top of that, he's also very obscene and violent. However, it is very salacious and violent and against our great beliefs, it is a light thing that can no longer be poured out. The talents of the Ministry of Culture will not care that you have discussed the issues of human nature and life. Our point of view is that human nature does not exist outside the great socialist country.

Of course, I can read this "Watchmen" with a critical thought, guided by Mao Zedong Thought and the important theory of the Three Represents, but this is too boring. Because of the following scene: I jumped to watch a few clips with the movie first, and then I jumped to the second time to see the heroine slowly unzip the zipper of her sexy tight leather jacket, revealing the white flowers. Chest, at this time the camera showed her high black leather boots, I laughed, it turned out to be the temptation of the uniform; then I saw Dr. Manhattan sometimes wearing underwear and not wearing underwear dragging his huge blue glow The male root dangling, I laughed again, it turns out that people have gone to a world outside the material realm and separated from human nature, but they still can't forget the worship of reproduction.

This time I'm going to take a look at Zack Snyder. The $400 million box office revenue of "Spartan 300 Warriors" is not blown. Watchmen is more yellow and violent than the 300 meat cocks in the 300 Warriors, but it must be It is easy to be very pornographic and violent, but it is difficult to add a beautiful one to the very pornographic and violent. "Watchmen" is one of the films I've seen so far that takes the aesthetics of violence to the extreme. Same as 300 Warriors, a combination of fast and slow motion is used in the fighting scenes, but the watchman does not have the delicate feeling of 300 Warriors oil painting. All the fighting scenes are basically at night in order to match the dark style of the whole movie. Or done in dim light. This has to be said about the Comedian fight in the first act of the movie, the interplay of various fast and slow motions, the whole background is shrouded in the bright moonlight and the city lights, and it is similar to the American sixties and seventies. The background music of the Moonlight Song, two figures roll in the room. As the background music enters the climax, the fight between the two becomes more and more intense. The soothing intensity of the music is perfectly matched with the fighting movements. Finally, the music is accompanied by Comedian being thrown off the building and soothing. ending. The other part is that Dr. Manhattan, who was dragging a huge blue male root and wearing small underwear, became even bigger than Optimus Prime and walked into the Vietnam battlefield, and sounded the "Valkyrie" in Wagner's opera "The Ring of the Nibelung". The Viet Cong elements fled and were blown into blood by Dr. Manhattan with a wave of his hand. In the sky, the F-16 fighter jet dragged a long smoke over Dr. Manhattan's shoulder. Of course, this is not Schneider's first creation. This scene in "Apocalypse Now" has always been regarded as a classic by violent aesthetics, but Schneider made Coppola's helicopter shooting more violent.

Next, let's talk about the erotic scenes in the movie. In fact, there is only one real erotic scene. In the comics, there are only two pictures. Schneider turned it into a 2-minute long sex scene. Guess the director's thoughts: anyway, the movies are all R-rated, so let's just give him a scene of making love, so as to save the blood splashing all the time. But then again, this erotic scene is really of a high standard. There are not many erotic scenes that can be described so artistically. In the few erotic films I have watched, I feel that few of them are comparable to it. Thanks again to slow motion, moonlight, city and background music. The hero and heroine are having sex in an aircraft suspended over the city, and the moonlight shines on them. Guess what is the background music? Sing the hymn of the class! Holy Chris! Singing "Hallelujah" when the two of them reached their climax, I was so moved that I was speechless.

I highly recommend the title of Watchman. Even if you don't watch the movie Watchman, you must watch this title. The filming is very high-level. Snyder introduced the background of the story of Watchman to those who haven't seen it through this ingenious technique. Audiences who have experienced the original comics. In the same way, of course, a lot of slow motion is used (this seems to be a major hobby of Schneider?), and then...the background music, I want to shout out that the selection of the background music of this movie is really It's so great! (The Sound of Silence was spared at Comedian's funeral), the title is selected from Bob Dylan's famous song The Times They are a-changin, in the song a brief introduction to the past and present of the Watchers and the old generation The scenery and the end of the hero. There are several classic scenes in history: the atomic bomb in Hiroshima; the victory kiss on the victory day of World War II, but the one who kissed the lady was actually a woman, and the sailor brother who should have pressed the kiss was waving the flag (the reason will be explained later). JFK assassination; and the little girl who stuck a little white flower in the mouth of a police rifle (I don't remember what event, but the scene was famous); the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Now we can talk about the relationship between the original comic and this movie. If you have read the original, you will find that this movie is absolutely faithful to the original, and even the selection of some camera angles is exactly the same as that of the comic Grid. Of course this is only for the first two chapters of the manga I've read so far. How hard is it to do this? Just look at the "Harry Potter" series and look at the films made by Wu Bao, and it's even more difficult to be faithful to the author's original intention for such a comic that deeply explores the nature of human nature and life. , This has also led to the publication of the comic in 1985, and no one has dared to accept the work of this comic adaptation movie. Speaking of which, as Brother Qiuwei and Zhang Erxiao told me two days ago, if you want to see a heroic blockbuster like "Batman · The Dark Knight", then you should not watch this one. "Watchmen", because except for Dr. Manhattan who has been to the material realm and dragged a big penis, the rest of the watchmen are all ordinary people like you and me, without superpowers, and the underwear is well-behaved No curls in pants that don't fly, no spider silk on wrists, no batmobiles or bat armor, just spectroscopic eyes and a hood with a changing pattern and a tall leather jacket Leather boots, if you want to count the Owl airship, which can only be used to carry people and put out fires.

I studied the background of the whole story for a long time, and finally found that the place where this story took place turned out to be an earth in a parallel universe with us. In that earth, the reporter who exposed the Watergate incident was fired, which led to Comrade Nixon being re-elected in one breath. Four times - this can explain why the protagonists of the victory kiss in the title are actually two women - and then in this world around 1985, the world's major cities - New York, Los Angeles, Moscow, London, Beijing , Paris, etc., were destroyed together at the same time, the US and the Soviet Union at this time put aside their former hatred and united against what they considered a common enemy: our comrade Dr. Manhattan with a huge blue glowing phallus (is this a kind of reproductive jealousy? ?), so the world finally traded for peace at the cost of the destruction of major cities and tens of millions of deaths, nuclear war was avoided, and Dr. Manhattan made a huge sacrifice to save the world at the cost of his own reputation. This is a very sad, tragic and unsatisfactory ending, but the meaning is very profound.

Finally, MD is the longest movie review I've ever written.
