Movie name : Venom: Deadly Guardian

Director : Ruben Fleischer

Release Date : November 9, 2018

What it's about : Eddie Bullock, a journalist, initially suspected Dr. Drake's bad scientific research, but there has been no evidence. At this time, Dr. Dora Ske, who participated in scientific research with Dr. Drake, couldn't bear such a human experiment, so he brought Eddie Block into the scientific laboratory, and was possessed by alien biological venom by accident. . No one expected that there was more than one "Venom", and another "Venom" attached to Dr. Drake, and finally staged two Venom battles. Fortunately, both Eddie and Venom survived.

Regarding the starring role, when I saw Tom Hardy, it reminded me of Reginald in "Legend", restrained and calm. And Eddie in "Venom" realized a loser, his job was fired, his girlfriend was dumped, and a bunch of bills needed to be paid, but he never found a job. The expression is lax, bloated and lazy, and does not want to make progress. Like a lost lamb walking on a deserted road, unable to find its way.

Tom Hardy (Legend: Reginald)

Tom Hardy played the characters very well, from appearance to expression. There is no restraint and calmness, but more debauchery. If you listen to the boss, you won't lose your job if you do a good interview, it won't cause your girlfriend to lose her job, and she won't even abandon him in the end. But that's what made him resolutely discover the big secret of Dr. Drake, which led to a series of fighting scenes, which allowed us to see the power of Venom.

Talking about the characterization of Venom, from the beginning, the symbiote proposed by Dr. Drake made me think that this is not a good organism. It has no shape and is like mucus. During the experiment, it was found that it could not coexist well with people. , needs to fit. And Venom found Eddie, found a good host, and showed unprecedented abilities. Avoiding pursuit, killing enemies, and eating people's heads are all villains' styles, especially their appearance. At first glance, they are really considered by me to be a big villain, an invincible villain. With a dark figure, whitish eyes, pointed teeth, a long tongue, a mouth that can bite off a head in one bite, and a ferocious expression, no matter how you look at it, he is a vicious person.

However, the strength is really super strong. On the one hand, it can be separated from the host, unlike the Hulk, who is directly transformed by Dr. Banner; on the other hand, it is powerful and shocking, and it is not afraid of bullets and shells. With one bite and one head, sharp claws can tear open the car. , All kinds of weapons with arbitrary deformation of the body, I really amazed this invincible existence. I think, there is no one in the Avengers who can hurt him. After a battle, there is no scar.

·As far as the fight scenes are concerned, compared to the Avengers, it is not shocking. But the psychological transformation of Venom's characters surprised me. From the very beginning, he said that he wanted to destroy the earth and eat human beings, and later he wanted to protect the earth and defeat another bad "Venom", but this psychological change, Venom said it was Because of Eddie. Maybe, on another planet, Venom, like Eddie, is also a loser, but on Earth, together, they can do many useful things. Just like at the end of the scene, when Eddie told Venom about good people and bad people, and found that the bad people asked the supermarket owner for protection money, it was time to punish the bad people. And Venom also realizes what is good and what is bad.

Venom Punishes the Bad Guys

In the end, Venom is not a villain, but a hero in my eyes.

The reason is very simple, just because he and Eddie punish evil and promote good, rescue good people, and protect the earth.

    In the past, the Marvel superheroes on the big screen were too handsome and handsome, grandiose, luminous, and upright, and their divinity was greater than humanity. In the past two years, they have become more and more humane, and their swords are slanted, weird, stupid, cheap, cute, and poisonous. Intergrowth is also a kind of imagination. This time "Venom" is not only a "human-like", it is also a monster with sharp teeth. Tang Laoshi and the monster with a big mouth are perfectly integrated, basically there is no contradiction, and it is quite fun. At the same time, we must be handsome and righteous, while we must be blamed for evil, and we must ensure that all ages are suitable, not to scare children and flowers and plants. Domestic creators can't imagine it. Hollywood can not only play the cult modeling into the mainstream. Aesthetics can also be grafted onto mainstream values, which is not just a problem of industry.

    The beginning is almost the end of "Awakening of Alien Stars". From "Venom", you can see the characteristics of various parasitic movies before, from the "Devil's Flower" that alluded to McCarthyism in the 1950s to the "Infectious Disease Panic" in the 1970s. Creepy, then to the alien colonial expansion of "Alien Killer" in the 80s and "Men in Black" in the 90s, this type has now become very mature. In "Venom", the dog is used to escape danger and to find a suitable host again, which is also a variation of "Mutant Type 3" and "Alien Killer". In this film, the foreplay progresses slowly, and there is too much waste. Fortunately, the "confidant uncle" Venom is pretty cute.
