Film Name: 敢死队 4：最终章 / The Expendables 4
When watching a movie like this, the most important thing is to have the right attitude, try not to bring your brain, get in a comfortable position and show your interest, and relax and watch a group of “old gangsters” whose ages add up to several hundred years old fighting and killing on the screen.
–Even so, The Expendables 4 left me a little disappointed: I knew it was going to be lackluster, but you can’t be that lackluster, can you?
Here are a few brief afterthoughts.
1, the most valued aspect of the action scene, there is not too much out of the ordinary.
The only thing worth mentioning in “Expendables 4” is that “The Raid” series Iko Uais is invited to play the villain, while also letting Tony Jaa and Livy Chan (Whip Girl) join the team halfway, adding more Asian faces to the movie, but also bringing more familiar “hardcore kung fu”, which is quite refreshing. “It’s kind of refreshing to see Jason and Ike fight in the action scene, which is basically the best in the movie.
2, although the plot does not require, but the film’s story does have a “get a ticket and go” flavor, very not heart.
Many places are completely scribble scribble processing, such as Gina a group of people trapped in the cabin, casually rely on a hand to get out of the trap, as the core crisis of the nuclear bomb threat also did not make it clear how in the end how to provoke the law …… However, this is also very in line with the film’s tone, the minions is a crop of one after another run out to let the protagonist group mowing the lawn to open the peerless, and the “nuclear crisis”. The “nuclear crisis” also just as a background existence on the line.
3, this kind of old-school action movie, really full of all kinds of “incorrigible” the air of advanced male cancer patients – of course, they know, but still enjoy it.
For example, now Hollywood film and television creations are afraid to avoid the problem of male gaze, “Expendables 4” is how to male gaze how to come, although Megan Fox has now gone to the Kardashian style, but the strip of bright disk smooth still have, the film dislike up and down can be vigorously shot;
Another example is Stallone and Jason in the beginning of the two pretend to dislike each other a few words, that we are such a stinky man is a jerk ah, said it will go to the bar to fight, and a group of strong man than a comparison of who’s masculinity is more full, have to pressure you to head to the head of the pain, as for the back of the Megan in the correction of the mysterious Boss, “may also be a woman”, it is more like a piece of Hollywood fashion nowadays. A piece of Hollywood’s popular “feminist” handkerchief, a little cover almost fully exposed breasts, showing that they know that the sale of breasts is not right, there is no use I do not know, anyway, is to cover up ……
Guns, ammo, killing, knives, axes, sticks, explosions, beautiful cars, saving the world – they know that they don’t fit into the current version of the times, and are doomed to be eliminated, but they can’t help but still like to make it, and there are still people who are happy to watch it, and that’s what The Expendables 4 is all about, I think. I guess that’s why movies like The Expendables 4 continue to come out.
