Kill everyone in the camera!

I don't know if you remember a movie 20 years ago.

As far as action movies are concerned, whether it is close combat or gun battle, they all reached the extreme of the genre at that time, dripping and elegant, and even the upgraded shot of avoiding bullets once became a classic shot in the history of movies.

From the perspective of science fiction films, the theme it discusses is very philosophical, that is, whether our human world is real or not. Science fiction is more like the skin of this philosophical work.

This movie is The Matrix, 1999 is shown in America.

At that time, keanu reeves was 35 years old, but he was called "walking aphrodisiac". He looks like a beautiful 25-year-old boy in a black trench coat. It is elegant and exciting to fight against the whole world alone.

Twenty years ago, 35-year-old keanu reeves was able to kill people all over the world with a submachine gun, and he can still do it today.

20 14 starred in a movie. As expected, he killed almost everyone in the way in the camera just for a car and a dog.

This movie is a quick pursuit, and Chinese translates it into a quick pursuit.

The plot of this film is very simple. John, played by keanu reeves, is a top killer. After washing his hands, his beloved wife died suddenly. Before he left, he gave John a puppy as food.

Who knew that a heartless Russian mafia dude stole his beloved car and killed the puppy in front of him?

Extremely angry, John modified his former killer equipment, searched for the person who killed his puppy, and began to take revenge.

The simplicity of the plot is not surprising, because the director focuses on the presentation of action scenes and scene settings, car chase, gun battle and hand-to-hand combat. Every kind of fighting is hearty and clear, and all kinds of head shots and gun-filling scenes can be seen clearly.

Two years later, the second film came, the title of which was The Biography of John Wick: Chapter 2, and the Chinese translation was Fast Break.

The last action movie that directly used the name of the protagonist as its title is still funny, that is Leon (the killer is not too cold).

In my opinion, body double, who was the director of Reeves's "The Matrix" martial arts film, is full of his ambition and respect for action movies in this 65,438+022-minute second film.

If uncle Colin's five-minute church massacre in "Ace Agent: Secret Service College" is thrilling and hearty, then think so.

This "quick attack" is like stretching these five minutes to 122 minutes, so that you can see how everyone died, which is full of all kinds of wonderful and dazzling killing scenes. Almost every five minutes, a dozen people will fall to the ground.

However, this two-hour long time is no longer just a pure battle, there are many useful and interesting scenes, and it makes up for the first portrayal of John's own psychological state.

Watching this 122 minutes is as refreshing as watching the church massacre for 5 minutes, but you should know that the director arranged such compact elements in a feature film.

The beginning of the film explains the follow-up of the last film. At the end of the last movie, John killed the Russian mafia in new york for his puppy.

At the beginning of this step, he first showed his pursuit of his car, from his son to his father to his uncle, almost to the mafia family.

Even though he retired from the Jianghu, there is still a legend that he killed three people in a row with a pencil.

On this side, the gangster told the second boss about the legend of John. Here, John is like a ghostly figure, bullying the guards near the door, cutting his throat, blowing his head off and stabbing his heart. Every movement is fluid, like using art to carry out violence.

More interestingly, John's face can hardly be seen in this passage, only his figure and technique in the dark can be seen. The audience with God's perspective, like the assassinated guards, was surprised by the sudden appearance of this demonic figure.

This presentation technique of "telling+acting" is quite similar to that of Leon in "This black boy is not too cold". It is not the front of Lyon, only elegant and accurate shooting and silent assassination.

The image of a top killer has been firmly established. The difference is that Lyon's jokes are very calm and restrained, and they are an extreme means of lethality, as long as they are killed with one blow.

Unlike John, John's technique is calm and delicate, but it contains great anger. So even during the assassination, there is a burning feeling in it, which is the most refreshing point of this film. It burns throughout the movie, even at the moment when it is most necessary to calm down.

But what the boss didn't expect was that this character called [[evil spirit]] proposed a peaceful solution and just wanted to get his car back.

The two reached a settlement and the eldest brother saved his life.

From here on, don't worry about the second part, and the dog's tail will continue to marten. The purpose of this film is to surpass its predecessor. So its story is not limited to the struggle within the mafia, but shows a bigger stage and world.

John, who came home, reburied his weapons and equipment and lived with his adopted puppy again, but this dark killer world will not let him live a stable retirement life, or even let him retire.

Anthony, who had made a contract with John, the prospective successor of Camorra, a secret society, came to John for help with their contract [badge], hoping that he could help get rid of Camorra's obvious successor, that is, his sister Jaina.

John naturally won't promise him, and Anthony won't be forced. He just praised "you have a beautiful home." Go out and turn around and blow up John's house.

Winston, as the manager of [Continental Hotel], told John that in these mafia councils, the only bottom line that can't cross the border is to violate the tradition, that is, [break the rules].

The appearance of the badge means that the soul is an oath between two people, and one party must abide by this blood oath.

The director's exhibition of this killer world is like an oil painting depicting the life of the century, which lays out the system and values of the killer world in detail.

They have a unified currency in circulation, [gold coins], and all purchases of weapons, accommodation and transactions are handled in accordance with this monetary system.

They also have an arsenal similar to a gun museum, ranging from exquisite sabers to submachine guns.

Moreover, everything is as beautiful as a work of art, and there are firearms and firepower guides to carefully recommend products for you.

The most important thing for top killers is to have a suit as comfortable and elegant as a gentleman. Of course they do.

If the clothes in "Ace Agent: Secret Service College" are full of decent British customs, then John's suit is even worse, and it also comes with bulletproof function, so that John can flexibly show his elegant figure without being bound, and he can kill people without fear of death.

John went to Rome with his new equipment and met his target and former friend Jaina at the ceremony of succession.

Jaina knew her situation when she saw John. She knew she had nowhere to run, because no one had ever escaped from John in Nightmare. She decided to end her life in her own way.

John, who finished the task, didn't feel free.

On the one hand, Anthony decided to root out the root causes. He issued a reward order as high as $7 million, and sent killers from all over the world to kill John on the grounds of revenge for his sister. On the one hand, Jaina's men are also chasing John everywhere, and he is once again involved in a deeper vortex.

The fighting scenes in which John was killed in these places were wonderful.

First of all, John reappeared his legendary technique of killing people with a pencil. Every movement is spattered with blood, inserting ears, cutting throat and tying neck in one go.

Secondly, the most interesting scene is the gunfight between John and Casian (Jaina's bodyguard) in the subway station.

The gunfight was designed to be very quiet, without rough melee and harsh gunfire. Two people, one upstairs and the other downstairs, were separated by a group of people coming and going, shooting at each other with silenced pistols.

The last scene is violent pencil drawing. Being here is like suddenly breaking into the world of ordinary people from the killer world. The outside world is quiet, with only two angry but accurate killers.

Quite a bit of the lingering charm of the gun battle in the shopping mall in Du Qifeng's Gunshots. This silence is only used as a buffer paragraph, and it also makes a layout for the next hand-to-hand combat in the carriage.

Finally, in the face of such a killer's pursuit, John found the boss of the Beggars' Sect and asked him to tell him directly the location of Anthony. John should shoot the publisher of this reward first.

As a man who had been released under John, the boss agreed to his request, but only gave him a pistol with seven bullets.

A person who can kill people with a pencil certainly doesn't care about this pistol with only one magazine.

Just like in the Roman tunnel, John kept patting his head and mending his gun with a pistol in his hand. Every movement is an exemplary killing technique. There is no nonsense, just raising my hand and patting my head, mending the gun and mending the knife.

From getting the pistol to the end of the movie, I have been changing guns for you, killing a person and changing guns until the end of the movie.

In the film history, the most classic mirror maze fighting is Bruce Lee's enter the dragon, which is also the most obvious tribute to the film.

Fighting in a room full of mirror images seems to have become the standard of action movies. The film also performed well. In the maze of virtual mirrors, John is still pursuing it without any mistakes.

This is mainly because in this scene, the protagonist's calmness and judgment can be better reflected, and the combination of static and dynamic can give the audience a chance to breathe, but at the same time, they feel that they are in a dangerous environment, approaching the besieged state with the characters and the audience, and the audience's third perspective is limited to a certain extent.

Anthony, who was forced to flee to the Continental Hotel, thought he could stay here.

[Continental Hotel] is a very interesting setting in the two films, which builds the most attractive foundation of this killer world.

This hotel is not under the jurisdiction of any mafia family. It is independent of the board of directors and only obeys the orders of the manager.

The hotel is very strong and should be black and white. It is a transit point for the killer to rest and prepare, which is equivalent to the high seas of the killer world.

The only rule of the hotel is: [Don't make trouble in the hotel].

Those who violate this rule will be enemies of the whole hotel and will be hunted to the ends of the earth until they are completely eliminated.

Because the killer world is built on one rule after another, the rules of badges and the rules of hotels.

Only with these rules, the killer will not really become a bloodthirsty demon, which is why John must obey Anthony's request and abide by the badge rules.

But these rules are useless to John now. He chased Anthony to the hotel and blew his head off without saying a word.

John who broke the rules couldn't even keep Winston. Just give him an hour to prepare. This is the time for him to escape. Killers all over the world have received a wanted order from the hotel.

But John doesn't care about being hunted. He already knows that he can't quit this stage at all, and he can only fight to the end.

So he said to Winston, [[I want to kill them all]].

The two minutes at the end of the film, I think, are the most burning part. There were no fights and gun battles in this period. Only John dragged his injured body and escaped under the gaze of the killer waiting to take his life. A stumbling back announced the end of the film.

This kind of burning is not a high-temperature burning with boiling blood, but a scarlet burning, an angry burning in despair and loneliness.

This is also a deeper point than the last one. The ruthlessness of the killer world highlights John's loneliness, but loneliness is accompanied by an almost cruel violent resistance.

The difference between fast break and previous action movies is very similar to the difference between Jin Yong's novels and Gu Long's novels.

In the classic action movies before, the protagonists were forced to fight violence with violence, all to save the world or their emotions, and to practice violence for some grand and warm reasons, all of which had relatively macro propositions.

Just like the chivalrous men in Jin Yong's novels, they had to use peerless martial arts for the sake of the country and chivalry.

On the other hand, in the last part, it is unnecessary to use the reason of using a car to raise a dog to dispel and dilute those grand motives.

In this film, it gradually penetrated into John's inner world. The simpler and faster he kills, the more opponents he has, the more lonely he becomes. He wants peace of mind.

Just like Li Xunhuan and Xiao Li flying knives in Gu Long's works, they are all top players who are killed in one blow, but they are shrouded in deep loneliness.

They are actually the same person, but neither of them lacks the courage to find hope in loneliness.
