Today we talk about the French / American / German film Gunpowder Milkshake.
Title Gunpowder Milkshake / Bloody Milkshake (2021), alias Bloody Alliance (Taiwan).
According to the film's setting, there is an organization called The Firm in the world, which is responsible for recruiting killers and carrying out various assassination activities. Scarlet, the female killer, is one of the company's killers.
Once, Scarlett committed an accident and needed to run, leaving his young daughter Sam behind.
Sam was forced to separate from his mother since childhood, was raised by the company, and became a veteran killer.
Similarly, Sam killed the son of another big man in one assassination attempt, while she also doubled herself in compassion during another assassination mission.
These troubles soon turned into a steady stream of pursuits, with both the boss and the company sending out the remaining killers for endless pursuits.
Sam needs to solve these troubles, and the only way to do that is to fight to the end.
The mother-daughter connection is like the "milkshake" written in the title of the film.
Before Scarlett left her daughter, she had little time to accompany her, and the occasional contact was between the two of them sitting face to face and drinking a milkshake together.
The film begins with a milkshake and fights bloodily until it makes a living.
The heroine Sam is played by "Nebula" Karen Gillan and the mother, Scarlett, is played by "Queen" Lena Headey.
Lina Heidi is only 14 years older than Karen Gillan and is now a mom. The age difference of 14 is not large, and it is also set in the film, Scarlett is a female killer, she gave birth to a daughter at a very young age, which is in line with the age difference between the two actors in real life.
In addition, he played important supporting roles, and the three librarians who had many action scenes were Carla Gugino, Yang Ziqiong and Angela Bassett. Each of them has a solo scene of their own.
It's clear that this is an action movie where women pick the big beams.
This year, women's action movies are popular, as if as long as women are set up as protagonists, and then find a group of sparring partners, play lively on the line.
The advantages of Gunpowder Shake are obvious, but the disadvantages are also visible to the naked eye.
Let's start with the pros.
1. The film is composed of a righteous camp composed of a big heroine and all women, and its appearance is very eye-catching.
Karen Gillan, with red hair and a height of 1.8 meters, is the most dazzling boy in any scene. Even the male actors who played against her were not so easy to find, and it was not so easy to find someone who overwhelmed Karen Gillan in height and momentum.
Several other actresses are also not inferior, all painted with exquisite makeup, fists and feet work hard, and they are competing for glory.
2. The film has a very, very interesting action arrangement, which largely offsets the shortcomings of non-professional action actors.
A variety of whimsical battle scenes make people can't help but be amused, and the female killers give full play to their ingenuity and organically integrate comedy and action when they are at a disadvantage. People can't help but sigh: they can actually play like this.
The disadvantages are equally obvious.
1. The story plot is sparse, very sparse.
The film wants to learn the "Fast And Furious" series but only learns the skin, ignoring the most basic storytelling.
The most basic thing in a movie is to tell a good story, if the story is untenable, no matter how interesting it is, it can only be superficial.
The biggest shortcoming of the film is the blunt plot setting, and the audience will feel embarrassed to cut their feet.
2. Deliberately created gender antagonisms.
Although the film cleverly does not explicitly say anything about gender, it is fully revealed in the character setting.
Men are all stupid and bad images, and women are heroic.
Female figures cover all skin tones, as well as various sexual orientations, and are absolutely politically correct.
3. The action is soft and soft, and there is no power to speak of.
Except for Yang Ziqiong, the film is a non-professional action actor, so the martial arts action relies on interspersed editing to complete, which looks very fake. If it weren't for the fun of the action scenes, the viewing effect of the whole film would be greatly reduced.
Join hands to finish the job,
It's not worth looking into.
