In 2017, "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, and although the box office was a big hit, the reputation was controversial.
Because of the "wire bed blocking missile", "tank drift" and other plots in the film, people have doubts about the amazing combat effectiveness of the male protagonist "Leng Feng".
Someone even asked quite ironically:
"How many divisions can Leng Feng's combat effectiveness top?"
Later, this group of netizens simply evolved "wolf warrior" into an adjective, referring to the protagonists who fought hard in the movie.
And Wu Jing's reaction to this was blunt:
"The Americans fight a few divisions alone, he is a cow, I can't fight a dozen mercenaries Chinese a person, is it cheap?"
Indeed, if you think that "Wolf Warrior 2" is outrageous, but compared to the "First Blood" series where one person almost overturned a regime, it is a small witch.
From another perspective, if we put aside the ethnic factor, what is reflected behind this controversy is
The coolness and authenticity of action movies are always incompatible.
When the shooting is real, it often feels stingy, but if the shooting is cool, it is inevitable that it will not be grounded.
And as the threshold of the audience gets higher and higher, the "surreal" bottom line of film and television creators will become more and more outrageous.
Just like the "Fast and Furious" series currently in theaters.
In the first part, it was just a speculative street thief.
More than a decade has passed, and they have been able to bomb cities, hit submarines, and even drive cars into outer space.
The script was written this way because the screenwriter knew that the race on the ground could no longer satisfy the audience, and they needed to be more exaggerated, more outrageous, and more imaginative.
"What the hell do I want to see, where else can this group of people fly?"
Nowadays, for the exaggerated combat effectiveness of the characters in film and television works, the audience has long been surprised, and they are embarrassed to go on stage without a little work.
But a new film recently opened up a new understanding, and after watching the last two battles, I couldn't let go for a long time.
Wu Jing still filmed conservatively -
Eternal Warrior
S I S U
"Immortal Warrior" is a Finnish film in which the director and the starring team are raw faces without traffic.
However, after the trailer of this film was released in North America, there was a wave of wind.
Relying on a trailer, "Immortal Warrior" was popular before it was released, and it won more than ten million dollars at the box office with the volume of B-grade films, and the IMBD score also had 7 points, which is a small achievement.
After the streaming version was launched, domestic audiences also quickly tasted the movie.
But compared with the word of mouth in North America, the domestic audience has some mixed reviews.
The score is 6.1, just past the passing line, and interestingly, many people even compare this movie with "Wolf Warrior" -
"Finnish version of Wolf Warrior, anti-German drama!"
"Immortal Warrior"
The story is set in 1944, when the German army has lost and the remnants of the defeated will retreat, and the protagonist is a Finnish veteran.
Seeing this background, you don't need to have any psychological burden at all.
Because this film has nothing to do with World War II except for time and character identity.
The protagonist's name is "Kopi", the war is coming to an end, and he has no intention of fighting the battlefield, and he is focused on making a fortune.
One man, one dog and one horse are in the Finnish wilderness, and there are only two words for everyday life:
Gold.
On this day, the old man followed the water source and dug a gold mine.
The output is amazing, enough to contract the second half of the old man's life.
After the old man finished digging for gold, he embarked on the road back to the city to cash out.
But bump into a group of Nazis on the road.
The leading brigade did not embarrass the old man, and after walking for a while, the detachment that distributed bombs in the rear found the old man's gold, so they started to kill people and cross the goods.
Of course, according to the plot design, the old man is definitely not a fuel-saving lamp, and he wiped out this squad after dividing it by two, and he only suffered minor injuries.
But the forward brigade heard the gunfire and immediately returned to support.
At this time, the painting style gradually began to go outrageous...
I saw the old man throw a stone and accurately smash it on the mine in front of the brigade, flooding with fog, while the Nazis were strong and strong, raising their guns to suppress the fire.
Such an empty plain, the old man stands in the middle of the road, such a powerful firepower, sweeping can also sweep him to death, right?
As soon as the camera turned, he didn't know where to find a piece of iron and resisted all the firepower...
This..... Captain America?
Immediately afterwards, the old man disappeared into the fog like a ghost, and the Nazis did not dare to rush forward because of landmines, so they could only send cannon fodder to spy on the situation.
Then, the old man turned out to use the mine as a weapon, and I don't know in which direction to throw it, I was stunned that it was a sure hit, and it was pasted in the face of the Nazis ...
And no matter how the old man dug up the mine, can the director film how he found the mine?
What a proper demining genius.
When the smoke cleared, the old man had disappeared, and the Nazis led their troops back to chase and kill the old man in order to get the gold.
Halfway through, the old man thought he had left them, so he hid under a scrapped car to rest, only to be followed by Nazis, bringing dogs to taste.
The old man was in a hurry, turned and hung sideways under the truck, cut through the fuel tank, and covered his smell with gasoline.
But the Nazis also noticed the smell of gasoline, and immediately stationed the army to check and found the old man.
They sent dogs to bite him to death, and then guess what?
The old man took the initiative to cut the match and ignite the gasoline on his body.
After scaring the dog back, he immediately ran to the lake behind him and jumped down.
However, since you want to jump into the lake, then it is a bit redundant for you to ignite yourself, right?
Well, maybe the old man wants to show off his fire resistance.
Jumping into the lake, the edge of the lake is in full view, isn't this catching turtles in an urn? Let's just wait for the old man to come up and catch his breath.
The Nazi guarded the lake with a gun for a long time, and finally waited for him to breathe, but one shot missed.
The officer couldn't wait and sent someone to dive to find the old man, but after several water ghosts went down one after another, they were all killed by the old man in the water...
In the end, the old man took control of the Nazi boat and swam to the other side of the lake under cover.
Please note:
The old man did not have any equipment to help in the water, and he was stunned that he could make the Nazis wait by relying on lung capacity, and killed two soldiers.
And the way he breathes is to suck the trachea of the dead...
I understand the truth, but my nephew in elementary school knows that this gas is carbon dioxide, can it work?
First of all, his whole body was on fire, he was undamaged, and then he was alive and alive in the lake, and the atmosphere did not come to breathe, and the resistance of water and fire was full.
Magical defense is high, but what about physical defense?
In the next scene, the old man landed on land, and the Nazis on the opposite bank began to strafe with heavy machine guns.
Tongues of fire swallowed up the entire woods, but the old man was very experienced and carried a Nazi corpse on his back in advance.
Then boo, the bullet hit the corpse first, and the old man was unharmed.
When the corpse was broken, thrown away, there was no protection, and the bullets all magically bypassed the old man.
It's not buddy, what the hell are you hitting or not?
For a moment, I suspected that this guy was a spy and acting with the old man.
In this way, the old man trotted all the way under the fire of machine guns and walked out of the Nazis' field of vision.
Not to mention physical resistance, even the lucky value is full.
You think that's the end of it?
The next scene is the essence of the whole movie!
The old man fled to a ruin, and after treating his wounds a little, he turned his head and was captured alive by the Nazis who rushed up.
Finally caught the old man, the Nazi soldiers liquidated the gold, according to the script convention, the progress bar is only half, and it is certainly not possible to kill the protagonist directly.
They tied up the old man and hanged him.
Hanging, this thing does not suffocate, but also has to let the weight break the neck, right?
The result?
The old man was hung for a long time, stunned that he was not dead!
After the Nazis left, he even used a bullet hole in his leg to put a rebar on the gallows to borrow power...
Is your body really made of meat?
After the night, the old man just slept, and after a plane flew by, it knocked the gallows down, and then the old man woke up.
This is a cyborg, right?
Can you make up for a strengthened plot of the old man, this is outrageous!
Why is he not afraid of hanging?
Then the old man killed two more Nazis, hijacked the plane, put the plane on the path of the Nazis, and officially declared war.
I saw that the old man was like a transparent man, and somehow climbed on the roof of the Nazi army.
With a pickaxe, one after another knocked the Nazis to death.
Outrageously, every car in the convoy is connected end to end, but the old man is about to blow up the car, but the car in front is indifferent.
After seeing the corpse of his companion, the finisher behind not only did not act, but also played tricks.
Just all the Crouching Dragon Phoenix chicks.
In the end, the old man turned everyone over, and the little BOSS singled out, and these two finalists were belated.
The old man Xiao Ho pointed out, they actually took the initiative to throw all the equipment, turned around and ran.
Perhaps this is the aura of the male protagonist, which has reached the level of its own attack special effects.
Finally, the old man got on the motorcycle and went to chase the big boss.
The big boss got the gold, contacted the plane to prepare to escape, the plane was about to take off, and the old man also came with a servant.
But at this time, the plane has already raised the speed and is about to leave the ground, and the male protagonist only has a motorcycle, how to deal with it?
I saw the old man running under the belly of the plane with a sliding shovel, and with a wave of the small pickaxe, he actually picked it up on the plane.
Bare pickpocket !!!!
Tom Cruise has to shout when he sees you!
Immediately afterwards, I saw a plot that ruined my three views:
The plane flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the old man was alone, with a pickaxe and a hand, smashed the floor of the plane and got into the plane with his bare hands.
Brother screenwriter, I never dared to dream of doing such a vigorous thing.
You think that's the end of it?
Too naïve! And a big dish!
The old man dealt with the villain in three or two strokes, and after patting the ashes, he suddenly found that the plane was unmanned and hung his head to the ground.
The old man made a mistake, he couldn't fly the plane himself, and then he found a corner so lightly, fixed himself casually, and waited for the crash.
The plane crashed, and in an instant there was a sea of fire, and the blown up fuselage jumped up several stories high.
The camera turns.
The old man is still not dead!!!
He didn't even have a broken bone, got off the plane, didn't even bother to go to the toilet, trotted all the way to the city exchange, and finally cashed out all the gold!
This physique, Captain America is ashamed of himself when he comes.
The old man has successively experienced mines, shootings, fires, flooding, hangings, crashes, and even machine guns have been swept away.
Stunned is full beard and full tail, and keep full of battle awareness of the end.
It turns out that the title of "Immortal Warrior" is literal, and Ya's old man can't die at all.
Watching other movies, I will worry about the situation of the protagonist, but in this film, I just want to see what new skills the villain can activate the old man.
After watching this film, I found that Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" is just a pediatric, and Stallone in "Rambo" is just that, and the three bald heads of the "Fast Furious" series separated overnight and disbanded the logging fatigue.
It makes absolutely no sense.
After reading it, a netizen was shocked:
"I saw half of it and thought it was a Finnish wolf, but when I saw it, it turned out to be Captain Finnish."
epilogue
Of course, the Finnish god of war killed the Nazis angrily, and in addition to the outrageous character, people said that it was like "Wolf Warrior", more because of the main theme feelings.
In fact, every country has its own "anti-Japanese drama", and it also has its own "wolf warrior".
Just like the box office champion "Top Gun 2" in 2022, every shot has a dancing American military flag, full of ambitions for the export of American culture, which can be regarded as a propaganda video of the US military.
But the authorities are clear, and the bystanders are fascinated.
When we in different cultures can't understand these "glyphs", we always rationalize and idealize them, naturally lower our guard, and aesthetic standards are quietly tampered with.
We need Wolf Warrior, just as the United States needs Top Gun, and Finland needs Immortal Warrior.
The plot of the movie is outrageous and not scary, but when the audience has two sets of standards, it is dangerous.
