In the past few days, I believe that such a film has brushed everyone's home page and circle of friends - "X Contingent: Full Assembly".
Today, let's talk about this newly released DC movie, in this sweltering summer, I can finally "cool" it!
The film's director is James Gunn, also known as the Rolling Director. He has directed Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series of films. This time, we can also see michael Luke, who played the role of courageous in the MCU, who appeared at the beginning of the film. The success of the Guardians of the Galaxy series proves that the director has the ability to present multiple characters in a limited number of three-dimensional ways and grasp the rhythm of super British comic film adaptations.
In addition, in the early work "Torn Man", which is called "childhood shadow" by many fans and friends, large-scale pictures, parasitic monsters, and absurd humor elements have long been unabashedly presented. These "bad tastes", "strange ideas" and spontaneous and bloody violent aesthetics are in the same vein as today's "X Contingent: Full Assembled", and the IP and director's style match and achieve unexpected results.
This time the film is still a continuation of the traditional "save the world" routine, but the packaging method is "anti-routine" and full of personalization. Amanda is also responsible for selecting people from among the supernatural criminals and organizing squads to carry out secret missions.
The South American state of Coto Malta originally had good relations with the United States, but because of the recent coup d'état , the situation was unfavorable to the United States after the New Deal took office. At the same time, the country has a laboratory in Jotunheim, left over from World War II, where thinkers are conducting highly threatening biological experiments that threaten disobedience to rulers and even the world. Amanda selected two squads to go to the country to complete the task of destroying the laboratory.
The first squad, which included flags, clown girls, javelins, scholars, and other members, was a veritable "suicide squad.". From the landing of the island, there have been various "head-off" operations: landing on the surface of the sea, weasels can not swim and drown; after encountering the enemy, members report themselves to the door and are shot; TDK disassembles his limbs to slap the enemy; Montgar grabs the helicopter, but the plane falls out of control and explodes to hit his teammates; the scholar flees and is ruled by Amanda...
The first team's "on the scene and off" approach brought the audience the stimulation of the opening chapter, and the first team's supporting roles fought like a joke - the members either received a box lunch or their whereabouts were unknown. The comical and violent opening emphasizes the facts about Task Force X: the members of the group are criminals, and their motives are not understood by ordinary people, some are unreasonable, and some are unreasonable. There is no organization, no one has to cooperate with anyone's rules, not even a battle plan. You may think they're fooling around, but they're crazy in themselves!
It's also worth mentioning that the weasel who fainted for an entire film was captured by the director's younger brother, Sean Gunn. He was also a motion capture actor for Rocket Raccoon and Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy series.
The second team is the real protagonist team, led by the Bloody Movement, composed of Mousetrap 2, Polka Dot, Peacemaker, and Shark King. Halfway through meet the Flag and the Jailbreak Clown Girl. This team is more reliable than the first team, everyone is not so nonsensical, the combat strength is not weak, but also encountered a variety of problems. But in this adventure, they solve problems, know how to trust each other, and become like a real team.
Bloody Campaign was imprisoned for being used to shoot Superman with a kryptonite weapon, and his relationship with his daughter was at odds, who considered him an incompetent father and angry and depraved that his father was a criminal. Amanda threatens his daughter and forces him to cooperate with the mission and become captain.
Bloody Sports has no superpowers but is experienced in combat, and its shooting ability is outstanding, but it has a weakness - fear of rats, which just makes the mousetrap girl a little puzzled. The rat catcher and the father are the people at the bottom, the father and daughter are dependent on each other, the father has given the daughter the ability to control the mouse, the mouse catcher knows that although the mouse is the most humble animal in the eyes of outsiders, they have given themselves infinite warmth, witnessed their time with their father, and are therefore the best partners.
Between the two people's respective family identities and emotional lack, a kind of "father-daughter" love is stimulated. The dialogue in the car confides in the heart and makes a "live" pact; the peacemaker provokes infighting and tries to kill the bloody movement of the rat catcher to seize the hard disk resources; the climax part is first the bloody movement that notices that the rat catcher is going to be attacked by the starfish monster and throws him down, the mouse catcher finally fights against the starfish monster to summon the mouse, and then protects the bloody movement of the fear of rats with one hand; at the end, the bloody movement finally overcomes the fear of the rats and strokes the small mice that inhabit their legs... In between, there is a complete emotional recovery and closed loop.
The Poldian man has been so resentful of his mother's failed experiments with his own and his family's bodies that he may have looked like his mother everywhere he could see. He is not good at words, but he also cherishes everyone's friendship, which is a detail control. He smiled as he heard the mousetrap reminisce about his past, the bloody movement expressing understanding and encouragement. When the driver who drove for them was in trouble, only he noticed that he wanted to help the other party.
After watching this movie, no one does not love the Shark King. The Shark King is a simple macho man, but he is hard to contain by nature, and on the first night on the island he was so hungry that he almost ate the sleeping mousetrap. Fortunately, in time for the discovery, the rat catcher quickly made friends with the Shark King, regardless of the previous suspicions.
When he posted the bomb detonator in the laboratory building, he pinched the white material into the image of the Peacemaker working with him, trying to make the other party happy, although the Peacemaker did not appreciate it.
Seeing aquatic creatures interacting with himself in the aquarium curtain wall, the Shark King is happy to run around like a child, although from the later plot we see that such creatures are not cute, and after being released, they attack the Shark King...
Shark King is truly a cute and pathetic, somewhat tragic anti-hero.
Equally pathetic and cute is Harley Quinn, the clown girl. In this movie, she is once again eye-catching: cold white skin, long red dress, beautiful and moving. A scene with the new king in the castle is filmed like a fairy tale, so beautiful that it can be cut off frame by frame as wallpaper.
However, we know that she is not a princess imprisoned in the castle, but a fugitive from madness. The prison break can be called the biggest highlight of the whole film, smooth movement shots, tense editing rhythm, personalized pop soundtrack, and spilled blood into colorful flying flowers, adding a childlike romantic color to this originally violent scene.
How can such a cool, sassy, crazy and cute clown girl not be loved?
Several important turning points in the film are set on the plot of the characters in the play to hurt the children.
It seems that the director is carrying bootlegs. Friends who follow the Marvel Universe Movie Information may know that the director of the roll has been involved in a political-related online war for speaking for his friend Mark Duplace. The rolling director was troubled by his lack of words about the right-wing conservative media.
Right-wing conservative Mike Senovich noticed him and broke screenshots of some inappropriate jokes about pedophilia, rape, sexual assault and other inappropriate jokes that Rolling Director posted on Twitter about 10 years ago, after which Rolling Director immediately deleted most of the previous tweets.
After this controversy, Disney decided to fire James Gunn.
Today, The Roller director has won a place in DC with "X Task Force 2", and the contract does not include an exclusive clause. Therefore, as long as Warner and DC give the rolling guide enough respect, space and freedom, he can fully release his talent here.
Although "X Task Force 2" is not enough to be called "a phenomenon of the DC Universe" movie, it must be a movie that DC needs very much at this stage, compared to the previous work, it is rebellious and uninhibited, through the impact of audio-visual stimulation of the audience's inner catharsis, release, is this summer, not to miss the cool film.
