A few days ago, Wu Yusen's remake of the new version of "The Hunt" finally released a trailer, which suddenly reminded the ape demon of Wu Dao, who once bravely broke into Hollywood.
However, several films made that year were not satisfactory.
But the ape demon has a "special love" for one of them.
Because, one of its male protagonists is an old friend of the Chinese people, John Travolta.
Unfamiliar name? But you must remember the gangster in "Pulp Fiction" who danced awkwardly with the heroine:
If you're a tumblr, you've seen this set of "Confused Travolta" spoofs:
(What about my money?) ）
(Who am I where I am?? ）
（"help me, obi-wan kenobi; you are my only hope!" ）
This meme is also from "Pulp Fiction", the original picture is like this: (Remember this plot?) ）
In fact, before becoming a meme that swept the world, Uncle Travolta was also a small fresh meat that "ate by the face":
(1978's "Grease" made the evil charm crazy him a hit, how many points do you give this wall bang?) ）
But what really brought Travolta into the field of vision of Chinese audiences were several Hollywood blockbusters since the late 1990s. I think back then, the ape demon squatted in front of the TV every Saturday and waited for CCTV6's "good film to have an appointment" (exposed age?). " Changing Faces " alone has been brushed no less than five times.
The two film emperors play, with the face-changing setting of Hunting Qi and the violent aesthetic of Wu Yusen - what is more refreshing than this!
But today's illustration is the first collaboration between Travolta and Wu Yusen before "Changing Faces" - "Broken Arrow".
(This illustration is seriously spoiler-proof, please think twice)
At the beginning of the film, it is the two male protagonists who are boxing.
The public face on the left is called [Hill] (played by Christian Slater), and the character of Travolta is called [Deakins]. So don't worry about face blindness, you just have to remember Travolta's face. (So recognizable, if you can't remember, you can only go out and turn left to hang up the ophthalmology.) ）
Deakins said: I hit you twice with a left hook punch, and you naturally think that the next punch is still a left hook punch, and then I want to give you a right hook punch - this is called strategy.
Sound east hit the west or something, repeatedly try not to be happy. Deakins managed to win the bet and take $20.
The two are really U.S. Air Force ace pilots, partnering on missions. It is not an ordinary aircraft, but a tall stealth fighter.
Wait, this is not a regular stealth fighter, but a stealth fighter loaded with two nuclear bombs.
Suddenly, a close-up of Bunny Sauce (oh no, Deakins) sharpened his eyes! Is the blackening so abrupt??? Fortunately, there is Travolta's divine acting skills to elevate the aura.
In the midst of the lightning stone fire, Deakins had already made a big fight against Hill, and the two were in disarray. In the confusion, Deakins hit a button, and...
Hill was just shot! go out! go! finish! (There should be bgm here: "It's flying like a feeling...) It's a feeling of freedom...")
After Deakins parachutes away with two nuclear bombs, he himself fled the cabin. The stealth plane crashed on the ridge. The search and rescue team arrived late only to find the nuclear bomb missing.
It turns out that "broken arrow" means "lost nuclear bomb", and the military term defined by the US military for the state of loss of nuclear weapons is topical here.
Hill, who was ejected from the cabin, had a hard time not dying (well, the protagonist, after all), and landed in Utah, a postcard-like landscape.
I also happened to meet the heroine, the park patrol. (Experience tells us that this is an exclusive benefit that only the positive protagonist has.) ）
Nearby, a search team sent by the army managed to find two nuclear bombs.
However, the title of "Broken Arrow" has been spoiled, and the role of nuclear bombs cannot be so small!
The search team had long hidden Deakins's men, and the squad was wiped out.
And Deakins himself? Of course, it is to escape unscathed, to walk with the wind, and actually have a bit of the style of Brother Tang in "Top Gun". (Instantly travel back to the small fresh meat period with Yuki-yori!) ）
Compare it to Brother Tang:
Deakins and his gang faked to the army the sudden situation of the bomb leaking electromagnetic radiation, so that no one would come to the rescue for an hour or two, enough time for them to run away with the bomb. (Too young, too simple, the flag flew up.) ）
Sure enough, although the army is in ruins, we still have the protagonist group.
Wu Yusen's signature explosion scene is the same as the "Hero Nature" of that year - still a familiar recipe, or a familiar taste.
In the midst of the explosion and chaos, the protagonist group grabs a jeep carrying a nuclear bomb. The Deakins gang was left far behind by them.
Don't ask whether this subject is unscientific, the protagonist aura was beyond the scope of scientific explanation eight hundred years ago.
The heroine has been in Utah for many years, knowing astronomy and geography. So I cleverly thought of a place that was particularly suitable for hiding nuclear bombs — abandoned copper mines.
At this time, the big brother of the male protagonist received a call from Deakins... It turned out that he had already stepped on this copper mine, and had already designated it as the tipping point of the nuclear bomb. (Until now, the villain's IQ has been ahead of the protagonist's.) ）
Pay attention to this sentence.
In fact, in many film and television works, the relationship between the protagonist and the villain is not clearly described in three words. You can say they are mortal enemies, you can say that they are the opposite of the same coin, and even this tit-for-tat confrontation has made their respective depths.
The best examples are the Joker and Batman in Batman: The Dark Knight.
It's far away again, or back to our protagonist, who has a hard IQ.
Hill thought he could lock the bomb by typing the wrong password three times (do you think it's an iPhone??? Unexpectedly, Deakins took a step forward than he thought, modified the chronograph device - entered the wrong password three times, and directly turned on the 30-minute detonation countdown.
At this point, the military finally figured out the truth of the matter. (This efficiency, take jujube pills.) ）
Deakins arrives at the copper mine, but talks to the protagonist before the bomb detonates.
"You ask me why I stole a nuclear bomb? For the money, of course. ”
Hill said, I know your arrogant antisocial personality too well.
"You're not for money, you're simply not used to other people being promoted, but you don't."
Enraged, Deakins leaves the copper mine with a nuclear bomb, blowing up the only exit, leaving the protagonist and the bomb about to detonate underground.
And the two saw Wu's explosion:
Therefore, the male protagonist who knew that his fate would soon be over, talked about his heart with the female protagonist.
What's wrong with talking at every turn??? Can't you learn from Zhang Yimou in "Old Well" and have fun in the well in time? (If you haven't seen it, please make up for it yourself.) ）
There are only 5 minutes left before the nuclear explosion.
Above ground, a nuclear bomb task force sent by the military caught up with Deakins and his gang. (Sorry, too late.)
Just then, a nuclear bomb exploded in the copper mine. In an instant, huge electromagnetic waves swept through Utah, and all electronic devices failed in an instant — including the control system of a helicopter.
Feel the nuclear explosion:
Feel the helicopter explode:
Feel the male and female protagonists of you and me:
No...... So what... Wait a minute......???
It took the male and female protagonists 5 minutes to escape from an underground river connected to copper mines, their feelings heated up faster than a nuclear explosion, and they happened to meet the villain group with a nuclear bomb ready to run away by the river, what kind of protagonist aura is this???
At this time, the White House received a threatening video of Deakins: (250 million invested in Volvo?) ）
The protagonist's group of soldiers is divided into two ways: the female protagonist tracks Deakins and the male protagonist returns to the military to move the rescue troops.
I have to say that this may be the only time that the male protagonist has been on the line of IQ in the whole film.
Remember the boxing at the beginning of the film? Deakins's most admired method of attacking the east and the west became a clue to betray his whereabouts. Before the copper mine nuclear bomb exploded, the male protagonist saw a card from Yancheng Hospital - this is Deakins's trick, in fact, his destination is not Yancheng, but Denver in the opposite direction.
The heroine has already boarded the train transporting the nuclear bomb with Deakins and his gang...
The heroine said: The protagonist's aura can definitely protect me ko this little minion and disarm the nuclear bomb.
naive！
The protagonist's aura only protects the male protagonist, not the female protagonist! effect! In Hollywood blockbusters that implement the fine tradition of male cancer, the aura of the female protagonist is the male protagonist, obediently waiting to be saved by the hero. (Think with your dick, just get used to it.) ）
"My crush is a hero of the world, and one day, he will ride the colorful clouds (helicopter) to marry (save) me..."
Even if the hero saves the beauty here, even if he successfully completes the task (all routines), the ape demon has not yet looked asleep, and has a new understanding of his willpower.
The angry Deakins was apparently barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and the nuclear bomb was set to detonate automatically in 5 minutes – this time not underground.
It's time for the exciting (all-routine) 1v1 showdown, right? Deakins, please start your show.
The $20 bet in the opening boxing match was again used as a bet on the final showdown.
The duel itself is the same fist-to-flesh fist as the beginning of the film.
The same move, the same person, after only one night, the situation is very different. Last time, Deakins said Hill lost because he "didn't have the will to win," and now he has.
There is no suspense in winning or losing.
At the last second of the countdown, Hill turned the tide and disarmed the bomb. (The old terrier of "last minute rescue" is really enduring...) ）
The ape demon didn't understand why the nuclear bomb was still flying out when it was lifted. In short, Deakins's eyes sharpened for the last time, the degree of blackening had long been 100% there was no turning back, and the extreme personality eventually buried his life.
Or the familiar $20, echoing back and forth, with a feeling that everything has long been predestined.
The protagonist - no matter how many flags can be survived, no matter how much IQ is in arrears, he can hold the beauty.
"Broken Arrow" is a collection of Hollywood blockbuster routines, and john Travolta's portrayal of the villain is probably the only highlight of the film. The explosion scene that makes people overwhelmed, watching more will also be aesthetic fatigue. The villain who is shrewd and calculating in the early stage, but in the later stage, he can't get a male protagonist with a hard IQ.
The only explanation that came to the ape's mind was: because he was the protagonist!
