The emergence of "Iron Man" in 2008 marked the beginning of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" and fired the first shot of Marvel's occupation of the film market. After ten years of steady development of
, ​​many Marvel superheroes have been put on the movie screen, and there are even their own personal movies.
, ​​as the DC of the same "American Man", sits on the two super popular IPs of "Superman" and "Batman", so naturally they will not be willing to watch their opponents get mixed up.
However, various changes have caused the "DC Expansion Universe" to remain inferior: not only is the efficiency of
on the screen much lower than that of the opponent, the lack of clear shooting plan also affects how the film establishes its own style. Sway around on the issue.
interprets this problem to the extreme. Uncle Shi thinks it is the "Suicide Squad" released in 2016.
Before filming "Suicide Squad", director and screenwriter David Meyer gained reputation and box office success with "Warning End" and "Furious", two films also written and directed by him.
is here in "Suicide Squad". The director who directed the DC film for the first time has encountered constant disturbances behind the scenes. The final global box office score of the
film reached more than 740 million. The performance was fair, but it could not save its loss in word of mouth.
even the domestic audience, who has always been very tolerant of movies, scored 6.4 on Douban for the movie. Some netizens even criticized the film under the title "It's so bad and so otherworldly," making it one of the lowest-scoring comics.
is the so-called "the East is not bright, the West is bright", after the "Suicide Squad" in 2018, DC launched a "Suicide Squad" to prove its strength.
This is the animated film "Suicide Squad: Severe Punishment", directed by the Chinese-American director Liu Sam.
started from the 2004 cartoon "New Batman Season One". He has been in the position of director of DC animation film for 15 years. The word-of-mouth failure of
"Suicide Squad" did not affect director Liu Sam's performance in "Suicide Squad: Severe Punishment".
According to the summary of DC fans, there are 23 villain heroes in the film, including the Easter eggs. Even the famous Batman has become Bruce Wayne’s father Thomas Wayne because of the changes in the timeline. A vengeful knight incarnation.
Don’t see that there are many people in the scene, but the film is not like 2017's "Justice League", it has become a "live-action show." The director of
Liu Sam put the main focus on the "death shooter", that is, the role played by Will Smith in "Suicide Squad".
The protagonist and the supporting role are clearly distinguished, and it is the existence of these villain heroes that makes the film an anti-hero type movie-because everyone is the villain hero in the comics. The first action of the
suicide squad at the beginning is a "warm-up" for the whole movie. At this time, the members of the suicide squad were the male and female robbers, Earl of Vertigo, Bonche and Julie. What they wanted to capture was the information from the black mask gang second gang leader Black Whale.
Although the black whale has a burly physique, it took over by a sneak attack and defeated Dr. Vertigo and shot dead one after another.
was hard to beat with two punches and four hands. Under the front and back of Dr. Vertigo and Bunch, he shot himself to death.
When
successfully obtained the information, Dr. Vertigo revealed his true face. It turned out that he had colluded with Julie and wanted to get rid of Waller's control with the information. After Bunche was killed by the two of them,
shot a deadly shot and was rescued by Waller, who was manipulating everything from a distance.
And she just pressed a button, and Dr. Vertigo's head was exploded by the nanobomb. This is the horror of Waller: every member of the suicide squad will become benevolent if they fail. The existence of the nanobomb forces suicide. The team "willingly" work for it. The first action of
was considered a success. Of course, the team members were all finished except for dead shots, but Waller still had enough manpower to deploy.
includes the very popular Harley Quinn, as well as the old suicide team member boomerang captain, the weird-looking bronze snake, and the Kung Fu master bronze tiger. On top of this, a frost killer who can freeze everything that exists at any time is added. . The strength of the new team
is even stronger than the previous team.
So far, the main plot of the movie has surfaced: a black card with the words "free from hell". The
black card was originally kept by Dr. Fate, and it seems that there is nothing special about it. Due to the negligence of Dr. Fate, the black card appeared on the market and its role was revealed. The only problem with
is that no one can prove whether the one-time function of the black card is really true.
After all, everyone has only one life.
So after inquiring about the whereabouts and functions of the black card from Dr. Destiny, the members of the suicide squad rolled their eyes in unison.
As a heinous villain, the members of the suicide team even sneered at the existence of hell.
The clown girl said, "Anyone who can stand a clown deserves to go to heaven", which further proves that everyone is dismissive of Heika.
people who compete for the black card, why would they still rush to it because of this unverifiable legend?
This is where the live-action movie is far less than this animated movie: the exploration of death. The
film explores how terrible death is for people by fighting for the three black cards.
The Flash’s dead teammate, Reverse Lightning, wants to fight for the black card for no other reason. In "Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox," he was shot headshot by Thomas Wayne’s Batman. Immediately before his death,
created a supernatural power clone and came to the world where the film is located, but the impact of death has already cost him a painful price:
his proud speed no longer exists.
And with the continuous use of acceleration, the life of reverse lightning also increases.
is like he said, "It feels like acting in a thick fog, everything becomes illusory and abnormal. Sometimes I feel like I am wading through the water. When I speed up, I can feel the passing of life."
The threat of death forces him to find a black card to have a chance to get rid of the death chasing him. This sense of urgency supports all the actions of Reverse Lightning throughout the film.
Even if the reverse lightning runs fast, there are more opportunities to explore time and space and extend life.
No matter how fast he runs, the god of death will follow him like a shadow, and the pain when life goes by is a real warning to him: death will come at any time.
Compared with the reverse lightning that death often accompanies the body, Savage, the ape man who has experienced 50,000 years, logically speaking, his desire for black cards is far less urgent.
In fifty thousand years,He has witnessed all civilizations of mankind, and he has also become a ruler such as Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan.
has a long life with success and a long life with failure. Savage's fear of death is no less than that of any ordinary person.
When facing the suicide squad, he said: "I'm afraid no one can live forever."
For fifty thousand years, human civilization has risen to a very high level, and the threat of death to Savage has increased day by day. The long life of
brought him great achievements, and it also allowed Savage to see his enemies, and it was easier and easier to drive him to death.
The more you live, the more you are afraid of death, which is probably where Savage is.
So as long as he can hold the black card in his hand, it will be the best spiritual comfort for Savage.
The most secretive and most vivid expression of the fear of death and the desire for life is undoubtedly Waller, the remote controller behind the suicide squad.
In the 2014 DC Comics movie "Batman: Assault Arkham", Waller looked like a fat old woman.
arrived in "Suicide Squad: Severe Punishment", she became a lean woman, but what has changed is the need for medical examination.
, ​​the female master who manipulates the entire suicide squad, understands her insignificance and helplessness in the face of death. This has also become her motivation to continuously instruct the suicide squad to win the black card for it.
Whenever the suicide squad is frustrated, she becomes irritable, weak, and sad.
even tried to solve the Frost Killer who took the black card and betrayed her, Waller did not hesitate to detonate the nano bomb in the copper-headed snake, just because this is the best time to kill the Frost Killer.
all kinds of emotional manifestations, and from time to time press the detonation button as a threat.
This is incompatible with Waller's identity as the master behind the scenes, and it just shows her weakness in the face of death.
The old saying goes well, "If you intentionally plant flowers but do not bloom, unintentionally insert willows and willows into shade", this sentence is very suitable for the film's dramatic plot.
finally held the black card tightly in his hand, but it was the suicide team who had no desire for the black card.
is running fast against lightning, Savage, who has lived for a long time, and Waller, who controls everything, has never been able to firmly hold the black card in his hand. The
black card gained and lost in their hands has undoubtedly become the biggest irony of the film.
digs deep into the heavy theme of death, with numerous villain heroes appearing on the scene, coupled with the weight of action and science fiction, it is rare that the film can achieve such a balance in all aspects.
is able to do this, "Suicide Squad: Severe Punishment" on the website of Rotten Tomatoes, received 88% fresh praise from the media.
believes that it is the film's ability to control multiple content that has played a significant role. Some netizens on
Douban also expressed their appreciation for the film with "this cartoon completes the salvation of the 2016 live-action "Suicide Squad"".
And the animation adopts the R-rated movie performance method, which is more open to vent than live-action movies.
Some people might speculate whether this is a kind of remedy for DC, which is not entirely true in Uncle Shi's view.
For true DC fans, DC produces its own animated films every year, which is a routine operation.
According to the latest news, DC is obviously not satisfied with this state of "the East is not bright, the West is bright".
's new work in 2019, "Joker", has received a wave of praise at the 76th Venice Film Festival. It is said to be an epoch-making movie, and it is very likely to be the best comic book this year.
currently has a rating of 9.2 on Douban; at the same time, it has confidence in the quality of the film and is even more daring to choose to be released in the United States in October to hit the Oscars. After
, ​​the "Birds of Prey" released in 2020, also invited the director of the "Quick Chase" series, and added fighting scenes around Harley Quinn. These news of
undoubtedly hint that the next wave of DC's main offensive will become stronger.
hope not to let DC fans down, it is not easy to survive in a group of Marvel fans.
This is a DC fan on Douban looking forward to the unreleased "Joker" from the heart.
Uncle Shi is not a DC fan, but he still wishes DC can achieve the "two blossoms" of real-life and animated films.
