On November 8, an online movie called "The Rescue" was launched on Youku. This film stars the well-known martial arts star Tony Jaa. The story tells the story of the hero helping his wife and daughter to seek revenge. The story itself is very similar to the Hong Kong Young and Dangerous movie, but the film is set in Southeast Asia. Obviously, the value of Southeast Asia to Chinese movies is very similar to that of Mexico to Hollywood - they are both places that carry gangster themes.
Obviously, Hong Kong no longer has the basic conditions for Young and Dangerous movies. Many fighting movies can only set the story background in the "Kowloon Walled City" period. Because of this, Southeast Asia has become the new location for the Young and Dangerous theme in Chinese movies. In this area, not only are gangs rampant, but there is also a nest of snakes and rats, not even good ones. This provides a broad space for the narrative of Young and Dangerous movies.
In the film, the hero's wife works in a logistics company and discovers that this company is actually helping drug lords transport drugs. Just when the wife was about to resign and return to China, the drug lord gang took action and shot the man, his wife and daughter to death. Next, the male protagonist started the revenge mode. In "The Rescue", Tony Jia is like a monster with nuclear power and , fighting violently from beginning to end. These fights are not inferior to the Hong Kong young and Dangerous martial arts movies of the year. However, "The Rescue" is just an online movie. There is no market for Hong Kong films, and this is evident here - online films have completely taken over the market.
In this film, the male protagonist needs to fight layer by layer until he can find the real drug lord in the end. This layer-by-layer model also ensures the storytelling of this movie. In the film, the most exciting fights should be two. The first content is street fighting, or more than a dozen in a small space. This is also what Hong Kong Young and Dangerous movies are best at. This advantage has been inherited in online movies.
The second content is that the female villains in the film are very capable of fighting. In recent years, online movies have come up with a new point of view, which is to make female characters become fighters, thereby presenting the so-called female violence aesthetics. In "The Rescue", the female villain's fighting ability is very powerful, and she can almost compete with the male protagonist. Therefore, after the male and female protagonists fight together, movie fans should not think how the male protagonist can beat a woman, right?
Because it is a violent fighting mode, when the characters are created in this film, most of them have a hot temper, or a hound temper, which can be set on fire without starting a fire. This kind of temper exists in many characters in the film, and even the female villains have this kind of temper. In terms of character creation, the film has little ability, and most of the characters exist only for fighting. There is no problem in saying that this movie is a fighting movie. After all, in the movie, the one with the gun cannot defeat the one with fists. If this is not God, what kind of God is it?
If the film does not have more demand for martial arts movies, then this model of nuclear-powered men fighting throughout the whole process, fighting hundreds of people at a time, will definitely satisfy everyone's movie-watching needs. Perhaps, this movie is aimed at some male movie fans who like to compete in martial arts. There are still people who believe in fist violence. If fans have other quality demands beyond fist-pumping violence, sorry, this film can't provide it.
"The Rescue" is a typical individual heroic fighting film. It follows the model of Hong Kong Young and Dangerous movies. In a troubled world, you fight everything with your fists, achieve revenge, reveal the truth, etc. The entire story of the film is not new, and the model of fighting drug lords is also a story that has been told poorly in previous movies. Good actors, good fighting, and a bad script with no characteristics. This is a common problem with current online movies. There is no way, no one is willing to create a script that no one else has, and everyone is willing to learn from and plagiarize each other.
