When the American comic hero was first born, the feeling was basically parallel to the rise of the martial arts culture in the east, remembering that it was during World War II that the first edition of "Captain America" was filmed in the 40 's, and itself was close to the intent and philosophy of our martial arts story: Punishing evil, implies, and so on, even to the present In The Revenant Alliance series, even if the stage of space-time change, how much can still be seen in the bones involved in this ancient topic.
Hollywood after the 70 's, accompanied by rapid advances in shooting technology, comic adaptation films prevailed in the 80, 90 is a wave of peaks. Similarly, our martial arts movies, TV dramas are basically so, if it is worth doing a comparison is not unfounded.
But the comic popular in the film is not from this craze to come, but accumulated a long time before the outbreak. According to past Hollywood film production methods, Spider-Man, Magic Four, X-Men, Hulk and so on are outsourced to the major film and television companies to make separate films.
In the 80 and 90, these films had some scenery, word of mouth and box office ups and downs, while the most popular Spider-Man, X-Men is to the Colombian and 20th century Fox to create benefits of the project, Weihua itself only 10% of the profits. Until the 2008, the great manufacturers of Disney mergers and acquisitions, with the film and television giants of funds and distribution channels support, and finally began to look for more outstanding new ideas to attract the continued attention of fans, which has the so-called "diffuse universe" of the grand plan. From the 2008 "Iron Man", tossing for ten years, to today's "Avengers 4" painting the next stage of the end. Although most of it is popcorn, it has tried to be attractive and playful in the product, and they are by no means a matter of Hollywood's money to cram into some streaming concepts, although there are indeed a number of failed experiences, such as "Iron Man 2, 3" "Thor" series is not really a success.
The first birth of "The Avengers" in the Legend of the "End of the World" 2012, before the hero Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, the Hulk laid the groundwork for more than 4 years, rubbing a hot topic, this wave of heroes came out to save the world, will be their own relatively independent story "space" on the big screen completely opened,
Seemingly uncomplicated things, actually done but carefully planned, brewing for a long time, because after a series of "the United States 2" "The United States 3" gathered more and more people and events, not completely like the past superhero movies, the main protagonist. The wafer film is well aware of the trend of audience appreciation for taste since 21st century, as well as the relationship between superheroes and the real world and ordinary people. In fact, the subject matter and type does not determine what kind of story to sell or win word of mouth, although the Weihua film under the leadership of Disney's Carnival company, it is impossible to dig the true character depth like Nolan's transformation of "Batman", but do not prevent some changes, in this context, "the United States 3"
At that time, even a fairly good proof, but also further established in the story of the end of the "re-linked 3" and "Forte 4", how the United States team can really become the core of the alliance, leading more heroes to defeat their strongest enemy anti-bully. It was set for this, from "Forte 1" to "Forte 2," including later "the Double 3 and 4" ... The superheroes thought that saving the world, but also created and brought unprecedented disaster, this is a pair of sharp contradictions. At the same time also includes the contradiction between heroes and mortals, in addition to individual alien stars, most of them still from the mortal to the extraordinary ability of the super-capable, in the face of other people's questions, the heroic group has produced further contradictions.
The characters themselves have their own troubles and problems, and they are not perfect. Captain America is not as imaginary as the scenery, these heroes life is not a good thing: Iron Man parents were killed, in order to be a hero, even his girlfriend can not stand to leave him; the United States, although not unlike Tony inherited a large legacy, but other aspects of the encounter is roughly the same, he is also an orphan;
The King's father died in a terrorist explosion, back home also faced the crisis of betrayal and inheritance; Winter Soldier Baba, not to mention, living people are not like ghosts; the Hulk and the Black Widow dozen are seen as monsters; the Galactic Guard and Ant Man are losers in reality, and the real side of Parker, the most popular little spider, is just as unlucky to get home ... In other words, they all have a dramatic need for the "hero" side, but also as ordinary people incomplete side, this and we used to look at martial arts novels, the so-called home misfortune, drifting rivers and lakes, experience misery, and then academic revenge, and finally become the warrior of benevolence ... There is also not much difference in the direction of the story.
The real world, whether in the east or the West, is certainly not perfect, as the characters in the story should be how to face such an imperfect reality? Can those "certain man" continue to be brave in all kinds of encounters? Throughout the story of the decade, Iron Man Tony has largely been a troublemaker, starting with the release of his identity as a challenge, "Iron Man 3" is his opponent, "Forte 2" is also he made the creation, "the United States 3" is he led the expression to sign a deal to create infighting ... The image of Iron Man, though, is that he can correct his mistakes with a positive attitude to life, which is the key to his brilliance and recognition, and the reason why he can be one of the core of the league, equivalent to one side of the coin.
And the other side of the coin is Captain America, who believes in personal qualities that may not be easy to understand, reflecting just the best of the "main melody" of the wafer film. Just as the contradiction between the United States and Iron Man in front of us, the question of signing an agreement to accept supervision by a third party is not simply freedom, and their argument seems to be that no one is right or wrong.
In fact, the whole Segway film is certainly inclined, the US team's views are ultimately more recognizable, but our cultural background is not easy to understand. Captain America is an individual, more traditional or old-school hero, not to mention that he himself came from the 40 's. His story is the individualism that has always been touted and promoted, just as the American spirit points to an independent individual, based on the autonomous rights of every ordinary person, is an individual of legal and spiritual significance, and the captain of the United States is the representative of that spirit. The US team believes in this sense of human nature and conscience, he defended the winter soldiers to put it bluntly that he firmly believes in the character of the people. On the contrary, the US team does not believe in departmental institutions, they are often built on the interests of interest orientation, easy to be used units.
Apparently he was not against Tony himself, but against what Tony called a compromise to adapt to the times. In almost seven or eight of American films, especially cop movies, action films and commercial entertainment films, the personal respect and importance of this protagonist is far greater than that of a symbolic unit of division or organization, which is derived from the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, which is what they define as the original meaning of superheroes, Instead of a tough guy who can usually play, it's called a hero. Heroism in American cinema is such a portrayal of the population, and not all of the performance of this theme to fight, such as Alpassino award-winning "Smell the Woman", the final speech is a transmission of the theme of the narrative, the same very powerful.
For the conflict between individual choice and organization, the contradiction between sentiment and law is a kind of dramatic manifestation. Therefore, from the beginning, to the rift between the groups, their self-reflection, in order to maintain peace and tranquillity but everywhere to create a Battlefield Avengers, insinuating into a group of great trouble and crisis, from the audience acceptance level, but also closer to the current international reality of the background, it is in the previous "US team 3" cracks in the crisis, Another two "galactic guards" led to the enemy from the universe to extinguish the bully.
The image of the anti-bully does not have profound significance, but in order to say goodbye to the party, ten years of grinding a war, anti-bully for theatrical conflict, at least in the sensational effect, play a number of instrumental role.
His father-daughter love shaping is relatively shallow and unreasonable, far from being the hero Terminator's identity persuasive. On the big background, "Forte 3 and 4" officially launched the anti-bully still in line with the image established over the years of comics, tall, the appearance of although seemingly cartoon, in fact Invincible, with the power of the Cosmic Cube, with gloves to collect a variety of gems, so that almost all the people of the world, including the team he brought out
Such as Camara and nebulae. If only in order to love each other, obviously will deviate from the direction of the film, because they can be established as superheroes is to uncover their face of severe psychological burden and even traumatic memory attitude, which is the purpose of the re-link in the creation of a phased outcome in 10 years. Such as the anti-bully is actually like a "fatalism", is for the universe can better develop and iniquity, he savagely destroyed some planets, some life, but for the rest of the universe and life to continue smoothly ...
This kind of resources ah, space ah argument in human history is there some familiar? Therefore, the birth of superheroes is originally rooted in a kind of objective era of setting, the enemy of confrontation is the same, so can form the chivalrous spirit that we can accept close to the Oriental culture, but also we will translate for the reason of a certain warrior. From the World War II background of "The American team 1" to "the strongest enemy of the United 3 and 4" from the Universe, this Hollywood film, which wraps the core of the martial arts film, can be said to reach a new level.
The idea of "the Universe" is not original in the cultural context of the United States, if the elegant of literature and art, such as the trace of the source of Western culture-Greek mythology, the comic comics in the appropriate time to mix the strengths of the two (such as Thor's story comes from similar Nordic myths), Create a group of stories and characters.
And in our martial arts novels, there have been similar shaping, such as movie's Datang series, song Yuan series and Ming and Qing series are also relatively continuous penetration of the martial arts world, but also each has interspersed and origin. Looking back on the success of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, the Chinese film and cultural community has also triggered a variety of martial arts film to the international discussion, but also many people think that "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" is not how good martial arts film (perhaps so to trigger the later Zhang Yimou and other big names to shoot antique martial arts wave). This is true in the context of Chinese culture, which is not simply a battle between good and bad.
Today, the theme of wafer film transformation and entertainment performance, more can look back at the Chinese martial arts story why decline. Even superheroes are widely popular with fans all over the world, and there are cases of success and failure along the way. Now the success of the "Avengers Alliance" lies in the story has a richer practical significance, straight into the inner world of the characters, which is easy to say, but if the Chinese martial arts story under the Oriental culture is very difficult to spread and promote smoothly, the tradition of Oriental culture is the family's national conditions vendetta, Characters, if they are in the context of the real era must be subject to a number of qualified background to feel magnificent, which is contrary to the direction of the west to tell this kind of story. The West focuses on individuals of universal significance, and our traditional culture used to have various dogmas of self-cultivation, but it is still the network that helps individuals to establish moral and ethical relations, and does not cater to the fashionable concept under modern society, so traditional culture and modern society have a chainsaw and game for thousands of years.
And our current martial arts or Kung fu films either continue to remake the old IP, or transform the more fanciful world, not closer to today's society, but farther away.
In addition to the introduction of so-called male and female love and Family feud, basically deliberately avoid the real world, so it is difficult to put people in the film infected, more difficult to arouse the relevant thinking and aftertaste. For years, only Hollywood has made films for audiences around the world, and of course, because the American people have come from all over the world, they have more or less taken into account the different elements of local cultures, even if they sometimes read them incorrectly. Even these years have been dedicated to creating some "special editions" for China's huge market, and will be taunted by many domestic audiences. I believe that the Chinese market has indeed had a considerable amount of consideration, they are at least trying to eliminate the cultural divide, look at ourselves? This gap is not necessarily a matter of capital strength, the root cause is the problem of cultural and ideological differences, we are also deliberately wary of cultural security, because the cultural values exported by American films may not always be fully accepted, this debate has hardly stopped in China,
But how can we really reflect on how Chinese culture should deal with the obstacles to international communication at the moment? Ten years of the road to the film, through the Grand Market development plan, and constantly adjust the setting of the story, such as the Double link 3 and 4 firmly poured into the "hero exit" sensational approach, rather than the vigorous final battle, obviously this is carefully paved with a "for the Farewell of the party."
They created a new model for Hollywood commercial films, and although they can't say anything about the art of being tall, they can't say it's not art at all. He inherited Hollywood's best side, and even built on it, and they took the red and unearthed a pop star not to say, even if the director behind the scenes was the creator. In the future, most of the audience will be overflowing with these superheroes and aesthetic fatigue, but the Hollywood tradition is to keep pace with the times, the decades of career, career ups and downs are normal phenomenon, as long as the tradition, I believe that we can break through the barriers, and then make a new trend-making blockbuster film.
