Oh, then, you are taking the easy stride, talking about morals and supposeddly "good guys". You know, I could be discussing this at the Millar forum, which trust me, is a bit embarrasing for myself just to open and look at the posts... and I have a very honest affection for this site which does not honor a person nor was created just to discuss when and where do we have the next beer, but rather in the name of a concept, which whatever it means for each of us, it definitely has to do with our human quality, or call it values, or even our potential for evolution, trends very much discussed here around Barbelith... in contrast to a rather poor attention to most action movies, which also have their corresponding place here.
And yes, we all come here right out of a comic book, just as this movie also does, and incidentally the corresponding author happens to coincide in both books at this point in time. So I do think this movie has gathered and still deserves a little bit more of attention than the last Jean Claude Van Damme flick, or Blade 5, with an emphasis in what has gone apparently undigested, and myself, at least for one or two voices, saying that no, this is not the type of comic book film I'd like to see, now or in the future, since there are too many trends that definitely fail to represent anything that has to do with the heroic genre, nor even with human values.
I mean, the film could have been perfectly fun and entertaining while at the same time hold true to its original inception, just as many action films are funny and entertaing, but I sort of regret that it decidedly fails to hold to the human values I hold and actually work for, and worse, that it escapes most of the teen-adult audience it is targeted to, since now human values appear to be okay with saving "humanity" and also lamelessly abandoning people to die. And unless you tell me this was a black humour movie, then just explain me how fun it is to show your tongue to a man tied to a wall that is about to die. For me, that was taken right out of a propagandistic easy-kill/easy-live prisoner camp mind-environment at a time in which still too many parallel notions are predating the international atmosphere, and worse, from a character that decidedly does not match its original inception.
And I do not have conflicting notions over the movie, oh no, and I will say it clearer then that I am decidedly sick of finding this "I was mind-washed" thing in movies, rather than "I have shit in my mind which I have to really wipe and reorganise, because I can't attempt to kill presidents while I want to save the specie at the same time, since I've just realised there must be better, finer ways than stabbing", but of course, that was really too difficult because nobody involved in the making could figure out any of the "better, finer ways".
The shit that is being delivered for your delight and munching in this movie is just as translatable to international affairs deciding on the well fare of many in which saying at some point "ooops, we are sorry, we were really acting right out of a delusional system we can't control, in fact, we are as good as a babies" will seemingly be much more excusable than actually going "we were wrong, we were plain wrong, and now we'll work to ammend our minds and then the world". And I mean international affairs just as I could have meant any context that is already working like this or towards it.
That said, I won't add much then on the shitty drug-mind-control trend. Some will start wondering why they don't have marks in their napes. Others will maybe realise that drugs are not really needed to make "murder" go unnoticed. In any scale.
I work for a better, finer world. This movie doesn't. |
