"Film Critic" is a smooth, exciting and in-depth DC masterpiece: "Wonder Woman"

Seeing the polarized reviews of the first few DCEU movies, "Suicide Squad" and "BVS" are full of negative reviews, and there is no shortage of those "DC movies are rubbish" reviews, so I am a little worried about "Wonder Woman" and The first two movies have the same fate and worry about the prospects of DC movies. However, after watching "Wonder Woman", in addition to not being disappointed with the level of the movie, I also saw the hope of DC movies. If you DCEU If the feelings of the movie are all negative, then "Wonder Woman" will definitely make you look different.

"Wonder Woman" is not filled with a lot of philosophical discussion like "BVS", it does not add too many comic elements that make the audience overwhelmed or unable to understand, nor does it make the audience feel too serious, dark and heavy. The plot of the movie has become more smooth and complete, but like the previous DC movies, the movie shows various changes in the hero’s heart and personality. It also has a certain discussion on human nature. Wonder Woman can be said to be the same as Superman. An extraordinary hero with god-like power but full of humanity.

Although the movie is a movie focused on the rise and growth of heroes, the movie is presented to the audience in a "simplified" way for the background of Wonder Woman, so although it is a two-hour movie, it doesn’t need to be too much. I’ve been worried about describing too much of the hero’s background, but you can understand it regardless of whether you know the original manga or not. Compared with the previous two DCEU movies, this one is indeed a bit more popular, and the fighting scenes are quite moderate, especially The action scenes plus back music is simply a double enjoyment of sight and hearing. The movie has lost the previous dark style pictures, and changed to more bright and colorful, but the characteristics of DC still exist, and you will see the depth in the coolness.

Humanity and inner characterization

I always think that DC movies do better than Marvel, that is, DC's characterization and thought changes of the characters are more detailed. Wonder Woman Diana's initial thoughts are very simple, especially her views on human nature. She initially felt Human nature is kind. The emergence of evil and war is only due to the confusion of the God of War, but when she walks into the human world, she finds the complexity of human nature. Even if the villain and the God of War are eliminated, mankind will still bring the world into war. The evil of is always there. Feeling the complexity of humans also makes Diana's heart no longer simple. She changes her heart step by step due to the environment. In the same way, she has become more mature from her wayward personality, and she also understands Heroes can change the world, but they can never change humanity. The contents of "God's humanity and heart" have actually been brought out in past DC movies. Some people have said that "Marvel describes the story of man becoming a god, while DC shows "Humanity in God", this sentence fully expresses the difference and characteristics of the film between DC and Marvel.

Except for the protagonist Diana, the portrayal of the other supporting roles is also very good, especially the most important supporting actor Sting. He has taken on the important task of bringing God into the world. Several important supporting roles in the film will not face it, and the roles are uneven. The problem of insufficient description, even after the movie is over, the audience will still not forget its image. One of the characters in the movie that impressed me the most was the sharpshooter who called himself a perfect shot, because he even got the trigger at the critical moment. He couldn't buckle, and many people made fun of his incompetence, and even thought that this role was meaningless, but he had experienced the torture of war, his hands were stained with blood, and his original companions were also buried in the merciless war. Among them, there is no way to shoot because he has been destroyed by the war, and the anti-war meaning can also be seen in the performance of the character.

Female heroes and female directors, or someone might ask, is "Wonder Woman" a film promoting feminism? Absolutely not. The film did reflect the injustice of the society to women during World War I, and the status of women was not as good as that of men. But compared to women’s rights, the films showed more humanity and equality. The films did not portray men as evil. Women are also not regarded as complete victims. Both female and male roles in the film have important performances. The male and female roles have their own strengths. The film also reflects the victims of the war. It is not only the weak women and children who bear all the The seemingly brave male fighters who go to the battlefield are also victims and victims of the war. Both men and women are equally human, and they will also have imperfect, evil and ugly sides. Anyone will become a villain. This film highlights equality and humanity, rather than a single feminist power.

I saw comments on the Internet pointing out that the success of "Wonder Woman" was only because the previous DCEU movies were too unbearable. I absolutely disagree with this point. The standards of the past few DC movies except "Suicide Squad" are indeed very poor. Unexpectedly, I think the other two films such as "BVS" and "MOS" are qualified works, rather than being criticized by the outside world. Some people say that "Wonder Woman" is attracted by abandoning the dark and heavy style of the past. It took the public to make the work particularly popular. "Wonder Woman" is indeed a relatively bright work, but I believe that the dark style will inevitably be used in DC movies in the future, such as "Batman" and "Justice League Dark". If you don’t follow the dark style, I’m afraid the work will be ruined. I hope that in the future, DC movies will not only use a single style, but also make appropriate adjustments due to the characters and background of the movie. "Thor3" adapted from "Twilight", the trailer seems to be full of comedy. I don’t hate comedy, but the original work of "Twilight of the Gods" is a serious and tragic style work, but Marvel shot it so low-powered. Simply ruined the original work.
