“Captain America: New World” (Captain America: Brave New World) has been at the cash register for a week, but the internet met him surprisingly slowly. However, this was expected. The key to the 38th film in the summary of the Marvel film was the change of the main character Sam Wilson took the place of Steve Rogers. We went to see the tape expectations with zero, but she still managed to surprise us. We share our impressions in this article!
Pop-Kino, which continued
Proud and prejudice
We emphasize that the author of this text has no problem with the fact that actor Chrisistopher Evans has changed to Anthony Mackie. He proved, just like the late Chadwick Boseman, that he is able to exist organically in the Marvel Cinema. Both fit in with confidence in the roles assigned and supplemented the super hero honey profession well. Therefore, disputes on the internet about whether the Mocks will play the role of Cap: “We consider it unhealthy.
However, the plot of the new “captain” is built around these doubts. In such circumstances he places Sam Wilson as if this viewer does not consider him a captain of America. And here the screenwriters try to substantiate, prove, justify and somehow “work out this issue”, as if we were in the session of a psychotherapist.
It seems that the authors raise the issue of prejudices and stereotypes, show that it does not matter what appearance you are, who was in this place for you and how much you are consistent with the expectations of someone else. And although this is not immediately expressed, somewhere between the lines the subtext drias: “This is because I’m dark, right?”.
In our opinion no. This is because the screenwriters are typed according to the same criteria that move in the film. Captain America is like a soldier or at least an official among the American president. If it meets the requirements, this remains. According to criteria, the selection of candidates for such structures passes and some people a priori will not come with all their desire. Everything else is demagogy.
But the screenwriters push stubbornly the thought: “Everyone can be everyone.” This may be important to the Western public, but for us it remains an element of a trend diary. By the way, about her. The film carefully meets all diversity requirements. Looking at the actors, there is a feeling that casting specialists and make -up even take into account the color and splendor of the hair, the width of the nose and the eye cut.
Should Marvel take more risk in future films?
Safe play
I would like to say that the film was shot in the principle of “don’t touch someone’s feelings”, that every potentially sharp moment is smoothed and that we have the most verified product at the output. But Modern Hollywood works in such standards that it is simply impossible to shoot differently.
The makers were so scared to hurt someone’s feelings that they taken the image of liveliness and unpredictability. As a result, the plot develops tryaal: nothing will happen really important, the maximum statists and the masses will fall under the blow. In addition, exclusively by the villains – our heroes, regardless of what fantasy they try to cover them, are unable to strict measures.
Sam Wilson Saint Batman: No one kills, the maximum soft cuts or breaks the bone or two. At the same time, even a dozen trained hunters is not an equal – a classic superhero cliche. Yes, the heroes are injured, but always survive. Yes, there are conflicts between the heroes, but they do not reach the boiling point. Protagonists are smart and sensible exactly as much that they move the plot further.
Even the humor that is traditional for Marvel is practically absent, although you, although you caught yourself while you think a good gag could be placed in this scene, it is a funny way to play the situation, and this moment of the Film would not prevent a joke. But the tape remains serious and monophonic and noticeable the image of Sam Wilson himself. The makers seem to be afraid to give him the right to emotions: a smile, a non -standard decision, moments when a hero can relax. Steve Rogers rarely smiled? So you don’t do that.
Wilson’s doubts are at least understandable in himself – he has no super powers: no serums, mutations or improvements, only technologies and personal training. And he gets really damage, and not like a super soldier Rogers. Do you remember Tony Stark’s question about Steve? “A man in an iron suit. And to remove, who are you? “In this case the answer is:” Just a person. “
And finally, Sam Wilson is elevated to the status of Mary Sue. He enters the American president Taddeus Ross directly, performed by Harrison Ford, and he interrupts the meeting or expands everyone else. At the same time, Ross is not on the ceremony with ordinary subordinates. Such a contrast, instead of emphasizing the meaning of Wilson as a captain, only emphasizes its difference with his predecessor.
Safety against quality
If the film is not included in the category of one hundred percent hits (and this miracle did not even consider “Deadpool and Wolverine”), the studio does not risk. And “Captain America: New World” dripped the viewer in soft and sweet cotton wool. For comparison, the jokes in the “Deadpool” were brutal, but good, the characters were not shy in expressions, but knew the borders. The blood and the disintegration was present, but not for the sake of age – such scenes were professionally beaten, the viewer left the cinema satisfied.
Although Marvel holds the bar on the technical side. Visual quality worked “for all the money”, at the level of the same “deadpool”. With the possibility to compare both films in the same conditions of the IMAX post, we notice that each in their own way in visual terms is beautiful.
There are plenty of fights in the new world, and almost all are hand -handed. Warming up fighting is at a high level, the actors are convincingly demonstrating the physical power of their characters, their strokes are felt, the operator changes corners to add speakers. With destruction in the frame, however, there are problems – the scenes are visually powerful, but at the same time surprisingly “clean” and “neat”.
As expected, the most important scope falls on the last law. Here the audience is waiting for a large -scale air fight and the spectacular collision of the captain with a red hat. This segment is a real visual party: flying bullets, rockets maneuver, explosions are rattles, water verbal in splashes, special effects of the captain’s vibration costume are fully practiced. For the last third part of the film, they did not regret the money.
A well -known formula
But we will leave conceptual issues. Director Julius She (Julius Onah), previously noted by the work on the “Paradox of Cloverfield” (the Cloverfield Paradox), strengthened his status of a technical director and not an author with a visual board. However, he initially stated that he wanted to remove something new, but everyday, especially in comparison with the previous parts of the “First Avenger”. No sooner said than done.
The “New World” was built on the patterns of the “Winter Soldier” (Marvel’s Captain American: The Winter Soldier). The characters are the same archetypes: Ruth Bat-Seraff (Shira Haas) as a new black widow, the young Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) as beginner Falcon, President Tadeus Ross instead of Nick Fury. Even the structure of the story is similar: opening of action, meeting with leadership, abandoned underground, a large -scale last battle.
But with all the similarity, the scope is not the same. The winter soldier balanced between the espionage action film and the political thriller and pushed heroes with conspiracy agents from Hydra. Here is the most important villain-lone Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson (Tim Blake Nelson)). It is displayed as a Genius manipulator whose plans are folded like a Matryoshka one in the other. His revenge is carefully calculated for years, given all possible options for the development of events.
But the concept has been hacked. The screenwriters again use the subject of control over consciousness – now through audiovisual programming with smartphones. Another Zumerian horror story: “Fear your gadgets!”
The plot was built around the rise of an island from Adamandy, which becomes the subject of an international conflict. The president of Ross strives for diplomatic success, but consistently destroys his plans. Although Sam, Ruth and Hoacin quickly recognize manipulations, the confrontation leads to the fact that Ross turns into a red Holk and destroys the White House. At the same time, Sam’s personal drama develops, associated with the approval of the role of Captain America. As planned, the viewer Anthony Maki must accept in the image of a cap … But in practice, where is there.
If you have counted on an interesting scenario, forget. With much greater interest we would look at two hours of continuous action, where the red hulk is worn by Washington.
Should film strips influence serious social topics?
This is not the end!
Do you know what has changed the most? Atmosphere in the corridors. And this leads to thoughts about the future of the super hero genre. The point here is not in quality – technically speaking, the film is not inferior to the recent hit “Deadpool and Wolverine”. The image includes recognizable actors such as Giancarlo Esposito and Harrison Ford who can attract the viewer.
Marvel is scared – and was therefore stopping the viewer to surprise. The audience does not mind going to a Frank film strip, such as Deadpool and Wolverine, or a real iconic film that will be an event. While the ‘new world’ is a correct recording, but faceless film, made according to the manual. There is no phone call, no novelty, there is no real risk.
Have you succeeded in seeing the tape and what do you think of this? We are waiting for an opinion in the comments!
