In the huge theater, the lights on the ceiling went out neatly and uniformly, and there seemed to be light on the wide IMAX screen, but it was dark again, and it was so dense that it was difficult to distinguish whether the picture was black or the reality was so dark.

Suddenly, there was a soundtrack!

This sudden sound of music is dominated by orchestral music, supplemented by the deep violin sound. With the compact melody laid out by the orchestral music, the screen picture slowly drifts through bursts of black fog, which permeates every inch of space, as if there is nowhere. The absence, coupled with the timely appearance of the cold piano tone, gives people a breathless sense of oppression!

At this time, the opening of the 20th Century Fox was lit up. This opening was different from all the previous 20th Century Fox openings. Not only did the picture become black and white, it also reflected a cold feeling. Stanton appeared behind. The mark of the studio, this feeling is even worse!

"Oh, this is the feeling of Murphy's movie!"

Edmund Princeton couldn't help but exclaimed, "Murphy is obviously back to his style!"

There was no credit, no wordy, two short credits flashed by, and two lights, one blue and one red, lit up in the black fog on the screen, galloping from a distance, getting closer and closer, and quickly turned into a police car. .

At the same moment the police car appeared, the voice of the walkie-talkie rang.

"This is the New York State Police..., we are already close to the location of the incident!"

The police car turned abruptly and turned into an asphalt mixing plant, and then more police cars appeared.

Patrols, plainclothes, SWAT, there were hundreds of policemen gathered here, and the scene finally stopped on the body of Sergeant Lynch played by Christopher Waltz who got off the police car.

The film explains the reason why the police are gathered here in the most concise way.

A group of crazy gangsters hijacked a pair of rich father and son from Long Island, and carried them to this temporary asphalt mixing plant for road construction, and then they were surrounded by the police in a mixing workshop.

The police quickly formulated an action plan and launched a rescue operation. The camera always followed the scene from the perspective of Inspector Lynch. He followed the SWAT team and entered the mixing workshop.

There was a fierce exchange of fire between the police and the robbers. Several gangsters were killed one by one and the father was rescued. But the last gangster hijacked his son and walked into a huge asphalt melting pool. The police action was forced to stop.

"Aren't you asking for money?" Father stood in the police circle and shouted, "I can give you everything, as long as you don't hurt him!"

The culprit stopped the little boy's neck with one hand, and pointed the gun at his forehead with the other hand, without saying a word.

"Please let my son go!" the father shouted again, "I can exchange with him!"

The two sides saw each other for a while, and after the police stopped it ineffective, the father walked over by himself and replaced his son.

Just after the little boy got down, there was a gunshot from the police. The culprit was shot in the leg, but before he fell, he pushed his father into the melting pool of pitch that was emitting an unpleasant smell.

"father……"

The piercing voice sounded.

The picture suddenly turned black, and when it turned on again, a strong man woke up from his sleep, and the door was knocked from outside, "Chris Dan, it's time for training."

The outside world is gloomy. Chris Dan received the most rigorous training in the ice and snow. The role of Liam Neeson also appeared in the night training. He is the godfather of Chris Dan.

"No matter what your purpose is, Chris Dan, you have lost your way!"

In the evening training, Chris Dann was timid and weak, and had a deep fear of darkness and blackness.

The screen flashed back. Inspector Lynch put a coat on the little boy and gave it to his colleagues to take care of him temporarily. He went to help deal with the aftermath. The little boy ran out of the police car and came near the asphalt melting pool just now. The father’s remains were salvaged, it was a human-shaped black object, completely black, terribly black...

The little boy only felt that his eyes were dark and fainted.

Ninjutsu, climbing, fighting, tracking...Chris Dan is trained every day, brave in the daytime, and cowardly and fearful at night...

During the night training, Chris Dan was easily defeated by Renner. Facing the thick night, he was like a little boy in fear, shrank into a ball and never dared to stand up again.

"Why did we fall, Chris?" Rainer's voice always sounded at the right time. "Because of this, we can learn to stand up!"

Looking at the trash actor on the screen, Daisy was a little mad, but when she saw Renner who taught her carefully, she muttered, "This teacher looks very good!"

The film flashed back again. After the funeral of the old Dann, Chris Dan inherited a large sum of stocks and the like left by his father, and then Reina appeared as the godfather. Without much effort, he got a dozen. The custody of the year-old Chris Dann.

"Chris, do you want to avenge your father?"

The criminal was only shot in the leg and did not die. Chris Dan accepted Renner's suggestion and left New York to go northward and began to receive various rigorous training.

But at the beginning Chris Dan was very decadent. When he grew up, he went back to New York once, contacted the girl who grew up with the neighbor’s house, and through her congressman father, he learned from the side that his father’s death was not It's that simple, and it's not just a simple robbery or kidnapping case. Behind it is the biggest evil force in New York...

This also makes Chris Dann clearer that he needs to pay a lot to avenge his father.

He trained hard, learned all kinds of skills, and became extremely diligent, but he could not overcome the fear of darkness. The darkness was like dissolving the asphalt of his father, which made people shudder.

"What you don't understand will always scare you!"

His godfather Renner is an outstanding master of combat. He is not only skilled, but he also seems to understand the human heart. "If you want revenge, you must defeat the strong with the weak. If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you must make people fearful. To make people fearful, they must overcome their own fears!"

Rainer accompanied Chris Dann in training, hunting, and lurking... with careful teaching to help him overcome his inner fears, and Chris Dan understood a truth. The best way to defeat evil enemies is Turn into fear!

Edmund-Princeton recognized this idea very much, "If you want to scare the insidious and cunning enemies, you must make them feel scared!"

In the first 20 minutes of this film, all it shows is how a man overcomes his psychological fear step by step, and in a concise way, he clearly introduces Rainer, Chris Dan, and Sheriff Lynch. And Jay Rachel.

In the Lincoln Center for the Arts, Todd McCarthy has the same idea. Reiner and Chris Dan are very successful. The beginning looks like a simple revenge story, but the psychological changes of the characters make the characters flesh and blood.

If you think about it, it is also such a short answer. How can any child experience such a tragic incident in his childhood without creating a psychological shadow? This kind of shadow is very difficult to overcome, and it does not mean that it can be faded over time. Overcoming it is definitely a very difficult process.

Murphy Stanton used more than twenty minutes to clearly explain the impact of fear on people.

Todd McCarthy wrote the word "fear" in his notebook. Although this story looks like a simple revenge story now, he thinks it will never be that simple. Murphy Stanton's movie is not next door. Marvel's simple and brainless popcorn.

He believes that the story will be very complicated. This is by no means a simple film about revenge. From the analysis of Murphy Stanton's style and several trailers, it should be an unusually dark and heavy stylized film. That's it.

In the first twenty minutes of the film, the picture did spread this rich dark tone, but the theme did not seem to be particularly heavy, it was just the protagonist overcoming his fear.

That Renner should not be a good person!

It’s not just Todd McCarthy who feels this way, but Daisy also thinks so. She stares at the screen intently while her head is telling to turn. Judging from what Renner has done, she looks like a very good godfather. But I always feel something is wrong.

Daisy is a veteran Murphy Stanton fan. Since she saw a movie, she hasn’t seen any of the main characters in Murphy Stanton’s movies, except for "Deadpool" movies like noir. The good guys, even the Superman in "Man of Steel" can't match.

After all, many innocent people were killed by mistake during the Superman War. This Renner seems to be only trying to avenge Chris Dann...

wrong! Daisy immediately understood the problem. When training Chris Dann and guiding him to overcome psychological obstacles, Rainer frequently mentioned justice and revenge.

In particular, he encouraged Chris Dan to return to New York, because the murderer of his father has not yet received a justice trial, and the belief instilled in Chris Dan is: if justice is done, revenge must be accomplished!

This sounds right. The problem is that New York is not in the Middle Ages. There is a government, a police, a court, and a sound judicial system. Is the view of lynching for justice really correct?

Most of the adults who can sit here and watch the early stage of "City of Chaos" are mostly adults. Murphy's films have never been the dish of teenagers with brainless popcorn.

The biggest characteristic of his fans is that he has a certain life experience and can think about problems appropriately from his own point of view.

It is not only Daisy who has this idea, but also many other fans.

The murderer who killed Old Dan waited for the trial of the law, but Rainer asked Chris Dan to lynching instead of the law. Is this appropriate? Is he really trying to help Chris Dann get revenge? Didn't he know that if Chris Dan takes this step, he will become a notorious wanted criminal?

Fans who watched "City of Chaos" were watching and thinking. In the next cinema room, a large number of fans were chewing popcorn and happily watching the screening of "Thor".
