【观影】《The Flash》

Run, Barry, Run.

最终 DCEU 来到了它的完结,《The Flash》划上了最后的句号。一直以来 DCEU 超级英雄电影,跟 Marvel 电影一路爽不一样的地方,它在基于漫画背景故事下有一致的风格基调。《Man of Steel》、《Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice》、《Zack Snyder’s Justice League》三部电影,从 14 年到 21 年,一路坎坷。但我认为是非常好的正义联盟系列漫改电影,故事清晰、人物立体。但扎导的退出,整个故事没法延续最后的高潮。但值得庆幸的是《The Flash》给了一个不错的告别。

整个电影基于闪点的原著背景改编,闪点里面其实有两个感人的事件,电影是讲述了 Barry 这一件。另外一件是 Barry 给 Bruce 带回了闪点宇宙 Tomas 写给 Bruce 的信。原文如下:

There's only one thing I know about life.
I know some things happen by chance,
And some things happen because we make them happen.
Barry Allen was a man haunted by his past.
But when he became the Flash, he left the ghosts behind.
He found love. A Family. Friends.
Barry thought yesterday was behind him...
...But somebody wouldn't let him escape it.
When Barry came to me for help, I turned him away.
I'm not the hero of this story.
I'm a man who's been corrupted by his own unbearable pain,
I'm a man who has too much blood on his hands to be called good.
I'm a man who had nothing to live for...
...until the day I met the Flash.
The first time I met Barry Allen, I nearly killed him.
Like I said, I'm not the hero of this story.

在原著中,两个故事的主角都有了一份欣慰的补偿,Barry 见到了自己的母亲,而 Bruce 见到了父亲给自己的信。电影中虽然没有信这个内容,但在闪点宇宙大战的最后,Barry 多次穿越仍旧无法阻止宇宙崩溃,大家死去时。Keaton 蝙蝠侠对 Barry 说 you have already did,让他放弃这件无法改变的事实,也是比较让人动容的。

电影的高潮在于众多平行宇宙的超人和蝙蝠侠的出现,算是一个个补偿粉丝的彩蛋了。最后的最后,Barry 通过改变超市的番茄酱摆放,让摄像头能够拍到他父亲,从而洗脱了他父亲的罪行。不过宇宙的重启后这样的开放式结局,扎导下的 DCEU 再见了。

整个故事是反抗后的释怀与接受,当题目无解的时候,要学会着放弃。人总有自己的局限性,对于求而不得的事情,放弃是一种解脱。对于人生的困难、错误,我们选择正向面对,可能也会成就一个非凡的自己吧。

Run, Ore, Run!
