A Movie That Questioned the Concepts of Good and Evil

If we look at the focal point of the story; in the human body but for some reason mutation or we can talk about two characters who seem to have undergone a transformation (change-transformation). One of these characters, named Samaritan and Nemesis, represents good and one represents evil.

From what is described in the movie, it is understood that in the past Nemesis has dragged people into chaos and anarchy. Samaritan is the one his brother tried to destroy. guardian of order appears as. For those who have not watched the movie, who are considering watching it, or who have watched it like me, but do not realize the situation at first glance, it may seem like good and evil are separated very sharply. But in the following scenes, you will see that this is not the case at all…

Two steps further, Sam had a dream hidden in reality:

The main character that draws attention in the movie is Sam, a little boy who does not have a father and lives only with his mother. This boy has admired the Samaritan for as long as he can remember and grew up with his stories. He’s someone who’s always out there looking for evidence that he’s alive. The reason for this is that he lost his father at a young age, a protective father figure I think it’s because he’s a child in need.

After all, Samaritan is a superhero in his eyes, a substitute for his father. savior figure. As a matter of fact, when you read this article and watch the following scenes of the movie, I believe that you can see that my thoughts are answered.

Now, to talk about the point where the events gained momentum; We need to go back to the moment when Sam finds out that the Samaritan is indeed alive. Sam is a joins the gang And while he’s in trouble with this gang, Samaritan rescues him from his situation. This way things get even faster.

Also, the head of this gang is a Nemesis fan. The gang leader seems to have vowed to revive Nemesis’ power by gaining access to her weapons. Is this person really awakening the evil Will he manage to wreak havoc, or will he face an experience where he will have to relearn the meaning of evil?

Good and bad can never be brothers(!)

From the fratricide theme in the movie, we can get a sub-message that good and evil are always in conflict. After all, in the conversations between Sam and Samaritan, since Samaritan always seems angry with his brother, the audience also develops a dislike for the other brother. However, despite all of Sam’s insistence, Samaritan somehow does not prefer to do good to people, protect them, and even our character is not very interested in people. homeless man demeanor is wearing.

Now on to the interpretation of the scenes where Sam is in grave danger again with the gang and Samaritan comes to his rescue. who once played Samaritan Sylvester Stallone Some people who watched this movie talk about the fact that because the actor has aged, he can no longer act as well as he used to. Personally I do not agree with this and Rambo again we know rambo I say. Because in the final scenes where Stallone fights the gang leader and his crew, I think one of the problems that make his acting look bad is the facial effects used.

This scene is not a fire scene.

Especially the effects in the fire scene look so poor that it looks like the face of the actor. as if bending looks. Of course, the effects are not the only thing that spoils the image of the actor, I think there is also a problem with the make-up applied to the actor. Especially the cinematographic (in the most general sense, image management) errors in the fire scene give the actor the impression that he is an animated character rather than a real person.

Nemesis: the inevitable end

Nemesis, according to Ancient Greek belief, represents a divine punishment imposed on people who are arrogant. Also Nemesis, in mythology revenge is the goddess. This goddess takes revenge to bring justice. Another meaning of this concept is Adrasteia, which means inevitable. In other words, the meaning of this word is to give the appropriate punishment to what is deserved. It is no use calling this punishment good or bad. Because this concept is based on the belief that “if a person has made a mistake, he should be compensated for it somehow”.

The reason I mention these is because there is a surprising fact about the Nemesis character known as dead in the movie. I would like to explain this surprising fact without any spoilers: This character is a character who is always badly known and always believed to do bad things. As I explained above, in fact, this concept does not mean good or bad, but as a response to a mistake made. ensuring justice states that it is necessary. At this point, I can say that even if Nemesis has made mistakes in the past, this time justice for both himself and his brother, as it should be.

Likewise, this movie always gives us in superhero movies where good wins I also want to say that it did not give the expected result. In other words, there is no ending in other superhero movies where the good ones are always good and the bad ones are always bad and they are rewarded accordingly. Did you get the message? Actually, this is a bit like the life we ​​live: We cannot say that good people always do good things or bad people always do bad things. Such linearity is not possible in real life.

In other words, like Ying and Yang, deficiencies-pluses, right-wrongs work as a whole. In this regard, the movie both fantastic and very realistic I think the fact that it is basically built on a narrative makes the movie more original than other superhero movies.

Editor Note: You may not fully understand this part, as I do not give spoilers. However, I think it will fall into place when you watch it. If you have watched the movie, you can write your thoughts in the comments.
