marvelling

Cap 1 and 2 are certainly very different. The theme on camaraderie and trust is put across in a simple yet sophisticated way. The former being, the good is compromised by the bad. The latter, the good and bad somehow overlap occasionally. Black Widow makes the best representation. The role of Steve Rogers definitely has a deeper meaning this time than the previous. And I really like how Chris Evans interpretes it. Not sure if it's just me or anyone else realises, Captain Rogers is frowning most of the time. Like MOST. But somehow it just has to be that way. He finds his love but shares a 40-year gap with her. He finds his brother who promises to stay with him till the end of time but the latter has no recollection of their brotherhood. The scene whereby Falcon asks him "What makes you happy?" to which he shrugs and replies "I don't know" really made my heart go out to him. And when Nick Fury hands him the thumbdrive and asks him to trust no one, I really saw myself in his eyes. Those eyes. A great sense of loss. And more helplessness. (Seriously Angie why the focus on his muscles when his acting is so awesome?!) But I guess things happen. He loses a friend, but he finds another. All in all, it was a good 132 minutes spent. While it's a commercial film, I have liked the shots used in the movie and appreciated the necessary flashbacks. Another Marvel production, checked!

The reason why I enjoy watching Marvel productions so much is that every time after watching I find myself in the world of superheroes. That, is escapism for me. It's another 48 days to Days of Future Past. But before that day comes, maybe I will dream of saving the world with fellow mutants again tonight.
