Violent movies that are overwhelmingly popular on TV
The action movie ``Commando'' (1985) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger has become a cult in recent years. When it is broadcast on TV, there are a lot of comments about the work on Twitter, and fans who are familiar with the story get excited.
According to one theory, it is said to be the ``Western movie that was aired most often on prime time TV,'' and it is a violent movie that is rated R in the United States and where people die easily and in large numbers, and it has gained such support among the average household. That is a very perverted situation.
Just in case, let's review the story of ``Commando.'' John Matrix (Schwarzenegger), a former special forces leader who traveled all over the world, has retired and lives peacefully with his daughter. However, military forces planning a coup in a country called Val Verde kidnap Matrix's daughter and force him to assassinate the president. Matrix pretends to follow him and head towards Val Verde, but he quickly returns and annihilates the military force by himself, and his daughter is safe and happy.
"Commando" preview
I tried to explain it a little harshly, but for the story, this is necessary and sufficient.
Terasawa Hawk, author of ``Schwarzeneggerism'' (Yosensha), also points out this in the same book. ``The opening 10 minutes where the daughter is kidnapped, and the final 20 minutes where the protagonist kills all the enemies in order to take back the daughter.The running time is quite tight at 90 minutes, and the entire hour in between is removed. However, in reality, ``Commando'' stands as a story.''
So what is it about “Commando” that fascinates us? To conclude, it is ``Schwarzenegger's existence itself''.
