Abstract

The article explores the politics of the vigilante geriaction film, with specific focus on the remake of Death Wish (Eli Roth, 2018). In its construction of a nation under mortal threat from within and without, the subgenre is uncritical in its reinforcement of Trumpian rhetoric regarding the marginalization, precarity, and obsolescence of the older white male. Typical of the contemporary vigilante film, through its visual style, representation of masculinity, and aging star (Bruce Willis), Death Wish attempts to resuscitate a form of authoritarian heroism considered outmoded in the contemporary cultural landscape.

让美国再次仇恨？Vigilante Geriaction 的政治

摘要

这篇文章探讨了义警老年行动电影的政治，特别关注死亡之愿的翻拍（Eli Roth，2018 年）。在构建一个受到内外致命威胁的国家的过程中，该亚流派在强化特朗普关于老年白人男性边缘化、不稳定和过时的言论方面是不加批判的。典型的当代义务警员电影，通过其视觉风格、男性气质的表现和老星（布鲁斯威利斯），死亡之愿试图复兴一种在当代文化景观中被认为过时的威权英雄主义。
