The following essay discusses the cultural factors that inspired the “hard body” movies of the 1980’s and 1990’s, but it also describes the changes that occurred, later on, that contributed to the deconstruction of those movies. The hard body movies were characterized by having a reoccurring set of actors (Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Van Damme) and themes (facing adversaries in a forceful manner), and some of the factors that influenced this portrayal were the Reagan Revolution and a revaluation of the Vietnam war. However, a change in political ideology, and a reassessment of America’s place in the world, inspired the deconstruction of those movies, and newer movies brought with them a new message, of what could be considered a soft body.

我会回来的？1980 年代和 1990 年代硬体电影的解构

以下文章讨论了激发 1980 年代和 1990 年代“硬体”电影的文化因素，但也描述了后来发生的导致这些电影解构的变化。硬体电影的特点是有一组反复出现的演员（施瓦辛格、史泰龙和范达姆）和主题（以强有力的方式面对对手），影响这种描绘的一些因素是里根革命和重新评估越南战争。然而，政治意识形态的改变，以及对美国在世界上的地位的重新评估，激发了对这些电影的解构，而新电影也带来了新的信息，可以被认为是柔软的身体。
