| A Scene from the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier |
Plot:
The story of Captain America: The
Winter Soldier starts at two years after the big fight of The
Avengers at New York. Steve (Captain America) is trying to get used
to the modern lifestyle. Once he is sent to a mission by S.H.I.E.L.D.
to rescue some high ranked agents from terrorist. In that mission,
Steve finds agent Romanoff (Black Widow) trying to steal some data
from the terrorist with a flash drive.
Steve comes back to director Fury in
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarter. He then learns about the project Insight of
S.H.I.E.L.D., which is designed to to eliminate all terrorism threats
from earth by using satellite controlled guns. Fury fails to retrieve
data from the flash drive of Romanoff and gets suspicious. He is
then attacked by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who try to kill him.
Finally Fury manages to take shelter at Steve's house.
After coming home, Steve finds Fury
there. Fury hands him the flash drive and warns him not to trust
anyone. Then Fury gets shot by an assassin. Steve chases the
assassin, but he escapes. Steve also finds that his next door neighbour is an undercover secret agent, who is appointed by Fury to
protect Steve. On the next day, Fury dies in the surgery table.
Romanoff tells Steve about the assassin, who is known as “The
Winter Soldier”.
S.H.I.E.L.D. high official Pierce calls
Steve and asks him about his last conversation with Fury. Steve
doesn't cooperate. Then the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents tries to capture
Steve, but he escapes. He then meets Romanoff, who helps him to
escape from the search. Their flash drive leads them to an abandoned
bunker, which is the birthplace of S.H.I.E.L.D. There, with that
flash drive, they find the existence of Zola (a villain from the
prequel). Zola tells them how Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.
Steve and Romanoff escapes from there just before a missile shot by
S.H.I.E.L.D. destroys that bunker.
They then goes to Steve's friend Sam's
(Falcon) house, who, after learning all these, agrees to cooperate
with them. They then interrogates another S.H.I.E.L.D. high official,
and learns that Hydra, by infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D., is planning to
kill all of its enemies by using Project Insight.
On their way back from there, Steve,
Romanoff and Sam again get attacked by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. This
time, the Winter Soldier is leading the attach. At one time, Steve
recognizes the Winter Soldier as Bucky, his best friend, who was
apparently killed in a mission with him. They get caught by the
S.H.I.E.L.D., but a good agent who is not a member of Hydra, saves
them and brings them back to a secret location.
Steve (Captain America) now knows
Hydra's plan. But can he stop it? He knows, with the help of Sam and
Romanoff, he has to stop Hydra from using Project Insight, even at
the price of his own life. But how will he deal with Bucky, his best
friend? What can they do when the top most agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are
members of Hydra? Can dead Fury come to any help? Let's watch the
movie to know the answers.
My review about the movie Captain
America: The Winter Soldier:
First of all, I really liked the movie
Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
The plot of this movie was great. It
will seem extraordinary good considering its a superhero movie. On
most of the superhero movies, for example, The Amazing Spiderman, the
plot stays very simple. But Captain America: The Winter Soldier has
a complex plot with some political involvements, which make the movie
deep and interesting. Although the ending is predictable, but that
will not make you feel boring. The direction and screenplay of this
movie will also seem fabulous.
All of the main and side characters of
Captain America: The Winter Soldier are well reputed artists and
everyone have acted well here. The dialogues are also great. You will
find no imperfection with the make ups and the costume designs. Here
the costume of Captain America is a little different from the
prequel, but it looks nice. The lighting, set designs, camera works
and special effects were very impressive. The music and sound
effects were also good.
The only thing the director missed to
show in Captain America: The Winter Soldier was, as it was a story
after two years from the New York incident, why Captain America
didn't call for The Avengers when all of their lives were at risk.
There was no scene in Captain America:
The Winter Soldier, which can restrict the kids from watching this
movie.
Now, if you haven't already watched
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, then I have two tips for you.
First, don't stop watching when the end credits start. It has two in
credit sequences, which will give a teaser for the next Captain
America or The Avengers movie. Second, remember that this movie is
full of Easter eggs, that is, stuffs hidden throughout the movie. You
will be able to find most of them if you are a big fan of the comics.
But if you are not, please do a google search on “Captain America:
The Winter Soldier Easter eggs” after finishing the movie (as most
of them will have spoilers). Even if you are not a fan of the comics
of this series, but still knowing the background plots or predictions
will surely amaze you.
After seeing one of the end credit
sequence, I got happy to guess that, there could be a chance to bring
the X-men characters with The Avengers. But after reading about the
Easter eggs, I found that it is never going to happen, as the two
company holds the copyright of those two sets of characters. How sad!
So, overall, Captain America: The
Winter Soldier was a great movie. You will like it even if you are
not a big fan of superhero movies. I will definitely recommend
watching it to all movie fans.
