[Movie] Captain America The First Avenger: Reveals About Masculinity

After I watched Captain America on Thurs night, my first reaction was "Does such liquid exist in real life?". For guys like me who are not tall and the body is naturally not fit according to the normal society judgement, is quite a relevant issue. Imagine if there is such liquid, although only change the body shape, but it will change a person life, no?

Well, back to the movie again. The movie was pretty amazed me. I am totally like the story plot. I wont be a spoiler here, but just a reminder for watching it from beginning of the movie, if not you will miss the whole point that I am talking about now.

Captain America as the Marvell Super Heroes, can be said as one of the weakest. His only ability (according to the movie) is he has 4 times faster of normal human metabolism, I assume here everything in his body become 4 times faster, including brain. But, the fact that he has brain long time before he become the super heroes defeats some of the Heroes that I know i.e. wolverine. By this kind of ability, let us do a calculation:

Assume that

  • Normal human running speed: 20 km/hour, so he will have running speed of 80 km/hour, means the speed of card in the movie was less than 80 km/hour?
  • Normal human can jump up to 4-5 metres long, so he can jump up to 16-20 metres long? Well, it might explain one scene in the movie.


But if thats the logic of faster metabolism, doesnt it mean he need 4 times of normal food consumption as well? But too bad the movie never showed us the scenes where he ate. Cant imagine if they show it, and he was having dinner date with a girl. LOL

Beside the Captain America itself, the villain is pretty ugly. When I saw it, My friend and I were laughing because it is uglier than voldemort (yup, we laughed about Voldemort also before). *sorry, but I neither watched cartoon nor read the comic before*

This movie also proves to audience how actually girl in general judge a guy. Indeed girl judges a guy superficially by looking at the physical body, job position, etc *name it as what you want that you think it is superficial*. But your true love is the one who judge you from your characters that you have, no? Well, at least thats what another message that I think the movie want to deliver to the audiences. *Captain America has the biggest heart among his cohort of army people*

You also might heard from your friend to stay at the cinema after the credits of the movie. Well, it is quite true there are extra scenes *cant reveal it here*, but if you are in hurry to somewhere else (maybe need to go back home earlier), f**k it, dun wait. You can watch the extra scenes at the youtube I think, although not anytime soon. Because the credits way much too long for you to wait, I was waiting for 5 minutes, and I was holding back my urine in my bladder due to this. :(

To end this, let me show you the synopsis of the movie (took from here) and the trailer video of it from youtube.

It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erksine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erksine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's head of its secret HYDRA research department, Johann Schmidt aka the Red Skull, Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot. However, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America and his war against Schmidt begins.
