      classic work

      What is a classic? The climax of the whole film is constant, and many action scenes can be called textbooks, and the little humor interspersed from time to time also makes people smile. The few literary dramas make the rhythm of the whole film relaxed, the feelings are sincere, and the characters become fuller. Great effort has been put into the shaping of the villain Han Mo, and many reversals are also based on normal logic. All of which makes the action film still alive today, 23 years...

      An amateur film review of Brave Island

      Director Michael Bay, who made "Pearl Harbor" and "Transformers", starred Nicolas Cage (Cage before he was the king of bad movies), Sean Connery, put these names in the same movie Here, just think about how wonderful it is.

      The 1990s was the golden age of film stunts advancing by leaps and bounds, not to mention the entire United States at that time, just in Hollywood, there were countless action films flooding the global film market. In reality, most of them are constantly refilling...

      Brave the Dead Island movie review

      The plot is compact and the setting is basically reasonable. A heroic general made an action to demand compensation from the government because of his inner condemnation of the sacrificed soldiers. The action scenes are very beautiful, especially the background music. Mass civilian deaths. The main point of this film is to return to the war, the second call on the government to pay attention to the soldiers who died and injured in the war, and the third through the film to tell some people...

      Why is everyone okay when the poisonous balloon burst in the end?

      I have never understood one point. Isn't that one of the balls powerful and can be air-borne and water-borne? In the end, a small ball was broken. Only Cage took the antidote. Mason, who was also on the island and not far away, was fine. The hostages on the island and the pilots who picked them up are all right. In addition, I want to say why the US government can't give money. I want to say that the value of this film must be that the US government cannot compromise with terrorist forces,...

      pay for history

      The problems left over from the war and the placement of soldiers have always been very thorny. Whether in the United States or China, there will always be many people who become unsung tragic heroes, and there will always be people who will rise up to resist their injustices, but history Once a decision has been made with politics, it is almost impossible to change it.

      American movies will indeed instill his values, which is unequivocal. Although many times they just talk about...

      A very classic action film, Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is highly praised, which elevates the film. The film creates a great villain admiral with a sense of justice. There is no complete distinction between good and evil, and there is no protagonist halo. Honor and national interest, classic action scenes, I like the ending very much, the director is actually Michael...

      The ultimate climax of this commercial action film in the United States is full of ups and downs, car chases, gunfights, bomb disposals, prison escapes and other factors, plus Cage and handsome old man Sean Connery in their peak period. . . There are also two lines that are impressive "The tree of liberty must bloom with the blood of patriots and tyrants" - Thomas Jefferson "Patriotism is an evil virtue" - Oscar...

      It was recommended by 2B Wang Jiale again. Cage was completely beaten by Sean in it. What a spirited old man, handsome!...

      It looks so familiar, I feel like I have seen it when I was a child. When I learned the Chinese name of the film, I felt like I have seen it before. But I have no impression at...

      Sean Connery is so handsome. The last six minutes were shocking. In fact, I really can't help but want to vote for the general, because I love this kind of...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Quentin Tarantillo and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin both polished the script of the film, but did not sign on the cast.
    Sean Connery asked the producer to build a wooden house for him on Alcatraz. This way he can live without having to go back and forth between land and island every day. Eventually the producer agreed to his request.
    During the filming of the film, Alcatraz Island was still open to the public as a tourist attraction, and...

    Evaluation action

    The film has no unnecessary gags and no excessive explosion scenes. Regardless of the decent villains, all face the crisis, fighting for their love or their beliefs. The film was very patient, gradually getting better, and the rhythm was more appropriate. Sean Connery's demeanor, Nicholas Cage's alternative and aggressiveness, and Ed Harris's coldness, several characters are remarkable. The film actually does not have very concentrated...

    Movie quotes

    • Major Tom Baxter: I thought you weren't ready to kill.

      General Hummel: I'm warmin' up.

    • Stanley Goodspeed: [while in the tunnels underneath Alcatraz] You enjoying this?

      John Mason: Well, it's certainly more enjoyable than my average day... reading philosophy, avoiding gang rape in the washrooms... though, it's less of a problem these days. Maybe I'm losing my sex appeal.

    • [after Mason has killed a Marine, the corpse's foot twitches]

      Stanley Goodspeed: [while in the prison morgue] You've been around a lot of corpses. Is that normal?

      John Mason: What, the feet thing?

      Stanley Goodspeed: Yeah, the feet thing.

      John Mason: Yeah, it happens.

      Stanley Goodspeed: Well I'm having a hard time concentrating. Can you do something about it?

      John Mason: Like what, kill him again?
