'The Spy': This is not a spoof movie

It's a comedy, but in a sense, it's more of a serious drama, except that people's attention is mostly focused on the harlequin played by Melissa McCarthy, so it feels far from comedy. It is far more serious than the serious plot part, but in comparison, the movie still takes the story as a serious drama, so that after watching the whole movie, we find out that the story itself does not have any comedy color, it is because The reasons for the actors' choices, the story evolves, and it becomes a comedy from the ground up. Of course, director Paul Feige was born in comedy films, so he could not help but remember his comedy elements, and the relative actors also exerted their own specialties, making the film go further and further on the road of comedy, but the director's intention is not only It was a comedy, he wanted to make a real spy film with the same style and charm as other spy films, but although the idea was good, it was reflected in the film, but the taste changed unknowingly. The film is dedicated to expressing people who have been forgotten in the corner, fully excavating the characters and charms of small characters. When the whole society is mastered by people who look at their faces, waiting for the opportunity silently becomes the most helpless for everyone who is ignored. The choice until one day can come forward. Although it is questioned by people from all directions, it is precisely the moment that can test oneself the most. Gold always shines, and the deeper it is buried, the more lasting the light is. This also indirectly It expresses the director's inner thoughts and attitude towards life. Combined with his own life experience and his views on life's destiny, he reflects his feelings from the side of the movie.

The film depicts how a female employee faces the process of being looked down upon and ignored by everyone, so that in the first half of the film, the film has been taking a rather serious narrative path, although jokes to adjust the atmosphere are added. But what always makes people feel is just a wry smile in the face of the fate of the little people. With the development of the plot, the movie slowly began to move towards the path of comedy. With the addition of Jason Statham, the story entered the mode of restricted comedy. With Jason Statham's constant foul language, the story seems to focus on an embarrassing atmosphere, but the director doesn't seem to put down the movie as a drama, and there are still serious stories that are presented one after another. It has to be said that during the whole process of the development of the story, the heroine Melissa McCarthy was still able to grasp the process of the plot and tried her best to shape the character into a more normal character, which also shows that she is capable of performing roles other than comedy. , but the movie still depends on how she performs comedy, so her role has returned to a state of madness. As an action star Jason Statham who is known for his actions, playing a comedy role in the film is definitely a very unexpected surprise. This kind of eye-catching action with contrast has a very good effect in the film, but it's just a mouthful He swears, and it makes people feel very bad. I don't know why the director created such a character. I have to say that this is the biggest flaw of the movie, and it is also the only part of the movie that makes people feel disgusted. The film has a feeling of lack of tension in the shaping of the plot. After going through a series of conspiracies and plans, the female agent, who has never had outdoor experience, suddenly shows a sense of sophistication, and can easily control the audience. Precise command and arrangement, repeatedly saving danger and being secretly protected by others, but as an experienced old agent Jason Statham is being teased everywhere, and is always the object of being rescued from danger. This has to say two things. The roles seem to have been swapped. We don't understand why Melissa McCarthy suddenly had a lot of luck, and her performance was completely different, while Jason Statham, as an old agent, was reckless and impulsive, which made people laugh and laugh. Can blame the movie has a kind of god-like logic.

As a spy movie, although you can see the shadow of the 007 movie, it is by no means a spoof to follow suit. The movie has its own behavior pattern, which presents us an alternative spy story. Law and Jason Statham, two handsome men, play Melissa McCarthy, and the effect presented is also to highlight the role of female characters, and this film is a very typical female film, no matter what It is the pros and cons that have released the strength and charm of female characters. This is a feminist film wrapped in a spy film. Peeling off this camouflage, we can still see the jealousy of women fighting each other, and That endless beauty saves the hero.

This is a creatively unsuccessful film. From the feeling, the image it gives people should be a hilarious comedy with a very spoof and subversive nature, but the film stubbornly uses a more orthodox filming method, no matter in terms of plot or subversion. The performances use traditional academics to interpret the whole story. Although it is a little prank, it does not give people the preconceived feeling before. When you look at it as a whole, you will find that the movie did not meet our expectations at all, and it did not give us what we wanted to see. The content, not only did not have any big surprises, but also brought us a lot of disappointment.
