It is said that before the 1990s, the famous Hollywood fight scenes were very hilarious. Those big men were hard and slow, clumsy and heavy, as if they had eaten a ton of food, which made people laugh. After that, the Hong Kong martial arts films of the same period blew a refreshing wind to Hollywood, and the dazzling fast-paced action made Lao Mei stunned - so action movies can still be made like this? ! Yo Xi, Chinese Kung Fu, High!
Of course, Chinese kung fu is actually a pretentious thing, not worth mentioning. Even if Yuan Heping's "The Matrix" puts kung fu into a black suit and wears a super weapon, in the final analysis, it is still a martial arts routine, which cannot be taken seriously. Then, after Matt Damon's "Bourne" in the early 2000s, Hollywood's action film style underwent a sea change. As a special agent, Jason Bourne conquered the scene with his swift, sharp, quick and convenient style of play. Audiences all over the world, because these action scenes do not have any routines and superfluous actions, and the square inches are short-handed, and what is almost caught is what it is, and how to fight it as it is effective. It seems very real and cruel, but there are not too many bloody scenes. People are disgusted.
However, after 2007 "The Bourne 3", Matt Damon disappeared, and the failure of "The Bourne 4" can be said to be obvious to all. The audience couldn't help but ask: "Where is Matt Damon? Can it be called The Bourne without Matt Damon's Bourne?"
Finally, The Bourne 5 is here, and Matt Damon is back. This time, the film directly skips "Spy 4" and starts from "Spy 3" with the old friend Nicky, who hacked into the CIA's database and stole massive secret resources and was hunted down by the CIA. , When she found Jason Bourne, who was already unshaven, and wanted to tell him more about his life, Jason was indifferent: "I just want to live now, what does this have to do with me now?"
The opening scene of "Spy 5" is very exciting. The scene is set in the riots in Athens, Greece, against the background of the severe economic crisis. Tracking, fighting, and chasing are all done in a chaotic crowd. This story paragraph occupies almost a quarter of the entire film. Director Greengrass's handheld shot is still sharp, and the small details in the big scene are handled flawlessly. The constant change of perspective and rapid editing give people a sense of Very real look and feel. That's enough to nail the audience to the movie theater chairs!
The only regret is that Matt Damon is back, and his movements are still fast, but his body and face are indeed a little fatter. This is also something that can't be helped. After all, time is not forgiving. The age of forty-five for an action movie star is basically a hurdle, and the speed and explosiveness cannot be compared with those before the age of forty. If, I mean, if there is still "Spy 6", I hope Matt can hurry up to shoot before fifty, and then exit perfectly!
It is responsible to say that "The Spy 5", which has only returned after nearly ten years, is not as stunning as the first three, but the quality is absolutely excellent. How to describe it well, one sentence is: when I saw it for an hour, I felt the urge to urinate. But I held back.
