Recently, after dinner, I often heard colleagues chatting about a spy war movie called "Red Sparrow". Seeing them chatting, I couldn't help but have a little more expectation for the movie, so I hurriedly downloaded the Korean version to get a sneak peek. , the results were disappointing.
American movie "Red Sparrow"
Type of work: espionage
Main cast: Dominika (Jennifer Lawrence), Nate (Joel Edgerton), Vanya (Matthias Schoenaerts)
Story Overview: Tells how Dominika went from "Broken Leg Ballerina" to CIA Double Agent
Release Date: March 2, 2018 in the United States
It's a rather lame, ugly, and bloody film. The work exudes a strong "obscenity" color , which is annoying.
Sort out your emotions and enter rational comments.
Actors
There are three protagonists in the film - Dominika + Nate (CIA) + Vanya (KGB)
In terms of acting skills, Matthias Schoenaerts, who looks like "Emperor Putin", will definitely win. At first glance, he is a person with a deep sense of government and good scheming.
As for "big cousin" Jennifer Lawrence, she is obviously "incompetent", and there are contrived traces of her speech and interpretation ( full American Russian ). Of course, we can't deny her sacrifice for the film and her naked appearance (as for whether she used nude instead, There is no way to verify), but in terms of acting skills, there is indeed not much outstanding performance.
Finally, let's talk about Joel Edgerton, the absolute "three no products" , no acting skills, no appearance, no features, one "soy sauce".
Story
Background setting: today's world
Both sides of the wrestling: USA VS Russia
Agency Competition: CIA VS Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (KGB)
Key people: Cardinal Dominika, CIA agent Nate, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service officer (Dominika's uncle) Vanya, double agent General Korchnoi
Key plot:
① Cardinals are born. In order to protect her mother, the ballet dancer Dominika, who was seriously injured, finally obeyed the call of her uncle Vanya and was trained to become a "Red Sparrow" (a special agent, good at using "seduction" to subdue the target)
② Cardinals take off. After a grueling, cruel and inhumane experience, Dominika was eventually hired by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service and began espionage
③ Cardinals debut. The target is CIA agent Nate. Dominika was asked by the superior to establish a relationship with CIA Nate, thus creating a list of US spies in Russia
④ Cardinal dedication. Dominika, who fell in love with Nate at first sight, begins to awaken self-consciousness and decides to become a double agent
⑤ Cardinals counterattack. After careful planning, Dominika used the overconfidence of her colleague (Vanya) to launch a careful counterattack plan
⑥ Cardinals return to the nest. (Using bitter tactics, creating alibi, designing to frame up) Dominika, who successfully deceived the top leader of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, returned to his hometown smoothly
nonsense
The author has a lot of criticism about the level presented by the film, so I will use the following words to vent.
a. The "political color" is too strong, and this logic of "the supremacy of American imperialism" is extremely disgusting.
b. The story connection, logical sorting, and dialogue filling are not ideal. The sense of deliberateness and drama is too heavy. At first glance, you know that you are acting.
c. There are too many scenes of "selling meat". Is this a brain-burning spy movie? Or is it an island "action movie"? No distinction between primary and secondary, put the cart before the horse.
d. The proportion of "beautify" and "ugly" is completely unequal. Why do Western powers always show people a lofty and indomitable attitude? On the contrary, opponents with different positions are infinitely degraded and vilified. This setting is simply an insult to the IQ of fans! Boring.
e. The rhythm is chaotic (the first half is not rushed, the second half is fiery), the plot is rotten (except for dressing, it is undressing), and the editing is messy (the "montage" is overused, and the eyes are dizzy).
The book is not exhaustive, so I will stop writing here and see you next time.
Director ★★★☆☆ (Francis Lawrence has not yet stepped out of the "Hunger Games" series of mystery)
Actor ★★☆☆☆ (Although the eldest cousin has a sensual body, but in terms of acting, Matthias Schoenaerts is the only one who shines)
Plot ★☆☆☆☆ (one word "dish")
Visual effects ★★★★☆ (beautiful tone, a little fascinated)
Sound ★★★☆☆
Recommendation ☆☆☆☆ (too subjective video, not much worth watching)
