To be honest, after watching Mother!, I have high expectations for this film, because I know that Sister Luo has stopped talking about water films after she became famous, so generally her films are those with features, themes, and appeals. Seed slices. Red Sparrow (RS) might have wanted to be one of those films, but it failed.
The reason for #MeToo is that the timing of this film is really inappropriate. Today, the new feminist movement #MeToo in the United States is in full swing. Countless bigwigs from all walks of life have been accused of violations and have stepped down. Not long ago, the incident of the comedian Aziz has cast a shadow on #MeToo. At such a sensitive point in time, RS emerges, telling the story of a woman who is forced to use her body as a weapon. If it is not deliberate, I can only say that RS was born at an untimely time; if it is deliberate, then the producer will inevitably be a bit grandstanding, and it is suspected of making a box office with the topic.
I haven't read the original book, so I can't compare the movie to the novel. However, if we only talk about the movie, I can only say that RS is a failure. Under the overwhelming publicity of the producer, in Sister Luo's tireless show, the story presented by RS is so pale, so lacking in appeal: large-scale and violence cannot cover up the unsuspenseful plot and childish spy It gets old you know? The rhythm of the movie is also not well grasped, I think it is very straightforward, and it may be too easy to see through the turning point of the plot related.
In terms of acting skills, all the main roles can be regarded as veteran actors, and many supporting roles are even called "senior government staff professionals". It's a pity that Sister Luo and the male protagonist didn't call at all! Coupled with Sister Luo's half-baked Russian accent, it's very entertaining!
In short, this is an adult childplay. Students who are particularly interested in Swallows can take a look.
