Finally, I have to say that the movie itself exceeded my expectations. It gave me a surprise. Let me briefly share my thoughts on this film. Try not to spoiler~
First of all, as a film with "agent" in its name, this film may have nothing to do with agents. Unlike our impression of traditional agent films, this show has no exciting lurking, no cool racing cars. The chases and even the fights are more brutal than gorgeous, and a large part of the limited content is because of the fights. Therefore, as a "spy war", friends who are looking forward to this movie can save a little first.
Secondly, the protagonist of this film is an out-and-out second-hand person, which fits the screen image of Juan Xi very much. And there are some girls who are also more cowardly. Basically there is no advantage. Think carefully about such a protagonist, how can He Dehe be the protagonist? Looking at the overall structure of the film from this point of view, we will feel that the show actually greatly uses exaggerated images in terms of conception, and endows the characters with a symbolic feature similar to the performance of "animation". In layman's terms, the person who hangs up the "two" is committing the two all the time, and the person in charge of "handsome" is handsome the whole time (this film doesn't seem to have...). This kind of image implantation will allow the audience to quickly have a clear positioning of the characters in the play, and it is easy to substitute the characters. In addition, the villains are also more distinctive, and the feeling of this film is suddenly "animated".
Furthermore, this drama does a good job of "subversion" of the characters. The "impact" that the audience needs seems to be reflected in the "subversiveness" of the characters. A very cowardly person suddenly agile? There must be a story in it. If we can accept such a "contrast", then this film will make you feel interesting~ It is also completely different from other types of films. The action shots of the film itself are not "performing", and the editing of the action scenes is more Makes you feel "chaotic". At first I thought this was worthy of criticism, but later I found that other parts did not reflect the low skill of the director. After thinking about it carefully, it must be deliberate. In fact, the messiness of the action scenes makes us more impressed with the characters, and we will think: this character must be so busy.
In addition, when it comes to the quality of the film itself, this film is not considered a big production, and you can even smell a relatively heavy "diaosi" breath. Yes, this film should be a low-budget film. We can see from many clues that the funding seems to be insufficient. But the money in this film feels like it's spent on the blade, whether it's overturned on the bridge, or the convenience store fireworks behind it, the clips that can make the audience high are indeed unambiguous. These highlights keep us from worrying about how the whole film can't afford too many group performances or how rudimentary the CIA's pomp is, because indeed these are not the focus of the narrative.
Secondly, in terms of audio-visual language, this film is remarkable in the rhythm of the background music. There is an action scene where dance music is played throughout, which is quite new in terms of audio-visual experience. As for the lens, I only watched it once, so I didn't feel anything. But this also shows that the lens of this film does not actually have any bright parts.
It is true that in the current film industry, there are many large-scale movies, such a non-mainstream foreign comedy film may not have a good market, but the "animation" style of characterization makes this film a very different viewing experience. In a typical Hollywood comedy, each character is impressive, and it can be said to be an alternative work worthy of a movie theater experience~
