Did they have licence to kill?

Simply talk about it. I'll ask the question and leave the answer to you.

The first generation of angels is a TV series in the 1970s. The mysterious Charlie recruited three outstanding catchers from the yamen to his subordinates, forming a detective team that eats food, wears clothes and works hard all day long and earns a large bonus. . He De He Neng, in turn, does it mean that the treatment of the police at that time was too poor, and the police force was not efficient? How can such a powerful policewoman be unable to exert her strength?

Well, you can say that it’s because Charlie specializes in taking on those lucrative private jobs, or you can say that Charlie has a huge network of contacts, and then you can say that the platform provided by Charlie is suitable for the three angels to better display their professional expertise.

So what are their specialties? In addition to the observation and reasoning skills developed by the police force, the most different thing from the past is that detective work requires frequent disguise of various other occupations and integration into roles. It is the originator of pretenders. Angels are spies, Knight Riders who do not rely on high technology, and 007 who do not kill. This is great, TV series viewers don't have to wait for Bond anymore, they can watch role-playing once every episode is updated, and frequent switching of role identities can better reflect "spy quality" than always pretending to be a person, and the picture is real Dressed comfortably, the male audience appreciates the beautiful women, and the female audience appreciates the Chinese clothing, and each enjoys his own enjoyment. As long as you are willing to actively ignore the following issues-

No matter if you say materialization or vases, as I mentioned earlier, "delicious, well-dressed, and not tiring", the angels are always pretending to be the most glamorous and beautiful characters, and they have never once undertaken the hard work in the traditional sense. Tired. More than ten years earlier than Charlie's Angels, Ian Fleming complained about similar delicate self-interested actions in "Thunder Valley". It is a pity that this kind of self-interest is still used by the women's liberation movement, and Fleming himself has never had the opportunity to restrain the 007 film from making more and more nonsense in this direction.

So compared to the exaggerated 007 movies, you can find that the angels in the first-generation TV series are at least a little better, the atmosphere is peaceful, there is no fighting, and they only fire guns without killing people. Avoid concentrating all superpowers in one character, making the angels more grounded and believable than the later 007. In addition, this is also in line with the legal status of a private investigator.

In the movie version, has the legal status been forgotten?

It depends on how you understand active killing versus passive self-defense, and the ratio of killing with hands to killing with guns. However, the total number of murders is too large without causing police to question what happened, which will inevitably lead to the film plot being divorced from reality. Fortunately, the Barrymore version focuses more on punching than shooting. Some people say that the fighting scenes of this version of the movie are much better than those of the 19th version, after all, the main female characters of that era have undergone arduous action training. I admit this difference, but you really can't rule out that the "weight" of the 00 version of the fight also induced your point of view? Kung fu movies in North America also have a "long history", but most of the time they are always far from popular. A series of "resurgent" kung fu elements appear in new century commercial blockbusters, from The Matrix to Mission Impossible 2, I deeply disagree. Barrymore's version of Hong Kong-style fights can be said to be very "inner taste", but what about other aspects? The directors have made it clear that they are mainly for you to watch fight dramas, so the role of showing brain power must pass by, and the important professional quality of "role-playing" has been interpreted as a literal cosplay. The angels pretended to be various The characters are completely staged, and even the lens language and heavy ink tones used in the entire film are deliberately in line with the staged look. I am afraid that such "stimulant food" can be sold once because it is "unprecedented" for a long period of time, but then the sequel is further fueled, and the action elements have taken a completely anti-gravity route. It would be strange if the box office did not fall.

The "anti-gravity" setting of the 03 version pushed the original wonderful fighting scene into a child's play. If the villain was not set to be superior to delay the time, the action scenes of the movie version may be directly drawn to the Droopy animation-style always. win rhythm. Victory in fighting dramas and bonuses in literary dramas are actually stimulants to reward the audience for YY. A boring and completely predictable fight drama is a civilized and whitewashed version of the five-minute money-spraying scene on the screen. There may be many people who have done this in the history of movies, but repeating the mistakes made by others may be worse than the previous ones.

Oh, by the way, I forgot the question mentioned earlier, how amazing is Charlie? Did he do all the support work himself, or did he use his connections? Are these jobs mentioned? Are these workers mentioned?

In the old TV series, John is an important person who connects Charlie with the Angels. Not only does he take part in many trivial tasks before and after the event, but he also goes out to work together when necessary. This is the standard role of hard-working and hard-working, and of course, it is played by an unremarkable male. , opposite but beyond the role of Moneypenny in the 007 film. Of course, this role doesn't do all the chores.

The opposite extremes like the errands not appearing are typical of some later video games. The protagonist is always a gun that can walk, and you don’t need to know what to do. The commander behind him can sense the hidden enemies in the blind spot ahead by guarding the computer screen. every move. Similar failure division of labor is not uncommon in movies. The protagonist is responsible for firepower, and the anonymous supporting role is responsible for brainstorming, but in order to weaken the protagonist's sense of brainlessness, important reasoning breakthroughs must be left to the protagonist.

So answer it yourself. About the 2019 edition,

What is the legal status of the angels, can they take the initiative to kill, do they take the initiative to kill, and do they possess non-civilian weapons?

Are the angels unreasonably doing what the majority could do better?

Do angels and teams gather too much power to rely on others for help?

If angels rely on others for help, are those people reasonably mentioned?

Is the action scene anticipating every episode of the next second?

The above does not include the fact that you feel powerless to fight, and that gunfights are abnormal.
