With the hit of "Deadly Woman" this year, Liu Yuling became popular again. But to say that Liu Yuling left a deep impression on Chinese audiences at first, it is estimated that it was "Charlie's Angels" in 2000. A fresh female action movie, different from the series of male-dominated action films that dominated the mainstream market at the time. More delicate and sexy, giving the audience a refreshing feeling. In addition, one of the three leading actors is Chinese actress Liu Yuling. When Liu Yuling starred in this film, she also happened to gain popularity in China by participating in Jackie Chan's film "Shanghai Noon". Coincidentally, China also introduced her and Antonio Banderas starring "Fighting Agents" in 2002. In that era when China was actively moving towards the world, Hollywood paid more and more attention to Chinese-American faces. All these factors have led to the film "Charlie's Angels" having an influence beyond its own value in China. At that time, Chinese filmmakers also had deep feelings for this series of films. As a result, since 2000's "Charlie's Angels", Chinese-language films have started a craze for imitation . 2001's "Stunning Thief". "Angel of the Sunset" in 2002. As well as "Naked Agent" in 2002, there are obvious traces of following the trend. But unfortunately, these movies, like the fate of Hollywood female action movies, failed to continue into a series of movies. And Sister Yaotiao said that this is entirely because of female action films , and there is no value in becoming a commercial type film at all. First, for action movies, it is indeed more difficult for women to complete the technical requirements as difficult as men, and first of all, there is a lack of power. Second, in order to make up for the lack of power, such films generally do their best to use women's head and posture to make gimmicks. But this kind of situation is very vulgar when filmed by a less senior director . For example, in the old version, Lucy Liu dressed as a masseuse and went to steal the keys. Drew Barrymore seduces each other, licks the steering wheel, and is put to sleep by the villain played by Sam Rockwell. This is not like a demonstration of women's status, but more like a flattery to a patriarchal society . The third is that it is also risky to fry up old IP, because it is inevitable for such films to repeat the style, and the failure of the 2011 drama version of "Charlie's Angels" is due to the fact that there is no new idea, and it is still continuing the scratching of the last century. Therefore, such films are in urgent need of correct Hollywood, and they are basically extinct. However, there are those who are not afraid of death. No, the new version of "Charlie's Angels" just released this week is one. Director Elizabeth Banks is also a magical existence. She was an actress, and she has made and released two films so far. One of them won the Golden Raspberry Award for the worst director in 2014, with a winning rate of 50%. To say that the theme of this female agent action movie is not popular. Coupled with such a magical director, the quality of the film can be basically imagined. The best result is probably a popcorn movie that just passed. However, this film still clearly shows that the director has huge ambitions . It connects the drama version of "Charlie's Angels" (1976-1981), the film version of "Charlie's Angels" (2000) and "Charlie's Angels 2" (2003) in nearly two hours. At the same time, it has learned the lessons of the failed reboot version of "Charlie's Angels" in 2011, and the world view setting of the movie has also been reshaped. The goal is probably to run to the rhythm of at least a trilogy. Therefore, clues are buried everywhere in the 2019 version of "Charlie's Angels". With mysterious characters and a huge organizational structure, Charlie's secret services are spread all over the world, and angels and contact "Bosley" are everywhere, rising to a larger pattern . But unfortunately , because the director's ability is really limited, After watching the whole movie, it is still more like playing a family. The so-called reversal and the so-called suspense are like the heart of a girl who is pregnant - all written on her face. And Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska in the 2019 version of "Charlie's Angels", their characters in the film remain unchanged, always so charming, pure and lovely, Excellent fragrance. Although they also have small emotions between little girls, they are still sunshine sisters in the end. And the most eye-catching of the whole film may be the "Twilight Girl" Christine who announced her coming out of the closet a few years ago. But that's only because her identity fits perfectly with the role of Angel Sabina. First is the sexy appearance. When the audience was immersed in her seductive beauty visible to the naked eye, the handsome, neutral and aggressive little K appeared, subverting everyone's imagination. But it is extremely regrettable that although Christine has completed the most surprising, stunning and subversive transformation on the screen. But the "Charlie's Angels" movie did not complete a gorgeous transformation . It seems to be under the banner of the rise of women, but in fact it did not do it completely. The character design of the female agent Elena is a beautiful girl with high IQ who is harmless and occasionally cute. When she was being questioned by the villain, she didn't use a gun, but the male villain used such a tool with a strong hint of x to choke Elena's throat.
In addition, in order to highlight women, the film does not think about how to strengthen the female characters, but tries to realize the so-called "superwoman" image by weakening the male characters too much . For example, men are all villains, and how stupid they are. The plan of the female boss is always successful, and there is no turmoil. But Sister Tiao wanted to ask, what is the significance of feminism displayed by a man lying on the ground? Can't women have equal PK with normal men? Therefore, the "fight" of a "fight" is not intense enough, the "fight" of "dressing" has not been able to fully fire, and the equal rights of men and women have not been made a thorough movie. Sister Tiao has never understood until now, what is the need for restarting this IP? Probably the filmmakers thought that the audience with more money was not enough.
