In the third part of the series, Ingrid is old and Bove is also old. The two retired from the front line, each had a new career, and were used to a new life that was calm, stable, and boring. So when there was a task to find again, Ingrid was very excited, like an old horse eager to try, and Boff was full of joy of reunion, and continued to play the role of attendant.
But the times are different. Everything is new and high-tech. Now missions no longer require old weapons and 007-style special vehicles. Ingrid’s old style is like his people, on the verge of being abandoned by the times. But this time the villain also used high technology to commit crimes, and the government's technology has become a hindrance and weakness.
When all the means are weak, humans need to pick up the spirit of the past and rely on the means of the past. The veteran of Ingrid represents this kind of spirit, and is also a reminder that the old things are hardened and new over time. It may be silent, but not out of date. When it is needed, it will come out. Heavy and solid majestic strength.
I don’t understand British chivalry, but when Ingrid wears armor, iron swords, and floppy disk-operated equipment, I am very moved. I think this is the meaning behind this comedy movie. Maybe it's because I'm old, so I have special feelings for old things. From the point of view of film techniques, this is also very smart, because no matter how the story is filmed, there will be no new ideas, and the actors are also old.
The story of the movie is very simple, especially the beginning part, directly into the theme, simple and clear, not tired to watch. I think the director knows very well what kind of movie he is making, so try to keep the plot as simple as possible, just to make you laugh. But doing so is not very enjoyable, less suspense and reversal, not enough thrilling. At the same time, the villain is relatively weak, and there are some common sense and logical errors in the plot.
But isn't this a movie that focuses on funny, and has already experienced a very deep thought, Mr. Bean is still so funny, that's enough.
