A nearly perfect popcorn movie

"Smiths" has been here for several years, and the real love between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is still going on. For this film, I have seen it being screened in many places. It's a pair of eyes following each other. Last week, the TV station was playing this film again. I was on this stage while I was boringly turning the stage. I found that the film had just begun, so I freezed the frame, made a couch potato, and watched it with peace of mind.



For this film, some commentators say: This is a nearly perfect popcorn movie, which can be described as a word. Let’s not talk about art and the like, handsome guys and beautiful girls, passion and action, love and fighting, blasting and bullets, all these elements are enough to stimulate the adrenal hormone hyperactivity of people, almost there are here. So, is there any reason to think that such a film is not good? The actor is a popular Hollywood star, and the director is also a director who plays cool movies like "The Bourne". What's more, at the beginning, there were also topics in and out of the film between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, all of which attracted people's attention.



Regarding being handsome, Brad Pitt has been playing for many years, and he is making strides towards acting, from "Sky Tower" to "Death of the Sharpshooter" to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Shameless" "The Bastard", the ministries are not just as simple as being handsome, they all have good acting skills in them, and they are also shortlisted in major awards seasons, but in the end there are few Oscar confirmations, but so many masterpieces are added. Masterpieces such as "Burning Love", "Lover on the River", "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death", "The Seven Deadly Sins", and "Fight Club", think about it, even if they are not recognized by the Oscars, they will inevitably remain in film history. name. And Angelina Jolie stepped out of "Tomb Raider" to "Wanted" and "Agent Sauter", all showing the box office appeal of an actress, and "Strong Heart" and "Suspicious Clouds for Children" is also showing Julie's good acting skills, and it is definitely not a fist, she only relies on sexy money, she is not only enchanting and charming, but also has a charitable heart, adopting a couple of different skin tones. A child, this is a wonderful work that makes Julie unique in Hollywood. Taken to marry Brad Pitt and give birth to twins, the life of the former "Smith" couple is almost a perfect incarnation to outsiders.



With box office washes like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, even the naivety and harshness of the film's storytelling seems to be forgiven. Originally, just look at it, big cast, big production, but the story is more beautiful because of its simplicity. Speaking of it, this story was originally just a master's graduation work by screenwriter Simon Ginberg when he was studying at Columbia University Film School. Think about Chinese universities. For a graduate's graduation work, some of them are immature, which is understandable. NS. What's more, Simon Ginberg later compiled scripts such as "X-Men 2" and "X-Men 3". A graduation work was transferred to the hands of director Doug Liman. Just then, he had successfully Coming out of "The Bourne Shadows", he successfully proved his ability to direct. Its fierce editing and cool actions have created a new genre for agents in film history. Directing a film like "Smiths" is almost a familiarity and steer the steering wheel steadily.



In fact, "Smiths" really miss Hong Kong's "Dark War", a scene of two people, both enemies and friends, trying all kinds of ways to confront each other, fighting wits and courage, and nearly perfection in a limited space. The individual's potential is unleashed, and there is always a superhuman performance, and even beyond imagination to play some tricks to make the audience feel exciting and more exciting. And Doug Liman also admitted that this is to some extent a tribute to Hong Kong movies. He was also deeply fascinated by Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and even earlier in the era of Zhang Che. When shooting "Smiths", he thought of many elements of Hong Kong movies, and he became invisible. Used it.



Sitting peacefully on the seat, to observe a loving couple, but secretly killing each other as their responsibility, this is really chilling. Who knows who is a super killer lying next to him every day? Think about "True Lies." A housewife in a mid-life crisis dreams of the excitement of being a hero all day long, but she didn't expect her husband to be a super agent like Rambo, that kind of new excitement. With a sense of worship, a woman can be reborn. But in "A History of Violence", marrying a former super killer, and then living a life of almost seclusion with him, but finally one day his past is revealed, and he has to face a new choice, whether to leave or Is the killer who stayed and put down the butcher knife or the killer? "A History of Violence" is also a very artistically imaginative film. However, "The Smiths" gives a different story. In this story, although the couple sleeps together every day, secretly they are doing their own business and constantly killing people, but the final goal is actually the couple who stayed together. . Of course, there is no more ethics and morality here, but just to show this simple and contradictory life state, and then use hot scenes to continuously fill the screen.



So, it’s just a popcorn movie, and it exhausts all kinds of elements, which makes people sometimes forget to blink and forget to eat popcorn, or like me, make a safe couch potato and lie down peacefully. After reading it peacefully, spending two pleasant two hours of life peacefully, and then stretched out, went to bed peacefully, and fell asleep peacefully.
