Win by pulling

Haven't watched Angelina Jolie's new film "Salt"? Then you are OUT. From the perspective of commercial films, Salt is definitely a best-selling film. The film tells a story similar to "The Bourne": the protagonist is a female agent named Salt, an elite agent trained in the former Soviet Union, who has experienced an unforgettable experience. After love, "reversed". Having said that, you should be able to imagine how wonderful the film is. When Orlov, the former leader of the KGB, who is also Salt’s mentor, came to activate her, the conversation was particularly exciting. This happened in the CIA interrogation room:
Evelyn. ·Sauter: What is your name?
Vasily Orlov: My name is Vasily Orlov. Today, a Russian spy will go to New York to assassinate the President, his codename is KA-12.
Evelyn Schott: This KA plan is fabricated.
Vaseli Orlov: Don’t you know this plan?
Evelyn Sauter: Very good, you can tell my colleague the rest of your story.
Vaseli Orlov: The name of this spy is Evelyn Schott.
Evelyn Sauter: My name is Evelyn Sauter.
Vaseli Orlov: Then you are the Russian spy.
I believe that this dialogue has reached a lot of audiences. Although it has achieved a dramatic effect, it is logically impossible. Because there are many ways to activate the latent agent, Orlov is a veteran, using the method of surrendering himself to activate his subordinates, it is really suspected that his head is flooded. Perhaps this was a trick that the mentor tried for years without seeing his apprentice. Orlov's confession made Salt very embarrassed, explaining to his colleagues on the one hand, and contacting her boyfriend on the other. Seeing this, I didn't think Salt would be a KGB, but his boss. First, the skin complexion was very white, and the second was that his facial profile resembled a Slav.
I guessed half of it. Salt and his boss were both hidden agents. When Salt escaped from the interrogation room and entered the White House, he realized that his boss was also a KGB. Here, it is meaningless to discuss who is the KGB, because it is purely nonsense by the screenwriter. What is really worth noting is the process of Salt's escape. Angelina Jolie is responsible for most of the several street hunting and car racing scenes in the film. Those wonderful car jumping and blasting scenes are also the most exciting parts of the film, and their popularity is no less than that of Mark Damon. Tom Cruise's spy movie. However, senior movie fans will sneer at these, because apart from switching to female agents, there is really nothing new in TMD, just like watching a series of mixed time like "24 Hours".
Let's take a look at the other scenes of the film. The first one is the death of Orlov. Salt alone leveled the water bunker that the KGB had painstakingly managed and killed the mentor easily. For those who are familiar with the KGB. In other words, this is like a child's play. If Orlov is so vulnerable, how can he cultivate so many elites mentioned in the film? The second "tipping point" is the White House of Soft Tofu. As we all know, the White House is the most heavily guarded bunker in the United States. Security is beyond doubt. Alone, Salt broke into the strongest underground fortress (old friends who came in with her can ignore it), and easily smashed the walls of the "secret room", which was obviously too much to pull.
However, movie fans like excitement and dreaming. "Salt" meets people's needs, so it will surely be commercially successful. As for those ridiculous plots, with popcorn and soda, who would care so serious? Moreover, "Salt" will have a sequel to continue the thrilling excitement like the American TV series. In this era of national entertainment, what's wrong with it? The equivalent is a large box office revenue, why not do it?

    Every white person hiding in the CIA may be a Russian.

    Except for Aunt Julie's various invincible auras, the anti-hero film that the film itself strives to create is still good. At the end of the play, obviously building blocks for the series, but fast, the heroine will not forgive years.
