More than fifty years after the series started, the gloom of the Cold War and the coldness of the Berlin Wall have long been wiped out with the wheel of history, but the avatar born in the same era has once again been rejuvenated on the big screen. . Nowadays, Hollywood can use the Cold War as an ingredient to sway more freely, but the opponent who once had a cold eyebrow collapsed a quarter of a century ago, which can not help but make people feel emotional.
However, history is only a seasoning after all, and Gary, who has long since abandoned the arts and went into business, did not try to explore historical issues in an entertainment film. What Gerich needs, and what the audience needs, is just another good-looking and fun popcorn blockbuster.
When Britain was gradually being referred to by the title of a country of corruption, the great director and King of Bromance Gayrich, who shared fate with the motherland, faithfully implemented the line of selling corruption to the end. In the previous two Sherlock Holmes, The expressions of Holmes and Watson's behavior beyond the normal friendship of the same sex have reached the point where it is eye-catchingly cubic. This deliberate CP has become the biggest gimmick of the film, so that it conceals the light of reasoning and characters extended by the original work itself. .
At a time when Hollywood is following in the footsteps of corruption in order to please female audiences, whether Gary, as an industry pioneer, will refresh the lower limit is also a concern for many people. It is a little bit (just a little bit) gratifying that the film is not so curved by Gerich. However, in order to maintain his position as a pioneer in selling corruption, there are still many clearly intentional bridges in the film-such as the scene in which Napoleon and Ilia are assigned to become partners by the organization, the head of the CIA The corners of his mouth crooked, and then he told Napoleon meaningfully to give them some time to familiarize them with them. After that, all the plainclothes around them disguised as people got up and left, leaving the two handsome guys with big eyes. Although the benevolent sees the benevolent and the rotten, the benevolent sees the rotten, but the blind date scene has a strong sense of sight, director, can you explain it to me.
I don’t know if it’s due to pressure from the producer (it shouldn’t be due to the director’s conscious effort) or to take care of the male audience. The film introduced a female protagonist (the original TV doesn’t seem to change the role, I haven’t seen it. .....) Gaby came to balance the roles and successfully avoided another stereotype of the love triangle. The addition of Gaby can be described as the finishing touch. Not only does he act as a clue figure throughout the film, he also reduces the bluntness and confrontation between the dude and the iron-blooded guy, and his emotional interaction with Ilya makes up for the awkwardness. Weakness in the literary drama of the Soviet handsome guy.
Compared with the acid-base neutralizing violent chemical reaction inside this group of high-value secret agents, the symbolic villain and weak main storyline are as dull as distilled water. After all, something about the Cold War is still inseparable from nuclear weapons. The plot is also expected to be reversed and then reversed. The decent man must have a handsome uncle on the ground, and the villain must also create a femme fatale.
However, as a nostalgic to classic re-enactment film, this bias and trade-offs are also forgivable. The audience at the moment has long been raised the threshold level by DC and the Marvel group of heroes who are destroying the world. The posture of the science and technology and the nuclear crisis of a few decades ago is not enough to look at. As far as spy warfare dramas in recent years are concerned, various genres have been traversed by Hollywood blockbusters in an exhaustive way: Romantics have always used James Bond as their textbooks, and tough guys have the Bourne trilogy in front of them. The realistic "Potter, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" is unique. In addition to cross-border wizards such as Captain America, the sci-fi style also has the emergence of "King Agents".
Under the double-teaming of many films of the same type, and restricted by the historical background of the original film, it is not easy for this film to try to break a blood path. Since the play space is limited, the brain holes and special effects cannot be arbitrary, and the plot is difficult to innovate, so I simply put the focus on the relationship between the characters and the performance of the drama-these happen to be what Gerich is good at. Want great action? Let me show you two beautiful men; want a twists and turns? I will show you two beautiful men playing treasures; want to intrigue? I will show you two beautiful men who care about each other; want black technology? I let two beautiful men...
Therefore, as the first part of the UNCLE series, the daily routine of the protagonists has become the biggest highlight in fact. And everyone is tired of seeing it, so the protagonists are still responsible for flirting and funny. This hodgepodge also abandons cultural traditions and focuses on catering to the audience. Henry Cavill’s tough facial lines turned into sharp swords to pierce the sensitive nerves of fans. Amy Hammer carried tons of nymphomaniac’s gazes on his stalwart shoulders, and he looked nothing like Ai, the mechanic’s little beauty. Lizia was full of spring, and a bright red rose among the two large green leaves. The protagonists are either skin-to-skin blind dates or space discharges that release huge energy again and again, and with the cooperation of the villains, they either look divorced or pretend to be serious, causing the audience to laugh again and again.
In addition, Gerich's directorial talents are also shown incisively and vividly in the show of action scenes. The scene editing in the form of several divisions and splicing looks messy, but in fact it is clean and neat. The scene transition from division to integration makes the action narrative more concise and straightforward. Parallel montage). The soundtrack has once again made great contributions. While the background music and songs of various styles pay tribute to the age, they also form an absurd contrast with the pictures with outstanding comedy effects.
In short, the final result is a comedy of secret agents that are full of excitement and laughter. There is no serious agent teaching, and there is no blunt implantation of humanities and history, but it is very beautiful.
Digression: UNCLE is called United Network Command for Law and Enforcement, that is, the Joint Command for Law Enforcement. Seeing such a straightforward acronym but an inexplicable name in its full name, one can't help but think of Agent Coleson's question to Agent Gülen in the American drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.": Do you know what SHIELD means? Gülen responded disapprovingly: It shows that some people are trying to put the abbreviation of this organization into the word Shield. In fact, the creator just wanted to pay tribute to Uncle Sam and UN.
