Understand the background:

1. "The Stormy Sea" was bought on a half-price movie day, when the "Prince of Persia" and "Robin Hood" did not have a good show, and the tickets for the good show were sold out.

2. At first, I thought "The Ghost of the Sea" was a pure Hollywood production. I still thought it was an American movie until the line ""The Spy of the Sea"-China" was printed on the ticket window. There are two reasons, one is because every day when you transfer to the subway in Zhongshan Park, you can see the introduction of this film, there are a group of foreigners. The second is that the ticket sales MM firmly told me that the film is in the original English version! Of course, the Huayi Brothers Film and Television Company's sign at the beginning of the film made me suddenly realize that this is a beautifully packaged "Daxing Goods".



My entanglement:

1. When the movie was put in one third, I suddenly realized that I didn't know what they were going to do. I asked the person above: "Do you know what they are doing?" She said: "I don't know...

2. Given the content of the film, I have been planning a name for the film review. Given that one A film review can only have one name, but I don’t think any name can fully express my feelings. Therefore, I will list the names that have not been selected as a supplement.

The name I have thought about is "Spy’s Love ", "Everything is a Misunderstanding", "The Tragedy of the Green Hat" and "Good Women Shouldn't Kill Men."



What does this film say:

Because the film has no plot and pretends to be suspenseful, many things are not understood . So I can’t comment on the logical main line of the photo. What I can do is to understand the director’s intention as much as possible and structure it to enrich the character and destiny of each main character. The



protagonist: What’s the

name of the protagonist? I forgot and found out It seems to be the male protagonist of "2012". His public identity is a reporter-a reporter who published an article on the Nazis in the Washington Post. His true identity is a descendant of a military family, a navy officer, and later became a naval officer. spy.

He returned from Germany, the main battlefield facing Europe, and immediately moved to Shanghai, where the Songhu War of Resistance was about to break out. The purpose is to perform a mission with his friend and partner Connor, but what the mission is, there is no explanation in the film. What is explained is that Connor once told him in Warsaw that he came to Shanghai to spend Christmas together (in fact, two Why naval officer + spy appeared in Poland where there is no sea is really puzzling, maybe he came to Shanghai only to spend Christmas with Connor).

But he did not meet Connor, because Connor was dead. Of course, as the protagonist of comrades and friends, you must complete Connor's legacy and complete its unfinished business. So investigation is inevitable. And here we are looking forward to half of the spy war film routines are beginning to emerge.



Anthony Lanting:

Actually, Chow Yun-fat is not as important as Gong Li in terms of the role, but why put him behind the protagonist? It's just because Gong Li doesn't seem to have a name in the film, and only Mrs Anthony. And Chow Yun-fat’s gang leader’s name is Anthony Lanting (this is a very comedic Chinese name. If the screenwriter is an American and the director is an American, then ignorance can be forgiven. I think Chow Yun-fat and Gong Li should give rationalizations. Suggestion. Even if it is called yuesheng•du!)

Zhou Runfa’s film is now less and less connotative, except after being disgusted in Captain Jack, the performance in this film is still superficial. What’s more terrifying is that the character’s personality logic is very chaotic. First of all, he loves his wife very much, but in the banquet at the German consulate, he publicly took his two mistresses and his wives to participate (compared to me, I think this It is a humiliation to his wife). After that, he began to show his wife that he loved him very much, and even shot at Da Zuo (I have to admit that this paragraph is still very demeanor of Xiao Ma). Of course, if you were shot to protect your wife, you would die a lot.



Mrs. Lan Ting:

Gong Li is a strange existence in this film. She is the wife of the gang leader, the daughter of the Kuomintang politician who was killed in the Nanjing Massacre, and the leader of the underground resistance organization (whether this resistance organization It belongs to our crotch, not mentioned in the video).

She is graceful and charming, except that she is a little older and her English is a bit harder, but she can still play such a role as a seduce actor.

She seems to love his husband, the gang leader, and is willing to take her brothers to avenge his father and kill a Japanese engineer (of course, every time he leaves by himself, the brothers are almost dead). At the same time, he tried every means to create opportunities to get the protagonist close to his own life, so that he would disrupt his plan every time, and fall in love with the protagonist even deeper every time the plan was disrupted. Of course, this love has nothing to do with the love for the husband, and sometimes it is allowed by the screenwriter to love two people at the same time.



Da Zuo:

Da Zuo is a standard villain. You know that every spy movie will have a big villain. But what we see is neither a vicious, hysterical villain. Nor is it a villain with a refined appearance and a sullen heart. I personally think that Da Zuo is a gentle, depressed, mother-in-law and unbearable person. Why do you say that? There will be a clear explanation later. I am just wondering, how could the person in charge of a Japanese military's intelligence agency in Shanghai be in such a chaotic position?



Connor:

Connor died as soon as he appeared. There is basically no frontal description (except for his coffin). Regarding his description, apart from the murder that killed it, all we know is that the protagonist described him as a naval officer with a sense of justice, passion, responsibility and responsibility. He encouraged the protagonist to become a spy with himself. Of course, his method of death was to come out of his mistress's house and be physically annihilated by an unknown person.



Connor's mistress:

Actually, she is said to be Connor's mistress, yes, but not accurate. She is Connor's mistress and Dazuo's mistress. She is a big smoker, and is where the puzzle of the whole film lies. she is a key of this film. But in order to create suspense, this woman only appeared in two games after all. We have only heard her voice but did not see her. Every time she appeared, she heralded a large number of deaths.

The story goes like this:
After talking about the main characters, I guess everyone can understand the story now. In fact, this story is about a spy acting as a reporter who came to Shanghai from Europe to spend Christmas with his friend Connor, and then discovered that Connor had died at the door of his mistress's house. In order to complete Connor's decree, he began to trace the whereabouts of Connor's mistress, hoping to find something. In the process, she met Mrs Lanting, and then discovered that this woman had a very complicated background. She killed the Japanese and her husband worked for the Japanese and Germans. The key is that she loves her husband and may also love him. The Japanese spy chief who had a cooperative relationship with her husband was very suspicious of this woman, thinking that she was the leader of an underground resistance organization.
In such a process of covering and being covered, the protagonist discovered that several Japanese warships parked outside the Shanghai Songkou had disappeared, and at the same time discovered several torpedoes sold by the Germans to the Japanese. He thinks this is unusual and thinks what Connor has found is the secret, so he needs to find her mistress to confirm it.
Finally, we discovered that the underground resistance organization led by Mrs Lanting somehow became the protector of Connor's mistress. After a series of tracking, the protagonist, Mrs Lanting and Da Zuo found the girl at the same time. At this time, she was tortured to death by opium addiction. However, Dazuo said: "What do you think you can know from her mouth? I just learned that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, she can't know it!" "Then why did you kill Connor?" the protagonist asked. Da Zuo replied: "It's just because I found out that she was having an affair with others. After following her, I found your friend came out of her room. I was angry from my heart to the courage, so I killed him. "
Speaking of this, we know that everything is a misunderstanding, everything just stems from an adultery. So other people's wives can't sleep casually, otherwise they will take their own lives and waste other people's time and money, especially those of us who watch movies.
In the end, Da Zuo wanted to take Mrs Lan Ting away, but Mr Lan Ting came to escort him, and got into fire with Da Zuo. Finally Da Zuo was shot and fell to the ground. Lan Ting was shot to death. Before he died, he asked the protagonist to take his wife away from Shanghai.
Therefore, at the end of the story, Shanghai, which was reduced to an island, finally broke out in the Songhu War of Resistance after the Pearl Harbor incident. On such a war-torn night, the protagonist did not bring any documents. In the rampage of the Japanese soldiers, he took the leader of the underground resistance organization and fled Shanghai under the selective blindness of Dazuo. The whole story ends.


My questions:
1. What exactly are the spies in this film going to track down? How could her mistress know information that even Da Zuo didn't know? Usually the spy's attack will be accompanied by very conclusive surrounding signs, and then they will be tracked down.

2. Mr. Lanting, since he has joined Dazuohuo, why not kill him? If he was injured and unable to start, why didn't the protagonist kill him? Is it because he was put on a green hat by his good friend because of sympathy?

3. Since Da Zuo is not dead, why has he rushed to the dock, but selectively blinded the protagonist and Mrs Lanting away? Logically speaking, the first is that the enemy of the empire must be eradicated, and the second is that if you know that you are cuckold, you must also eradicate it. Both public and private shouldn't let them go?

4. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred in 1941, and the 318 Songhu War of Resistance, which was occupied by Japan by Japan, occurred in 1937. Why did the attack on Pearl Harbor occur first in the film, and then the Japanese seized Shanghai?

Summary:
If you say that every bad movie I've watched still has 1 or 2 points of merit, then this movie is not at all! thanks
