In my opinion, the most successful part of MI4 lies in returning to the theme of Mission Impossible itself. As a pioneering work in this series, MI1 did not emphasize the arduousness of the task from the beginning. In fact, the end of MI1 is the biggest highlight. If it is said that sneaking into the IMF to steal data and fighting on high-speed trains, most people will never forget it. If so, the most difficult task in MI1 is how to lead the snake out of the hole and let Jim break the law. As a suspense film that achieved a major reversal at the end, MI1 set a very high starting point for the entire film. MI2 did not continue this tone, the story itself is very mediocre, it seems to be Wu’s "violent aesthetics" advertising; MI3 is a bit too correct, too hard on the story, the beginning part is too slow, the middle is compact and the second half is somewhat Hasty. MI4 guarantees a uniform speed in processing, and enhances the entertainment of the story, which makes people's nerves properly relax while being tense and exciting.
As the signature dish of the MI series, the most difficult task is the place that tests the mind of the screenwriter the most. In MI1, the two parts of the invasion of one's own home and the high-speed train are shocking; in the fourth episode, the invasion of the Kremlin and the climbing of the Burj have become a new difficulty. There is no doubt that this is something that can be compared with MI1 is a task that is as difficult as shoulder-to-shoulder. Especially in the section of Burj Khalifa, glove failure, falling from high altitudes and window sills to save people, coupled with sandstorms as a "condiment", this kind of urgency needless to say; Simon Pegg interspersed with jokes, which served as a slow-release agent. effect. From the assassination of the Minister of Defense, to dealing with terrorists, to intercepting nuclear bombs, the entire MI4 story is not easy; and the beginning of the escape from prison, the bargaining in the next house, and the teasing of Indian tycoons all eased the narrative rhythm of the story and played it down. This kind of film itself brings tension.
Brad Bird, who was an animation director, borrowed the treatment of animated films in the last fight, and made this decisive battle very interesting through the toy elevator. In fact, if it is a pure hand-to-hand combat, the audience has long been numb and accustomed to the movies in recent years; after the addition of equipment and other external forces, the fight has added a lot of uncertain factors, giving people a refreshing feeling.
As a classic part of this series of movies, scanning documents and falling from the air are still preserved, but the suspended person is replaced by Renner; it is conceivable that the part of climbing the Burj Khalifa will become a repetitive segment in the future, even Will attract imitators. Bird's first live-action movie showed his skills, and this movie may make Tang a popular favorite again. When the 007 series enters a realistic style and the future of the Bourne Film series is uncertain, this MI4 may become a new trend leader. Believe that MI5 does not have to make us wait too long.
