"Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol": "War" instead of "Disc"

The success of "Mission Impossible 4" is that it staged a wave of thrilling action scenes that have not been smoothed out. From the beginning of the battle between the agent played by Sawyer and the enemy in "Lost", the turbulent action scenes rushed to the audience: timed escape, Kremlin explosion, car crashing into the river... and Atang The courage of the agent Ethan Hunt, played by brother, who dared to climb the world's tallest tower-Burj Khalifa, with only a pair of "magnetic gloves", I am afraid that only Spider-Man dares to compare with it. However, this "magnetic glove" that only a super spy is worthy of is very cheating at the critical moment, and the power is cut off, so Tom has only the unarmed rock climbing ability in the big show "Mission Impossible 2", but it is slippery. Climbing on glass is completely different from climbing on rough cliffs. Such a task that only non-humans can complete, I am afraid only Brad Bird, who has directed "The Incredibles", would have thought of it! As the Hollywood animation director who directed a live-action movie for the first time, Brad Bird also dedicated an imaginative sandstorm racing scene for fans: In the yellow and invisible Dubai sandstorm, Ethan leaned on his phone (Apple’s) GPS satellite positioning locked the enemy’s car (BMW’s), and hit the enemy’s car with extremely fast horsepower (also BMW’s)... It can be said that the "Mission Impossible 4" The action scenes are the most imaginative, vigorous, and hottest in the "Mission Impossible" series of movies.

In addition to the hot and thrilling action scenes, the novel inventions in "Mission Impossible 4" are also amazing and exciting. For example, the magnetic gloves just mentioned, the retina camera that can be worn like contact lenses also has the effect of success. One of the most amazing high-tech products is the holographic projection, which can create ultra-fidelity "fake environments" to confuse the enemy and complete all kinds of impossible tasks.

Although "Mission Impossible 4" is praised a lot, it is not a perfect work. It is still only hardcover popcorn, which can only make you eat well, but it does not provide nutrition and a long aftertaste.

An excellent spy war movie must have two magic weapons, one is a "disc" and the same is a "war". "Dish" is talking about suspense drama that is full of doubts, and "War" is talking about thrilling action scenes. In the "Mission Impossible" series of movies, this is undoubtedly the first "Mission Impossible" directed by Brian de Palma. This Hollywood director, regarded as "Contemporary American Hitchcock", perfectly integrated the thrilling action scenes into the Hitchcock-style suspense puzzle. The relationship between the characters is complicated, and the characters are difficult to distinguish between good and evil. It is only at the last minute who the real villain is.

In contrast, the "disc" of "Mission Impossible 4" is weak. Its story clues are extremely simple, the main line is the US spies to prevent the Soviet mad scientists from destroying the world. The relationship between its characters is also simple. It is basically clear whether it is friend or foe. Only Brandt played by Jeremy Renner made the illusion of loyalty in the first half, but the suspense did not last long before it broke. The biggest villain (played by Michael Enques, who played the leading role in the Swedish version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"), although claimed to have an IQ of 190, his counterintelligence ability is not satisfactory, causing trouble for the Ethan team It is also limited to the physical level, not the IQ level.


The success of "Mission Impossible 4", which is "battle" instead of "disc," tells us that the crowds who watch movies are not demanding at all. And to achieve this to the extreme, so that the audience can enjoy watching the movie, and the excitement of watching it will please us.
