I like Connery’s wildness, Moore’s humor, Dalton’s calmness, and Brosnan’s chicness, so when a British yellow-haired actor Daniel Craig took over the role of Bond in "Casino Royale", I seemed to watch To Lazenbe, who failed that year. As a result, Craig did not leave, and he continued to act in another episode of "Quantum Crisis", and even brought this set that was about to become a cliché series back to the forefront of today's movie-watching taste. Bond is no longer a beauty and high-tech. Accompanied by the invincible desperadoes, they have gradually become realistic characters like Jason Byrne. They will be decadent and rise up. Craig and the two directors have teamed up to successfully reshape "007". . So, when I heard that Sam Mendes would take a more realistic approach to filming the latest episode of "Skyfall", and even borrow Nolan’s suppressive dark "Dark Knight" style, and Craig will continue to play , I can say that I can’t wait for "Falling from the Sky".
First of all, although "Casino Royale" and "Quantum Crisis" are prequels, they have already gradually deviated from the path of prequels and become independent Bond stories in another dimension of time and space. Although they are wonderful, they are not very similar to "prequels". Take the side. But "Fall of the Sky" really brought the story back to the right track of the prequel. In this film, M, played by Judy Dench, died in Bond’s arms. M, played by Ralph Fiennes, was The old boss we know best is officially on the job, and both Q and MONEYPENNY have a more substantial background story in this film. Mendes has enhanced the film’s “prequel” taste to the greatest extent when he inherited the style of the previous work. It also ensures that the whole film has a strong new personal style. Indeed, in terms of story weaving and character creation, "Skyfall" easily reminds fans of Nolan's "Batman Prequel" trilogy, especially the most popular "Dark Knight". The whole film is filled with a mood from complete despair to hope and light. The realistic Bond in the film becomes more complicated: abandoned, fallen, and then to the rise of self-recovery, Bond Knight Really become a person, rather than a mere unbeatable pervert. In the same way, the villain played by Javier Baden also went through crazy and personal appearances like "Joker" Heath Ledger, carefully planned "self-injection" conspiracy, and finally defied life and death. While drawing lessons from Ledger’s performance, Deng incorporated the stability and rationality that "Joker" did not have into the role, making this character as charming as "Joker" but distinctly opposed to it. After all, an awesome actor like Baden is not always simple. Yes, Baden’s participation in "Falling from the Sky" is more attractive to me than Craig's performance and Mendes's directing.
As an action movie attribute, "Skyfall" is the most emotionally rich in recent years, which undoubtedly owes to Mendes' directing skills. The prologue of the film is thrilling to watch. From speed chase to train fighting, the tight rhythm and rapid editing make the tense atmosphere of the film almost perfect. The final night of the film in the Scottish Highlands is concise but carefully set up, not to mention the participation of the classic Haston Martin in this scene. Mendes has made an end to the whole story through this scene. It also enriches Bond's background very well, makes Bond further alive, and drives each character to become three-dimensional. This kind of axial character creation can be said to be Mendes's best. , Shaped like Kevin Spacey in "American Beauty" and Tom Hanks in "Road to Destruction". "Falling from the Sky" has achieved good results in both popularity and depth.
By the end of "Skyfall", the story of the "Prequel" is almost finished, and the Bond Knight has officially risen to become a mature agent with a sense of responsibility. As for how the Bond Knight story will proceed, it remains to be seen, but Mendes has undoubtedly found the best style and continuation direction for the "007" series, so we have reasons to continue to look forward to it. Maybe Mendes’s "James Bond" will be the same as Nolan’s "Bruce Wayne". Become another benchmark and role model.
