After watching "Mission: Impossible 1", I sighed that Tom was so handsome at that time, and the years are making people grow old. At that time, the film could be said to be the US version of 007, but now it can be said to be as influential as 007, because of the constant Ethan Hunt-Tom Cruise.

1. First, sort out the plot of the film:

1. The CIA sent an instruction to the special agent team headed by Jim that an agent has been treasoned and will steal the list of CIA agents lurking in Eastern Europe at the Prague consulate. Under the planning of Jim (hereinafter referred to as the boss), the frontline main force Ethan Hunt and several other members were all in place, but the situation turned down and the team members died one after another. It turned out that what was stolen was false information. The CIA sent another group of special agents to monitor the ghost. The surviving Ethan Hunt was identified as a traitor. In desperation, he successfully escaped by bombing the hotel’s water hall with a gum bomb. Ethan Hunter decides to find out the real traitor, and the surviving eldest wife also reconciles with Ethan (an ambiguous relationship with Ethan).

2. Ethan sent an email on the computer to contact the buyer Max, promising that he could get the list of agents, on the condition that in addition to 10 million US dollars, he had to surrender the insider. Ethan finds out two suspended agents, a tall man (a gang with the boss, an accomplice in the Prague conspiracy) and a technical man (later becoming a frequent visitor of the 4-member group), and the boss’s wife four sneaked into the Langley headquarters. It succeeded in stealing intelligence while avoiding pressure, temperature, and sound alarms in the data room ( classic scene: climbing vents and stealing data from the air suspension became the most classic action in the Mission Impossible series ).

3. Ethan, who rushed to London, suddenly met Jim. Under Jim's lie, Ethan gradually sorted out the context. Jim and Claire should be the real murderers behind the scenes. Soon, Ethan, Max, the boss, and the CIA gathered on the intelligence train. Ethan used the disguise technique to trick the boss’s wife into revealing their true colors. The boss’s wife was killed by the boss. When the tall man flew the plane to pick up the boss, he thought greedily. After hitting Ethan to death, he was killed by a gum bomb, and the boss was also killed ( classic scene: Ethan was lying on the top of the train, with a tunnel in front of him, and a helicopter chasing after him, which is entirely a visual roller coaster effect ). Finally, Ethan returned to the ranks of agents.

2. Summary of the Features of "Mission Impossible 1":

1. Disc 1 Ethan’s mission is: to be ordinary for himself, the target of theft is the disk (storing the list of agents);

2. Action scene: Climbing the vents and hanging in the air to steal data has become the most classic action in the Mission Impossible series; Ethan is lying on the top of the train, with a tunnel in front and a helicopter chasing behind, it is completely a visual roller coaster effect

2. Ethan's high-tech weapons: camera glasses, chewing gum bombs;

3. Turnover location: Prague (Czech capital)-Langley (US CIA headquarters)-London;

4. The task props for this film are tapes

3. Summarize the iconic features of the "Mission Impossible" series:

1. Unique way of accepting tasks . After the task is accepted, the props of the task information will be automatically destroyed immediately. The first five include movie tapes, imageable glasses, disposable cameras, public phones, old records, and after the task is accepted

2. Disguise . Every movie must have scruffy shots, and sometimes voice changers are added.

3. High-tech. There will be amazing high-tech equipment in the Mission: Impossible series, which are usually not found in other special agent movies. These are often the big attractions of the movie. Such as camera glasses, chewing gum bombs, pen poisoners, cosmetic case detectors, remote control machine guns, cosmetic contact lens photo glasses, luggage printers and so on.

4. Impossible task. The Mission Impossible series has always had high-level action scenes, and each episode contains impossible mission shots. It is the crowning touch of the movie, thrilling and full of creativity. For example, stealing disks from the sky in the first episode, fighting drones in the third episode, and escaping with a sealed water tank in the fifth episode. These are all Tom’s use of his body to show us impossible missions, which is the biggest look of the whole movie. point.

5. Classic background music. When the music plays, you know that "Mission Impossible" is coming.

6. Tom's wonderful performance. Every difficult action is played by Tom himself, which is impressive.

    The movies from 16 years ago are amazing. In 16 years, the Celestial Dynasty will not be able to make a real impossible task in history. It is Chinese movies.

    [Classic Rewatch] It used to be viewed as an action movie, but now pay more attention to Palma's author label style. The opening is similar to "The Fierce Line", the method of blurring the media is actually to highlight the origin of its TV series. There’s a vertical shot in the classic high-tech theft sequence that previews the spinning capsule footage from Mission to Mars. The handling of the first act is another tribute to his idol Hitchcock, and the suspenseful atmosphere is just right. The classic texture and rhythm of the film may not meet the taste of the current audience, but Tom Cruise's interpretation and ideas continue to inject a fresh sense of the times, especially the train/helicopter plot in the last scene, it is unbelievable that this is a par A work directed by Elma. The intense collision and fusion of the author's style and genre elements, and the superb control of complementing each other's strengths not only made the film the top ten of the year in the French "Cinebook", but also made this series last for 25 years!
