Let's take a look at the story design of this series first. The English name of the movie is "RED", which looks like the English word "red", but it is actually the abbreviation of the three English words "Retired", "Extremely" and "Dangerous". Chinese combination translation, It is the "retired super dangerous person", which refers to those agents who have worked in the CIA until they retire, and the department's arrogant people are classified as "red". This group of retired agents, because of their hobbies or life, will also get together and form a true "red army". In "Red Flame Battlefield", the old battle groups of Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren were successfully formed, and they were powerful and powerful. Fighting in the sky and fighting the earth, it is so lively.
Moreover, the investment of "Red Flame Battlefield" was only 50 million US dollars, and it finally earned 200 million at the box office, so "Red Flame Battlefield 2" became a must-have. Moreover, this upgraded version of the work has surpassed the first one in terms of viewing effect. It seems that the third part has also begun to be listed, and a new series of dramas was born. Especially in the correspondence with "The Expendables", the series of two old actors fighting in groups can compete with each other for a while to make the audience look good.
Back to the fun of "Red Flame Battlefield 2", first of all, it is the combination of its cast. As a special action film, it is also an action film full of fierce elements such as fighting, gunfights, and drag racing. Only Bruce Willis is the only one, the others are all standard acting schools, such as Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins are the winners of the Oscar and the best actor, and John Malkovich is also two The powerful actors nominated by the Oscar, as well as Catherine Zeta Jones, who also won the Oscar performance award for "Chicago", others like Bruce Willis, David Thewlis, Mary Louise Parker and Neil MacDonald are not vegetarian characters either. Together with good actors, they definitely form the combination of "the best acting in special agent films and the most capable acting group" as mentioned in the title. At this point, as long as they can play normally in the play, it is enough to ensure the quality of the film. Indeed, in watching movies, like the super-cool John Malkovich and Helen Mirren, their performances often only need one look, one turn, and one line, which is enough to be a textbook-like model for new actors. Now, the jokes are full of wisdom, and the coquettishness is full of style. What's more, the old man Anthony Hopkins, who is close to 80 years old, once again revealed his evil model in his bones, and performed a particularly vivid interpretation of a terrifying madman who seems to be nervous but full of wisdom. Moreover, in front of troupes like Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren, only seniors like Anthony Hopkins can hold the scene better. In front of such a bunch of old bones, Mary Louise Parker, who is over 50 years old, can still pretend to be tender, cute, and cute in all kinds of ways, and then she seems to have no sense of disobedience. I think that's how it should be, and that's how it feels more cute. And the former goddess Katherine Zeta Jones, who disappeared for a while in the eyes of everyone, suddenly appeared in the play, and her heroic spirit was compelling. Although her figure was obviously fat, the former goddess Fan appeared again and again inadvertently. The uniform is full of temptation. What's more, in addition to such a group, there is also a Li Bingxian who is full of oriental charm. His capable and delicate movements and refined muscles also make the young women outside the play look hot. Such a combination is full of highlights everywhere. If you want to look good, the rest is how to mobilize their respective selling points.
The way to make various selling points turn is to subtly press various elements in their most suitable places. At this point, the "Dragon Special Attack Team", which is also a middle-aged group, did not do the best. The reason why "The Expendables" looks good is that it does a good job. To assign the roles of a team, in fact, in adventure dramas, there is often a "threesome", such as the "Harry Potter" series and the "Percy Jackson" series, in horror movies, there are often A "quintet" of bitches (open-minded, big-chested and brainless), athletes (simple-minded, muscular), academics (knowledgeable, smarter and calmer than others), and fools (usually smoking marijuana) The otaku who plays video games), and finally the virgin (a more virtuous, healthy and intelligent lady), which is also the representative of the five types of characters on the altar. In addition, there is a "four-person group" like "Journey to the West". In this group, there is often a leader like Tang Seng, who is prestige and a little honest, and there is one who is the most capable of working in the front. A character like Sun Wukong who can play is often the second in the team, and then there is a role like Zhu Bajie who is responsible for laughing and embarrassing. He mainly consumes those boring time in various gags, and then gives way in the climax For the eldest and the second child, and the rest of the sand monk, who is responsible for logistics or all kinds of dirty work, either the high-tech bearer or the unremarkable one like the driver, their existence is responsible for The necessary logistics, there is a sense of presence but at the same time not too much drama. Of course, this four-person group can also be transformed into a three-person group according to needs, that is, the role of Sand Monk can be assigned to the second or third child. And in a standard trio, like the "Harry Potter" group, it also needs an absolute protagonist like Harry Potter, who serves as the leader and the way forward, as well as a smart and beautiful hero. Min, is responsible for making ideas and flirting, while the remaining Loen role is responsible for laughing and embarrassing, and also responsible for the dirty and tiring work in the team.
In "Red Fire", Bruce Willis is the team leader, Helen Mirren is responsible for beauty and intelligence, and flirtatious, and John Malkovich is responsible for most of the fun and fighting When necessary, there are scenes responsible for dirty work and hard work, and the somewhat embarrassing Morgan Freeman had to die in the end. So, in "Red Flame Battlefield 2", it became a standard three-person team. Of course, some people say how to forget Mary Louise Parker. In fact, this elderly beauty has never been a member of red, just one of the vase. The vase has always only been responsible for looking good, so what she has to do is all kinds of To be cute, it is enough to do enough of the vase's role. And Katherine Zeta-Jones and Li Bingxian who joined later were just foreign aid groups in red. They were responsible for more complicated tricks and made some jokes more adequate. Well, a well-matched team naturally needs a good opponent. A seemingly calm and fierce Neil MacDonald is not enough to hold back, so above him, Anthony Hopkins Appropriately appeared, the choice of this role really made the whole "Red Flame Battlefield 2" come alive. This is also the essence of the level of the second part exceeding the level of the first.
A good story needs enough ingredients, and "Red Flame Battlefield 2" obviously did it, so it's good enough. It's just that this one doesn't have Morgan Freeman, which is somewhat regrettable, and Anthony Hopkins also died, so who can follow such a good show in the third part. Sexy as Catherine Zeta Jones has also become a flash in the pan, so who is the next flash in the pan? In this way, I am a little curious about the third part.
