The weakness of literary and artistic themes and the pain of changing the old and new generations are terrible for middle-aged actors. Don't you see that even Mnison saves his son and his daughter with fierce countenance, Don't see that Sean Penn also embarks on the path of a cold-blooded killer. The soup can't be said that the sword is not old anymore. There are too many fights and kills at the age of 50. However, the most important spirit cannot be covered by the drooping skin around the eyes.
However, for Tom Cruise, who was "dead", the first film that was officially transformed into an action actor was "Mission Impossible".
For Tom Cruise, the significance of "Mission Impossible" is not just a simple action film adapted from an old TV, but the first film he participated in. And we have also seen that the director and partner of Liushui, and the hot soup is the panacea for the survival of the "Mission Impossible" series.
Brian De Palma's "Mission Impossible 1" is still trying to find the feeling between plot and action, while Wu Yusen's "Mission Impossible 2" replaces the plot with being handsome. However, under the guidance of the industry's famous receiver JJA, the "Mission Impossible" series, like "Star Trek" and "Star Wars", accurately finds the balance between the aesthetics of contemporary audiences and the demands of creators.
JJ Abrams's golden finger is not so strong.
Emphasizes the personal heroism of teamwork, the not exaggerated buddy feelings, the right comedy elements, the spectacle scenes that travel the world, the action design beyond imagination (the essence of impossible tasks), and the high-tech (especially the iconic icon) beyond imagination The human skin mask), Ven Reems shows a small face, sexy (especially long legs) and a female character who can beat you out of shit at the same time, and Tom Cruise, who was beaten out of shit and then killed him .
This is the "Mission Impossible" that audiences like.
Anyway, the IMF is just a secret service bureau. Why must we go around the spy war?
In short, after JJ Abrams took over, "Mission Impossible" has found its backbone again. Although she is still the little girl who can be dressed up, the little girl already has a personality.
In recent years, the soup in fashion action movies seems to be carved out of the same mold: science fiction films "Landscaping" and "Edge of Tomorrow" are excluded, and "Mission Impossible"'s Ethan Hunt and "Dangerous The similarity of Roy Miller in "The Spy" has exploded. The only difference is "The Detective Jack", which is full of cold hardcore detective stories.
To re-excavate other perspectives and potentials from actors whose performance styles have been fixed depends on the director's personal knowledge of actors. From this point of view, the word-of-mouth is not as good as expected, but the likable director Christoph McCauley does have a unique view of this middle-aged man.
We can see from "Mission Impossible 5" that Christopher McCauley is good at digging out the relationship between the characters, and it is easy to arouse the chemical reaction between the characters: "The Detective Jack" is like this, the screenwriter of " This is true for "Edge of Tomorrow", and even more so for "Mission Impossible 5". "Bird Guide" Brad Bird's "Mission Impossible 4" although climbed the Burj Khalifa, although it successfully introduced another resident character Jeremy Renner besides Simon Page, it is easy to find that Ben Although the concentrated characters have distinct characteristics, they are too isolated and lack interaction and lack the in-depth relationship between the characters. And this weakness disappeared in "Mission: Impossible 5": Simon Peggy's role is still a daily hunter, but it is more plump than before. Jeremy Renner lacks action scenes, but he and Venreem The interaction between S. and Alec Baldwin is very interesting. The role of Rebecca Ferguson can be called the best supporting actress in the series, sweeping the series of women's vase image, exuding a mature, sexy, powerful and charming allure. It can even be compared with Emily Bronte in "Edge of Tomorrow."
Even the established image of Ethan Hunt has given the audience a new understanding of him.
In general, under the control of the new director, "Mission Impossible 5" appears mature and stable without losing humor, while the story is complicated and not messy. The characters are rich in layers, and the sense of suspense is well laid out and created.
In terms of action scenes, "Mission Impossible 5" inherited the series, especially after JJA took over, as always, it was desperate. At the beginning, the aircraft was picked up. The underwater section of the midfield was impressive, and the subsequent car chase battles were more recent years. Rarely, it looks good, especially the motorcycle chase, which is almost a high level not seen in 10 years.
But compared with the spectacle performance of "Mission Impossible 4", "Mission Impossible 5" is obviously much weaker. On the one hand, the exoticisms that can be found in the world have basically been searched. "Mission Impossible 5" was spinning around in Europe and took the time to go to Morocco. It was not as lucky as "Mission Impossible 3 & 4". It is naturally less fun to mess around in landmark buildings; on the other hand, this action drama is more pursuing its narrative practicality. It is rare to see specially left blank action dramas with strong sense of design, but continuation The first episode is down-to-earth, organically combined with the plot, and complements each other.
This is especially evident in the high-altitude battle at the Vienna Grand Theater. The design here, in line with the setting of the terrorist organization behind the scenes, has the style of "Assassin's Creed". The assassination activity was carried out on the stage of Puccini's famous opera "Turandot", and it was organized in a limited space. Fighting and kicking, and at the climax of "Nobody Sleeps Tonight", followed by a series of subsequent assassinations, the impression is quite pleasant. However, as mentioned before, similar scenes do not have the strong visual impact of Landmark Adventure. Although the design is very good, it is somewhat inadequate in terms of expressiveness.
The same goes for the underwater card exchange in the "Mission: Impossible 4" section of the stairs. From a design point of view, one must go into the water after going to the sky. However, unlike the fear of height, the sense of suffocation and urgency under water is difficult to convey through the lens. Although there is a heartbeat BGM to assist, this kind of psychological panic still has room for refinement and research.
Convergence in action scenes must be compensated by a matching brain power contest. "Mission Impossible 5" is obviously doing well. Although it is not a perfect fit, it is enough to justify itself. Rhythmic joy is the signature feature of the soup action movie, and the director has kept the suspense steadily to the end. Although the cards are slightly clichéd, they do not lose out on the stage.
Compared with the more serious 007, "Mission Impossible" obviously learned a trick from its competitors, and even in the relationship between the characters, there is a shadow of "Holmes": Rebecca Ferguson is like A certain version of Irene Adler, and Ryan, played by the villain Sean Harris, seemed to see Moliatti at a certain moment in the duel with Hunter.
"Mission Impossible 5" has been favored by all major sponsors as always. BMW is to Ethan Hunt, almost to the point where Audi is to "Destiny Express" and Aston Martin is to 007. More interesting is the large number of functional implants from Microsoft. Lumia can be seen everywhere. Second, Simon Peggy uses the Xbox One controller to play the Xbox One exclusive game "Halo 5" on the PC. It is the highlight, which is completely for his own Newly launched games and special features are advertised.
What is not worth mentioning is that "Mission Impossible 5" has funding from China: Movie Channel and Ali Pictures. From the point of view of effect, the funding this time should be exactly the same as DMG's operations in "Circle Messenger", "Iron Man 3", "Transcendent Hacker" and other films: apart from giving money to be taken as a victim, there is no right to speak in production. . In fact, in the first few trailers, specials, and even on the official website, the logos of the movie channel and Alibaba Pictures were not visible. And this investment, obviously, did not get the shameless flattery of "Transformers 4", which is simply a blessing.
Zhang Jingchu can be regarded as a full bottle of soy sauce, not much different from the doctor and nurse in "Iron Man 3". From the personal perspective of an actor, Zhang Jingchu also played a supporting role in "Peak Hour 3" back then. Her English level was not good enough, and now she is getting worse and worse. She has reached the level of Long Tao Lu Ren Jia, which is infinitely embarrassing.
Hollywood’s demand for Chinese actresses has long passed the curiosity of the 90s and early 21st century when it was just opening up. The Chinese market has gradually grown up. If two local actresses are still making a lot of money, why bother Spend the wronged money. There is really a need like Li Qianhuan and Lingdie in "X-Men: Apocalypse". Why not find a Chinese girl on the spot, save money and take care of the fans.
But anyway, the movie channel and Alibaba Pictures are also seriously included in the credits. As long as JJA and Liangtang do not sell copies, it is acceptable for Ethan Hunt to visit China.
