Mysterious movie, unmysterious Mission: Impossible

Overall, this is an era of lack of creativity, especially for movies. Take this movie as an example, this is not entirely derogatory, from the rapid editing of the theme music at the beginning to the content of the movie, to the enhancement of the meaning of "impossibility" throughout the movie, to the tribute of the action scenes to the previous series, to the disk Trick and so on... Everything shows that this new work is just doing its best to return to its predecessors, either copying, strengthening, or parodying. Is this bad? Not necessarily, because to some extent, this is a return to the essence of the series, or its vitality, zoom in. This is the mystery of the series of movies, and bigger, it is the mystery of the genre movies. A weird paradox, because it also seems to show that originality is crudely made. Unfortunately, this is true many times.


An embarrassing situation is that such movies are now both interesting and boring. The interesting thing is that it is showing good to the fans. In addition to the aforementioned tribute to the forward, it is also constructing a text structure that refers to classic movies on a larger scale. The third person, Casablanca, Hitchcock, found these classics. Shadows are very interesting (there is even 007, but I think it is unintentional, Hunter has never been so similar to Bond as in this movie), put aside these intertexts, and think again, what else is there in the movie ?

Oh, maybe I’m not right. The "Battle of Turandot" in the movie is really a wonderful schedule. It is comparable to the scene of the Bournemouth’s three-mile London station. It seems that there are few movies now. It will be such a fine setting for such a scene. The scene is so great that I think the rest of the movie can be ignored. This is also the contradiction between the part and the whole when creating.

In addition, some of them didn't. In the Ghost Protocol, we saw Brandt played by Jeremy Renner for the first time. The guess at the time (or the real intention) was to let Renner take Tom Cruise’s class. You can see this in the movie. However, in the fifth part, it is very interesting. Brandt's existence seems to be just to set off Hunter, and people can't help wondering whether there is any story behind the scenes of the movie. There is also Hunter's wife Julia who appeared from the third film. In that movie, she is Hunter's emotional core, and the fourth short appearance is used for sublimation. She disappeared in this movie, and the movie didn't mention it. Instead, there was a female agent Elsa who had an ambiguous relationship with Hunter. Well, I want to say that they look quite alike, really alike.
