It is not easy in this era to shoot the fifth part of a series and still maintain the standard. Today, when the subject of special agent action movies is becoming more and more common, it is even more difficult to bring endless freshness to the audience. Since 007 changed to Daniel Craig, the one is not as good as one. The latest one can only be saved by a full version of Adele's Skyfall. The Bourne Shadows had to call Matt Damon back to continue shooting, only Ethan Hunt The leading IMF team can always attract me to continue following this series one by one, and the level of excitement remains the same. The fifth part is particularly pleasant to me. Before talking about the beauty of "Mission Impossible 5", I want to talk about the memory of this series.
The first time I watched "Mission Impossible" should be "Mission Impossible 3". In 2006, it was the first time this series was released in China. At that time, I was still in high school at the Changhong Cinema in Longfu Temple. (Now this movie theater has been abandoned, and Rongfu Temple really abandoned everything.) It's a blunder, because my sister obviously wanted to take me to see "Crazy Stone", which had an excellent reputation at the time, but because of the show. I couldn't keep up, so I had to buy "Mission Impossible 3". Now think about it carefully, in fact, the two movies have a certain connection. The bridge segment where the international robber Mike steals the stone from the wire rope girder in "The Stone" originated from Brother Tom in "Mission Impossible 1".
From Rome to Shanghai, from the thrilling shuttle of the plane in the windmills to the shocking jump of Ethan Hunt in Shanghai Jinmao. I haven’t seen anything in the world, and I’ve never watched many movies. I’m left to sigh, sighing that my adjectives that I have stored for many years are extremely scarce. That also made me the first time I heard the theme melody of Mission Impossible in a movie theater ( Before this melody has been badly used by domestic variety shows), when the music sounded, I had already burst into blood when I was a teenager.
In a blink of an eye, four years later, in the Spring Festival of 2012, I arranged a few students to come to Huaxing UME early in the morning to watch the first game of "Mission Impossible 4" in the morning. I remember that we went very early, but we still only grabbed it. The rightmost seat in the first row. It takes courage to sit in the first row in the IMAX hall. It is crazy to sit on the edge of the first row, but I still feel shocked after watching it. When the opening light the fuse melody sounded, I still got goose bumps. Later, I was bound to watch the IMAX version sitting in the normal position again, and watch the normal version with my parents. (For the picky moviegoers of my dad, in recent years, I have only taken him to the cinema to see the handful of films such as "2012", "Inception", "Mission Impossible 4" and "1942" , His bad film point is much lower than mine) Even if it is a repetitive plot, I still watch the movie three times with relish, and I am completely absorbed in the stunning visual effects and the ups and downs of the story. The director of 4 is Brad Bird, the animation director of Pixar. This is why we can create a black technology in the Kremlin that requires "tracking and anti-seeking".
After talking about the memory and returning to reality, three years later is another three years.
When we were watching Mission Impossible 5, what am I watching? To put it bluntly or imagination, Hollywood's industrial level has really surpassed Ma Liang's magic pen. It can not only draw things you can imagine, but also allow technology to enrich your imagination, that is, draw things you can't think of. But in Mission Impossible 5, there are not many amazing black technologies. Compared with the previous ones, the weapons are all DIY. The first time I see the box with the instrument, I know that it is a weapon; The second close-up of the USB flash drive by the Thames shows that there is fraud in it (the close-up is foreshadowing, Hou Xiaoxian is the most reluctant to use it); there must be a "tear the mask" scene in Parliament. These are the logo elements of Mission: Impossible, just like the melody of the theme song. You have been waiting for it. When it appears, you will be moved by the reunion of the deceased after a long absence.
I think the highlight of this movie is the plot. In a doomed routine, how to arrange and how to play is no easier than inventing a staggering black technology. Where do you come from the black technology, there will not be too many problems, scientific flaws unless you encounter a horny geek, you will not be faulty and difficult for you. But "storytelling" is relatively low. Anyone who knows or doesn't can judge your story logic and demonstrate their IQ superiority in the way they think. I admit that this story is actually full of too many unreasonable, but these are the prerequisites for the development of the story, if these unreasonable does not insult your IQ too much, it can actually be ignored. But if there is some creativity in it, it deserves your applause.
Exactly a hundred years ago, during the Griffith period, the "last minute rescue" in "Intolerance" (Intolerance, 1916) provided an ending routine for most of the future stories. This is especially true for action movies, spy films, and superhero movies. The protagonist who represents justice should finally overwhelm evil. This mode has always catered to the tastes of the public. This makes self-sacrificing and saving others not the mainstream, and it is even more of a minority. . (For example, Hu Jinquan’s "Loyalty and Lie Picture" I watched two days ago, the pros and the villains are all gone. In fact, it is rare, and it is impossible to achieve in domestic films. This is one of the reasons why Ning Hao’s "No Man’s Land" has never passed the review) Therefore , "Mission Impossible 5" will never break away from this routine. Therefore, the play of the story itself has certain limitations. This restriction cannot be broken. Two places in the film make me feel very innovative:
1. Hunt is dying underwater.
You know that Hunt will not die, but when the camera slows down and he slowly loses consciousness in the water and there is no sound, This experience is very interesting for the audience, and it has never appeared in the previous movies. The advent of the heroine "like a flying fairy from the sky" even put the audience's heart in the eyes of the throat for a short time, and breathed out a sulky breath in her chest. I have always felt that watching movies and "horse killing chicken" sometimes work on the same principle. Sometimes it is really particular about your emotional mobilization. It is not inferior to the various techniques and efforts of massage, and its purpose is to make you cool. .
2. At the end,
the stronger the villain is in the glass prison , the more obvious the conflict and the better the plot. The first few endings of Mission Impossible were almost all on the protagonist's hand-to-hand combat, killing the opponent with one punch, then the opponent lived again, and then killed. The second and third parts are particularly obvious. The first plane enters the cave, and the fourth plane crashes down. It is also a routine. However, in the fifth part, this kind of technique is too easy to make people aesthetically tired. No matter how dazzling the fight is, it will not make the audience feel fresh. The audience will look forward to whether there is a more agile way to solve the battle and is reasonable. Therefore, the final outcome is also very cute. On the one hand, it solved many of the previous foreshadowings, and it also echoed with Hunt being in a coma in the white smoke at the London audiovisual store.
In addition to these two points, there are too many highlights in the plot, I will not repeat them one by one. The female protagonist, also from Sweden, appeared in Casablanca like Ingrid Bergman. Her character is obviously a tribute to some female characters in the Hitchcock movie. The friendship between Hunt and Benji in the film adds to the connotation of the story. When I was watching the movie, I even yelled myself and assassinated the Austrian Chancellor in Vienna. Was it the fuse that led to the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Grand Duke Ferdinand who visited Sarajevo before the First World War? It happens that the upper Hungary, this Austria, assassinated the leader, causing turmoil in the world and provoking a war. But then I thought about it, maybe I chose to go to the Vienna Opera to match "Turandot". That scene was really wonderful, and my own YY was a bit too much.
What are we looking at when we are watching Mission Impossible? Watch the plot? Look at technology? See the heroine? (The 007 series is right) I think we should be watching the gradual presentation of familiar elements, just like we look forward to the old faces in the spring evening. We look forward to the main theme sounding at the beginning of the film, and we look forward to Brother Tom’s age, and we look forward to the latest technology in mask craftsmanship, and we look forward to all kinds of difficult challenges. The MIF team, which has been banned, continues to fight violence for the world.
Two days ago, I watched the conversation between Jack Ma and Brother Tom. Boss Ma’s English was really good, and there was no obstacle in talking and laughing with Brother Tom, almost every bite of chicken soup. At that time, I felt that if Brother Tom could speak Chinese, I actually expected him to say a sentence in Chinese:
"My audience friends, I want to kill you."
Although this sentence is a bit witty out of date, it is really true. It can reflect my feelings for the Mission Impossible series and the role of Ethan Hunt for nearly ten years. I also hope that Brother Tommy will be able to shoot Mission Impossible 12, 13, 14 as promised by Mr. Tsushima... At that day, I will lead my children to see Mission Impossible.
