The rebirth process of the special agent movie is very long, but the success of the transformation is well known. The emergence of the two series of "The Bourne Shadow" and "Mission Impossible" turned out to inject vitality and passion into this type of film again. "The Bourne" has created a dark world of secret agents with sharp and swift editing and cold and bleak pictures. The agents are just government killing machines, their hands are stained with dirty blood, and their hearts are blinded by their own conscience, but here it is. At the critical moment, he was just an abandoned son, and Jason Byrne appeared on the big screen as a wounded lone wolf. "Mission: Impossible" attracted the audience's attention with its suspenseful plot and compact and constant rhythm. Ethan Hunt's image is bright and just, and there is always a reliable and united team behind him to support his every action. They trust each other, are willing to give their backs to each other, and can sacrifice their lives for their companions at any time without hesitation.
"Mission Impossible 4" brought a different surprise to the 2012 New Year, turning the happy New Year film atmosphere into a soft and feeble foil. As a big bomb, Tom dived into the Kremlin in 5 minutes and climbed. Climbing the Burj Khalifa, traveling through sandstorms, and even continuing to run after repeatedly kicking his knees has become a momentous story. After 3 years, the arrival of "Mission Impossible 5" did not seem to bring the feeling that "Mission Impossible 4" far surpassed the works of the same period. Loud, little rain".
My evaluation does not mean that "Mission Impossible 5" did not bring a pleasant viewing experience, but that this movie is not as impressive as I imagined it. The same problem occurs in "Avengers 2". These two films are not unfavorable, but under the high expectations of the audience. Although Brother Tom made it in person, the actual situation of the film can no longer satisfy the audience's growing expansion. Appetite.
When dealing with the length of the plot paragraphs, "Mission Impossible 5" did not use a small foreshadowing to trigger a big climax, because the first half of the whole movie is a climax, and a sense of fatigue appears in the second half. The beginning of the airplane climbing scene undoubtedly ignited the passion of the whole movie and opened the curtain for the plot of "Mission Impossible 5". The record store was trapped in the dark night of London. The girl was shot and escaped from the dungeon, gradually accumulating the tension of the movie, until Tom clutched the blood-stained wound in his abdomen, and hung the microphone in the phone booth with a tired face, dragging it. His scarred body walked alone to the cold street, and the rhythm and atmosphere of the whole movie matched perfectly. This is when the protagonist is in danger, isolated and helpless, and when the audience's sense of tension increases. However, the rhythm of the movie began to show signs of getting out of control afterwards. During the assassination of Turandot Theater, the background music and stage performances of "Turandot" were closely integrated with the chase and fight hidden in the dark. The Moroccan diving scene and the car chasing scene are connected end to end, and there is no gap for the audience to breathe. The climax appears one after another, and the heat of the plot reaches its highest point at this time. However, from the time when the USB flash drive was handed over on the Thames in London, the film’s plot enthusiasm showed a tendency to slip, and when it came to the end of the decisive battle, it fell to the lowest point. The combat effectiveness of the syndicate members seemed to be the same as cannon fodder. The scheming villain makes the whole movie anticlimactic, and the overall structure of the movie is also out of the traditional mode of ending, climax and decisive battle.
After talking about the plot structure of the movie, you can talk about the theme of this movie, which is the theme mentioned in "The Bourne". Agents are just government weapons and will be abandoned at any time. From the later encounters of the heroine, it can be seen that many members of the syndicate may have nowhere to go because they were abandoned by the government, and finally chose to join the villain organization. Agents are a group of people sneaking in the shadows. They don't have much normal life to speak of. They cover up their faces with false identities all day long, and use lies to disguise their hearts. Any agent will have done something unrighteous, even Ethan Hunt will be no exception. Otherwise, under the government's manipulation and intervention, he will not be able to become the legend of the agent, nor the trump card of the IMF. When the incident is exposed, when the action is failed, the agent is abandoned, their only role is to carry the black pot on their backs, either disappear in the curse, or die in the gunfire. Perhaps the IMF is just and Ethan Hunter has not done bad things, but other secret service organizations are not IMF, and other secret agents are not Ethan Hunter. They are also human beings, the dependent organizations have abandoned them, and the dependent countries have begun to want them. Their remaining choice is to join the syndicate-in that case, there may be a way out. People are selfish, and survival is often more tempting than upholding justice and revealing the truth. If they are not abandoned, perhaps the syndicate will not appear, at least not so large in scale.
Agent movies are recovering. Daniel Craig brought the 007 series back to the public's field of vision, telling us that James Bond is no longer a pomp, but also a tough guy. Uncle Liam Neeson’s "Hurricane Rescue" rescued her baby girl alone, and was about to demolish Paris with a small pistol. This year's "Secret Service of the King's Man" won countless applause. Uncle Colin is just so handsome. "Female Spy" and "You From Uncle" are outstanding in foreign countries. While the former expresses feminism, the latter is both cute and corrupt. The arrival of "Mission Impossible 5" sprinkled a handful of fuel on the slowly burning bonfire, and the resurgence of the spy movie seems to be just around the corner. I hope that by then, there will be more than just a cool spy on the screen. Human beings of flesh and blood, in this regard, the shaping of characters is also the current defect of many spy films.

ps: September 17th I watched the show at 22:30 in the evening. Although it was Thursday night, there were still a lot of people /The movie is generally good, especially the last thing to do with the villain./The girl in the record shop is so beautiful, she was killed by a single shot, and was kicked down the Burj Khalifa in "Mission: Impossible 4" The female killer is just as miserable/Why the villain’s sense of existence is so low.../The film review dragged on for a long time.
