It's time for women to take full control

Generally speaking, women are vase-like foil roles in spy films. Even if they participate in the action, no matter how hard they fight, the male protagonist will always fight better and smarter than her, and the world will always be saved by male intelligence officers. But in this film, the boys are all rubbish, the fan-headed niche who accidentally shoots the bad guy when he sneezes, and fails without earphone guidance, the tough guy who thinks he can't do anything but is full of flaws, the pervert who loves tofu for girls, and the pervert who messes up the oil. None are reliable. The fat girl with no good looks, with poor makeup and a desolate disguise, originally only performed surveillance tasks, but infiltrated the side of the big devil through emotional communication, and finally even the high-skilled skills such as lying on the plane and fighting. , and then saved the world. When the handsome male "supporting" character at the end of the film was about to show her favor, she resolutely said that she would have a drink with her best friend and gave him a soft nail.

The film mocks men in a playful way and promotes the power of women. Well done, just say what you want to say, don't be like a "senior intern", the whole film is full of fantasy and obscenity.

    The stupid Statham, the princess' sick Byrne, the poisonous Melissa, the funny Miranda... The whole film is full of laughter!

    It's really fun to play a spy-type comedy, well versed in genre elements, both homage and subversion. Melissa McCarthy as the main character is funny and cute. The ensemble play is brilliant, and the supporting roles are very distinct. Especially Rose Byrne and Jason Statham were entertaining. It's also a women's movie. All three of Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy's collaborations are interesting, especially this one. Please continue to create wonderful sparks
