Please wake up from imagination

On the way to watch "The Ghost Party of 007", flipping the phone to read the morning news, the series of terrorist incidents in Paris, stadium explosions, and theater massacres were shocking. We are living in an era when terrorism is prevalent. From all perspectives, it is not surprising that a globalized network so closely engulfed everyone in it, profoundly changing the mental state and material ecology of all mankind.
This is also the most intuitive feeling after watching the latest work of the "007" series. In the last episode of "Crisis in the Sky", James Bond lost his composure and was completely breached by his opponents, even jeopardizing his London intelligence service. Immediately after the London Underground fell, Bond drove back to him in the 1960s. The place where she was born, the Jedi fought back, eventually leading to the death of Ms. M. This ending makes "Danger in the Sky" reach the peak of the "007" series of movies. A look back and a finale-style finale make people think about this series that is destined to have another sequel. Continue to look forward to perfectionism. "The Phantom Party" broke this expectation and gave the audience new hope. The director is still Sam Mendes of "Crisis in the Sky", and Bond is still Daniel Craig. This combination is bound to attract all nations. Defan watched, even though he was old-fashioned in his appearance this time, in the first long shot of showing off his skills, he appeared as a white-haired masked person (is this a spoiler?), looking like a white-headed man. The detective, not the agent of Yashi.
Of course, the whitening of the temples or the drooping of the corners of the mouth does not make the Bond exercisers questionable, so the various problems at the screenwriter level completely defeated the genre of the "Craig Age" 007 created by "Crystal Crisis". In "Crisis in the Sky", while allowing Bond to travel around the world as a rule, the script level gives Bond an unsolvable answer, that is, the self-identity crisis is tied to the British intelligence career, and family hatred is one. . In "The Ghost Party", Bond’s biggest rival is undoubtedly the "Ghost Party". His contest with the black hand hidden behind the scenes should be a series of levels and suspense. However, whether it is a trip to Rome or Austria In the brigade, all the transitions and ups and downs are the lowest level of hard bridge, hard horse fighting and car chasing, and even the high-tech props that are crucial in the previous works of the "007" series (creatively deconstructed in "Crystal Crisis") are also written by the screenwriter. I think the humorous way is devalued, which makes the whole film become Bond's action show, and the handling of some crisis scenes is unsatisfactory, such as the scene where Bond is pierced through the skull, which lacks a sense of oppression, and has no layers before and after. It’s just a mechanical repeat of the "one-minute rescue" routine. Under such a rhythm, the play only uses a setting of "villains controlling the global youth newspaper network" to explain the rationality of all behaviors. It is very pale. The film There is also controversy over the persistence of Bond's identity in, but it looks more like the result of a "Cold War" mentality, and has little to do with the organization the protagonist wants to resist.
While the logical relationship between the segments is flattened, every time the most watched "Bond girl" in the "007" series has almost become a real vase. There are at least four girls in the film that have intersections with Bond, except for the beginning. In addition to the Mexican girl and the regular secretary Monipeni, the widow of the ghost party member played by Monica Bellucci and the daughter of the deceased played by Léa Sedou have the most roles. The former can almost be ignored because of the short After two short scenes (one encounter, one lingering after rescue), the character disappeared as if he had never existed before. The latter fell in love with Mr. Agent completely after being rescued twice by Bond, and made Bond. Continuing the true love to the end, these two affairs brought Bond to Bond besides the usual lace temptation, but also exposed the unsustainable dilemma of the "007" series after "Skyfall Crisis": Is it to continue to stop the pattern? Sleeping, or narrate the Bond story in a larger macroscopic view. Obviously, "The Ghost Party" hopes to achieve the latter. The director is working very hard to create terrorist incidents around the world (this also makes it difficult for the audience to watch this film. It does not associate it with what is happening in Europe), but this kind of terrorism imagination that has been launched hastily shares the same origin with the crisis of the Cold War era, and in such casual dramas, it is even more obvious to this romantic drama. The invincible agents of "Where to go" cannot be controlled. The old building that was damaged in the previous episode was completely destroyed in this episode, but in the end, "Ghost Party" did not become the new benchmark for genre films, instead it became a ready-made product with the concept first.
Of course, some people will say that many of the more than 20 Bond films from the 1960s to the present are also seriously stylized. It is true that works like Crisis in the Sky (perhaps including all the series starring Craig) that actively jump out of existing thinking and have the courage to laugh at themselves are relatively rare, but the key is not the reflection of Crisis in Sky, but this one. The film is an excellent example of a sober look at the current situation of the film series and its countermeasures. In this sense, "The Ghost Party" uses the role of childhood playmates to connect the villains of the previous works. Obviously, like the rest of the film, it is a conscious self-imagination.
