Agents who don't talk nonsense and don't flirt with girls are good agents of the people - Commentary on "The Bourne 5"

Farewell to the nondescript fourth installment, Matt Damon returns, director Paul Greenglass returns, and familiar styles finally return together.

The cold and realistic pragmatism has always been a unique feature of this series, no handsome fighting, no dazzling high-tech, all code of conduct is driven by goal-oriented tasks. It is easy not to make a move, and the shot is a killer move. It is as swift as the wind, as soft as a forest, as invading as fire, and as motionless as a mountain.

It's really not easy these days to find a low-key agent who doesn't talk nonsense, doesn't flirt with girls, and doesn't spend money to make money. Everyone is a civil servant, spending taxpayers' money, and doing tasks without distractions is the right way, a professional thing Or leave it to a professional.

This film is based on the current popular network security theme. Many plots contain intuitive allusions to reality, and even some characters can vaguely find prototypes. For example, the deceased Apple Godfather Joe, if he is over-interpreted by conspiracy theories, his death seems to become suspicious all of a sudden.

The car chase scene at the end, in my opinion, is a failure of the film. Not only is the filming protracted and lengthy, but it is more like an advertising display that highlights the performance of the car brand than the tension it creates.

Overall, the overall impression of the fifth part to me is pretty good. Of course, the North American Rotten Tomatoes evaluation is generally understandable. After all, the high expectations for this film are there, and this film is still less than the first three parts of the series.

And the biggest slot I have after watching it is the Chinese subtitle translation of this film! (Only recall these for the time being, welcome to add) The

first subtitle translation of the opening sentence "Let's destroy their database with SQL statements". Let's not talk about the technical problem of destroying the database with SQL. After destroying their database, where will the hacker download the data she wants to steal?

The common "Alpha Team, Bravo Team" in shootout films is literally translated as "Alpha Team, Bravo Team", and it is assumed that the translator is not familiar with such special terms.

In the film, the villain agent asset is translated as "Essette", but this is not actually a person's name. In the "Bourne Bourne" series, the CIA collectively refers to all the secret agents of its subordinates who are lurking around the world and specializing in assassination missions.

Jason Bourne was checked for documents when he passed through customs. The staff screen displayed a green label "clear" (approved), and the Chinese subtitles translated as "execute clear".

The most blind one, in the arrest operation in the Greek Square, the agent radio reported the target "blond hair", which means the blonde hair of Nicky Parsons (the CIA female agent who appeared in the previous films) on the screen. At this time, the Chinese subtitles showed: brown hair! If you do the listening translation of the gun version, it’s okay to mistake blond for brown, but you have a script, such a low-level mistake, even if you type the original sentence of the script into the computer for machine translation... the

whole world The spy 5 is released in 2D version, only China is specially for 3D conversion, there is a popular saying that it is because the 2D version is too easy to be stolen and recorded, and the gun version resources are released, and the 3D version is for anti-piracy...

OK Okay, you say yes...

But why has our country popularized basic English education for so many years, but in the end, what we often see in the cinema is the translation of subtitles of imported movies at the junior high school level. If you spend so much effort examining all kinds of ideologies, can you not find anyone to examine the grammar of words?

    Ordinary action movies can be given 4 stars or more. By Berne’s standards, they can only give 3 stars (most of them are emotional points). The main problem is that the story is not good. Everyone’s motives are very strange and logically scattered. This series has always been clean and tidy. Of course, you can see that the director has tried his best to keep up with the rhythm of the first three parts. The performance is nothing to say, the soundtrack is very good and makes people stay in the scene all the time (continuously making people think The first three)

    Just one feeling-tired. The script is old-fashioned, the conspiracy is low-level, and it all depends on the action drama to make up the numbers. After doing all four and wanting to recall Byrne, the protagonist's halo turned on so that the audience was temperless. The scene of the Greek riots was good. Meng Meng had a facial paralysis all the way, and there was no half-star spark with Alicia. It's hard to look people up.

Jason Bourne quotes

  • Craig Jeffers: [after Alicia Vikander's character, Heather Lee, alerts three top CIA directors that a recent hack on the CIA's main servers was done by a hacker linked to Jason Bourne] Bourne? Jesus Christ!

  • Jason Bourne: [the first time they see each other in the film, while at a demonstration that turns into a riot] I told you, Christian Dassault is going to get you killed.

    Nicky Parsons: We don't have a choice, Jason. It started again. A new program. Iron Hand. It's even worse than before.

    Jason Bourne: What's that got to do with me?

    Nicky Parsons: Because it matters. It matters.

    Jason Bourne: Not to me, it doesn't. All that matters is staying alive. You get off the grid, survive.

    Nicky Parsons: I don't believe that and neither do you. Look at yourself. Look at what you're doing. You can't live like this for much longer.
