Innovation sometimes requires compromise

When I watched the first ace agent got up from my seat, to be honest, I was a little disappointed, not because of her fancy action elements, the sophisticated British aristocratic model and the perspective of the youthful agent, but because the film failed to give Find a suitable narrative frame for these elements. The director wanted too much to prove the difference between himself and the middle-aged gentleman, so he did not hesitate to borrow the lines of the characters in the film to complain about the classic to trite storylines. But this unmistakable stance makes the film's narrative look awkward, as if all those new elements are showing off how brilliant they really are. Therefore, the innovation of the film felt superficial and showy to me at the time.

But the second one really made me discover what's innovative about the series. This time, the film pays homage to Bond in terms of rhythm and plot (for example, it is a major action scene at the beginning, and the middle set of information depends entirely on male charm and must be played all over the world), but it shows its own characteristics in every corner. Whether it's cartoon-like scenes, more imaginative characters, ingenious props that inherit the advantages of the previous episode, or smooth and shrewd actions from beginning to end, they are all eye-catching. And all this is due to the fact that the film no longer superficially attacked the original classic frame, but played a new height on the basis of the original frame, and innovation sometimes requires compromise.

The second work allowed me to see the original Matthew, the Matthew who was good at telling stories. No matter how classic (routine) stories were, they could always tell something new in his hands. If you like King Kipian, if you like the first lesson of X-Men, then please go into the theater happily, the movie will not let you down!



ps After watching the movie, my partner said that the villain in this episode is wonderful, but the idea is not high, and it seems that it is not as extreme and idealistic as the villain of Samuel Jackson. But I think that the most vulgar people do the craziest things, which in itself is an anti-routine. Moreover, this villain setting even reminds me of Goldfinger... alas, how much I love 007

    This series is ruined. Originally, everyone looked at the British gentleman style, but in the end, they insisted on climbing the American cousin who had no cultural background, and the southern country ruined everything! Aunt Moore looked like "The first worst in the world", but she died inexplicably. The biggest highlight of the film is not to believe it-it turned out to be a cameo Elton John! Aunt, I will give you a two-star call! You are the most coquettish and beautiful!
