It was worth it when I queued up at Xiaoxitian at 8:00 in the morning, and finally bought the few "golden spots" outside the reserved seats for the two consecutive screenings of "Ace Agent" hosted by the China Film Archive as soon as the ticket was issued. After watching the two films in one go, the amount of information is still quite large. Although there are also slots, but overall it is still very enjoyable and satisfying~
There are two intuitive experiences:
1. The second part has a good inheritance and continuation of the first part in detail;
2. When the audience just watched the first movie and then enjoyed the sequel, when the plot of the movie took a major turning point or a plot related to the first movie appeared, the audience applauded collectively many times. experience that can be experienced.
Let’s talk about a few inheritances and continuations that I have seen:
1. Look well and feeling well
In the first part, Eggsy appeared in a full suit for the first time, and then there was the following dialogue
Merlin: Eggsy, you look well.
Eggsy: I'm feeling well.
In the sequel, after the three people on the plane changed from their casual clothes to their suits, the conversation reappeared, but the objects were reversed.
Eggsy: Merlin, you look so well.
Merlin: I'm feeling well.
2. If you save the world stalk
In the first part, the trapped princess said parting to encourage Eggsy
“If you save the world, we can do in the asshole”
This stalk was mentioned twice in the sequel, the first time Eggsy said goodbye to the princess at home, and the princess replied
“If you save the world again, you know what you can do”
The second time was when Harry and Elton John dealt with the robot dog together
Elton John: Go save the world.
Harry: If I save the world, can I get two tickets of your concert?
Elton John: If you save the world, I can take you to the stage from the back door.
(The memory may be wrong, so to the effect)
3. Classic weapons
In the first part, in addition to the gentleman style revealed by Colin Firth, various open weapons are also a highlight of the film. In addition to the classic umbrellas and lighter grenades in the sequel, there are also a lasso full of western cowboy style, a slightly spoofed bat mine sweeper, and a matching baseball grenade. At the same time, the original watch has also been further upgraded. It can directly crack various microchips, and the newly equipped briefcase is also a must. In addition to being used as a machine gun and launching artillery shells, it can also be transformed into a bulletproof shield at critical moments, which can be said to be multi-purpose.
4. The art of fighting
In the first "Kingsman", the blade girl showed a difficult maneuver, and in the sequel, Eggsy himself played, and demonstrated how to complete the perfect circle in the air in the battle with the double agent.
5. Manners maketh man
The classic line "Manners maketh man" will undoubtedly reappear in the sequel, and he also chose the bar scene, but this time Harry, who had just recovered his memory, did not beat all the gangsters down, but took this Let Statesman's Whiskey show off a few gauntlets.
6. Atypical villains
The villain Poppy played by Julianne Moore, like Valentines in the first film, is not a typical villain in traditional spy movies. As the world's largest drug lord, she hid deep in the mountains and forests of Cambodia, and transformed her residence into an American style. By the way, she also kidnapped singers to add to her daily life. If it weren't for the patrolling of bodyguards with guns and live ammunition, most people would think that this was the case. It is a fairy tale castle built by a rich woman for herself. Another similarity between Poppy and Valentines is that they almost never do it by themselves. They seem harmless to humans and animals, but they are actually ruthless. However, in terms of the final death phase, this time the villain Boss was still high before his death.
7. Wall full of butterflies
Harry, who was rescued by Statesman after being injured, claimed to be an entomologist, and painted all kinds of butterflies on the wall of the temporary residence, which just echoed the full wall of butterflies in the toilet of his residence in the first film, and the screenwriter also borrowed it. Merlin's mouth further explained that Harry was faced with two choices when he was young. One was to continue studying entomology, and the other was to join the army. He finally chose the latter and had the opportunity to become a Kingsman agent.
To sum up a few more impressive jokes:
1. After the Kingsman headquarters and branch were blown up, the surviving Eggsy was taught by Merlin in front of the ruins not to cry. He had to wait for his revenge to find a corner to cry, and then go all out to find their doomsday redemption - a bottle of Statesman wine , The two people who originally wanted to take a sip, they couldn't stop drinking, they kept looking for excuses to toast, and the two who finally agreed not to cry also directly hugged their heads and cried, and told each other sincerely;
2. Statesman's Boss claimed that his organization was financially strong, so the stock price of STS, codenamed STS, went up as soon as the camera turned (suddenly felt that making wine is indeed faster and easier to make money than being a tailor);
3. Elton John brings his own laughs almost every time he appears, especially in the last climax scene, after he beat out 3 big bodyguards by himself, he used his "friend" relationship with the mechanical dog to successfully help Harry clear the siege;
Finally, let's talk about the pitfalls:
1. Statesman is a mysterious organization with a lot of money, and members call each other by the name of the wine. When I hear this, I always feel that I have gone to the wrong set. Can the screenwriter dare to say that he has not seen Conan?
2. This film claims to have assembled 4 Oscar winners. As a result, Halle Berry and Jeff Bridges were just playing tricks and fighting, and they didn't even have a chance to show their hands. Channing Tatum's luck wasn't much better. I don't understand the upbringing of a gentleman, except for the first action scene in the first appearance, after that, I was poisoned and the awkward dance was directly frozen...
3. Roxy is supposed to be an orthodox Lancelot. As a result, in the first part, he was only responsible for ascending to high altitudes to play satellites. After that, he could only shout "You are awesome" on the phone on the snow. In the second part, he just received the "Best Partner". "The good man card, was directly killed by the missile, and the opportunity to appear later was gone.
4. In the same way, Merlin has been the man behind Wang Nan for a long time. This time, he finally went out to work, but he had to step on the landmine for Eggsy. It was a pity that he had a good voice. In addition, the fact that the mines in the film can be closed on demand, can't they choose to close the mines to rescue Merlin after Eggsy and Harry control the situation?
5. It is understandable for Roxy to lead the bento. If a super powerful rear like Merlin hangs, will Kingsman still operate in the future? Or does the screenwriter still have a way to bring him back to life?
6. I don’t know if Kingsman also had a requirement that he must be a Pulsatilla when determining the candidate of Arthur. Although the new Arthur only had a few minutes of soy sauce, it felt like he was chosen based on the appearance of the previous one…
7. As a double agent, Whiskey was rescued and regained consciousness after being hit in the head by Harry. It didn't seem to take a day, and Ginger, played by Halle Berry, had fully mastered how to restore his memory, so he was very interested in Statesman. It is commonplace to be shot in the head, and it is common to restore memory every three days, so that the internal memory triggers of each other are already known?
8. Whiskey's idea of destroying Eggsy and Harry's antidote is also very bizarre - when all drug users and drug dealers disappear from the world, the demand for drinking will further increase, and Statesman's stock price will also rise further;
9. I don't know if Poppy is so confident in his mine array that he asked a lawyer to send the coordinates directly. He doesn't worry about the lawyer remembering the route at all.
10. Regarding the antidote, the world will put all its hopes on Poppy, but according to Poppy, the antidote is stored all over the world, why does no one want to go and look for it? If she finds it, she might be able to mass-produce it by analyzing the ingredients. Wouldn't it also be able to get rid of her threat?
11. Gather all the infected people in the stadium and close them in iron cages to form a "skyscraper prison". I feel that this design is purely for visual impact, not to mention whether it is safe or not. If the infected person hangs and bleeds all over the place, wouldn't the people below suffer? Besides, in such a cage, how to solve the basic physiological needs? Take a step back and say that if people are locked up like this, even if the antidote comes, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to take down the cages one by one and distribute the antidote?
12. Eggsy asked the princess in the toilet before "making out" with Charlie's girlfriend. Did he not worry about being eavesdropped by doing so? Besides, since Charlie's girlfriend also has a golden circle tattoo, if she is a ruthless character like Charlie, wouldn't it be dangerous for Eggsy to expose herself like this?
