This is the best movie, this is the best time

Tough guy, beauty; it's not that the whole film relies on CG, but real swords and guns explode, light and shadow, and steam hissing; I am not an adult, nor have I been bombarded with aesthetic fatigue by countless blockbusters.

My family bought the VCD of this movie in 1999. It was dubbed in three-disc Chinese, and it was genuine (?). It shocked me when I watched it, and it was even deeper than the deep impact of the movie of the same genre I watched in the cinema. I watched it again today, 720p Blu-ray rip, the feeling is still very deep.


Bruce Willis is the protagonist in Die Hard, and the role here is obviously weakened. But he went from beating mandarin ducks to being domineering in NASA, to still putting his own will first in the universe, to finally saving the guy and entrusting him to him, all of them embody the style of an American tough guy.

After listening to the original soundtrack, I realized that Ben Affleck was so silly singing.

Liv Taylor was only 21 years old when the film was released. Even if she is stuck in the bed by her father, she will not make people feel like a slut. For the captains of the two drilling teams in the sky, she is the symbol of our world, representing all the beautiful, loved, and missed things on the earth.

The performances of the above three were basically expressionless. Bruce is restrained, but it's just right. The other two can only let go when they are affectionate. In fact, they are similar to our young people.


Has anyone noticed that Mr. Sharp was Mahon who was later escaped from prison? In fact, Mr. Sharp has a long life. Such a conscientious, skilled and responsible person has to carry a group of invisible cowboys and watch them go around like a headless fly in the sky (NASA's biggest mistake!). When it was time to stop the loss, he was hit by a big iron pliers. Please, this is also an order. Finally, the hole was dug out, and Harry who was left behind did not ignite again. When I was a child, I never knew what he was doing with his hand on that joystick. Didn’t I say that the remote control was broken? Later I learned that he was going back to manually ignite the people who killed all the planes in the last half minute. Considering the error when he landed last time, I don't think he can find a place to turn around.


Mr. Sharp’s crew includes a girl (who was yanked by a Russian astronaut) and Gruber (who was killed by a meteorite after bombing). The head of the other crew was still upright, but he also passed away prematurely.


Harry's men are a bunch of characters who are good at funny. For example, the fat max, the strong bear, the lecherous hound, the oscar with the crooked nose (owen wilson!) is this film that made me meet buscemi. There was also a noonan who basically had no lines, and died in AJ's arms.


Nasa's head, Truman, looks a bit like Expanse's male protagonist, except that the head is rounder? They should be missing by a seniority.


Although the president had no role in the scene, the speech was good, and I was overloaded with small pieces of paper back then.


One detail: Harry unplugged AJ's trachea and gave him his badge, and then said give it to Truman. This echoed the previous Truman's statement that he also wanted to perform a flight mission, but he had no chance.


Harry's old partner, Chip, is also an old drama. This master has been hiding behind the scenes, doing his job well, and winning back the love of his ex-wife and the respect of his children, which can be described as a middle-class American dream. Liv Taylor ran into Affleck's arms in a big flower group, which was quite moving. Whenever there was a little turmoil before, the camera would always turn to the earth, staring at her clusters. After all, she paid far more attention to the situation in the sky than any of us. When Hound got off the plane, he made out with the prostitute, and was also naughty to buy a copy.


Regarding the plot, of course, it is inevitable, but it is still very good in the routine of American heroes saving the world. Compared with the catastrophe of the sun, the rescue of the center of the earth, 2012, etc., the story is very concise and relatively more credible.
