Following this film series, which literally translates as "Mission Impossible", we went to the sky with Tom Cruise, traversed the sea of ​​swordsmanship, witnessed the prosperity of the world, and experienced various cutting-edge equipment from submarines to helicopters. The beauties in the car and the top luxury life have also tasted the hardship and bitterness of the imminent disaster.

Since its debut in 1996, in the "Mission Impossible" series of movies, more than 20 years does not seem to have left too many traces on Tom's body. He is still leaping for omnipotence, and still insisting on completing the thrilling performance by himself. This has also become the most anticipated visual spectacle for the audience when every movie in the series is released.

After experiencing the previous climbing of the Burj Khalifa and the polar chase, this time Tom directly led everyone to experience the free landing of skydiving, and it was a very difficult high jump low open (HALO) operation, which is very small when approaching the ground. The operation of opening the parachute only by distance is possible in real life only in military missions.

In order to successfully complete the skydiving performance, Tom has practiced skydiving every day for more than a year, including practice and actual shooting a total of 106 jumps. However, under the consultation between the director and Tom, the whole paragraph of the parachuting was presented with a long shot from the bottom to the bottom, which put forward higher requirements for the photographer behind the screen. You must parachute, follow the actor before and after running in the cabin, and then leave the cabin with his back to the ground one second in advance. When going through the clouds and air to rescue, it is necessary to avoid high-speed collisions with actors while approaching the shooting.

It is these hard training and difficult explorations completed over the deserted sky of the UAE that have contributed groundbreaking high-altitude long shots to the world screen. It is bound to become a technical milestone in the history of film. And the reality brought by the meticulous work perfectly fits the special effects of the Paris night scene, and it is by no means a simple computer special effect that can be compared. Director and screenwriter Christopher McQueen is also the first series director to return. The tacit understanding between him and Tom is evident from the large number of detailed shots in the film.

These pioneering achievements of Tomoko are actually the most fascinating characteristics of the series. As a mainstream commercial film for global audiences, the "Mission Impossible" series and characters are showing extremely realistic visual effects and exciting challenges for global audiences. The sincerity and input of the creative team are particularly important. In order to complete the film, 3000 scenes were shot across three continents. 13 helicopters were dispatched, 6 pregnant women including the protagonist Rebecca participated in the filming, as well as 4 weeks of aerial photography, which spanned 2 winters and encountered 5 film interruptions on the way.

And Tom also tried his best to avoid special effects and stand-ins, and paid the price of an ankle fracture. The team and the protagonist's intentions are reflected in every picture in the film, whether it is the helmetless drag racing at the Arc de Triomphe or the helicopter chase in the mountains and valleys. These visual spectacles highlight the essential advantages of the film. Even if we are already familiar with the style of the series of stories, even if Atango leads the team into troubles time and time again, we can always deal with it successfully in the end. But we still have to walk into the theater to feel the immersive shock.

In addition, Tom's continuous challenge to the limit is also a great force that demonstrates human nature time and time again. In the stylized story line, the goal changes at any time, the negative force becomes stronger, and the dilemma and pain faced by the protagonists become deeper and more desperate. But like the cliffs climbed by bare hands at the end of the film, as long as keen thinking, fast action, and desperate persistence, coupled with the teamwork and the firm determination to keep promises, humans can always deal with all kinds of difficulties and complete Mission that seems impossible.

From the creative team to the starring role in front of the scene, the significance of working hard and cooperating with the team has been undoubtedly demonstrated. Breaking through the limits of technology to demonstrate the essential power of the film, but also to convey to all viewers the power of being a human being and the practical significance of always maintaining optimism and positiveness.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout quotes

  • Wolf Blitzer: Stand by. I'm told we're about to get some additional information. I've just been handed a document from Nils Delbruuk, a nuclear weapons specialist who claims to have built the weapons used in these attacks. I've been asked to read this manifesto in its entirety. "There has never been peace without first a great suffering. The greater the suffering, the greater the peace. As mankind is drawn to his self-destruction like a moth to the candle, the so-called defenders of peace - the church, the government, the law - work tirelessly to save humanity from itself. But, by averting disaster, they serve to delay a peace that can only come through an inevitable baptism of fire. The suffering I bring you is not the beginning of the end. It is the beginning of a greater mutual understanding through common suffering. It is the first step toward the ultimate brotherhood of man. The suffering I bring you is the bridge to ultimate peace."

  • Page from "The Destruction of the Current World Order" Manifesto written by John Lark and seen during Ethan Hunt's briefing.: "There has never been peace without first a great suffering, the greater the suffering, the greater the peace. As mankind is drawn to his self-destruction like a moth to the candle, the so-called defenders of peace - the church, the government, the law - work tirelessly to save humanity from itself. But, by averting disaster, they serve to delay a peace that can only come through an inevitable baptism of fire. The suffering I bring you is not the beginning of the end. It is the beginning of a greater mutual understanding through common suffering. It is the first step towards the ultimate brotherhood of man. The suffering I bring you is the bridge to ultimate peace. Today, mankind has been handed the opportunity to escape his destiny, an otherwise inevitable conclusion to a thousand years of intolerance and fear. I call all rationalists who can stand and join in the struggle against the radical theists, all of which fall beneath a common umbrella of ideology. If we were to continue any further we would reach mythology and Aesop's fables. When do we stop? Any belief in a spirituality with no other proof, other than the cravings to project one's self over the rational thinking of the others must be eradicated as it does not only halt progression and development of the human mind and reach, but also hinders it. Here I will emphasize clearly that the judgment upheld against us will be one of human hands, not of a god or other worldly being. Part of the absurd rational is what leads to the obscure justifications, the believers place upon their own disgraceful and belligerent behavior. No. The loss of human life cannot and will not be justified. For this is not the taking of human lives. They are merely puppets, hollow shells that were once human beings. Brainwashed by stories and tales of old, their weak minds have been overpowered by the pressure placed on them by other lifeless puppets. And so, the cycle continues."
