I want to watch some classic old movies. "Spy Belle" is considered a classic American comedy ten years ago. Generally speaking, it is very easy to enjoy.
A sloppy female agent participates in a beauty contest in order to perform a mission and finally gains respect and learns the story of "how to be a woman".
I think the protagonist setting of this movie is quite successful so far. There are many girls who are mixed with men and have very gentle personality. Such girls will not be coquettish and will not wear skirts but will participate in beauty contests. A conflict will bring great comedy.
Let me talk about the good points first. In the first half of the portrayal of the female "male woman" image, other people did not ask other people to say some redundant words such as "this man is a man" and "she is very sloppy", but from the heroine. The clothes (sloppy and stains), the way of eating (gobbling), and the daily situation of going home. Although some parts are a bit overwhelming, the overall is still very fresh and funny.
At the same time, the screenwriter gave this movie a sub-theme that runs through the whole movie. I think it's quite interesting, that is, eating.
If you want to show a person's inner change, you must reflect it in the corresponding habits. It is acceptable from the perspective of eating, but it is not enough to be the most bright spot.
The opening, the first act and the second act all have cotton shoes and depictions of eating. However, the third act did not continue the hidden line of this kind of food. I am quite disappointed. I think this is a small regret for the screenwriter. . I would look more interesting if I interspersed a little bit of food at the climax of the finale.
Since the theme of the film is about the gentle nature of women, the director's opinion is that although a woman sometimes looks and even acts like a man-in-law, she is still a woman by nature. So at the beginning of the movie, the heroine is among a group of men, and at the end, it is among a group of women. Although this symmetry is a little less exciting and a bit rigid, at least from the point of view of the screenwriter, it is still more topical.
Generally speaking, this movie is quite successful. It is a relaxed film, but I personally think it will not be a particularly classic after watching it. I can only say that there is no big mistake, the rhythm is also good, the smile and the actors' acting skills very natural.
