Every summer, I always feel sluggish, have a bad appetite, and have poor sleep. For two consecutive years, the summer in Shanghai has not been so hot, but it has only been three times. This year, it has returned to the state of sauna days. In addition to the rainy season in Jiangnan some time ago, it has been drowsy by the hot and humid climate, and I can’t afford to do anything. Spirit (sometimes even the desire to watch romantic action movies is also lacking). As a result, since June until now, a film review has not been coded, and he will soon enter the late stage of lazy cancer. This "Black Sun Crisis" was watched in mid-June. If you don't write it, you will almost forget it, and you have no choice but to regain your spirits.

"Black Sun Crisis" is the last "007" movie of the last century. It has the tail of the golden age of action movies, so it is both classic and clichéd from today's perspective. The classic is that the action scenes are hot and fierce, and the CG technology is not used on a large scale like today, there is a real sense of punch to the flesh. The action scenes presented in this film are frequent and compact, from the speedboat chase on the Thames, to the alpine skiing in Central Asia, the nuclear bomb removal in the oil pipeline, to the helicopter battle in the caviar factory, and finally the wits in the Russian nuclear submarine. Fighting courage.



The cliché is that there is still no element of getting rid of terrorists and Cold War mentality. If the "media terrorism" used in the last "Empire of Tomorrow" is still advancing with the times, then the "oil problem" in this book and the obvious hostility towards Eastern Europe all have a feeling of going back to the old path. At least it doesn't have any appeal until now.

Of course, the golden age of action movies has an advantage, that is, it can attract the leading actresses of the time. Sophie Marceau, who played the role of the Bond girl, is undoubtedly one of the goddesses of that era. In her early thirties, she was in full bloom. The youthful and sweetness of the early years has faded, replaced by a sexy and charming mature charm. Perhaps only a goddess of the level of Sophie Marceau is qualified to stage a "love and kill" rivalry with Bond. Unlike the previous Bond girls who were always in a subordinate position, Sophie Marceau played Bai Fumei as the promoter of the plot. With the reversal of the story, it gradually changed from a weak and poor lamb to a poisonous snake with fangs. De is deeply affectionate, sometimes playing Bond between his palms, and in the end he hates Bond under his gun. If there is no such a dramatic clue, the film is bound to appear dull and boring.



Finally, mention the other two supporting actors in the film. One is the No. 2 Bond girl, Dr. Jones, and Sophie Marceau is responsible for the appearance, then Denise Richards is responsible for the chest, and she looks like Lara in "Tomb Raider" as soon as she appears, tight-fitting Was it really good to dress so simple as a scientific researcher with vest heating pants (to cause crime)? Although the figure is hot and the looks are not bad, but the Golden Plum Award the following year awarded Denise Richards for the worst supporting actress, or many of them were dragged down by the character's personality.

Another supporting role is worth mentioning. He is Desmond Levelyn, the actor of the inventor "Mr. Q" in the British intelligence service. "Black Sun Crisis" is the 17th "007" he participated in. movie. Even though "Mr. Q" doesn't have many roles in each episode, his witty humor and often giving Bond at critical moments still leave a deep impression. Unfortunately, not long after the film was released, Mr. Levering was killed in a car accident at the age of 85. Here, I would like to pay high tribute to this eternal "Mr. Q". It is true that the protagonist of "007" is Bond, but without the support of the golden supporting roles (such as M, Q, Moneypenny, etc.), this series will probably lose its color a lot.
