The Weird of Miami Vice

In the movies that I remember, Gong Li has had two passionate scenes with foreign movie stars, the last time in 1997's "China Box", with Jeremy Irons. For Chinese audiences, perhaps the biggest attraction of "Miami Vice" is the passionate scene between Gong Li and Colin Farrell.

However, this film is really bad, and it is hard to imagine that Michael Mann, who has filmed "The Last of the Mohicans", "Pirates of Fire", and "Murder with a Knife", would make such a rough work. From this, it is speculated that the unscrupulous money-burning of "blockbusters" may not be entirely the director's fault, and a considerable part may be the blind factor of investors. This Universal Investment film (it is estimated that 10 "Night Banquet" films can be made) has enough gimmicks, but most of them are old-fashioned Hollywood. Maybe it's because I'm ignorant, and I feel that the small plane in the play uses superb flight skills to follow behind the civil airliner, and the plot that escapes the monitoring of military radar seems to be the only novelty. The other is to drive a high-speed yacht across the sea to Havana to drink and dance Salsa. It's super romantic. I don't know if Aunt Gong Li is seasick or not.

It is said that Michael Mann's original intention in making the film was not to fry the original TV series, so he downplayed the drug dealing plot in the story and wanted to focus on telling the audience about a Chinese mistress (Banker Isabella) who was undercover with a big drug lord. Weird experience.

The plot of the movie is bizarre enough. In the whole play, Gong Li did not abandon the dark and cast the light, and the performance of meritorious redemption was just a passionate sex scene with the undercover. Colin Farrell actually favored extrajudicial favors and committed the country to repeat crimes. According to the existing, it seems that the American police is called corruption. The two undercover agents initially joined the drug cartel to help the police investigate the traitor, but they both forgot about it later, and they ended up inexplicably after saving their wives or lovers. Want to make a sequel?

Aunt Gong Li's acting skills are indeed much better than Colin Farrell's. She was haggard and vicissitudes at first, and then her face gradually glowed with passion, biting her protruding lower lip into it. The miserable expression of yelling and being fooled when he was finally let go is a classic, and Zhang Ziyi, who has less experience, can't make it.

Probably to cover up the 11-year age difference between the male and female protagonists, Colin Farrell is a bit self-destructing of his handsome image, making his beard stubble and looking chubby and sinister.

Some of the passionate moments in the film are so good for no reason, they're almost at the level of a third-rate movie, like the one with Jamie Foxx and Naomie Harris.
